Chapter 9: My Best Friend's Brother

Around eight O' clock that night, you sat on your bed in your pajamas and logged on to Skype on your laptop. On your way home from school you had texted both Mattie and Michelle to log on at this time. You smiled as you found that Michelle was already online, and sent her a chat request.

"Hey!" she greeted as she joined your web chat. "What did you need to talk about?"

You put a finger to your lips. "Patience, Chelles. Wait until Mattie logs on." Conveniently, right as you said this, the shy blonde logged in and joined your chat.

"Hi guys. Sorry I'm a little late. SOMEONE wouldn't stop talking" he said, shooting a furious glance towards somewhere off screen.

"No problem, Mattie" you said. You rubbed your hand together.. Knowing Michelle and Mattie, they'd want this story to be as dramatic as possible, so you were going to milk it for all it was worth. "This" you stated "is an emergency call. Today in the hallway, I tried to rescue the Junior class president from Ivan Braginski." You saw Mattie's jaw drop. "I know, it was risky. Well, I was held hostage by Ivan's goons, when I was rescued by…." you paused and smirked at Michelle.

"WHO?!" she screeched, bouncing up and down on her bed.

You smiled. "Alfred. Jones." You waited for Michelle to finish fangirling and asking questions before looking at Mattie, who was gaping and sputtering. "Anything to add to her questions, Mattie?"

The boy recomposed himself. "That was YOU?" he said in disbelief. "My half brother has been going on and on about how he rescued some 'gorgeous girl' from 'the forces of evil' even since he got home today!"

You blinked. "Half brother. How did I never know you had a half brother? I'm at your house all the time, how have I never seen him?"

Mattie sighed. "He's usually at football practice. Or a party. Or sleeping. Or eating hamburgers. Or-" Mattie cut off as you heard the door to his room open and Alfred's voice started talking.

"Hey, bro! do you know where I put that new zombie game I got? Hey, who are you talking to?"

Mattie paled and waved his hands around. "No one!" he yelled. (Or rather, said in a normal voice, but for Mattie, that WAS yelling.) "Don't come over here" he protested, but the Junior had already made his way over to the screen and seen you.

"Hey….you're that chick from earlier today. Mattie, you didn't tell me you were FRIENDS with her!"

Mattie glared at his half sibling. "You never told me her name. All you said was it was a 'girl with sparkling eyes and wonderfully gorgeous hair and a great body."

Alfred paled. "GAH! Mattie!"

Mattie shrugged. "You're the one who said it. And I'm leaving now. Bye." Alfred started to protest, but the connection cut off by, you assumed, Mattie slamming his laptop shut.

You looked at your screen, which now showed a very amused Michelle. "Looks like you've been busy. Well, as much as I hate to leave you alone to magically seduce more boys" she winked at you "I have to go to sleep. I've got a huge test in French tomorrow, and I'm currently failing that class. Night night." The screen went blank as she logged off and left you alone with your thoughts. You flopped back on your bed. "WHAT am I supposed to do about these guys?"
