Chapter one
I recently moved to America because my mother fell in love with Joe, my step dad. Which unfortunately means that I had to move away from England and all my friends, basically 3 people that I played video games with, to somewhere that I have no friends in a completely new area. Great isn't it?
The best part about it is that I have two new siblings, Logan, he is 17 and he is so hot, I know I know 'but he's your stepbrother', I don't care about that right now, I just have to face the fact that he's very attractive and I have to live with him.
Then there's Marie, she's 5 and is the sweetest little girl you could ever meet. Not to mention the fact that when we got here she had baked us little cookies that were shaped like houses and said that she's really excited to have a mom and another brother.
"Watch where you're going newbie!" Someone shouts as I get knocked to the ground. As you've probably noticed I am at high school right now spaced out in my own little world filled with rainbows and unicorns.
Falling in the middle of the hall and dropping all your books because you were thinking about your hot step brother probably isn't a good way to start at a new school. Sighing I pick up my textbooks and start placing them into my bag, this sure isn't how I pictured today going.
"Seriously?" A familiar voice sighs as he helps me up from the cold floor and I sling my backpack onto my shoulder. At least I know one person here, not that it's much to brag about or anything.
"Come on guys! He's new, so what?" Logan shouts to the people by their lockers who are quite obviously laughing at my situation. "Dude! Are you okay?" He asks with a worried expression.
I reach up and touch the warm liquid that is slowly dripping from my nose, obviously I had to have a nosebleed. Fantastic. "Y-yeah, thanks." I mumble as I walk past Logan, it becomes harder to walk through the sea of people but I make it to the boys toilets in time for them to be empty.
Sighing I place my bag on the side by the sinks and run my hand through my short brown hair.
Looking into the mirror I see the door open to reveal Logan. He has straight black 'emo' hair and green eyes. Where as I have dark brown eyes and fairly light brown hair. He walks over to me as he drops his bag next to mine, I spin around so that I'm looking at him directly.
"Let me see." He orders as he puts two fingers under my chin to make me look up. Once he's inspected my nose he mumbles something I can't hear and goes over to a stall pulling some tissues from the dispensers.
"I'm fine, I promise." Sighing I turn back to the mirror and flip the tap on, the water is cold as it runs through my fingers.
"You're not though are you." He mumbles in frustration as he pulls me back round to face him. "You shouldn't let them bully you like that, it's your first day and you are already getting picked on." He sighs as he wipes the blood up with the tissue.
"So?" I say as though I couldn't care less. "Everyone gets bullied at some point."
"I wasn't. But seriously Evan you've only been here 3 days, try to make at least one friend today?" He asks washing his hands.
I pick my bag back up and laugh. "Fine, but I'm not promising anything." I walk out of the toilets into a swarm of people and down the corridor until I find my locker. Pulling out a piece of paper from my hoodie I read the combination to open the locker.
After trying the code five times I decide to try it once more and if that doesn't wo-
"Need help with that?" Looking to the side to see a girl with blonde hair and blue eyes. I nod thankfully.
"Yes please." I giggle as I move to the side passing her the combination.
She puts in the numbers once. Once! And it pops open just like that.
"It's okay, I know that it's hard to get use to. But just to let you know once you've put the combination in you press the middle and it will open." Laughing she hands the paper back.
"Thanks." I chuckle looking at her. She is wearing ripped jeans and a plain white top with a cream knitted jacket.
"You're the new guy aren't you?" She asks. I nod to confirm. "You're the lucky guy who got to be Logan Harris's step brother?" I nod again. "That's what everyone else would ask, but I just see him as another one of the guys that play football. By the way I'm Katie." She says extending her arm for me to shake her hand.
"Evan." I reply as I take her hand, her skin is soft and she seems like a really bubbly person, this could work. "He plays football?" I ask.
"Yep, he is second in charge of the team here. Every girl wants to be with him, except me. But he is dating Shannon, she is that one girl that everyone hates, but because she's with Logan no one can say anything." She laughs as I put my books into my locker and shut it.
"He has a girlfriend?" Crap.
"Yeah, you sound disappointed." She looks confused. What do I say?
"I'm not disappointed, I was just curious." Good save Evan, she smiles but I can still see a glimmer of curiosity in her eyes.
"Oh, okay. Hey, you wanna come to the canteen with me?"
"Sure." I mumble as she grabs my wrist and pulls me towards the canteen. Just before we get into the canteen Katie stops and walks towards Logan. I sigh and look up to the grey ceiling.
