Chapter Two
I pulled my hair. My six year old sister ran into the room. "Mom says you have to babysit me!" She sang ginger hair bouncing in its pigtails. Her blue eyes were closed. I closed my eyes and sighed. My mom had married a man named Roger six years before.
"Why can't The Nurse do it?" Over the years I had formed the ultimate nickname for my twin who LOVED Doctor Who.
"Mom says she's going through a bad time." Tess silenced for a moment to hear Megan.
"I WILL NOT MARRY YOU THEO! NO NOT EVEN IF YOU PAID ME!" Then a slam of the phone was heard.
"Megan has a stalker" Tess added. I looked worried. No one but Cameron, Megan and myself knew that Theo had raped Megan. Even Theo didn't know. (I hate paradoxes I thought) "And she has a date tonight."
"Really who?" Megan NEVER went on dates. Even when Cameron, wait scratch that EVERYONE urged her to.
"A guy named..." Tess looked up. "Jeremy" A mix of surprise, anger, and sorrow crossed my face. The group knew who was going to be with who. I glanced at my notebook which held a five-year-old piece of paper.
Ulrich+Yumi
Kayla+Odd
Megan+Cameron (okay so they ran into the whole ghost and human thing... and still haven't solved it. They'll work through it)
Jeremy+Aelita
And finnaly in small print, as a joke, this was written.
Aaron+Sissi
Sissi had given up on Ulrich and went after Aaron. So Tess had broken into my room and redone the list.
Ulrich+Sissi
Kayla+Odd (the only thing right in this world)
Jeremy+Yumi
Megan+Theo (not a chance)
And finnaly the holy grail of wrong romances.
Aaron+Aelita.
Yeah life was NOT sweet anymore. I had to catch a plane at six am and babysit a twerp with a surprisingly late bedtime of ten. My mom was too insane with Robert to notice. Great. Well one month in Hawaii will cure all this. I hope
