"Come on guys! Into the car!" yelled mom. I zipped up my suit case and grabbed my sweater."Coming mom!" I yelled back. I rushed down the stairs only to find my younger sister, Nudge, carrying down 3 suitcases. "What did you put in those? Your whole room?" I asked. Only later, I realized what a huge mistake I had made. "Well, I sort of couldn't decide on one bathing suit, and I needed my make up and like all my clothes…." She blathered on for 10 mins straight. She was 15 and had a huge motor mouth. I loved her with all my heart but she did not know when to shut up. "Gazzy and Ella! Hurry up guys!" I yelled. Gazzy was 14 and Ells was 16 like me. "We're here!" they screamed in unison. "No way"
I said, sarcastically. Ella's brown eyes brightened as she laughed. Gazzy ruffled his blonde hair and smirked at my stupid joke.
"Guys! I've been waiting 10 minutes! Lets go!" my mom yelled. "Mom, its only been 2 minutes, we're coming!" I said. "Oh so you don't want to go to Aunt Marie's?" my mom asked. "No, that's not what I meant! Of course I do its ju- never mind we are coming" I replied, flustered. "That's what I thought." She said with a smirk. "Lock the door on your way out sweet pea." "K" I replied.
We were going to my most favorite ladies house. "Aunt" Marie. She was my mom's best friend so we just called her that. We we're related in no way. Aunt Marie had 3 boys and 1 girl, the exact opposite of us. They boys were Fang (Blush) who was 16 like me, Iggy who was 16 to, and Dylan who was 15. Angel, the youngest was 14. They were like the only reason I existed.
I shooed everyone out of the house and locked the door to our 6 story mansion-like house. I had conquered the basement and gazzy had taken the 3rd floor. Nudge begged for the highest floor and Ella took the fourth. Mom took the 2nd and the main floor was where all of our laundry, kitchen and stuff like that was. My dad supposedly "died" 5 years ago. He wasn't a father, just a biological parent. His name was Jeb and he was a scientist. Another tad bit of info about us, we have powers. Yupppp, Jeb experimented on us secretly. Gazzy could mimic voices perfectly, Nudge attracted metal and I had super super super speed. We all breathe under water and are super smart. Same deal with Marias kids. Fang could turn invisible, igy had super senses, Dylan could see really far and Angel read minds.
I walked down our driveway to our minivan and sat in the middle. I plugged in my iphone 5 headphones and played paramore, the only exception and closed my eyes thinking about Fang. I fell in love with him at like age 10.
Sigh….
You are, the only exception….
