Chapter 2
(Gracie's POV)
I woke up the next morning exausted from staying up so late finishing homework. I looked at the clock it was six and I was tempted to go back to sleep. I stretched and got up going to look at myself. Damn I looked like death! I quickly jumped in the shower washing my hair. I got out and my brother wasn't even up yet.
"Get up, it's 6:30 and you haven't even gotten your stuff together." I said as I tried to move him to wake him up. He didn't say anything just moaned and rolled over off the bed as I got up to go back to the bathroom. I dried my hair and striaghtened it, add some make up, and went to my closet. I have no idea what I'm going to wear. I pulled out mini skirt and a cami with a white low cut shirt I was going to wear over it. I grabbed all my stuff and put it in my bag and threw it on my shoulder heading to the kitchen. We had a few minutes before we had to leave so I decided to get some breakfast. I looked in my brothers room before going to the kitchen and he was still laying on the floor. What the hell? We're going to be so late!
"Brad get up! You only have a few minutes before have to leave." I said in a much harder voice now. I couldn't be late to class that's just not how I worked. He slowly got up and I looked at him. He had bruises and red marks on his chest and a few marks and scratches on his face too. I looked at his chest curiously, I couldn't tell if it was the way he slept or if he had gone out last night and got in a fight. I put my hand on the top of his chest stopping him from going anywhere.
"What's that from?" I said as I rubbed my fingure of the mark and he flinched still half asleep.
"Mmmmh, I just had a rough night." He mumbled not really interested in talking. I had already figured he got in a fight with someone.
"Who?" I said sternly not wanting to play games. He looked at me a little shocked that I knew he had got himself into trouble.
"Dad came home late. I guess he had a hard day and took it out on me." He said uncomfortably rubbing his hands over his face. I had often seen my dad yelling at him or hitting him but I never payed much attention. I was to afraid of getting hurt myself. It really made me mad at times to see the way he treated us when he had a bad day. He walked past me going to the sink to wash his face. I walked to the kitchen a little worried there had been more to it then just a few hits. I grabbed my stuff and went out to the car, I wasn't really hungry anymore after thinking of what might have happened last night.
Brad came out a few minutes later, he didn't have the tired look on his face anymore and as always he look like he had spent hours on his looks.
"Don't make me beat anybody else up today." He joked as he walked over to the car. He always made me feel like I looked overdressed or so much better than everyone else. I looked down to see what the hell he was talking about but I just didn't see what he was talking about.
"Yeah because that's my goal, I'm going to try every day to see who I can get you in a fight with." I replied sarcastically rolling my eyes. He cranked the car and sat there for a minute thinking. I couldn't tell if something was bothering him though. He had this deep look in his eyes staring straight ahead. I turned to see if he was looking at something but there wasn't anything there.
"Uhh Brad?"
"Mmmh, yea sorry. Ha you know I'm going to get in a shit load of trouble for what happened yesterday." He said grinning and backing out of the driveway. I laughed he was playing back the memory from yesterday. I really didn't need to get him in anymore trouble today.
(Brad's POV)
Damn I'm so dead. It was only my first day and I got in a fight. I knew I was going to have a tough time here trying to keep the guys off my sister. She's like a guy magnet. It's not very suprising though she is gorgious. As many girls as I've seen or dated none of them even compare to my sister. Though I don't look at her that way at all. I shuddered at the thought of dating my own sister. The sad thing was she didn't even see it, she didn't realize how beautiful she was. I turned and looked at her she was looking around as we drove down the street. We drove up to the school and there was a crowd of anxious guys waiting for her. Damn it!
I turned to look at her and she didn't even notice all the guys staring at her. I got out of the car and went around front hoping she was come over to my side before any guys tried to make a move on her. I couldn't keep getting in fights like this or I won't be able to get on the football team. I thought as I waited for her to grab all her stuff. How much crap does one girl need?
"Damn it, Gracie come on!" I said annoied with all these sex driven guys. I could pop everyone of them in the mouth for looking at her the way they did. Their eyes all bugged out and their mouth dropped so low I'm suprised they didn't have a fly go in there. She looked at me annoied, grabbing the last of her things and shutting the door. She came to my side and I moved so I was in between her and the guys drooling on themselves.
