Troublesome 11 Year Olds


Kelvin Black

"You know it's good to have my partner in crime back!" I said to Aaron as we carried the bags of soil our dads told us to pick out because we'd all be working in the garden together. Our dads thought that by doing this we'd have 'father and son' moments together and whatnot.

"So glad we're back together!" Aaron said patting my shoulder was threw the bags on the grass. I chuckled.

"I missed you too buddy. I was actually starting to think our relationship was going on a down low." I replied. He and I stopped to stare at each other for a few seconds before giving each other our 'bro' hug.

"I love you man." Aaron said.

"I love you too," I said emotionally and then we immediately began fake crying.

"I have a confession to make," I began.

Aaron stopped at his tracks to look at me concernedly.

"Look, if you're transitioning into something different I fully understand." He said. I frowned.

"What?"

"I mean if these feelings you're having are expanding then I totally understand. I won't judge and I promise you I'm not the type of person who judges that quickly."

"Wait it's not what you-"

"No say no more. I understand that it was so secrete to tell anyone. I promise I won't utter a word about your kind. However feelings you have I-"

I laughed and cut him off.

"Wa-wait…I'm not gay if that's where you're going at!" I laughed. He widened his eyes.

"I'm not talking about that you idiot! I was implying you being an alien-werewolf."

"You mean a werewolf-alien?"

"Yeah whatever, not that no," He said. I laughed.

Suddenly we heard two voices entering the backyard. My twin sister and I'm assuming one of her friends (only friends I might add) Liv walked in together.

"So I'm thinking of trying out for the boys' lacrosse team." I told him.

"But you don't know how to play lacrosse!"

"I know. But I have to. My dad says I need to get some athletic interests and seen as lacrosse is practically our highest sport peak in our school, I have to take it. Even if I hate sports! I'd rather prefer sitting in my room with five boxes of decadent pepperoni pizzas and killing the Y-Box 700!" I said in thought.

"That's great Kelvin," Aarons said a little distractedly as he stared at my sister and her friend walk into the backyard patio door. I followed his gaze where Liv was now bending over to reach for something she dropped on the ground then back at Aaron who looked excited and dazed at the same time.

"What the hell do you think you're doing?" I questioned.

He shifted back from his trance-like state and back to reality as he faced me.

"What?" He asked. I raised my eyebrow and he chuckled nervously.

"I'm agreeing with you. I'm being agreeable." He said unconvincingly.

"You think she's hot don't you?" I questioned.

"No, no! No way!" He said almost immediately. He shifted back to her as she laughed at my sister, her long straight blond hair waving around. They both shifted their eyes to us and now Aaron could see Liv's face perfectly. He looked nervous.

"Okay. Maybe, yeah maybe a little…" He said nodding his head. I just snorted.

Both Karen and Liv came over to us. Karen sighed as she crossed her arms. She was dressed in her usual tom-boyish get up in a black hoodie and some khaki jeans with some trainers with her hair pulled back in a ponytail.

"Sup dorkwards!" She snorted.

"You look pretty awesome in that get up!" I laughed at my sister. "Where did you get it? Boys 'R Us, or did you get it at the 21st century boys catalog?"

"We are in the 21st century dorkworm!" She said in irritation. I mocked her speech.

"I'm Aaron Call, but people call me 'Call Me'" Aaron said smoothly as he extended his hand to Liv. She laughed at him.

"Well that's unfortunate." She said.

"You're fiesty. I like fiesty." Aaron said. Liv laughed and rolled her eyes. Karen sighed and grabbed Liv's hands.

"I think we're done here." Karen said and they both scrammed away.

"Who the hell was that?!" Aaron asked immediately after. I laughed.

"That's Liv Hastings." I simply said.

"She's the most beautiful creature I've ever seen!"

"Yeah, well she and my sister will be seeing a creature alright," I laughed. He frowned.

