Sugar rush

"Monday-rain, Tuesday-rain, Wednesday...more rain!" I slammed the lid down hard, causing the laptop to shudder.

"be careful with the equipment dear, costs money you know" I glared at my mother, her eyes were glued to the book in front of her.

"what chapter are you on?" I asked, placing the laptop gently onto the foot stool.

"chapter seventeen, I think..." she lowered the book "why do you ask?"

I shrugged "just curious" she raised her eyebrow

"ok dear" she picked up her book. I walked over to kiss her forehead

"I'll be in my room" I said quickly "cup of tea please" I called

"sure, if you make it yourself" she replied, gazing at her book again

"ugh, never mind" I waved my hand and continued up the stairs. I passed Kyle when I reached the top, he acknowledged my existence with a curt nod before continuing to the bathroom.

"ask mum for a tea will you?" he called

"ask her yourself!" I snapped and slammed my bedroom door before he could reply. I bent over and turned the power for my computer on, my chair sunk three inches when I sat on it.

"stupid chair" I muttered, turning the small bar to make it rise again. I pushed the on button for my computer and gazed at my reflection in the small mirror while it booted up. I'm a pretty normal girl as they come; five foot one in height, size 5 shoe and rather slim. I have dark brown hair, it's impossibly curly but I'm trying to get it straitened out, I have dark blue eyes and most of my face is dominated by freckles.

The familiar noise of my computer woke me from my day dream. I switched on the internet and checked Deviant Art, I had no new messages so I typed in the YouTube website and listened to Lady Gaga - Poker Face . I often preferred to dance to this, but today I wasn't in the mood for fun. I leaned back into the black cushion of my leather chair, it wasn't the most comfortable chair I'd ever sat in, but it was mine. I closed my eyes and sang the few final verses of poker face, bobbing my head to the music.

"Rox, Alison is sending me your crap again!" Kyle yelled from his room

"ugh, send her my E-mail address then!" I yelled back

"fine!"

A few minuets passed before Alison was given my E-mail address, she had my old one but that was changed when my dad bought me a new computer, so Alison had been sending messages to Kyle instead.

"done, tell her not to send anymore to me!" he snapped. I growled silently until I heard his music pounding through the walls. I turned towards my computer, a small message box appeared at the bottom. It was Alison.

Hey Roxanne, how's things? Went shopping today ha, ha! got some awesome stuff! I'll show you on Saturday... Maybe. Oh and how are we looking for that trip out?

Alison

Typical, she was always boasting about new clothes and makeup she's bought. I typed a message back.

Hay Alison

Fine thanx, good for you. Sorry about Wednesday, but it's raining all week so we can't have the trip out. Saturday isn't good either, dad wants' to go out with mum so I'm on babysitting duty with Kyle

Rox

I sent the E-mail and returned to YouTube to pick another song, I settled for Lady Gaga - Love Game and relaxed. Three minuets passed when Alison sent her reply, I was really dreading what she had said.

No, no, no!!! That aint right, why couldn't the rain hit somewhere else? I mean this is the last week of the summer hols. This sucks, and babysitting on SATURDAY? Dude, how old is that pipsqueak now... 10? He should look after himself!

"uh hu..." I muttered to myself, I clicked on the next song underneath Love game which happened to be Lady Gaga - Eh Eh (Nothing Else I Can Say) and typed a response

He's 12 now, 2 year difference between us dear. Lol

It sucks right? don't answer that or well be chatting for ages, I'm gonn'a turn in for the night.

Kk

I clicked off the computer, grabbed my MP3 player and ran towards the bathroom to do my teeth, I collided with Kyle on the landing.

"hey watch it!" he pushed me off

"watch it yourself, it wasn't me who wasn't watching where I was going!" I retorted

"hu, course Rox" he rolled his eyes

"you know what, go get hit by a truck!" I shoved passed him and locked the bathroom door, he pounded on it with his fists.

"oy, I need the loo!" he yelled. I ignored him and pushed the earphones into my ears and selected random play, I brushed my teeth to Britney Spears - Circus.

"ROX!!" it was mum calling me this time, I wrenched one earphone from my ear so I could hear her

"what!" I shouted as loud as I could, my mouth filled with toothpaste

"let Kyle in" Kyle shouted, a mocking tone in his voice

"when I'm done" I answered icily

"NOW!" that was mum

"fine!" I washed my mouth out and rinsed my brush. I opened the door slowly, Kyle shoved passed and ran to the toilet. I groaned and left the room listening to Love Story by Taylor swift, mum grabbed my shoulder and forced me to face her.

"Roxanne" she pronounced my name slowly, that usually meant trouble.

"mmm.. Nope no one hear by that name" I said jokingly, she frowned.

"just go to bed" she sighed and headed downstairs shaking her head. I stared after her, it wasn't often I got let off this easily... It felt good.

I climbed into bed smiling to myself, Kyle wasn't happy with mum's reaction and clearly showed his disappointment by having a mood in his room. Typical boy, acting like a two year old. I fell asleep listening to Lady GaGa- Beautiful Dirty Rich.

I awoke to the sound of rain and thunder outside my window, the rain was so heavy it looked like a Fuzzy television screen. I moaned with disgust, rain meant I had to stay at home, and staying at home meant I had nothing to do! My computer dinged.

"uh oh" I tried to remember turning off my computer, I was sure I had... I turned the screen on and looked for the message, it was from Alison.

Hi, how's you're morning?

You were right about the rain! Ugh pity right?

Alison

I quickly typed my response

Hey

Morning sucks, yer pity.

Hey, did I turn off my computer last night?

Rox

I waited anxiously for the reply

Oh nice greeting

Um... Hang on I keep a record on my computer, I knew it would be useful one day!

Ok got it.... Yes you did, you signed on again at midnight

Ok.. Why where you on at midnight?

I read the message over and over

I wasn't , I was asleep

*ding*

Hu, who turned it on then?

I slapped my forehead

Kyle! Mum didn't tell me off to his standard, he probably did this to wind me up

I felt so stupid, of course it was Kyle. I shook my head, he would pay for this!

Ah, I hate that pretentious bast**d!!!

I laughed and sent my reply turning on Britney Spears - Womanizer as I did.

You said it, lets talk on MSN it's easier

I waited for the MSN box to appear, when it did I began to plan my revenge for Kyle.

Twihard: So what are you going to do to him?

Cullenist for life: not sure yet, any juicy ideas

Twihard: maybe...

Cullenist for life: do tell

Twihard: how about... Water balloons filled with jam and custard?

Cullenist for life: but when would I do it? Mum and dad would kill me!

Twihard: Saturday, on babysitting duty

Cullenist for life: oh yer... Want to come over and help? It's no shopping trip but the

walk will be worth it!

Twihard: kk

I leaned back against my chair listening to Kylie Minogue - In My Arms until mum called me for breakfast.

I glared at Kyle over the kitchen counter, he looked surprised and confused at my hostility, a great performance I bet! He was just waiting for me to get told off... Well I'd get him, soon enough.

"well, you two look set to kill each other" mum commented, setting the plates she was carrying onto the counter.

"hu!" Kyle snorted, and left the room

"ok Rox, what did you do?" she sighed

"nothing" yet...
