Read and Review
Courtney POV
First day of school and the house looks like a scene right out of the movie 'Cheaper by the Dozen',
"Okay everyone STOP" my saving grace and mother yelled from her spot in the kitchen
"Relax you guys are not going to be late, you are ahead of schedule by an entire half an hour" she announced
"Really?" Leo and Levi chorused….you do not know how agitating that crap is
"Yes now sit down and eat your breakfast before you get dressed" dad smiled before sliding the plates onto the breakfast bar
"Vaughn get back down here" my mom called not even bothering to look up from the plates she was sliding her pancakes onto
"How'd you, uh forget" he huffed turning back around on the steps and making his way over to the breakfast bar
"So mom dad maybe you can help us with something" Cason grinned, I groaned throwing my head back they were really going to do this
"What?" dad asked cautiously, they had one of their looks that usually ended up with them breaking something or getting into the weirdest situations.
"Maybe you two can help us convince Courtney here to join the basketball team" Bryce grinned
"Uh but I don't want to be a professional basketball player" I huffed
"Court you don't have to become a professional but it does look good on your college application as an extracurricular activity" Dad offered, of course he would agree the man was a sports head the entire family were sports heads….yes including me but that is not the point right now
"Yeah what hospital wouldn't want a pediatric surgeon that can sink a three?" Leo added
"But I'm short for a basketball player" I smirked
"Point guard Court they're usually the shortest ones on the court anyway" Levi smirked
"Come on Court Jamie and Maggie are already on the basketball team and Steph's trying out this year you'd be by yourself anyway with all their practice" Vaughn chimed
"Okay fine" I grumbled
"Yes" they all cheered
"3 for the football team and 3 for the basketball team" Levi grinned
"Which isn't fair" Vaughn declared
"Yeah how come freshmen can join boys' varsity basketball but we've got to wait until our sophomore year to join the football team" Bryce grumbled
"Hey at least you don't have to wear ties every day or a polo style shirt" he grumbled
"Best clothing policy ever" Bryce laughed, handing over his plate to mom and following Vaughn and Cason up the steps
I took my shower, I was a sophomore not necessarily the greatest thing but at least I wasn't a freshman, which meant this was the year where I would work my ass off and have my fun everyone knew that Washington Academy rode you your freshman year so much that you were too scared to even try and screw up for the next three years. I got dressed (outfit on profile) and grabbed my bag,
"Mom?" I asked standing at the steps
"Yes" she nodded looking up from the tie she was tying for Levi
"Why do you guys always dress like that?" I huffed looking between the twins and triplets who decided they always had to match (outfits on profile)
"It's fun" Cason, Vaughn, Bryce, Leo, and Levi chorused with their own grins,
I blinked once, "I'm going to go sit in the car" I sighed kissing my mom and dad goodbye and ruffling Ares head on the way to the door, Max was still upstairs sleeping his ass off
"Hey" Sammy declared stepping through the door
"I'll be in the car" I declared again making my way through the door
"Hi Tony" I said pecking his cheek before climbing into the car
"Hey what's up with you?" he grinned glancing at me through the rearview mirror
"I have asshole brothers" I huffed
"Hey" Vaughn declared pulling back his seat so Leo and Levi could climb into the back next to me
"It's true" I glared, moving so Vaughn could push the seat back and sit
"Oh come on Court you can't hold that against us you know that stuff just happens" Cason defended taking his seat and closing the door
"Yeah, and if it makes you feel any better, that last one even creeped us out" Leo chirped
"Yeah, mom and dad made us promise to never do that again" Bryce laughed
"At least someone understands" I huffed
"Yeah don't worry about it it's never happening again, if we have anything to do about it" Vaughn grinned
"On better side of things, Sammy Tony Courtney has something to tell you" Levi grinned
"What?" Sammy grinned looking back from his passenger seat
"The guys finally talked me into trying out for the basketball team" I huffed
"Yes, that's everyone right?" Tony asked
"Yup got the text this morning" Cason grinned brandishing his phone, which means Ethan and Carter got to Kylie
"Wait this was a plan?" I asked