"Logan." She shouts over to him still holding onto my wrist so that I can't go anywhere. Looking back down I see we are stood in front of a large group of jocks and cheerleaders and within that mix I spot Logan and a short girl with black hair.
"Logan!" Katie shouts again this time grabbing his attention.
I hear him saying excuse me a couple of times as he rushes through the crowd pulling the girl along who I assume is Shannon.
"Assumption confirmed." I sigh under my breath when he gets here and Shannon hugs him as though he was about to disappear from the face of the earth.
"Hey." He laughs hugging her back, "I see you made a friend then Evan?" He questions.
"Y-" I start to speak but Katie interrupts me.
"Yep." She giggles popping the 'P'. "Is it true that you're having a party tonight?"
Party? I can tell he notices my confused expression because he starts to explain.
"Yeah, I thought I'd throw a surprise party to welcome Evan to America. Don't worry I checked with mum and dad and they said its fine."
That explains why I didn't know about it.
"Opps! Sorry." Katie laughs nervously.
"It's fine." Logan replies pushing her playfully.
"Um and you didn't invite me!?" Shannon shouts furiously pushing away from Logan.
"Uh yeah, incase you didn't notice everyone has been talking about it all day." He says looking her in the eye. As I notice people starting to look over I hear a collected group of gasps coming from everywhere.
I look over to see how Katie is reacting and I see that she is trying to hide the fact that she is laughing inside.
This can't be good.
"Let's go." I mumble looking at Katie.
"No, this is funny." She objects.
"I'm going." I say pushing past everyone heading into the canteen.
The canteen is practically empty, everyone must be outside seeing as it's really nice weather and the autumn colours are gorgeous. I go over to the sandwiches and grab a tuna mayo one.
"Here" I mumble handing the dinner lady some money. "Thanks."
Going over to a table in the corner I sit down and pull my phone out. No texts and no calls. I feel so loved.
After I eat my lunch the bell goes signaling for me to go to last lesson.
"Logan!" I shout across the football field heading towards him. Logan is wearing his football uniform and god does he look perfect.
Seeing me he jogs over and I stop when he gets to me.
"Hey, I didn't see you after the argument at lunch, where did you go?" He asks.
"I went to the canteen to eat, I felt like I was invading in your personal life." I reply sighing.
"You weren't invading anything, you're family." Logan laughs as he pushes his fringe out of his eyes. Other than now I've only see his eyes properly a couple of times and every time I do I lose my thoughts.
"Evan?" He asks warily. "Do I have something on my face?"
As he touches his face I laugh. "No, don't worry. Um I was going to ask if you could bring me home but don't worry if you have practice."
"Sorry dude, here's $5 for the bus though. That's if you wanna go home now." He smiles handing me the money.
"Thanks, but I have some money." I giggle pushing his hand back to him.
"Oh okay, th-"
"Logan! Stop talking to your baby brother and get over here!" A guy in football uniform shouts over angrily.
"See ya." I say turning around to walk away but I feel a soft hand grab my wrist.
"Dude, I can skip today. There's nothing to do anyway." Logan explains.
Shaking my head I reply softly "It's fine, really. I will find a way home."
Letting his hand fall back to his side he nods and says goodbye walking in the opposite direction.
Sighing I turn back around and walk through the school to my locker.
Opening it, successfully this time, I pull my books out and put them in my bag. Before I could shut it I feel someone's hand on my shoulder. As I freeze they shut my locker. Turning slowly around I realize it's Logan.
Letting out a sigh of relief I frown.
"What?" He asks opening his eyes wide.
"You scared me." I sigh again.
"Oh." He mumbles. "Sorry, I didn't mean to." He apologizes pulling me into a tight hug.
No! He is my unofficial stepbrother. It can never happen Evan! Stop thinking like that!
Hugging him back I sigh out loud unintentionally. Why do I find it so hard to hide my emotions?
Pulling away I realize that Logan is meant to be at football practice.
"What?!" He shouts sounding fed up.
"You are meant to be at football practice Logan." I say bluntly.
"So what if I wanted to give my little bro a ride home? Am I that bad of a guy?" He asks putting his hand to his heart looking hurt.
"No you're not a bad guy but I told you that I will be fine." I chuckle giving him a reassuring smile.
"What if I'm not fine?" He mumbles taking my hand and pulls me down the hall. His hands are so soft. Yes I know I've said that already but come on, cut me some slack.
Basically my stepbrother is hot as f***.
