A/N- I don't really have anything to say except that Gordo and Jeremy do not hate each other. This chapter is taking place on Friday.

Chapter Three

Jeremy and Gordo drove home in the car, and Gordo helped carry in Jeremy's bags. When they opened the front door to the house, Jeremy was practically stampeded by his younger brother, Ben.

Ben: Jeremy!

Ben gave Jeremy a hug, and Jeremy hugged him back.

Jeremy: Ben! What have you been up to?

Ben: Nothing much. Did you bring me anything?

Jeremy: Of course! I brought you all my dirty laundry.

Ben: Ew!

It was then that Lizzie came in.

Jeremy: Hey mom!

Jeremy hugged his mom.

Lizzie: Hey, sweetheart! How are you?

Jeremy: Fine.

Lizzie: It feels like I haven't seen you in a year.

Jeremy: It's been less than a month.

Gordo: Yeah, but we miss you all the time.

Jeremy rolled his eyes. It was then when Olivia entered the room, eating a Popsicle.

Olivia: Hi.

Jeremy: Hi.

Ben: Hi.

Jeremy and Olivia looked down at Ben who was making faces trying to get Jeremy's attention. Jeremy and Olivia laughed.

Olivia: How is Kincaid?

Jeremy: Good. How is sixth grade?

Olivia: It is good. It is pretty easy, but good.

Jeremy: Cool.

Olivia and Jeremy were the type of brother and sister that got along okay. Jeremy was hardly ever home, so it was kind of hard for them not to get along.

Olivia is the type of girl who takes after both her parents as far as looks and personality. She had blue eyes, dirty blonde hair, and was average height for her age. She took gymnastics and softball. She isn't the most popular girl in school, but she isn't unpopular. She did have enough confidence to be happy with herself.

Olivia: So, anything interesting happening at Kincaid?

Jeremy: Well, I am looking forward to lacrosse season. We start practice in January.

Ben: Can I come to one of your games?

Jeremy: (laughs) You will have to talk to mom and dad about that.

Ben: I want to play lacrosse! Can I play lacrosse, daddy?

Gordo: Sure. But not this year, buddy.

Ben: Darn it!

Everyone laughed.

Ben and Jeremy also had a good relationship. There was a big age gap between the two of them, but that was probably the reason they were so close.

Ben looks more like Lizzie than anyone in the family. He has blonde hair and brown eyes. He is somewhat short for his age, but extremely athletic. He takes karate, soccer, and in the spring he plans on taking machine- pitch baseball. He played T-ball last year and the year before. He has a classic comical personality. He likes to be the center of attention is not shy in saying that he is smart.

Lizzie: So, Olivia why don't you help Jeremy get his stuff up to his room?

Olivia; (rolled her eyes) Mom! Do I have to? I am eating a Popsicle!

Lizzie looked at the empty Popsicle stick, and back at Olivia.

Olivia: Fine. But I am taking the small bag.

Lizzie: Thank you.

Lizzie disappeared into the kitchen.

Gordo: So, Jeremy, you need anymore help?

Jeremy: No. I can handle the rest.

Gordo: Okay. Jeremy?

Jeremy: Yes?

Gordo: I am glad to have you home. I missed you.

Jeremy: I missed you too, dad.

Gordo watched as Jeremy walked up the stairs into his room, and then went into the kitchen.

Ben followed Jeremy up the stairs.

Ben: I want to help! Can I help? JEREMY! Can I help?

Jeremy ignored Ben's offer to help until he reached his room.

Ben: Can I help?

Jeremy: Sorry, Jeremy. There is nothing for you to help with.

Olivia: I would have gladly given you my bag.

Jeremy: Thank you, Olivia for bringing my CD bag up. (Sarcastically) It must have been really heavy.

Olivia: It's not that. I just have better things to be doing.

Jeremy: Like what?

Olivia: I don't know. Homework. Monday is the last day of school until holidays you know.

Jeremy: So?

Olivia: Oh. Never mind. Here is your bag. I am leaving.

Jeremy: Bye.

Ben: Bye.

Olivia: Sigh.

Olivia shut the door behind her and Jeremy dropped to his bed face down and let out a huge sigh. Ben copied him. Jeremy stayed like this for a few minutes, and Ben did too, until he got tired of doing so.

Ben: Are you finished?

Jeremy moved his face toward Ben.

Jeremy: I guess.

Lizzie: (yelled from downstairs) Ben! I need your help downstairs!

Ben: NOOOOO!!

Lizzie: Right now!

Ben: Arg! FINE!

Lizzie: Thank you. Oh, and Jeremy?

Jeremy: What?

Lizzie: It is time to take your allergy medication.

Jeremy: Okay.

Ben and Jeremy walked down the stairs together and walked into the kitchen, where Lizzie was making a dish for that night while Gordo was working at the kitchen table.

Lizzie: Here, Jeremy.

She hands him a pill, and he swallowed it. Jeremy has been taking allergy medication for a long time. The medicine allowed him to eat chocolate without having an allergic reaction.

Jeremy: Thank you.

Gordo: What are you going to do this afternoon?

Jeremy: I don't know. Probably go online.

Gordo: Cool. You have about two hours before you need to start getting ready for dinner.

Jeremy: Okay.

Jeremy walked upstairs and headed to his room. On his way, he heard Olivia talking on the phone.

Olivia: I am so looking forward to Monday. / Oh I know. / I cannot believe he asked me / I know. He is so nice and cute! /

Jeremy walked away shaking his head. "I don't even want to know what or whom she is talking about," Jeremy thought to himself. Jeremy walked to his room, and headed for the computer. He signed in on instant messenger while he checked his e-mail. All of the sudden, he received an instant message. It is Nick from school.

Nickolater12: So . . .

Nickolater12: How is home?

Lacrosse25: Home is . . . home.

Nickolater12: Is it that bad?

Lacrosse25: It is okay. We haven't done much.

Nickolater12: How is Olivia?

Lacrosse25: Same as she was a month ago. Why? Do you like her?

Nickolater12: Oh you know I do.

Lacrosse25: She might be taken.

Nickolater12: Darn! What makes you say that?

Lacrosse25: I heard her talking on the phone.

Nickolater12: I am so jealous.

Lacrosse25: We are changing the subject. So, how is school?

Nickolater12: Okay. They posted the results of the grades. You did really well.

Lacrosse25: Really? Thanks for looking that up for me.

Lacrosse25: How did you do?

Nickolater12: I did okay. I have a C in Chemistry, but that is okay.

Lacrosse25: That is not bad.

Nickolater12: Easy for you to say. You have all A's. I can still go on the trip, though.

Lacrosse25: Lucky.

Nickolater12: I have to go. Bye! I will send you a postcard.

Lacrosse: Thanks.

Nickolater12 signed off at 04:17:52 PM.

Jeremy signed off as well. He decided he would take a nap before tonight.
