8:30 pm, Jimmy's house
"Jimmy, I'm coming back home sometime tonight, okay?"
"Wow that's great! I can't wait for you to get here!"
"I'll be home soon, I love you"
"I love you too, see you when you get here, sis"
"Ok bye"
"Bye"
Jimmy hung up the phone and walked over to the couch and sat down
"Who was it?"
"It was my little sister, Maria, she's coming back home tonight"
"Really?! That means that she can help me with my algebra, again"
"Man I can't believe it's been 6 years already, since she had to leave for college"
"But I always thought that you thought that she was a big pain in the neck"
"Yeah, well it wasn't easy to accept that your little sister's a genius, and I hated having to get school help from her, but still she's my sister and I guess I'm stuck with her. Plus it's kind of quiet without her around. She's always up before me, and goes to bed after me. I actually looked forward to her summarizing the newspaper for me, it didn't take me as long to read it."
"Wow, I didn't know that having a sister or brother would be that complicated"
"It can be at times, but it's worth it"
"What ever you say Jimmy"
"Yeah"
"Well I got to go, see you tomorrow"
"Okay"
Rachel got up from the couch and walked out the door, closing it behind her. Jimmy picked up the remote and sat down, looking for a channel to watch.
10:30 pm Jimmy's house
Jimmy was watching a horror movie, and pretending to be the victim, when the door opened slowly.
"Who's there?" Jimmy whispered.
The door closed and a strange figure walked up behind Jimmy
"Now the monster's going to come out"
The figure behind Jimmy screamed just as the monster came out
"AAAAHHHHH, MONSTER!" Jimmy yelled and threw the blanket over his head
The figure was laughing so hard that she fell over the couch laughing
"Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, that was priceless!"
Jimmy poked his head out of the blanket and saw Maria
"That wasn't very funny, Maria"
"Ha, ha, ha, you should've seen the look on your face!"
"Ok, enough with the laughing already, take a deep breath."
Maria took a deep breath and calmed down some
"Hey guess what happens in 2 weeks"
"What?"
"Not only is it my 15th birthday, but I'm also graduating from college!"
"Really?!"
"Yep"
"That's great, what are you going to do after college?"
"Spend time with my favorite family member"
"And that would be..."
"Don't you know, it's you, Jimmy"
"Really?!"
"Of course, now let's get some shut eye, I'm tired"
"Yeah me too, let's go"
Jimmy and Maria walked up to their bedrooms and fell asleep on their beds.
