"ARRRRRRHHHH! FINN!" I screamed at the top of my lungs while my brother rubbed his hand hard and fast across the top of my head saying "Nugie nugie nugie nugie nugie"
As soon as I got my hand under his armpit, I judo flipped him onto the hard wood floor of our living room, conjured the water from the vase on the coffee table, threw it in his face and then I started running before he could even start to scream my name. I raced up the stairs, slammed my bedroom door and turned the lock as fast as I could. Seconds later Finn was pounding on the door screaming my name.
I waited until he calmed down and left. Phewww I could've died. I opened my bedroom door and walked downstairs into the kitchen where my mom was cooking dinner.
"Selena, hunny, come have a seat," she said warmly to me "I heard you and your brother fighting earlier, then I saw the spilt water from the vase on the floor... Nice move, sweetheart."
"Aw thanks, mom, but hey what can I say dad is an awesome teacher. Anyways, watcha cooking?"
"We are having breakfast for dinner tonight, so of course we'll have some blue pancakes; you know dad's favorite," She smiled as if the thought of making dad happy made her the most delighted person in existence. I only wished I could have a relationship like my parents' one day, they're so perfect. She looked up from her hard concentration of flipping the blue pancakes "Also Piper and Jason are coming over tonight for din-"
"Aw dam mom! Are you serious? Is Aaron coming?" She looked at me with her disapproving gray eyes which she has passed on down to me along with all her other features besides her blonde hair, I'm a brunette.
"Dinner and yes he is coming. And I think you need to give him a chance he is not as bad as you think he is, hunny. He is a very nice, young boy."
"Mom! You were not there during capture the flag, you wouldn't understand!" I gritted my teeth, groaned really loud and made my way back to my room to get changed out of my sweats and into some suitable clothing. I stomped up the stairs making every step more dignified and louder than the last. I couldn't believe my mom invited them she knew what happened last month during capture the flag! Aaron and I were supposed to be on the same team, we are both a part of the Fifth Cohort, but that did not stop him from cutting me off, grabbing the flag for himself and bringing it to the other side. Aaron then had the mind to go and act like nothing happen, and I wasn't going to swallow my pride and let it go just so my mom could hang out with her good friend, Piper, more often, she says I get my pride problems from her like almost everything else.
However, one thing I'm sure we don't share in common is liking that boy.
