"I can't believe you're really leaving all of us behind just because your mom says so! What the hell, Erin?"
"Cody, you know how scary my mom can get. She threatened me big time." I sighed.
"With what?" Dylan asked.
"Well..."
*FLASHBACK*
"If you don't agree to change schools I will have to throw all of your caps away." Mom stated.
*END OF FLASHBACK*
"Let's just say she threatened me REAL good, okay? She says that I should stop hanging out with you guys too just because she's marrying a douche bag with lots of money. Apparently, me being in a gang is a bad image to my soon-to-be step siblings. The f**k I care!" I cursed.
"Your life is just like Cinderella." Evan commented which earned him a death glare from me.
"So what now? How are we supposed to function without our leader?" Dylan asked.
"I guess I will just have to appoint you as the new one." I shrugged.
"So he is your favorite after all..." Cody said with a blank expression on his face.
"No, it's not like---"
"You don't have to explain anything, Erin. I understand perfectly." Cody broke his flip phone in half.
"Hey, don't you go on a rampage again just like last time. It's hard cleaning up after your mess." Evan clicked his tongue.
"I'm choosing Dylan because he's much more stable than you are." I said rather bluntly.
"Fine with me." Evan agreed.
He's the latest member to join our gang so he doesn't really have a choice but to agree.
"I got to run now. Time to meet my new step siblings." I got up from the bleachers.
"Um, I love you guys. You know that, right?" I said before leaving.
"Group hug!" Cody yelled.
"We'll miss you, boss!" Evan sobbed.
"Yeah, we sure will." Dylan tried his best not to shed a tear.

"What took you so long?" Mom questioned me the minute I step foot inside the house.
"I had to say goodbye to my friends. Don't be so heartless."
"You mean those boys who are such a bad influence on you?" She began with the lecture.
'If anything, I'm the one who's the bad influence on them.' I wanted to say.
"Why don't you have girl friends like any normal teenage girl does?" Mom asked.
"Girls are too chatty." Like her for instance, she talks too much.
"What kind of reason is that? Have you finished packing your stuff?"
"Yeah."
"I'm doing this for the both of us, Erin. We need to have a 'change' in our lives and..." Blah, blah, blah.
I couldn't help but fall asleep. Never really good at listening to 'girl talk' or any kind of talks for that matter.

"Sons, this is Erin, your new sister." Ed introduced.
Edward and my mom have been dating for three weeks now.
It hasn't even been a month yet and now we're moving in together with them.
I certainly wouldn't be surprised if they break up all of a sudden.
Ed's filthy rich though so I'm not complaining.
"This is Malcolm, he's a year older than you which makes him a senior." He pointed to a light blonde dude with glasses who looked so uptight with his hair gelled up so neatly. If I was a fly, I'd be careful not to slip on his perfect hair.
He was wearing a freaking bow tie for goodness' sake just like what the kids from chess club wears and he looked like he didn't smile at all. I have a feeling he doesn't talk much either.
"And this is Landon, he's a year younger than you are." Ed averted my gaze to the guy standing beside Malcolm.
This Landon was the complete opposite of his brother. He's a bit taller than Malcolm too.
He wore a simple white shirt and had a dark hair with a black lip ring. Something tells me he's either a rocker or an artist with his messy tousled hairdo.
Both of them have blue eyes.
"Nice to meet you, Erin." Landon abruptly grabbed my hand to shake it.
Oh, and they're British too. Just dandy.
I don't really like spoiled rich brats, to be honest.
I suppose I will just have to avoid them at all times for us to live in peace.
