My brother glared at me but I only waved and ran up the stairs to my room. Once in my room I locked the door and walked into my closet. Realizing I don’t have anything in the closet I walked back out of it to my backpack. Searching through it I took out a black tank top, blue acid washed skinny jeans and a black pull over jacket. Putting it all on I hummed along to a song stuck in my head. Putting on black and white vans I couldn’t wait to skate board. Unlocking my door I walked out and ran into Logan. Bumping my head I realized how hard his chest is. Taking a step back I placed my hand on my head and mouth the word ouch. 

“Sorry,” Logy said with a grin. I’m not sure he is really sorry; I thought to myself and raised an eyebrow. He laughed and I rolled my eyes. He turned around and I hopped onto his back unexpectedly. 

“What,” I asked as he turned his head with a confused look. I laughed and shook my head. He shrugged and walked down the stairs carefully. Reaching the bottom all of the guys looked at us, Nathy and Darren rolled their eyes and Kayla looked all lovey dovey on us. Kyle held his skateboard and looked eager to ride it. Smiling I jumped off Logy’s back and took his hand pulling him into the garage. Looking around I saw only 2 cars and a bunch of skateboards. Nothing has changed, I thought to myself and dragged Logy towards the other side where my black and purple skinned skateboard sat. Picking it up I heard Logy laugh.

“I remember the first time you rode that, you fell onto your butt but didn’t give up.” I reminiscence on the scene and saw a 5 year old me falling in the middle of the street, I didn’t cry just got up again. Nodding I smiled and handed Logy his skateboard. We maneuvered through the garage back to the guys. All of the guys talked and walked out of the house, Logan and I following behind them. Once we were on the side walk I got onto my skateboard and watched as Logy was having a hard time while riding it. Shaking my head I kicked off the pavement and speed towards Nathy in the front. 

“So how you doing Nathy,” I asked casually as I followed where he was going. He smiled brightly and turned. As I turned in the corner of my eye I saw Logan catching up. About time, I thought to myself. 

“Good, you Val,” he questioned as we approached the skating park. 

“Excellent,” I answered getting off my skateboard waiting for Logan. When all of the guys went over to do tricks Logan finally caught up and stood next to me. Rolling my eyes he put his arms around my waist and looked around. Most guys were staring at me then hatred exploded towards Logy. 

“I guess you didn’t skate much when I was gone,” I stated pulling his attention away from the strangers. He shook his head and hugged my waist tighter as 4 guys walked up to us. 

“I didn’t,” he admitted ignoring them also. Getting back on my skateboard I smiled at Logy telling him to follow me with my eyes. Quickly riding over to the guys I laughed for no reason. 

“I’m so bored,” I complained while skating near my brother, he didn’t pay attention to me only to his wifey Kayla. Geez, he needs to get a life. For a whole hour we did nothing but skate and avoid weird strangers. When we were back at the house no one took time to stop and went straight to their rooms. 

“Weird people,” I said seriously, in response Nathy and Logan just stared at me with this weird expression.

“What?”

 “Like you’re the one to talk,” Nathy retorted rolling his eyes. Time caught up to us while were just talked in the living room leaving me sleepy.

“Night, night weird people,” I whispered half asleep.

~ The next morning I was awoken by a loud crash, without even blinking I got out of bed and started to walk towards the door. Running down the starts I searched for a broken item and a guy. I bumped into Kayla who was also trying to find out about the mysterious crash. 

“Who dares wake me up so early in the morning? I like sleep,” she murmured, but even though she was still asleep her voice was fierce and obviously annoyed. Letting a small laugh I follow her into the kitchen where I saw a broken plate, but no one in the crime scene. Kayla threw her hands up and walked out of the room to my brother. If it wasn’t so early in the morning I would’ve laughed so much at her actions, instead I smiled a little and ran after her. Biting my finger I tried to wake up fully, but it didn’t work. My brother, Kayla, and I all sat on the couch in the living room thinking of suspects, before calling down everyone.

“Hey it’s only my second day here, what am I suppose to know besides a bunch of hairy werewolves that turn into guys live here,” I questioned while leaning back into the fluffy couch. They both gave me the look that told me to shut up and help. My only response to that was my eyes rolling and a small huff. 

“Doesn't Nathy get up the earliest,” Kayla asked, snapping her small fingers if she came up with something wonderful. Except it only brought me raise my eyebrow in wonderment. 

“By the way, why are you here, this isn’t even your house. You even know the regular schedule of the guys, so that means you’ve been here a lot of mornings,” I looked at her with piercing eyes, like a lion picking at its prey. 

She just laughed then said the strangest thing, “Elephants have weird textured skin, it’s all smooth, but it’s also  rough.” The only thing that came to my mind was that she had the weirdest distraction.

“Anyhow, Nathaniel doesn't get up this early, you must be seeing things Kayla,” Darren insisted, taking the attention away from Kayla. Well that's obvious that she stays, I thought with a little smirk. I have an advantage now.

"Just go look in every room and see who's awake and who's not," I suggested and then yawned telling myself to go back to sleep. Before getting off the couch I saw a shadow behind the curtain in the living room. With a little smirk I pointed to it and Darren went to see who it was. Instead of a guy hiding it was a girl, who of course was dressed like a slut. The famous Ms. slut, geez I didn't know that they could get up this early, I thought to myself.

"Why are you here," Kayla inquired with an annoyed tone, and if she wasn't half asleep I'm pretty sure that it would've been an alpha tone.

"Revenge, that little ugly girl took my man away and she only came yesterday, she must be some kind of devil. It annoys me so much, she's such a slut," she answered while twirling her bleached blonde hair with her fake nails. Darren grabbed her by her wrist and yanked her out of the house. He obviously didn't like hearing those things about me that made me smile. Who's the best big broski in the world, Darren is. 

"Okay I'm going back to bed," Kayla told then disappeared off to my brother's den. I laughed half heartedly then made my way up to my room. Plopping down on my bed I slowly start to fall asleep, and when I was about to Dave came into my life once again. Picking up my pillow I stormed out of my room, to find Kayla with her own method of getting Dave to shut up. I looked over at his IPod dock and found that it was shattered. 

"Oh my, Kayla you CAN be bad-ass," I complimented her and smiled in admiration. Dave gave me the finger underneath Kayla who was strangling him with his pillow. Darren walked into the room and went straight to Kayla, then picked her up off of Dave and carried her out of his room. It took all I had not to laugh at the coughing Dave while he was rubbing his neck in discomfort. 

"That's what you get for playing music in the morning, god how I love Kayla all the more now," I sang then skipped over to Logan's room in a heavenly good mood.