"Why are you so freaked out?" She asked looking at me like I was stupid. I pulled her to the side.
"I know you don't see it and I don't know how you don't but Gracie, you're absolutly gorgious. I've never seen any girl so beautiful and to be able to call you my sister is a privilege. I just don't want to see you get hurt." I said honestly. I didn't know how else I could explain it and I know she didn't want to hear every guy over there wanted to fuck the shit out of her.
"Wow someones lost their mind today." She said laughing and slapping my shoulder like I was kidding.
"I'm serious! How do you not see it?" I asked sincerely.
"See what?" Gracie replied with a look on her face as if she had no idea what I was talking about. I sighed and put my arm around her shoulder, I didn't know what else to say and I didn't know how to make her see it. We walked up to the building and a few guys were waiting there next to the kid I beat up yesterday. He looked pretty bad his face was swollen and black and blue and he had a bandage over his nose. He looked mad as hell but I most deffinitly wasn't worried. All the guys were much smaller than me, I knew I was built up but they were a little smaller than average. Gracie didn't even looked like she cared they were there. She could kick their ass and I knew it. She probably didn't want people to know how strong she was though. She often but on this little act of how weak and helpless she was but I knew for a fact it was all a bunch of bull shit.
"Look my baby came back to see me." The guy I beat up said with a small grin on his face.
"Look who's got a big ass ugly face and still thinks he is sexy." Gracie said with a smirk. I couldn't help but laugh at how pissed she was coming off to be. He looked a little shocked that she said that, unfortunitly it was no suprise for me. He got up and came towards her. I stood up more straight making myself look a lot bigger.
"Awww baby you don't have to act like that because your brother is here. I bet he will understand the love we have for each other." He said sweetly and rubbing his hand down the side of her face. I knew she wouldn't fall for that fake act. She grabbed his hand a bent it back looking like it was impossible for his arm to even be able to move that way. He groaned in pain.
"Awww mother fucker aren't you cute when you try and act like I would give you a lick of my time." She said smirking letting go of his arm and walking off. I followed behind her still laughing so hard my sides were staring to hurt.
(Gracie's POV)
I strutted to my locker silently laughing at myself. I knew I was mean and I knew I would beat the shit out of them if they came near me again, but to see the shock of his face was priceless. I really hope I hurt him and left a mark. I went to my locker to see the girls by my locker looking a little shocked.
"What?" I said looking at each of their faces trying to figure out what had them in such a surpise.
"I saw what your brother did to Hunters face. Ha he probably deserved it! What did he do? Tell me everything!" Megan said eager to find out the details. I told her and the other girls. Megan seemed kind of interested in Hunter but trying to hide it. The other two girls acted as if they hated him the way they turned their nose up and glared at me as I explained what happened.
It was lunch and the girls and I decided to eat outside sense it was such a nice day. When we went outside to sit I saw that guy I saw in the hallway before I dropped my book on my foot. Megan caught my gaze and grinned.
"You like him ehh?" She said laughing. She caught me off guard and I wasn't sure what to say. I didn't even know the guy I had only seen him yesterday. For goodness sake I didn't even know his name.
"Uhh no. I dont even know him. What's his name?" I asked still staring at him. I still couldn't take my eyes off him. It was slightly embarrassing and I didn't want to make it obvious I was checking him out.
"That's Jake. He's a cutie, isn't he?" She said smiling and winking at me.
"Ohhh yeah! I saw him in a few of our classes." I said I could feel my face getting red. I looked over at the other two girls to see if they had an opinion of him. They were very easy to read. Stacey didn't seem like she cared much but Jade was giving me the evil eye. She obviously liked him but was to afraid to say anything. I had a feeling I was going to have a tough time with Jade. Although she was friendly to me her body language showed she really didn't like me at all. I didn't bother pointing out the way she was acting about the subject of Jake. Luckily the bell rang and broke the akward silence that had come off after I said he was cute.
Describing Jake as cute was like saying my brother was ugly. Jake was better looking than Brad and everything about him made him seem even more unreal. The way he walked was just so sexy and he didn't even pay attention to anyone else as he walked and joked with his friends. It was like no one else was even there. Everytime I looked at him a saw a new detail I hadn't seen before, like his dimples when he smiled. He had all my attention through my last classes and I had no idea what the teacher was saying. Shit this is going to make it much harder to do homework! I was already trying to catch up with everything that they were doing and now I'm not even paying attention in class.
