Um...ok i guees I'll start with names. Hi my name is Kyle Druns, I'm a sixteen year old living in Florida with my cute little seven year old sis, Kayla. We don't have parents and we don't live with relatives. I take care of my baby sis all by myself. We get sent $1000 dollars a month from my very rich grandparents in California. I may not be the smartest guy in school but, I'm the very well known star of the football team. How i look...? Well i have black hair and blue eyes. I perfer wearing dark colors, it makes my eyes stand out. I don't have a girlfriend surprisingly even though i am so popular with everyone. I have what most would think an easy life and you would be right. The only part of my life that i wish i could change would be my eleventh birthday. If only i could turn back time to that day...

"Kayla! I finished the shop.....ping?"
I turned a complete circle around myself. "Kayla? Where are you?" I didn't see her anywhere. She was supposed to wait by the door while i checked out.
I walked outside to see if she might of stepped out for a bit. She wasn't there. I was just about to pull out my cell phone and call 911 when i heard scuffling somewhere. I peeked my head around the side of the store and into the back alley. I saw her sitting on the ground.
"Kayla! There you are! Don't run off like that! You scared me!" I said as i ran towards her. It was then i saw she had bruises and could tell she had been crying. There was a guy trying to stand up a few feet away. He was wobbling from side to side and looked like he was about to puke.
I looked from my crying sister to the dude. Then it all made sense. I boiled over with anger. This guy was a drunk idiot and had beat up my sweet angel! "You asshole!"
I ran up and punched him in the stomach really hard. He coughed and fell to his knees. "What the hell?!" He cursed.
I punched him again. "You beat up my sister! What the fuck is wrong with you?!" I was so mad all i saw was red.
"No! Stop it! Kyle, stop!" I heard my sister yell at me. I paused and turned to look at her.
"Don't hurt him! Please! He saved me!" She was crying again.
I frowned. "But, isn't this the guy who hurt you?"
She shook her head. "No, it was a bunch of mean boys and he came to help me." She pleaded with her eyes.
I looked down at him. He was laying on his side and groaning. I realized my mistake and dropped my fists. I crouched down to his level and asked, "Sorry. Are you ok?"
He glared at me. "Do i look ok?! You just punched the life out of me!"
I glared right back. I already hated this guy. "I said i was sorry! I thought you were the one who beat up my sis!"
"Well, maybe you should ask before you go punching the shit out of someone next time!"
"What was i supposed to do, say 'hey were you the one who hit my sister?'?!" I said it in a really dorky voice.
"You could have asked her!" He pointed at Kayla.
I stood up. "Whatever."
I grabbed Kayla's hand and pulled her away. "Lets go. This guy's not worth our time."
We left him there in the alley and went home. When we got there i made sure to scold my sister for leaving the store by herself.
*******
I watched as the little girl and that guy, Kyle walked away. Right before they disappeared from sight the girl turned back and mouthed, 'Thank you'. I smiled and waved. She was cute. Unlike her brother.
Jerk.
I stood up painfully and walked out of the alley holding my side. I headed for the Dollar Tree to get some more hair dye. It was about time to refresh.
*******
I pulled myself inaide my bedroom window nimbly and closed it quietly so, as not to wake my sister. My Aunt was alreayd gone and i knew she would have put Macey to bed before leaving.
I changed into my sweatpants and a t-shirt and sat down on my bed. I winced as my side twitched with pain. I sighed. I was used to having bruises and pain from fighting all the time but, that guy was strong and i didn't get to block it even slightly. He looked kind of familiar though. I frowned and leaned back against the wall.
Who was that guy?
After a minute i shook my head. It was useless to think too much about it. I would probably never see him again anyways. I stood up amd left my room, i was headed for the fridge. A teenage boy can work up an appetite running and fighting like that.
I peeked inside and saw to my satisfaction that my Aunt had left the cake here. I pulled it out and cut a piece for myself. I was just about to take a bite when i heard a sweet, childish voice behind me. "Whacha eating?"
I dropped my fork on my plate and hid my cake behind my back. "Nothing! Shouldn't you be in bed already?!" I am a horrible lier.
She raised her eyebrows. "Yeah. And it doesn't look like nothing." She tried to peek behind me. I sighed and smiled. "Don't you dare tell Auntie that i let you have cake at thia hour. She will kill me."
She looked excited. "Ok! I promise i won't tell her!"
I chuckled as i brought the cake out and cut her a piece aswell. "Here you go. Don't get it on your pajamas."
She nodded. "I won't!" Then we both sat down at the table to eat. I took a bite and moaned. Strawberry was my all time favorite flavor cake. "Oh, my god. This is heaven."
Macey giggled. "Your so weird."
I just smiled sweetly.
Then she asked, "So where were you earlier? You weren't here when Auntie left."
I shrugged. "Just hanging around town. I got some more hair dye." I pulled it out of my back pocket.
"Why do you always get blue? Yiu should get something else for a change, like pink or purple!"
I rolled my eyes. "I am not wearing pink hair dye! Thats for girls to wear. You can wear that color all you want when you get to my age but, i will not."
She frowned. "Lots of guys wear pink. Its not just a girl color."
"Like what guys?"
"I know someone from my class that does."
I gave her an incredulous look. "Your serious?!"
She nodded.
"But, you guys are too young to wear hair dye!"
She shook her head. "Its not hair dye. Its a bracelet he got for chronic from his grandparents."
I scoffed. "That is not the same thing! Boys can wear pink bracelets but, not hair dye!"
She frowned. "Says who?"
"Me."
"You don't control the world!"
"Maybe not, but i do control my world and in my world little girls who tell me to wear pink hair dye get tickled!" I jumped up from my seat and picked her up. I began to tickle her sides and she burst out laughing, squirming around in my arms to try to escape.
"Haha...st-stop! Oh, god! Stop! Kayson...hehe! Cut it...haha...out!" She was screaming he giggles so loud i was sure the neighbors could hear her. I finally let her down and she breathed in and out to calm down.
I waited for her to stand before i picked her up again and threw her over my shoulder. "Time for bed, munchie!"
She laughed as i went upstairs and put her in her bed. She smiled up at me. "Good night, Kayson."
"Good night, Macey. Sleep good." I kissed her forehead before turning her light out and leaving the room.
I went to my own room and got into bed. I turned my bedside light off and rolled over. I fell asleep almost immediately. I usually sleep peacefully but, that night was different. I woke up several times from nightmares about my parents deaths. Each time i cried myself back to sleep, only to wake up again to the same dream.
