I walked in from school and threw my bag onto the table before going into the kitchen to start dinner. I always made dinner on Friday nights but I just couldn't be bothered with it tonight. I'd had a really bad day at school with a mock exam in maths and then Selena's break down at lunch because Cody broke up with her. I love her but sometimes her boy addiction in way over the top. She says I wouldn't understand because I've never even kissed a boy before.
I was just taking out the chicken when my dad walked into the kitchen,
"Hi Miley, you have a good day at school?"
"Not really…"
"Oh, well I have some good news!"
"Mum called?" I don't know why this thought ever even popped into my mind. My mother left me and my dad when I was just three years old. She said she wanted to travel the world and having a husband and a little girl just got in the way of her dreams. She never even called. I'm not mad at her though. I never was. I've always just been thankful that she brought me into this world before she decided she didn't want to.
"No, sweetheart… do you remember that I told you I had met someone?" he asked nervously.
"That woman? Denise?"
"Yes, um, well, I know I should have probably told you this before but, err, you know how we have an extra bedroom and…"
"Just say it, dad."
"Denise and her sons are moving in…" he trailed off
"What?" I asked in shock
"Well, you see, Nick, Joe and Kevin have always shared a room but Kevin's at university now and Nick and Joe will be sharing the spare room…"
I stared at my father before asking, "When is this going to be happening?"
"They will be here in an hour"
I didn't know what to say so I left the chicken on the counter-top and ran up to my room. I slammed my door shut and looked around my room; double bed with a pink spread, pink and white walls, fluffy white carpet, my white closet, my pink laptop and my white TV; my space, my life. I wasn't ready for change. At least I would be keeping my room. My pink and white paradise.
I took my diary out from under my bed and began to write,
Friday 3rd May 2013
Dear diary,
I was just casually making dinner like I do every Friday when all of a sudden dad sprung the news! His 'girlfriend' and two of her sons would be moving in with us! And what do I get? An hours notice! An hour! I feel so neglected and left out of the loop… everything is going to change…
An hour later
There was a knock on the door before my dad shouted up the stairs,
"Miley, could you come downstairs please?"
I didn't see any point in arguing so I reluctantly went downstairs to meet my soon to be brothers.
"Hiiiiiiiii! I'm Joe!" a tall boy with dark hair practically yelled at me before squeezing me in a hug.
"Hey Joe, I'm Miley" I said hugging him back and laughing.
"You wouldn't believe Joe's seventeen would you Miley?" a woman who I guessed was Denise said laughing.
Really, Joe was two years older than me and he acted like such an excitable puppy? Though, I suppose I get all hyper like that when I'm out my girlies; Selena and Demi because we really do, do some crazy stuff but I can say I've never been a hyper mess when meeting someone for the first time. I liked Joe already.
"Hi Miley, I'm Nick" a boy with curly hair and just an inch or so shorter than Joe smiled at me. Woah, he was cute! But, he was also going to be my brother…
"Hey!" I smiled and pulled him into a hug also.
This was going to be an interesting adjustment.
