Trials and Tribulations of Being Me

Summary: His parent's are fighting. His brother misses someone and he sucks at basketball. Not to mention there's something wrong with Kari...*Takari*

(Tk's point of view)

It was cold no doubt. I was huddled in my bed waiting for the heater to turn on. It didn't. I guess my Dad forgot, he usually forgets these things. He's in Los Angles right now on a business trip. Mom's working in her Flower Shop trying to make ends meet for the rent there. I'm at home with my big brother. He was busy talking on the phone with his girlfriend. I can't remember her name right now. I usually don't try too. He has six different girlfriends a week! He did have a girlfriend that he really cared about but she moved two months ago. He hasn't been the same since.

I on the other hand have no girlfriend. Nor do I want one. All they do is whine and complain. By the end of your date all your money's gone and you have to get more for the next date. I mean why bother?

Click.

I guess he's done with the phone. I mean it's been six hours already! Ok, maybe not six but it sure felt like it. My door opened.

"Geeze its freezing in this house," My big brother Matt said.

I guess Matt looks like me. We have the same blonde hair (except his usually has gel in it) and the same blue eyes. But boy when Matt's mad his eyes turn really icy and his head looks like its getting taller! It's kind of hard to explain, I guess you have to be there. Even though you probably wouldn't want to be there.

"Dad forgot to turn on the heater before he left."

"Why don't you turn it back on?" The obvious solution. Of course I thought of that! Did he think I was stupid or something?

"I don't know the code." I replied. Matt thought for a moment. I could tell since he always leans near the door when he does.

"Isn't it 2, 5, 2, 4, 2, T, M?" My eyes widen how on Earth did he know that?

"Dad told me yesterday." He said as if he was reading my mind. I frowned.

"Why didn't Dad tell me?"

"Did you ever ask?" Did I ever ask? DID I EVER ASK?!?!

"Heh.No." Actually that never occurred to me I always thought I never had to ask. He rolled his eyes and walked out of my room.

A few minutes later I felt heat warming up the house. I changed into my normal clothes and walked out of my room to find Matt.

He wasn't in the living room or his room. So that meant he probably was in the bathroom doing his hair. I was right.

Matt spent probably like a hundred dollars on hair supplies a year! I just comb my hair and put on a hat and I'm ready to go. I usually take showers at night. He takes them in the morning, in the afternoon (if he gets the chance) and in the nighttime. I swear sometimes he acts more like a girl then most girls do.

"Are you done yet Matt?" I asked. He opened the door and his hair looked like it was as hard as rock when he came out.

"Do you want to come with me to Tai's house?" Tai was his best friend. He was obsessed with soccer. His little sister-Kari- was about my age. She was one of my best friends. Not girlfriend. Just friend. People often mistake us for boyfriend and girlfriend. It's like they haven't seen a boy and girl hang out before.

"Sure, Kari has this new rap CD she's going to let me listen to." Matt smirked.

"What?" Matt smirked again and waved his hand as if he was saying never mind. I hate it when he does that.

Sorry that was so short but it will get better!

Preview for Next Chapter:

Kari was acting weird. She had make up on and was wearing skirt! There was also something wrong with her eye. She kept blinking it.

Please review!! Thanx.