"Yup every Cullen and Hale that attends Washington Academy is either on the football or basketball, or is trying out for the basketball team" Vaughn grinned, I forgot Washington Academy had its tryouts in the last week of July
"Are you serious?" I asked
"Are we serious?" Cason mocked, "Of course we're serious woman this has been in the making since we realized everyone was at either football or basketball"
"Yes according to my calculations there are 6 football players in the family and 6 basketball players in this family" Bryce grinned
"They're going to think we're trying to monopolize the sports teams" I pointed out
"They don't care football has 3 teams and only there's only 3 girls on the basketball team and 3 on the boys basketball teams that leaves two open positions they'll work it out" Vaughn shrugged
"And if we're winning games the hell do they care?" Leo pointed out
"Yeah Washington Academy is a winners school, it's part of their slogan" Levi smirked
"True" I nodded
"Exactly so don't feel bad when you're out there with Jamie and Kylie scoring buckets with Maggie and Stephanie backing you up" Vaughn smirked
"What about your friends?" I asked
"Mark is already on the football team" Cason shrugged, between the three of them they only had one true friend who they trusted and just happened to be Stephanie's brother
"We have no friends" Leo and Levi chorused with a shrug
"That one I will accept" I nodded turning to face forward, the annoying thing was that Leo and Levi were fraternal twin but damn if they didn't look identical and the same with thing with Cason, Vaughn, and Bryce the only real difference was they had different body shapes…well enough for you to tell who was who
"Almost forgot when Basketball season is over you, Kylie, and Jamie will be on the lacrosse team" Vaughn smirked
"We are?" I asked
"Yup remember you promised besides Court you know you guys will love it so why even put up a fight" Cason smirked
"And what will you guys be doing after Football and Basketball season are over?" I asked
"We're joining the lacrosse team too" Leo grinned
"Just you five?" I asked
"No Ethan, Wyatt, and Nicholas are joining too" Levi answered
"There are only 10 spots on the starting lineup" I pointed out
"Yeah we know maybe we'll be back ups you never know" Cason shrugged
"Of course" I nodded
"We're here guys" Sammy announced pulling into a parking spot, next to Kenneth and Freddy's cars and letting us out
"School again" Ethan grinned walking over giving me a hug and kiss on the cheek before joining the boys
"Tell me about, hey guys" Jamie called waving to the boys as she bumped hips with me
"You should've seen mom this morning" Wyatt grinned winking at me and Nicholas waved as they joined the boys
"Aunt Alice ended up getting my dad all gassed up" Kylie huffed as she waved at the boys and joined Jamie and I. I glanced at us and looked over to the boys,
"How'd that happen?" I sighed
"9 boys to 3 girls isn't there some kind of rule against that?" Kylie asked
"It's called birth control" Jamie smirked
"Right like they know what that means" I smirked
"They need to I'm 16 I can't walk into a house and see my mom pregnant" Jamie shivered
"With the rate they do things they may be having kids while we're having kids" Kylie sighed
"Do not go there" I hissed
"Do not go where?" Maggie asked coming up behind me
"To place of feminine products" Mark announced as he made his rounds hugging Jamie, Kylie, and I before joining the boys
"Grow up" Stephanie smirked joining us
"This is a little better 5 to 10 I don't feel so outnumbered anymore" Jamie smirked
"At least their around your age group , you don't have to go home and deal with some crazy ass three year old who swears the Blues Clues is the answer to everything in life" Stephanie ranted
"Bad morning?" I asked
"Yes Casey hid my backpack last night and wouldn't tell anyone where it was so I had to wake up an hour early to plays Blue's Clues just to find my damn bag" she grumbled
"You guys are lucky" she declared
"Not really just because the boys are physically 14, 15, and 16 does not under any circumstances mean they ever act their age" Jamie explained
"Ever" Kylie sighed shaking her head, the bell rung and the kids began to flood into the school while we hung back
"Okay let's go" Kenneth nodded, as he and Freddie took up the back and Tony and Sammy stood on either side of our group and led us through the corridors before dispersing. Kenneth went with Jamie and Ethan to the auditorium where all the juniors were, Tony went with Levi and Leo to the lunchroom where all the freshmen were, while Freddy and Sammy stayed with us in the gym where all the sophomores were.
