"Anthony!" I heard her scream from her bedroom that was just down the hall. I ran into the kitchen, not prepared to see Ian eating my fucking cereal….again. God, how many times do I have to tell him, the Pokemon cereal is MINE!

"What did you do now, Anthony?" Ian asked, looking up with a disapproving look, his voice monotone since it's only six in the morning. I rolled my eyes.

"Why do you think I did something?"

"Anthony!" Her voice practically shook the house with rage, making me wince. Ian crossed his arms, throwing the spoon into the bowl casually with a 'plunk'.

"Yeah, Anthony, you totally didn't do anything. That's why it sounds like Autumn is going to kick your ass, right?" He said in his cocky know-it-all voice. I hated it when he used that voice. I don't care if we were like brothers, that voice pisses me off. I sighed. But then I heard her get up and start making her way down the hall. I looked over at Ian in panic.

"Dude, please help!" He was acting like he was thinking, obviously loving the fact I needed his help. That is never a good sign. I rolled my eyes.

"I dunno, Anthony. I have to think about it"

"Please! I'll do anything!" I said, hearing her footsteps coming closer.

"Hmmm….anything?"

"Yes! Anything! I'm begging you!" I pleaded, getting down on my knees, freaking out at how close her footsteps were. Ian smiled.

"Fine, I'll help-"

"Thank you man!" I hugged him tightly, nearly picking him up off the ground.

"Whoa! You have to do my laundry for a month you know." I put him down.

"Alright! Now help!"

"Okay! Okay! I'm thinking!…I got it!" He pushed me behind his chair and sat back down casually, just when Autumn walked in. Ian stifled a laugh, I can tell it was hard for him not to laugh, seeing what I did to her hair.

"Where is he?" She said angrily, acid spitting out of her mouth. I quivered behind the chair violently, she could probably see the chair shaking it was that bad. Ian struggled to come up with something, hesitating. I sighed silently, he better come up with something good.

Autumn crossed her arms over her chest, that is something no one would want her to do. She may be small, but her bite is worse than her bark.

"I'm waiting…" She sighed, now tapping a finger on her elbow.

"Uh, well, he went to go get the mail." Ian avoided her eyes, a stupid move on his part. She became suspicious about this.

"Hmmm, interesting. I could've sworn you guys got the mail yesterday, it's all out in the garage."

Now Ian was stumped. I sighed, okay, I'd rather just come out. I got up, hands up in defeat. Her eyes narrowed. I gulped, this is not going to be good.