"I placed a realistic looking snake in her room and they'll notice it and scream in 3, 2, 1..."

Then immediately, we heard a chorus of screams coming from up my sister's room and I smiled triumphantly.

That should do it...

Backyard

After working in the garden with our dads, they called us out so that they could show us their new 'project'.

The problem with the whole situation was that my father and uncle were standing under the tree where Aaron and I set up a prank for our sisters and if they looked up the whole prank would fall on top them and we'll most likely be toasted sandwiches.

I was so nervous about it.

"So glad you're all here today."

"Yeah that's great dad. But we can do this inside right? Let's get inside, come on doggies," I said nervously.

Dad shook me off and told me to keep quiet. I sighed.

"Now that you're all here, you all can witness what a $5000 grill can perfect!" Dad said triumphantly with his proud laugh. My mother gasped which caused both our dads to keep quiet immediately.

"It cost…how much?!" She questioned angrily.

"Way to go pops!" I whispered and Aaron chuckled at my side.

"Nothing to worry about now, we'll discuss it later." Dad said. "Now, witness the greatness of the Z-2 Grill 700 programmed so only I can use it." He added as he signaled to his remote button thingy that I assumed programmed the grill.

"Can we get it over and done with dad, Aaron and I have a spaceship mission to attend to!" I said jokingly.

"Oh dear god please! My attention span doesn't last as long as you people so can we keep this going. Or I'll have the sudden urge to grill myself!"

"Mom, then I won't have any breast milk…"Aaron teased. Auntie Erica and mom gasped.

"You take that back mister!" Erica scolded.

"Babe…He's not wrong. You do still treat him like a-" Uncle Embry chipped in but Auntie Erica stopped him.

"Don't you dare finish that sentence," Erica scolded the father now. This was really fun!

My father sighed.

"So I guess I'll continue?" He asked. We all nodded.

He was about to test drive the new grill but then stopped to smell the air. Oh god! Don't tell me you smell rotten trash and paint water please don't tell me.

"Doesn't it feel like rain?" He asked out of the blue.

I widened my eyes then shut them immediately and grabbed hold of Aaron's friend.

"It was really great knowing you my friend. I'll miss you." I whispered to him.

"It is kinda getting dark." My mother agreed then slowly began to look up. I shut my eyes even tighter and gripped Aaron's hand tightly.

"You know what. I'll check the weather on this new phone. It gives a clear visible picture of the weather in a horizontal stance. You know the technology has improved rapidly?" Mom said showing Auntie Erica her new and improved gadget.

"I think we'll have to move this to another day buddy." Uncle Embry told my dad. He sighed in agreement then covered the grill with a huge cloth. He gave it a small kiss.

"Sleep tight,"

I was for certain that he loved that grill more than he loved us!

The parents finally scrammed away and I was finally ready to face the real world.

I skimmed my eyes everywhere to see that no damages have been made. The grill was in place and there wasn't any sign of paint water and garbage.

"What's that?" I asked Aaron. "Who finally exceeded his winning prank and went along to win the Noble Prize for keeping a prank in tact?" I asked. He just rolled his eyes.

"This guy!" I said pointing to myself.

"Well what do you have to say about our prank deactivating?" He asked. I frowned and he motioned to the bag of disasterous proportion ready to tip over. We ran towards it and moved the $5000 grill to the side and stood in the center.

Then if things couldn't get even more worrisome, the end of the rope tore apart. Both Aaron and I stared at each other in shock.

"What do we do?"

"You're asking me. This was your idea!"

Then we were all squashed by the tumbling of the our prank. Nice one Kelvin!

Our parents and everyone came out of the backyard. Our mom's gasped.

"What in the world?" Erica stated.

"What in dear god happened in here?"

"Yeah, and why does it smell like someone's garbage trash and wet dog?" Rosie asked wrinkling her nose and squeezing it as she waved her hand.

