"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh" I screamed as I felt the cold icy water hit my back. This was not the best way to wake up.

"I told you to wake up," my jerk of a brother, Collin, smirked back at me. This was a normal thing for us to do, wake up and annoy the crap out of each other. But ever since he's been hanging out with Sam Uley and his gang I hardly ever see him. He's been skipping school, cutting class, and he doesn't even come home every night. I mean where could he possibly be, it's not like anybody would want to hang out with him.

"Why did u do that?" I practically screamed at him.

"Mom said to get up and get ready," he replied as if it was perfectly normal to throw freezing cold water on somebody.

"So," I said, "That doesn't give you the right to throw water on me. I could've gotten hypothermia and died, I could have gotten a rare infectious cold, I could have….."

"Well u didn't," he said cutting me off, "So just shut up and get ready."

I was to busy staring at him in shock to make up a smart remark back. Collin used to never be this mean. What happened to the fun loving Collin who used to love my over-dramatic comments? What happened to my older brother who loved to pull pranks on me? What happened to the Collin that said he would always be there for me? But truthfully I already knew what happened… he joined Sam's gang.
