I loved the thought of having friends but I never thought it would actually happen. I sigh as I walk out of my room on Saturday morning. The week had been good...so far.
Amanda was just waking up as well, although Jacob and been out all night with his friends so he was definitely asleep. I smile and pull my glasses on as I walk downstairs. Mom and dad were also asleep because they had been up all night unpacking (we have a lot of stuff). I walk into the kitchen and grab some cereal.
Amanda had walked into the living room and turned on the TV, to watch the early morning cartoons. I eat my cereal and walk out to the back porch, stretching. It was about 7:34 and the sun was rising. I sit on a lawn chair and readthe book that I had left on the porch.
About two hours later Jacob smacked my forehead, waking me from the trance I always enter when I read. "Some girl is on the phone doofus.." I was confused until I remembered ashlynn and that I had given her my phone number Wednesday. I jumped up and grabbed the phone from Jacob.
"Oh hi Luke....was that you're brother that answered?" She asks. I sigh "yes...the idiot that went in my room and touched my stuff without at least telling me..is my brother..."
She laughs "peter has been blasting all the songs that you recommended through his speakers all week...its kinda annoying" she says. I had found out that they were twins only yesterday.....it was kinda awkward because I initially thought that they were a couple.
I laugh and say "yeah....sorry about that..."

I find that when I'm happiest everyone else is sad and hateful. Mom and dad had got in a fight. My parents never fight, so when I hear yelling and cussing from upstairs Im genuinely surprised.
From the bits that I could gather, dad had got drunk and for some reason, accused mom of cheating. This went on and on all day, until I droned it out with my music. Soon it was 6:45 pm and there was still yelling. I sigh wondering if I should make myself sad so others could be happy....