"Oh because it is old trash, water paint, a wet dog stench!" Aaron replied. I widened my eyes and he just shrugged.

"We needed to add a little flavor?"

"You know what...I don't even wanna know just...clean this up." Renesmee said. "And take a shower with the hose, that smell isn't going near my house!"

Mom and Dad gave me grounding and she uttered everyone to enter the house except for us. I sighed and turned to Aaron.

"Go big or go home?"

"I wanna go home!" He cried out. I rolled my eyes.

Then suddenly we heard something crashing and a small wheel came rolling over to us. We slowly followed each others gaze to see that the grill was deactivated itself.

Oh man!

We're going to grilled cheese...

Breakfast

I was starving. I think it's a Black tradition –at least that's what dad says – that our stomachs can't hold down most food and we'd get hungrier every one-two hours. The men mostly have that affect.

As soon as I entered the dining room and took a seat at the table, I grabbed a plate and started piling up everything in sight: Pancakes, eggs, bacon, two rash-sausages, hash browns you name it. Today was dad's day for cooking.

He and mom took turns cooking every day. They were both incredible cooks but dad's breakfast meals were always the best! Although neither of us would ever tell mom that. It wouldn't just cause WW3 but it'll be just madness in the bedroom.

It first starts off with her having her feelings hurt, then our dad would apologize for us and tell her 'that she's the best cooker in the history of all cooking,' then they'd have a make-out session and both excuse themselves to the bathroom but we all knew they'd be romancing in the bedroom. Long story short, we'd always end up driving with Zaylin to school.

I laughed at the thought.

"What's so funny buddy?" My dad asked. I just shook my head and stuffed myself with the food and chugged it down with tropical favored juice. I choked in it.

"Oh baby. Stop stuffing yourself with food." My mother said motherly as she wiped my mouth with a napkin. "I wouldn't want my baby kitten to choke," She cooed. I groaned.

My mom was so embarrassing.

"He's being a pig." Rosie stated, I glared at her and she just stuck her tongue at me. And she says I was beyond immature. Well welcome to the club!

"Rosie!" My father scolded. "Don't talk like that about your brother. He's just hungry, no one's arguing with that." He said in my defense with a mouthful of eggs.

"Well okay." Rosie chuckled.

"You should get a girlfriend. Maybe that'll make him grow up more!" Zaylin teased me.

"Good one bro!" Rosie chuckled giving him a nudge of the arm. "A relationship is exactly what he needs to gain better manners."

"I'm sure that wouldn't be a problem for you." Kari whispered from across the table and ate a piece of sausage. Rosie glared at her, giving her a disapproval point and I frowned.

I wonder what that exchange was about but I was determined to find out.

"Okay. Everyone, leave your brother alone please." My father said completely oblivious to the two girls' exchanges.

"And chew properly please Kelvin." My mother said.

I did as I was told and ate properly and we all continued our food in silence, until my mother broke it.

"Anyway, your father and I are invited to the premiere of The True-" My mother said but Rosie cut her off with her loud squeal.

"American Were-Alien Story?" she asked.

"Yeah, it's this up-coming Television show on-"

"Were-Aliens in Texas," Rosie exclaimed. "I read the synopsis. It's about were-aliens in Texas who came from across the galaxy to the earth in hopes of finding safety after their world was destroyed. They adapt to life and disguise themselves as humans. But a very curious girl meets one of the youngest aliens of the family and they immediately click. But grave danger surfaces and the alien hunters are after the aliens who abduct humans. Its' kinda like the new Teen Wolf, True Blood, The Vampire Diaries but instead it's were-aliens on earth." She exclaimed with a chuckle. "Except its way more believable than werewolves on earth,"

"And let me guess, the couples is a human and an alien of course?" Kari asked. Rosie nodded enthusiastically.