The bell rang and snapped me out of my train of thought. I grabbed my stuff and went to my locker hoping I wouldn't see Hunter. When I was walking to my locker I saw Megan flirting with Hunter but he didn't seem nearly as interested in her as she was in him. He saw me out of the corner of his eye and started to walk over but Megan grabbed him and pulled him back to her. Oh thank god! I rush to throw my stuff in my bag. I shut my locker and walked outside to see a blond headed girl sitting on the front of my brothers car with him. She rubbed her hand up and down his chest talking to him and he was trying to make out a smile but everytime she ran her hand over one of his bruises he would flinch. Ugh! It's only been a day and he has already managed to have a girl, if not more, fall for him. He saw me and stood up. I laughed at his embarrassment and the girl looked at me a little confussed. I guess she was trying to decide if I was his girlfriend or not. I walked over to them and smiled.
"Hey I'm Gracie, Brad's sister." I said trying to clear the air. I could tell she let out a sigh of releaf and held her hand out to me.
"I'm Becka, Nice to meet you." She said taking her eyes back to my brother.
"Any more trouble today?" Brad asked raising an eyebrow suspiciously.
" Nah I got it undercontrol big bro. Did you get called to the office for what you did to Hunters face?" I said laughing as I put my stuff in the car.
"No, I'm guessing no one said anything. Thank god! I can't get in to much trouble or I won't be able to play football." He said shrugging and turning back to Becka. I got in the car and waited as they started sucking face. Wow this is so embarrassing and yet they don't even care that I'm right here. I honked the horn trying to get Brad's attention. They both jumped and I started cracking up laughing. My brother gave me the evil eye and it only made me laugh even harder. They kissed again before he came around to the drivers side. He looked at me a tried to give me that "I'm pissed at you look" but I could tell he was faking it and I kept laughing.
"I'm glad you think that's funny, but I'll remember that when you have a boyfriend." He sneared and looked at me and started laughing. He always had trouble keeping a straight face when I laughed.
"Yeah yeah, just drive Mr. Popular." I said through my laughter. He started the car and waited for people to get out of the way so we could leave. When he was about to pull out there was a tap at his window. He rolled down the window and the guy bent down to see Brad better.
"Hey man!" Brad said and they slapped hands. I looked the guy and blushed I couldn't completely see him but I was pretty sure that it was Jake. The guy bent down more and looked at me.
"Hey bud, who's that?" He said nodding towards me.
"That's my sister, Gracie she's a sophmore. Gracie, this is my buddy Nick." Brad said waving his hand introducing us. Okay, so it's not Jake but this guy looks so much like him it's crazy. I realized they were waiting for me to say something.
"Oh sorry! Hey Nick, it's nice to meet you." I said a little embarrassed that I had just sat there like that. He put his hand out to shake mine and I leaned over my brother and shook his hand. I could tell he was muscular by the way he shook my hand. Damn!
"Hey babe, you're beautiful. You might know my brother he's a sophmore too. Jake?" I was blushing at his comment to me and then realized why I had mistaken him for Jake. God they were gorgious! Gracie say something!!
"Errr thanks and yeah I think I've seen him before." I tried not to sound to obvious I knew if I said anything else Nick would tell Jake and he would think I was a stalker. Jake hadn't even noticed me yet so for me to know who he was was probably weird. I looked away trying to hide my flush face. I listened as they began to talk about something else. The last thing I heard before Brad pulled out was "Yeah, let me drop her off at home first and I'll be there man." I looked at him as he rolled up the window and drove off.
"How come I can't go?" I asked looking at him. I really didn't know where he was going but I didn't really care I wanted to do something other than sit home a do my homeowrk.
"Babe you don't want to go watch us play football for two hours and I know that. No one you know will be there watching us." He said looking at me apologetically. I knew he really did mean it because he only called me "babe" when he felt bad or tried to make me feel better. Plus he was right I didn't want to go watch a bunch of guys play football who weren't even in my grade let alone sit there by myself. He was always thinking of me though It was part of him that made it so easy for us to be friends even though he was my brother. I put on a little smile for him and agreed while he drove me home then took off to go play football with his new friends.
