I went back to my room. Or, soon to be old room. As I entered Jared had his arms wrapped around Melanie and were laying on the bed. They were whispering to each other.
This was one of the reasons why I didn't like sharing a room with two love birds, especially when one's your sister.
"Gah," I choked out.
Melanie looked at me, along with Jared. Her face was a shade of pink. Jared looked a tad annoyed.
"S-sorry," I stammered. I could feel my face warming up.
"Ah, don't worry about it," Melanie said.
"Uh, well, I'm just getting my things out. So . . .yeah."
"Why?" Melanie looked at me confused.
Telling them I would be sharing a room with Mandy was kind of embarrassing. Not kind of, it was. They would definitely tease on this one, but eventually they'd find out from Big Mouth Jeb.
So I had no other options.
"I'm going to share a room with Mandy. So er-you can continue." I grabbed my bag of clothes.
"Wait, Jamie."
I looked up and Melanie was looking at me sad. "You don't have to go."
I do.
"It's fine Mel. And seeing my sister making out isn't working out."
Melanie's face turned a darker shade of pink.
"But Jamie . . ."
"Let him go Mel. He obviously wants to be with Mandy. He is a boy."
I didn't like the way he said it.
"Oh." She looked at me older sisters did when they black mail you.
"Yeah, gotta go." I grabbed the rest of my stuff and desperately walked out the door.
"Behave yourself Jamie!" Melanie yelled.

Older sisters, you love them, but sometimes you wonder if you would get away with kicking them.
I then I realized I had left Mandy and didn't know where the room was.
Good one Jamie.
Just walk around the place with your things, looking like an idiot.
I went to Doc's office hoping Jeb wouldn't be there.
There was Jeb.
"Hey Jamie, you having a swamp meet?"
Smart-ass.
"Ooo, watch what you're thinking Jamie." He grinned.
"Jeb, um, where's the room?" This was so annoying.
"Jamie, you didn't ask where the room was? Or walked Miss Mandy to her room. I'm shocked." He grinned wider.
Just ignore him. Just ignore him.
"Am I that annoying Jamie?"
"Yes!" I snapped.
He lost his grin. "Well, I'm hurt."
Faker.
He looked at me. "You see right through me Jamie."
"Just take me to the room."
"Alright, alright. Don't get your panties in a twist."
Ignore him. Ignore him.
Jeb chuckled to himself.
We walked down the halls until I saw an unfamiliar area. It was around where the new people slept.
Lovely.
The Three Stooges Brothers, and the Pigheaded Cousins.
"This one yours." He moved the curtain.
Mandy was sitting on the bed. Beside her Josh. Talking to her.
I didn't know why, but my blood started to boil.
I wasn't going to lie. The Robinson brothers were all good looking.
"You have completion kid," Jeb muttered to me.
I glared at Josh's back of his head.
"Wow, no comeback. You must be pissed."
Mandy looked up at me, then smiled. "Hey Jamie. Hey Jeb."
"Hey there doll face," Jeb said.
Josh turned and saw us. I could see he wasn't so happy to see us.
Good. I wasn't happy to see him either.
"Hey," was all he said. He saw me carrying my things.
I dropped my things in a corner and plopped on the bed next to Mandy, just to piss him off.
He looked at me funny.
"Like my room Josh?"
He then looked back at Mandy.
"If you're ever bored don't hesitate to stop by."
Like that would happen.
"Thanks." Mandy looked uncomfortable.
Josh got up and left.
Good riddance.
"Well I'm going to grub." Jeb then walked out too.
We sat there quiet for a while.
"So what did Josh want?"
She looked at me. "Nothing much really. Just how I was doing. And, uh . . . that's it I guess."
She looked away.
Then I looked at the room.
It was pretty empty.
"Where's your things Mandy?"
I saw nothing that belonged to her.
"I don't have anything."
That's right.
"I'll get you some new clothes, if you want."
"That would be nice."
She was over thinking something.
"Um, Jamie . . ."
I turned to her. "Yeah?"
"Can, you, uh, take me to take the bath?" I saw her cheeks turn pink. It was pretty on her skin.
"Cause, I forgot how to get there." She looked down.
It took me a while to actually hear her. "Sure."
I just sat there.
"Um, right now. Please."
"Oh, yeah. Right."
Nice one Jamie.
I got up and Mandy followed me.

We enter the dark room. I brought a flashlight.
"Here you are," I said.
"Thank you." She walked to the little pool.
I looked the other way and started to walk out.
"Wait! Jamie!"
I turned around and my flashlight went on her.
She was stripping her clothes but froze. She had her underwear still on and put her shirt in front of her chest.
"Sorry!" I looked away.
"It's okay, but don't leave. Stay, please."
I was confused.
"Cause, I don't want to be alone."
She was scared.
Cute.
"Sure." I sat on the ground and listened to her as she splashed.
"Thanks."
I waited for her, and I didn't mind.
I heard her get out and put her clothes back on.
I heard her walk towards me and tapped my shoulder. "I'm done."
I got up and looked at her.
She smelled good and looked clean. Her long hair was a little messy from the water.
"Do you have a comb I can borrow?"
"Yes."
She smiled at me. I grabbed her arm and led her out.

Okay so hope you liked it. Yeah I know it's not that detailed. I'm here in Texas right now visiting my family. Four cousins. Only one is my age and the rest is younger. Plus my family, which there's eight of us.
I'm the book worm and I brought my Twilight books. I forgot to bring The Host so I'm typing this by what I remembered. Also I really don't have time to type since I'm always taking care of my little cousins.
It doesn't help that the cousin my age has so much drama. Her stupid ex-boyfriend wanted to get back with her but I told him off and now he wants to get with me. So stupid and I got into a fight with her best friend who isn't a good friend. She such a hater!!
Please review. This is where I take out my anger by typing. PLEASE RREVIEW!
Thank you to justanothercrazybrunnet and Mistaken Nightmare 13!
Please review so I know someones reading and I'm not wasting my time! )
