Work experience is great so far, it was funny today, but tomorrow is my last day, and i'm kinda glad, i never thought i would say this, but i can't wait to get back to school.
Gabriella's POV
"Izziebel," I complained, determined to annoy my younger sister.
"Izziebel?" She asked, "Why are you suddenly acting like a loved up freak? I thought you weren't going to let your relationship change you."
"I'm happy Bella, go with it," I grinned.
"First Izziebel, now Bella, what is with you?" She quizzed.
"It's nearly Christmas Izziebel Bella," I smiled, hoping that using both of her newly acquired nicknames would increase her annoyance.
"Yeah, that's why we put the decorations up," She pointed out.
"Two days ago," I added, "Do you remember it?"
"No," She answered sarcastically.
"I'll remind you," I decided and sat down next to her.
"You don't need to," She almost begged, "I'd rather not hear about you, Troy and the mistletoe again."
"You want to hear about the mistletoe again!" I exclaimed, "That's my favourite part."
"It would be," Isobel sighed as I started talking.
Flashback
"Don't drop me," I called down to my boyfriend.
"Wasn't planning to," He replied, tightening his grip around my legs.
I was sitting on his shoulders, reaching up to put mistletoe up on the ceiling, just inside the lounge door.
"Done," I cheered when it was finally secured to the ceiling.
As soon as I was back on the ground he pulled me closer to him and whispered, "You know what we're standing under, right?"
I nodded.
"You know what that means, right?" He quizzed.
I nodded again, just before our lips met, we heard the shout of my sister as she cried, " I have to put the star on the tree,"
We broke apart and we both walked over to her.
"Are you being paid to interrupt?" Troy joked with her.
She nodded, not understanding that he wasn't serious.
"Who by?" I asked, suddenly curious.
"By Evan and by Isobel," Carly stated, "Now put star on tree?"
I lifted my sister up so she could reach the top of the tree to put the star on the top.
"It finished now," She screamed in excitement as I put her down.
"Yes," I agreed, "It's finished isn't it Troy?"
"Yeah," He continued, "Do you like the tree Carly?"
"It's very pretty," She decided, "Are you going to go and tell off Evan and Carly now, because they said they'll take the candy away if I tell you."
"How about, you eat the candy, and then we tell them off," I suggested, glancing out of the door at my brother and sister in the hall.
End Flashback"She told you!" Isobel exclaimed when I finished telling her the story, "She wasn't meant to tell you."
"You weren't meant to give her candy to interrupt us," I pointed out, "It's kinda pathetic Bel, and you're just going to have to get used to the whole lovey dovey stuff, because it's not changing anytime soon."
She rolled her eyes at my comment, "Can you save it for when I'm not around?"
"You didn't mind before Bel, why now?" I quizzed.
"Because it's annoying, everyone is in a relationship now, you and Troy, mom and Andrew, Taylor and Chad, even Allie's got a boyfriend and she's only ten, it's stupid, not everyone can be this happy." She explained.
"Aww, you're not jealous are you?" I quizzed.
"No way, it's just gross, you and Troy are the worst though, can't you go even a minute without touching eachother?" She replied, "It's disgusting, control yourselves, seriously."
"It's called love Bel, you'll understand it someday, the kind of love that Troy and I share is too powerful for you right now, sometimes it's too powerful for me but I know I'd feel lost without it." I told her.
"I'm sure that would have been sweet," She told me, "If hadn't been incredibly sickening."
"I think Evan's been a bad influence on you, what happened to my angelic little sister Bel? Where did she go? I liked her, she was nice, is she coming back or has this new you taken over forever?" I quizzed.
"I'll add that to the list of insane things I never thought I'd hear my sister say in my life," Isobel decided as she got up and walked out of the room.
I sighed and smiled at Carly stroking Bailey in the corner.
"Isobel's a silly sausage," Carly told me as she noticed I was looking at her, "Bailey's not a small dog anymore."
"He's not, is he," I agreed, watching her pet the dog carefully.
She shook her head as she looked back down at him, smiling, mom and dad were right when they said that everyone will enjoy having Bailey around.
Taylor's POV"Drama queen," I sighed under my breath as my sister flounced off.
"I HEARD THAT," Alicia shouted from outside my bedroom door.
"You were meant to," I replied.
"What did you just say?" She asked, trying to seem threatening as she re-entered my room.
"Nothing," I made the lie obvious to her.
"You can be such a freak sometimes, you know that? You and your books, go out every once in a while, have some fun, life isn't all about studying, I didn't study and look where I am!" Alicia exclaimed.
"You work for dad, Leesh," I pointed out, "And you're not remotely good at that."
"What gave you that idea?" She asked as she started snooping around my room.
"Just a hunch," I tried, knowing it would work, smiling to myself as I said 'Mom' in my head.
"Where did you get this from?" She suddenly asked, holding up one of the lockets that were on the dresser.
"Chad," I told her, "Why?"
"Do you know how much this must have cost?" She exclaimed.
"Not really," I admitted, "Why?"
"This is worth a fortune, Tay," She shrieked, "These are real sapphires."
"Really?" I questioned, unsure that she was telling the truth.
"I'd know a sapphire anywhere," She pointed out, "Of course I'm sure, no guy has ever spent this much on me, what was the occasion?"
"He said he didn't need one to spoil me," I answered, trying to seem uninterested, inside I was jumping.
"What did you do to deserve him?" She quizzed as she started jumping up and down.
"Leesh, stop jumping, it's weird," I told her, "Your twenty two, and jumping around, do you know how odd that is?"
"Little sister, this day needs to be marked on a calendar, it has to mean something, I have to have found this necklace, on this day, for a reason, can I borrow it?" She questioned.
"No" I refused, "Why would I let you borrow it?"
"Because I gave you the rules of dating," Alicia tried.
"Not working, I never used those," I told her.
"Wow, you disobeyed the rules of dating and you still got Chad, you are officially my role model," She decided.
"You are officially freaking me out," I explained as she started going through my make-up, "Put that back."
"What's with the pictures?" She asked, glancing at the photographs stuck around my mirror, "Ha you're in all of them, are you egotistical or something? Wait, who am I kidding? You're the least egotistical person in the world, who's the girl in this picture with you?"
I went over to her to see what picture she was pointing at.
"Leesh, that's Gabi, you've met her, countless times," I pointed out.
"Did she change her hair for this photo?" My sister questioned.
"Nope," I replied, "You're just being dumb again, we're complete opposites, you and me."
"We're not as different as you think, Tay." Alicia decided.
"At least I remember your friend's names," I shot back, "and what they look like for that matter."
"Ok, so you're in a stress, so I'm gonna go, you know, hang in my room." She explained.
As soon as she left I went over to the dresser to start putting away the things she had been moving about, noticing that the sapphire necklace that Chad had given me was missing, I shouted through the house, "ALICIA, BRING IT BACK NOW AND NOBODY GETS HURT."
I used three different sisterly relationships there:
Gabriella and Isobel
Gabriella and Carly
Taylor and Alicia
I know, pretty random thing to point out.
I'm going to start the sequel soon, so i have chapters written to put up in the new year.