"Wow they were serious" Vaughn whistled looking around, "The sophomores are small this year"
"I hope it's like this our senior year we'd have fun" Bryce nodded
"Yeah we would" Cason grinned looking around
We spent an entire two hours in that place, between all the teacher introductions, academic chances and opportunities, and handing out our schedules,
"So here's the plan we say in these classes for w week or two get the hang of them then we test out" Vaughn declared
"Definitely Operation Three classes Senior Year is now under way" Wyatt grinned
"You girls in?" Nicholas asked
"Yeah" Kylie nodded looking over her schedule
"Now before you girls forget time for you guys to go sign up for the basketball team" Cason grinned grabbing my hand and dragging us along
"Of course how could we ever forget" I huffed as I let him drag me to the sign-up sheets, where I quickly signed my name
"See the paper didn't eat your fingers" Bryce grinned hugging me tightly,
"Silly me" I grinned
"Is okay Courtney we forgive you" Vaughn grinned, turning and following Sammy and Freddy down the hall to our home room class. We all went straight for the back and easily took up the last two rows
"Hey Guys" Justin smirked making his way to the back, Justin Gray was a gorgeous specimen of a boy, he'd grown a couple of inches over the summer, built just like my dad…all muscles with limber limbs, short and curly blonde hair and bright blue eyes and he was on the wrestling team and was a part of the MMA club that the school got a few years ago after a High School in Winchester created one. Last year he was Tristan Campbell but they broke up and she's dating Pace Carlton a junior that Ethan just so happens to hate, isn't my life fun?
"Why are you assholes always stealing the best seats?" he asked after taking his seat directly in front of me, am I happy? Yes Will I show such happiness in front of a boy? No. I am my mother's child I would never do such a thing.
"Moved to slow man" Mark smirked and shrugged
"Whatever, I heard you guys were trying out for the basketball team" he smirked turning to face Steph, Kylie, and I
"Guilty" Steph nodded
"Good the team could use some help" he grinned
"So are you joining any other teams this year?" Vaughn asked successfully pulling Justin's attention
"Nope I sticking to my sports" he said shaking his head, he turned to ask me something when Mr. Rice walked in calling attention to himself as he went through the attendance.
"Damn that went by quick" Vaughn said climbing into the car
"Speak for yourself that shit took forever, I hate the first week the school is still trying to find it's legs" Sammy huffed pulling out with Kenneth and Freddy behind us, dinner at our place tonight
"The first two days are the best then they starting testing you on everything" Bryce declared
"Hey what did you guys do to Mr. Beacher last year?" Levi asked
"A lot, why?" Vaughn smirked
"He called our name during Living Environment and looked like he'd seen a ghost" Leo explained
"We might have had some innocent fun during labs" Cason smirked
"Courtney?" Levi asked
"They gave that man a heart attack almost every time they went into the lab room" I smiled
"What about Mrs. Fields? She just looks at us like we were the bane of her existence" Leo asked
"She never had cookies, plus is was English class" Cason shrugged
"Should've known you guys would make the cookie joke" Levi sighed
"We couldn't help it" Bryce sighed shaking his head
"Yeah and half the time she walked straight into it, what were we supposed to do?" Vaughn shrugged
We pulled up in front the house and piled up and made our way in to find, Ares happily following Max around in his walker with mom and Aunt Rose watching a car show…picturesque scene for a normal family? No. Picturesque for the Cullen and Hale family? Yes.
"Hi guys" Aunt Rose smiled looking away from the T.V.
"Hi mommy" Ethan grinned making his way over to Aunt Rose, while Vaughn, Cason, Bryce, Leo, Levi, and I went straight for our mom attacking her for our own hug and kiss before settling down
"So how was it?" she asked
"Horrible" Sammy declared taking a seat in a lazy boy
"Really?" mom smirked
"Yes the first week always sucks" Tony grumbled taking his own seat
"And how do you guys feel?" Aunt Rose asked
"Well Courtney and Kylie's names are on the paper so there's no backing out of it now" Vaughn grinned
"Plus Vaughn, Cason, and Bryce ruined two of our teachers and Courtney let it happen" Levi declared
"Yes of course I did" I said rolling my eyes
"Mrs. Fields and Mr. Beacher?" Mom asked
"Yes" Leo nodded
"Not again" mom sighed
"Break out the Scotch" Aunt Rose giggled
"Hey where's Uncle Em?" Wyatt asked
"Bathroom" Aunt Rose sighed
"Hello, Hello" Aunt Alice announced making her way through the door, with Uncle Jazz following her
We sat around stomach full watching Repo Men, like it was damn comedy…yes okay I found it hilarious but other people said this was supposed to be movie that was 'scary'…..I don't see it heck this entire family doesn't see it, Guess that's a part of life when your grandparents are Nana Rene, Esme, and Lillian and Papa Charlie, Carlisle, and John.
We watched as a Jude Law's character Remy dropped a type writer on a repo guy's head before the house was filled with roars of laughter before silence to make sure Max didn't wake up before returning back to the movie. Not normal I say.
