This is a weird little thing I wrote because I needed to write something
and I didn't feel like writing any of my normal fics. You can review if you
like and I will carry on if you want me to, but it may just stand on its
own.

Have you ever felt like you're the loneliest person in the world? I have. It's hard but I've managed it. You know when you find the one place in the entire world where you can be alone and no one can bother you? I love that. It's very weird that the only place I can do that is where people surround me. At home.
My house is always filled with people. No matter what day, what time, what place or even what room you're in you can always guarantee that there will be at least one other person in there. So here's my life, laid out in full. But first, I'll have to introduce the characters that dominate my life.
My Dad. Rupert Giles. He's a great guy, no matter who you ask they will say that. Really. He's a Librarian at my school and it's great. Loads of other kids would be horrified at the thought of their parent working in the same building as them, but I think it's great. He'll always be there when I need someone. Either to yell to about work or to talk to about friends plus I get a lift home. My dad's a great guy, there's only one mistake he's ever made.
Veronica. The mistake. And before you say anything, she's NOT my mum. She will never be my mum. Ever. Dad's just getting to know her as a friend. Who he likes. A lot. Okay so maybe he's dating her. But it won't last any longer. Two years is long enough. That's when mum died. She was really really sick with Leukaemia and she was getting better for a bit but then she got worse and well... Anyway, Veronica will not last any longer. We wont let her. She's a right cow who gets stressed over the teensiest bit of trouble. We all hate her.
Now by we I mean my siblings and me. I've got four of them, two brothers and two sisters.
Darla. She's my older sister. Born a year before me and always trying to push me around. She thinks that just because she's the oldest, she's the boss. Sometimes she's the stressiest girl on the planet, other times she's actually okay. She's got blonde hair that she's always brushing or washing to make perfect and I don't think she's got any less than sixty pairs of shoes. Apparently you need a new pair for each occasion. I'll never understand her.
Penn. Annoying middle child who thinks he's the tough guy of the family. At twelve years old, he thinks that anyone who speaks about his family or friends the wrong way deserves to be hit repeatedly until they take it back. He's always in trouble at school and I think dad's actually thinking of getting a reservation in the headmaster's office. When he's at home though Penn's actually an all right kid. He likes to stay in his room and plan his next prank but he can be a sweet kid sometimes. Sometimes.
Drusilla. She's my little sister at only eleven years old. She's pretty weird mostly and she likes to talk to her doll that she's had since she was a baby. It's called Miss. Edith and it used to be our grandmum's before she died. It's a freaky little thing with starey glass eyes. I don't know why she likes it so much I guess that just proves how weird she is. Dru always says weird things too and sometimes even Dad doesn't know what to say to her. She rarely makes any sense. But it's rather amusing to listen to her.
William. I guess he's my favourite out of my siblings. He's the baby at only six years old and he loves to be reminded of that fact. He doesn't even mind when we call him Baby, I think it's because that's what mum used to call him. Will's a funny kid. He hates school with a passion because we're not there and he gets a little scared when he's on his own. He loves his brothers and sisters and he hates it if we get mad at him. He's a great kid and he'll do anything to keep us happy even take part in one of Penn's schemes.
That's my family. Weird isn't it? We live in this pretty cool huge house in England. It's so big it's almost like a mansion we even get our own rooms' plus two spares in case anyone comes over to stay. My friends love coming over to stay because they can get away with anything. Seriously we once got away with playing football in the hall, dad didn't even care. Only problem was, Veronica did. She banned us from the telly and grounded us for two weeks until dad said it was fine and it got cut down to one week because of 'safety issues'.
My friends are all cool. All of us kids go to the Simon Langton Grammar School except for William who's still in Primary. Darla's in her last year, the year above mine and she hangs out with the most popular group of girls and she's respected by practically everyone. I'm in year ten and I'm not as popular as Darla but most people know who I am. Penn's the tough guy in year eight and he hardly ever does any work. Drusilla's in year seven and she's only got a small group of friends but as long as she's happy, I don't care. William's always complaining that he wants to go to school with us because he hates being the odd one out.
Back to my friends. In my group, there's Buffy, Willow, Xander, Doyle, Wesley and me. We're all friends and no one's dating each other. Willow and Xander were once but they broke up, it was just ruining their friendship so they gave up. Buffy's the cool one, Willow's the smart one, Xander's the funny one, Doyle's the unlucky/clumsy one and Wesley's the shy one. As for me, well I guess I'm the one with the money and the house.
Well that's pretty much it. Oh wait I forgot...
Me. I'm Liam Giles. I'm fifteen years old and this is my life.