"Oh yeah K-Z/Koel and Serenna, Karenna. Star-crossed lovers from different intergalactic dimensions!" exclaimed Rosie. She heaved in her breath. "They're kinda like the next Stelena but nobody cares about them anymore. If I could meet the actors I'd probably want nothing more in life."

I knew Rosie was just getting on our parents good side and pumping up the courage on asking them if she could join them at the premiere…well played sister, well played.

"Well thanks for your distain Rosie but nice try. You're not going." Our dad said clearing his throat. Rosie nodded as she went back to her food.

"Yeah, I've got dance practice today so, I was just…Ooh flapjacks!" Rosie exclaimed as she reached for them and poured some syrup on it then took a chunk out of it. She hummed in satisfaction. "Delicious."

"Okay…" My mother said awkwardly as she stared at Rosie worriedly then turned back to the rest of us. "We'll be leaving in a couple of hours right after we drop you all off at school."

"We'll be gone for the weekend and since Rosie's going to her practice and Zaylin's practice run today-"

"So what you're saying is we get the whole house to ourselves?" Karen asked with a hopeful smiled. I widened my eyes and grinned like an idiot.

Rosie and Zaylin laughed.

"You two?" questioned Rosie as she stifled in her laughter.

"In one giant house, all by yourselves?" our older joined in and Zaylin rolled back on his chair in mounts of laughter. Our mother scolded. "I'm sorry but that's rich!"

I lightly kicked off the foot of Zaylin's chair from under the table causing him to fall on his back. He yelped and Karen and I laughed.

"Okay. Enough!" Dad exclaimed. We all abided as Zaylin got up off the floor. "This weekend, I don't want any of…this okay? Karen and Kelvin, you guys should promise to be punctual and listen to your older brother and sister, understand me?" Dad questioned.

Karen and I took a look at each other before nodding in agreement whilst Rosie just laughed her annoying laugh.

"That goes for you two. We don't want any issues like what happened a few weeks ago." Our dad said pointing at both Zaylin and Rosie. Zaylin rolled his eyes.

"Are you going to hold that against me on every opportunity you get dad?" Zaylin asked. I laughed.

"I think we need to call Mrs. Wilkinson from next door if she could keep an eye on them while we're gone." Mom suggested. Dad nodded in agreement and we all groaned.

"Not grumpy ole Mrs. Wilkinson. I'm still trying to recover from the injury she gave me with her metal-cane!" I retorted.

"She always told us off for making a noise when we walked by, when we weren't even making any noise!"

"And on Halloween night, she'd give us celery and dead rats! Oh and let's not forget to mention her death threats, her grumpy stories, her creepy voice telling us to go trick or treat somewhere else! She's bad news guys!" Karen commented.

"She's a profession in everything dad, being the angriest woman on earth, the first ever serial killer for causing a child to die of boredom! We're dealing with a profession killer parents! She's a profession!" Rosie retorted.

"Oh come on guys. Don't be like that. She just lost her husband for Christ's sakes! She's bound to not be her usual self."

"I don't think her husband died from old age. I think she buried him alive in that old house!"

"Talk about 'The Haunted House', the last time I entered that house. It smelled like old lady perfume and death! Death I repeat!" Zaylin retorted. Rosie put her hands in the air as to say she surrenders her case.

"I stand corrected."

"She'll be helping us take care of you mischievous kids." Dad joked as he gave Karen a tickle and a small bite on the neck causing her to laugh and lifting her up so she was sat on his lap.

"She'd beat everyone into a bloody pulp. In my opinion that's not helping that's counterproductive."

"Why should we say yes?" Rosie asked.

"Because your father and I say so, so from now on no arguing with our requests and you'll oblige. Understand me?" Mom said. We all sighed but agreed.

"Don't we at least have options?" Zaylin asked.

"Either Ms. Wilkinson or…Crystal." Dad said.

I looked up from my plate with a mouthful of food in my mouth and widened my eyes.

"Cry-stele?!" I half shouted and half choked out.

