Becky's POV:
Wow I have absolutely no life whatsoever. Here I am lying on my bed with the radio on staring at my ceiling when Glen and Spencer both have something to do—or should I say someone to do?
Have you ever noticed the weird patterns on your ceiling? Right above me there's like this swirl that looks just like a llama and to the left of it there's a demented spoon.
Oh my god I can not believe I just said that.
Wow I really do have no life.
My Samsung alias buzzed beside me. New text message from Amanda.
Hey i'll b over in 5.

Damn! I had totally forgot she was coming! I ran to downstairs and cleaned it out as good as a 15 year old girl possibly could in five minutes. Then the doorbell rang. There was Amanda carrying a pumpkin the size of my head.
"Hey." Amanda said.
"Hey. You can come in." I say stupidly. God I'm such a dork. We went down to the basement and sat down on my beanbag chairs. I take out my sharpies and atlas and we start mapping out the globe. Each time her hand brushed against mine I shuddered. It was like being electrocuted but it wasn't painful, it was nice.
If that doesnt sound too weird.
"So, tell me about your family." I look up.
"You really want to know about my family?" I asked her, searching her gray eyes for any sign of teasing. There was none. Amanda nodded.
"Um… ok well, my dad's a social worker and my mom's a doctor. We moved here two years ago from Ohio. I have a sister named—"
"Spencer."
"Yeah how'd—"
"Mrs. Berger." She said with a smile which practically made me melt.
"Ohhh." I paused. "So anyways, Spencer's a junior and she's like the best sister ever. I know that sounds wicked corny and stuff but she's always been there for me and I think she's the only one who really understands me. Spencer has a girlfriend, Ashley, and Ashley's really great. She's the kind of person that everyone always wants to be but never can, so tough and confident on the outside but you always want to hug her. Spence gave a lot up to be with Ashley and I think she did the right thing because Ashley really does loves her." I glance at Amanda, she was staring at me with a serious face but her eyes were twinkling and urging me to go on.
"Anyway I have a brother, Glen, he can be such a jerk sometimes but sometimes he's really sweet. Like the time when someone called Spencer a dyke. He got all up in their face and beat that kid up. He's also dating that slut Madison. I seriously don't know what he sees in her." I said rambling.
"What about you?" Amanda asked cutting me off.
"Me? Well I'm nothing special, Glen's the basketball star, Spencer's the straight-A student, and I'm just the normal one in the family."
"Becky," Amanda stared me right in the eye, "you're way more than just normal."
Wow. No one has ever said that to me before.
"Thanks." I mumbled and blushed.
Why is it so hard just to look her in the eyes?
After a while, we went upstairs to get some snacks. Spencer and Ashley were sitting on the couch watching some stupid reality T.V. show that no one pays attention to. Spencer and Ashley were too busy staring into each other.
"Hey Spence, hey Ash. This is Amanda." I introduced.
"Hi Amanda, nice to meet you." Spencer smiled politely. Ashley said nothing, only looking at me with raised eyebrows.
"I'm going to get some water." Amanda says walking into the kitchen. When she turns around Ashley gives me two thumbs up and mouths "She's hot". I roll my eyes at her and follow Amanda into the kitchen.
