For a lot of people, life is about money and fame and what you do to reach the top you've always wished to be at.
For Sierra Evans life isn't a struggle. The way she lives, the money her family owns can give her a title of whatever anyone could wish for. But Sierra isn't a spoiled brat as she often calls her brother, Joe.
For Sierra, life is about...
"What the hell are you doing?"
Sierra's head snapped up from her essay at obnoxious voice of her brother, "Homework" she replied simply, placing a hand on top of her just started essay.
"Spoiled brat?" Joe scoffed loudly, amusement written on his face as he leaned his weight on Sierra's desk with his right arm.
Sierra narrowed her eyes, placing a book on top of her essay "No one has you reading my homework" she pointed out.
Joe chuckled, hopping on top of the desk, swaying his legs back and forth on his older sister's desk, "If that's what you call homework" Joe shrugged, propping a chip on his mouth. Sierra leaned against the chair, annoyed amd crossing her arms squinting her eyes at the chips her brother was eating, her chips "You only want to show off we have money. Kind of contradictory of the point you want to make, actually" his brows knitted in a thoughtful expression, obviously sarcastic
"Back off" Sierra sighed, rolling her eyes. "What are you doing here, anyway?"
"Dinner's ready" Joe replied, jumping out of her desk and walking out of her room "Mom sends me for you. I mean, it's not like our house isn't that big to do it herself"
Sierra smiled sarcastically "The walls have ears" she whispered mockingly, standing up and following her brother.
"I'm not that interesting to be heard" Joe shrugged shoving his hands to his jean pockets. Sierra rolled her eyes "What was that homework for? No one wants to hear who are the rich guys of Amber Beach... Wait, yes there are. I forgot about your so called shallow and fake 'friends'" Joe used air quotes, rolling his eyes
"Hey, don't call my friends shallow and fake" Sierra frowned, offended at what her 15 year old brother just said "They're nice..."
"When they want to be" Joe replied, flashing his sister an annoyed look "And you and I both know neither Rachel nor Vanessa has a kind spirit to be nice once in a while. Caroline however..." Joe shrugged, a sheepish smile playing on his lips "Caroline can be really nice"
Sierra smiled teasingly, "That's cause you like Caroline" she sing sang, laughing as she dodged Joe's arm as he tried to smack Sierra "Admit it, you have a crush on Caroline"
"No, I do not" Joe crossed his arms, stubbornly.
Sierra smirked knowingly shrugging as they arrived the living room where their mother, Freya was just setting the last plate on the table, chuckling at her children
"Yes, you do honey" Freya smiled slightly, brushing a strand of her dirty blonde hair behind her ear.
Joe gaped at his mother, "You're supposed to be on my side! Like, you're supposed to not like it when I have a crush"
"So you're admitting it" Sierra's smile grew smug and victorious as she high fived her mom, both of them siting down at opposites side of the table
Joe's eyes widened once he realized what happened, "No fair! You played dirty!" He pointed at the blondes accusingly also siting down at his place at the table
"That's what happens when the men are outed, son" Alaric, Joe and Sierra's father said walking toward them from his study, taking a seat on his place on the table
Joe nodded in agreement, narrowing his eyes at the innocent looking women "They bully me"
Freya shook her head, a smile on her lips "I would never do such thing to either of my children" she replied, taking the salad and adding some to her plate
Alaric smiled amused, raising a hand to his wife, looking at Joe tilting his head aside "Your mother doesn't lie"
Sierra grumbled under her breath, twirling a spoon in her hand "She did the other day when I asked her if she was going to take me to one of her digs" she leaned against the table, pointing at her mother with the spoon "You said you were gonna take me. Two digs have happened and have I gone to one? No" she crossed her arms
Freya sighed, lowering the tweezers and giving her daughter an apologetic look, "It's dangerous taking you with me, Sierra"
Alaric narrowed his eyes at his daughter warningly when she opened her mouth to protest "Listen to your mother. If she says is dangerous to take you with her then I can't let you go either" he said sternly
"It's not like you would know what danger feels like" Sierra mumbled under her breath, pursing her lips holding a groan of pain as she secretly massaged her knee where Joe kicked her. She gave her brother a 'what the hell?' look.
Joe shook his head disapprovingly
"What did you say, Sierra?"
Sierra looked at her father with a sigh falling through her lips "Okay, I know that was out of line" she raised her hands in defense, giving a shrug "But either of you has to understand I really want this. I don't just want to be another college girl with a fashion magazine in her lap waiting for things to be given in my hand-"
"Like Rachel" Joe coughed innocently
"-I like to dig up things" Sierra continued, ignoring her brother "The places you go to can't be more dangerous where my expedition class go to every week"
Freya pursed her lips, sternly "Don't talk to me about that, I know where your class have their practice" she sighed, shaking her head "I just don't want anything happening to you" she gave her daughter a soft look, worrying her lip between her teeth
Sierra's frown softened as she sighed a little, "We're always careful, mom. Our profesor kind of places chains a round the area we work at so we don't cross the limits" she explained "He knows those places aren't their property but the Museum, kinda. So we're always careful"
Freya felt she could now breath better "Good" she nodded in approval. "You're too young right now to go to dangerous places. The life of an archeologist is never easy"
"No, it's not" Alaric agreed, nodding "That's why the acting career is mine"
"Acting isn't easy either" Joe added, giving his father a smile
"Lame ass" Sierra mouthed at her brother with a smirk, making him roll his eyes. Neither parent saw what she told her brother.
"No, I guess not" Freya shrugged, smiling
"Can we eat, now?" Sierra complained
Her family chuckled, finally shutting up and enjoying the not so often family dinner
