"Bubbles,dear... We're moving!"
I can still remember those words like it was yesterday. But it wasn't,was it?
No,that happened almost ten years ago.
I stared at my tired self in the bathroom mirror,and let out an unattractive yawn,scratching my butt in the process.
"Wow,that's attractive." Brick commented,pushing me to the side.
"Hey! I need to brush my teeth!" I yelled as I tried to grab the toothpaste from him,which was pointless since he was at least a foot taller than me.
Brick and I had become siblings ten years ago,when my mom had married his dad.
I can still remember everything that happened that night.
"Wow,you have a pretty daughter,Mr JoJo!" I exclaimed as I stared at an old family photo. A pretty girl about my age stood in the middle,her hair tied in a loose ponytail.
Mr JoJo looked confused for a second,before bursting out into laughter. He knelt down to look me right in the eye. "Bubbles,that's not a girl. That's Brick."
My mouth made an 'o' shape as a little boy walked down the stairs,an angry look on his face.
He glared at me and I looked down,absolutely terrified.
I heard him chuckle. "So,you're my new sister? You're ugly." He said before heading up the stairs again.
I doubt I've ever cried as hard as I did in that moment.
A small smile came to my face,and Brick hit the side of my head. Hard.
"Ouch! What was that for?" I glared at him. He shrugged. "You're spacing out." He turned to head out the bathroom. "You're welcome."
"Jerk," I muttered,when I was sure he was out of earshot.
Brick had come to accept after a few desperate attempts on my part. He warmed up to me pretty quickly,but that doesn't mean his sharp tongue ever took a break. He would criticise and make fun of me for no reason,and even though I would get mad,I knew it was his way of letting me know he cares.
Don't ask,okay? Just let me believe that.
I quickly brushed my teeth after a quick shower,and rushed to my room.
It was the start of Junior year for me,and I wanted to look perfect. I searched my closet frantically,and sighed in satisfaction when I found the perfect outfit.
I threw on my white sundress and my white chunky cut out boots. I stared at myself in the mirror. I looked like an Angel.
I rushed to the bathroom and curled my hair,making it all bouncy. I gave myself a little wink,before rushing down stairs.
"Watch it," Brick threatened when I bumped into him on the way to the kitchen. "Can it!" I said as I walked ahead of him.
He was wearing his signature red cap,some black skinny jeans with a rip at the knee,a baggy black tee and his all black converse shoes. Complete opposites,I thought as I compared my outfit to his.
I headed upstairs to finish getting ready. After a couple of minutes,I heard the front door open,and I rushed downstairs quickly as I flung my Blue messenger back over my shoulder.
I saw Brick's car speeding out the driveway as I arrived at the foot of the stairs.
"Jerk!" I yelled.
"Did Brick leave you,darling?" Mom yawned from above me. I nodded,embarrassed.
"I'll drop you off-" she started,but I shook my head repeatedly. I smiled up at her.
"Don't worry about it mom. I have another ride!" I said,running out of the house.
When I was at least a few good minutes away,I pulled out my phone and called a number on speed dial.
After a few rings,I heard a familiar voice. "Hello?"
"Robin... Can you please pick me up?!"
"Sure,I'll be there in a few."
"You're a lifesaver!"
