All of a sudden, there was a knock at my door. "Yea?" I yelled from my place in front of Tate.
"Dinner's ready," said my brother Mark.
"I gotta go, I'll be back in a jiffy!" I called as I left my room.
"Who were you talking to?" Mark asked looking at me like I was crazy.
"Nobody," I mumbled walking away. During dinner, mom and dad told us that tomorrow we would start school at Westview High.
"Wear something nice, and please behave yourselves, especially you Vince," my step-mother, Angel, chastised.
"Mom, I don't think I'm the one you need to be talking to, remember how Vicky ended her junior year?" I kicked Vince under the table as hard as I could.
"Shut up, I don't really think she wants to be reminded of that Vinny, and don't call me Vicky!"
"Both of you behave!" dad ordered and we were immediately silent. Nobody disobeys dad and gets away with it. It's either obey, or bathroom duty for the next month. When I got back upstairs, I found Tate going through a notebook with a ton of stories and songs in it. My face grew warm at the thought of everything in the particular notebook, those were my love stories, the wishes from the very depths of my heart.
"W-what are you doing?" I stuttered, trying to calm myself down.
"Reading. These are very good, you could tell their from the heart," he commented, not looking up from the notebook.
"T-thanks, but um would you mind putting that away? It's really personal."
"I can tell," he said looking up with a smile. Dammit! Stupid gorgeous man, why do you have to make things difficult?
"P-please could you p-put that away? Nobody was ever supposed to read it."
"Alright," he said with a chuckle. "So, how was dinner?" I shrugged.
"It was alright, I gave Vince a nice bruise so I would say it was good."
"Why'd you give him a bruise?"
"He mentioned how I ended my junior year, and nobody likes to talk about it," I explained.
"What happened?"
"I got into a fight with some girl because I 'stole her idea' for something. Well, it was more like she attacked me and I kept pushing her away, and we happened to be in the middle of chemistry, so we accidentally knocked over a burner and set the chem lab on fire."
"Wow."
