"Ew get your smelly sock out of my face." She screamed and I laughed even more.

"Are you done yet?"

"Okay, I'm done." Remi put her phone down and took a deep breath. "We need boyfriends desperately. This is not good for my sanity."

I waved my hand at her. "Not happening. I need to get out of high school first. I need someone serious and proper. These boys are just..."

"Say no more. I know exactly what you mean. Last month I had to break up with my man because he didn't get the memo he wasn't supposed to date Amber." Remi pushed her  curly hair back annoyed. "I had a very emotional time going through that breakup."

"He cheated on you. You had to move on." I confirmed.

"But I was kind of two-timing him with Jay." She sighed. "Maybe I should forgive him."

"You and Jay only shared a few glances at Bio class. Your ex-boyfriend didn't even do that. He pretended like you don't exist."

"Even my imaginary dating and my imaginary boyfriends are douchebags." Remi tapped her chest obviously heartbroken.

"Well, I on the other hand am a notorious heartbreaker. I've broken up with all my crushes after two weeks. Just two weeks."

Remi nodded. "I'm surprised they lasted two weeks. You lose interest so fast I'm sometimes surprised you even like someone."

"I guess I'll just be a career woman."

Remi laughed. "We need to go out more and meet new people. Maybe your br..."

She was about to say something when we heard a noise upstairs. Instant panic befell in the room.

"What was that?" Remi whispered and climbed on the bed with me. "Your parents are at a friend's dinner right?"

"Yes." I nodded.

"Your brothers?" She asked with her eyes hopefully glinting that I would say the answer she wanted to hear.

"Ace is at a senior party, Kai is with his friends and Rehan is well somewhere," I said calmly then we heard the noise again and Remi screamed.

I covered her mouth. "Shh."

"What about your cats?"

"They are right there!" I pointed at our three cats passed out in their cushions.

"Well someone is making noise upstairs and I'm freaking out."

"Do you think it's a thief?" I whispered.

"I'm calling the cops," Remi said and grabbed her phone when we heard the noise again only this time it was someone's voice."

"Francy! Help!" The voice was so faint, but I was sure I heard my name.

"I think it's one of my brothers." I ran up the stairs, Remi right behind me.

"Who is it?" I yelled and that's when I heard it again.

"Francy hurry.!"

I followed the call through the hallway to Ace's room and slammed the door open.

Ace was stuck in the window, his face pale, his shirt hanging upside down and he reeked of alcohol.

"Francy you came!" He grinned and then blaaah all over the floor. Remi covered her mouth in disgust and ran out of the room.

"Can I get a......bleeeeh. ..helping hand?" Ace was still stuck in the window, his head over the vomit.

I closed my eyes to calm down and contain my anger. I took a deep breath... wrong idea. I ran out of the room for some fresh air.

"Ace! Why does your vomit smell like that?" I asked covering my nose with my sleeve.
