Sadie

As sun shone the room, Sadie pulled up her covers so that the sun won't shine on her eyes. She reluctantly got out of her sleepy state and shuffled to the rest room.

She looked at herself with wet hair.

Your finally sixteen. She thought to herself. Matured and grown up.

Sadie felt giddy. She hasn't seen her idiot of a brother for months since he moved to New York with Uncle Amos. Sadie also didn't seen his girlfriend, Zia Rashid, for months too.

Now, they'll be here. I can finally see them. Sadie thought as she dressed up in her usual outfit. Battered jeans, White shirt, Leather Jacket, combat boots. She tied her 'tyet' necklace around her neck. A gift from her mother.

Her mother….

Sadie sighed as she brushed her hair. She missed her mother she would talk to her that how much she grown, she would brush her hair, she miss those moments.

As she put some blue dye, she couldn't help wonder, would she ever meet her prince charming? Sure, there's one boy, Walt Stone, but he hardly notice's her. Her friends, Liz and Emma, always teases her that her prince charming will be coming when she's sixteen. Should she really believe that?

A knock on her door made her broke out of her thoughts, she swirled around to find her brother with a present at his hand. Sadie's face broke into a grin.

" Carter!" She called and hugged her old brother for good times sake.

" Yeah, Yeah, happy birthday Sadie" Carter chuckled. He hugged her sister and let go. Sadie walked towards where Carter placed his gift and opened it. Revealing a bracelet with an infinity design.

" It's beautiful. I love it. Thank you, Carter" Sadie hugged his brother. He chuckled.

" now, Carter, carry me to the kitchen!" She praised. Carter groaned and plopped himself in Sadie's bed.

" But, I still have jet-lag shoulders from the flight" Carter protested. But, Sadie didn't care one bit.

" You came here 11:00pm and I broke curfew just to see you. And you had plenty of rest." Sadie said.

" You Little—" Carter stammered but was stopped when Sadie jumped into Carter's shoulders.

" Carry me to the kitchen, butler!" Sadie exclaimed while Carte groaned in Sadie's weight.

" Do you weigh like 67 pounds? You're heavier than a pig" Carter joked. He got rewarded with a spank in his head. " Ouch!"

" Shut up!"

When they reached the kitchen, Carter collapsed into the couch while Sadie strolled over to the kitchen where her father was making her a stack of pancakes.

"Morning sweetie." Her father greeted as he kiss her temple. " Baked you stack of pancakes. With strawberries. Where's your brother?"

Carter groaned in response. Sadie chuckled " He's in the living room. Tired."

Julius gave his daughter a curious look but shrugged it off. " Why don't you eat? You're going to be late for school."

Sadie nodded and climbed into the high stool of the breakfast bar. Her dad gave her food and she munched on it. A few minutes later, Carter came in, massaging his shoulders.

" You should exercise." Carter said as he accepts his platter of pancakes. Sadie looked at her father and grinned. Julius took the note.

" She is, Carter. She goes outside every 6:30 am and exercises." Their father said.

" Not you too, Dad" Carter groaned.

Sadie slapped his shoulder " Now, Now, don't be a stick in the mud, Carter. Bye, Dad. I'm going."

" Bye, Sadie. Happy Birthday" The two men said as the girl walked out of her house and onto Burbank high.