"Oh dear god, chew properly Vinnie." My mother said wiping my mouth with the napkin. I obliged as I swallowed.

"Did you say Crystal? Crystal's coming over?" I questioned.

Crystal has been Karen and I's third probably 18th babysitter for two years now. She was only 17 and attended a totally different school then my brother and sister.

To be totally upfront, I've kinda developed a small crush on her since then. I mean she was the most magnificent girl I've ever met! It's not often you find such beauty in a blink of an eye but from the moment I met with her beautiful light brown eyes I just felt interlocked in them and it was immediately impossible to break away from them. She was my soul mate.

"Yes Crystal! I'm guessing we should sign you up for hearing classes."

"She can't be here! I'm not even dressed appropriately. What am I going to wear?"

"You sound like me on shopping day!" Rosie exclaimed.

I rolled my eyes at my older sister.

"We don't need babysitters. I'm freaking 18 for crying in a bucket."

"Uh...almost 18," Dad said taking a bite out of his food. "You turn 18 in August remember?"

"Still the same thing!"

"What Zaylin means is that we promise to be the most well behaved children and we don't need supervision." Rosie said with her wide grin.

My father didn't look too convinced as he watched us warily and we all grinned like idiots. I knew where Rosie's plan was going at and I was fully supportive in it.

"Nice try kids." He said.

We all sighed.

"Honey I think what they mean is they need to be tested that they'd be okay by themselves. I mean they are growing up so let's test their responsibilty."

Thank you mom! I would kiss you!

He looked a little hesitant at first but finally agreed with a sigh.

"Okay. But Crystal's still coming over and Mrs. Ole Wilkinson will be watching over you from her house."

We all screamed chorus' of 'yes''.

After breakfast, Mom and Dad dropped Rosie, Karen and I off at our school. We stopped at Rosie's school seen as her school was closer.

"Well here you go,"

"Um dad...What's it say if you have a third ticket to the new show's premiere and you don't know who to give it to. I was thinking if you gave it to the child you loved the most, you'd make a very happy girl!" Rosie said hopefully. Dad and Mom stared at each other for a moment before turning back to Rosie.

"You're not going." They said in unison.

Rosie groaned.

"Ah, it was worth a shot!" Rosie exclaimed then got out of the car.

"Have a good day!" Mom called out.

School

Mom and Dad just dropped Karen and I off at school and I was currently standing with my best friend Aaron Call.

His mom and dad enrolled him to my school for which he'd probably be in for a few months but he and I planned out that we'll try convincing his parents to stay for at least a year which in return will make them feel attached to California and I think we know what that meant...

"This school is awesome!" Aaron commented.

"Yes! And it'll be better if your parents will agree to staying longer." I told him.

"That's not a problem. Piece of pie!" He said. I laughed.

"Piece of cake you mean,"

"Whatever. I've never been so happy ever since-" He said but trailed off when Liv and my sister past us. "Since the birth of Liv Hastings!"

I laughed.

"Hey Liv looks like...you're going to ignore me, again."

They just walked past.

I snorted and patted his back.

"Sorry buddy,"

"You know, this is all your fault?"

"My fault?" I questioned.

"Yes, you and your nerd-squad!"

I laughed.

A/N: I'm back! Sorry for the late update. Haven't been brainstorming much lately because I had no clue where to begin but I hope this chapter reached to your expectations.

Don't you think Kelvin and Aaron are just hilarious? These kids are really going to drive their parents and everyone insane I tell you.

I've decided to change Aaron from a guest star to a more prominent recurring person in this story which means Erica and Embry will make more appearances. Maybe making them live in California? Or extend their stay who knows?

I really wanted to add Karen's POV but I couldn't because there was just so much to tell in Kelvin's one. But I promise she'll come around soon…

I need a lot more reviews this time because I want you to choose these following categories: Rosie's POV, Kyra's POV, Zaylin's POV or Jace's POV…
