Being in High School is not always easy. But finishing it is not something I can imagine. I mean where do I go after High School? There are too many choices. To many places I want to see. Being in High School is safe. It might not be what I wanted it to be. But I wake up everyday go to school and learn. It has a point, but after high school my life has no direction, no one telling me what to do. I know now, that I have to go to school. When that's gone what do I have?

I know High school is not always a great place to be, people talk about you behind your back, they make fun of you, people do whatever to you and you want High School to end so badly it hurts. But wouldn't life hurt too, when there's no map to show you what direction to go. I mean you walk right then you fall, you walk left and stumble and when you take a step back you look around and wonder where you are.

I hear footsteps coming to my door. They come closer and closer and then the door slowly opens and my sister at 8 peek her head in. "What you doing?" I ask, and she smiles at me.

"Mom told me to tell you dinner's ready." she says and smiles again.

"Why are you smiling like that?" It's really beginning to creep me out.

"Mom invited guests."

I give her a suspicious look. "Who?"

She just stares at me and leaves. Which makes me go after her. "Issy I asked you something."

She just looks back and gives me a grin. She is always like this. Only a few words come out of her. And then you pretty much have to guess everything else yourself. When I come downstairs everything makes sense.

"OMG BONNIE!" I run over to hug my best friend Bonnie who I haven't seen in what feels like forever. "What are you doing here?" I ask all taken away.

"Well you know how my dad lost his job. And so your dad offered him one in his company."

"So you are going to live here?" I ask, not really paying much attention to what she says.

She nods and gives me a smile. "I start school tomorrow with you." I smile at her and look at Issy. "Why didn't you tell me?"

"Mom said I should surprise you.," she tells me and smiles widely.

Bonnie giggles and looks at me. "She really is the cutest." She says and Issy smiles even wider.

Mom walks over and tells us dinners ready. I then realize that Bonnie didn't come here alone. Her whole family is here. Dinner is fun like always when we are all together Bonnie's father is telling one joke after the other which make us all laugh.

I whisper to Bonnie and ask if she's nervous about tomorrow. She shakes her head. "No, not really."

That night. Daniella my 18-year-old sister walks in to my room and bumps down on my bed. "Dani what are you doing here?"

"Just wondering how you were doing?"

"Leave me alone."

"Why are you texting, a cute guy?" She smirks and I give her an evil stare.

I don't hate any of my sisters, but sometimes they are really annoying. I look at Daniella and shake my head.

"Aww are you too cool to even talk to me?" She laughs and pinches me in the side.

"Ouch. What the hell what that for? Leave my room." I point at the door.

"I want to talk to you, but you are ignoring me."

"That's because you are being a pain in the ass!"

Issy peeks in her head and walks over to my bed. "Whatcha doing?"

"Gabby has a boyfriend." Daniella smiles.

"I do not!"

"Is he cute?" Issy asks and smiles at Dani.

I shake my head. "You two suck! I don't have a boyfriend, and not that it's any of your business but I was texting Bonnie."

Sisters can really be a pain in the ass. It's like they are either your worst enemy or your best friend. They'll tell you if you look like an idiot, or you say something stupid or whatever, and they can really make your life miserable but they are always there for you no matter what, no matter how bad you treat them they'll always find a way to forgive you. Sisters stay the same always, unlike friends who can come and go. They'll be there for you when you need them. Right now though I really wish they would just leave me alone.

I roll my eyes and turn my back to them.

"I think we upset her." Issy says to Daniella.

"Yeah me too, what are we going to do Isabella?"

Yeah I know, Isabella, Daniella and Gabriella. My mom has something for the name Ella. I don't know why though, but she thinks it's really pretty and apparently we had to pay for that. I don't hate my name though I just don't really like the Ella part in any of our names. That's why Daniella is Dani (which is not really any better, considering Dani being a boy's name), Isabella is Issy and me I'm Gabby, Brie, Gabs, Bee or anything that doesn't include Ella. Apparently my name means "strength of God" so I suppose that's a good thing in some way. Isabella means, "Devoted to God" and Daniella means "God is my judge". Not sure what to do with these meanings, but I guess since we all have Ella in our name, all of us has some connection to God. But since my name has origin from Gabriel, which were the name of an angel in the Bible. I guess my name is really positive.

Eventually I get both of them kicked out of my room. It's almost like Dani miss being 16 and Issy can't wait to turn 16, so therefore they have to make my life miserable.
