High School Teenagers

Chapter Six. *Raleigh's Diary*

Writer in Facts

Aiden is the least ever known to be in the house. He's Kaden's younger brother by five minutes. Both two different; no, very different persons. Extremely different boys. Aiden's the artistic writer while Kaden's the simple sonovabitch that Mom created. Aiden has brown hair, a mixture of brown and hazel eyes and he the youngest fraternal twin to Kaden. Mom says that my father 'air quotes' makes the boys and she makes the girls. Adam and Axilla and Gemma would give her deadpan glares before going back to their business. Dad would just snicker at her and barely just ignore her. Dad mumbles a lot when he's in Mom's presence; a little like Gabe who's known for it. Aiden has a Russian sounding middle name. Jaidje. Pronounced Jay-ya; Gemma says it comes from Finland.

It's lunch, and the most annoying and best part of the day. Chloe and I prefer to sit together and Justin and his sister Beverly who has to chime in besides us which I don't mind at all. Beverly is Justin's older fraternal twin sister by six minutes, but she's shorter than he is which would make him look the oldest. They both have very similar bone structures, long dark hair, olive tan skin and dark brown eyes. They're both very close to one another which I find adorable but Chloendyl just has to ruin it. Our lunch tables are custom made long eggshell marble with leather chairs of your favorite color and size choosing and with your name embedded on both sides and every student at White Lake Academy can custom design their chair and name. Our cafeteria is what we call a “Fancy Franchise” and order our lunch a half hour early during one of our classes and the café servers picks up our lunch from the front of the school. Cars from L.As dire restaurants park in the serving school parking lot and the café servers takes our lunches to the cafeteria and put our lunches in through the back of the kitchen.

"Guess who's not going to the game this Saturday?!" Beverly sang in her high pitched voice. Justin and Chloe and I groaned as she sat beside me barely pushing Oliver outta the way. Zooey wasn't far behind and she made herself comfortable next to Aaron.

"I know I'm not," Oliver said and Aaron chimed in after him. Chloe yawned giving off her the I'm bored and I don't care stance which meant whatever you do, don't bring Chloe into the air unless it's something she'd like; or if that involves her.

"Well, Cooper Jameson and Jameson Blur are having a party after the game," Beverly squealed and hugged her brother spilling his applesauce all over himself. Chloe's face is now relaxed on her jawline and she chewed her mozzarella stick eyeballing Beverly West.

"Should I pull out the pom poms and sing the White Lake Academy theme?" Logan chimed himself in. I looked around our table seeing eight of my brothers, my sister and her friend, and my boyfriend and his sister. The table felt like it was about to collapse under our weight.

"No, and you look f*****g ugly in a dress," Dylan said. "Chloe and Raleigh dressing you up in Mom's makeup and dresses scars me through my head." The twins and the West twins laughed, my twin brothers' faces turning pink and Justin and Beverly's turning red.

"You and me both," Logan said now chewing on his straw. I looked at Chloe whose face was turning into a beet red look. Me and Chloe have done some serious and devious, and mad scientist-s**t to our brothers.

When we were in fifth grade, we both came up with a plan to make Aiden's history, and science project in one backfire on him. The science project was on a book report that me and Chloe burned and the history project was on Albert Einstein. We gelled his hair up, with cement. My idea.

"Well, maybe you and Ivan can go with me," Beverly said now eyeballing my brother. She gave a genuine smile but Ivan groaned.

"No way, I already have second period with that little gizmo," Ivan said. "I'd rather permanently borrow things with Gabe." A smile appeared on both me and Gabe's faces.

"Welcome aboard, brother!" Gabe said getting up and putting a hand out to give Ivan a high five but Ivan gave him a "sit yo ass down," glare quickly making Gabe take his seat. Ivan rolled his eyes and shook his head and turned to Beverly.

"But no I am not going with you to that Tweetie Birds house," Ivan continued, "the last thing I need is to come back here being called the partier of the family. And we have enough partiers in this family," Ivan looked at Oliver, "and don't let me get started on the permanently borrowers in this family," Ivan looked over at Gabe before looking over at me.

"Blame Romanleo not Bloomclaire," I said speaking my language which is a hint of sarcasm and just our middle names. "Accuse me again, I swear by my pretty pink floral bonnet... I will end you."

"I blame Gabriel for a lot of things," Ivan said, "he pulled our innocent sister into the game of permanently borrowing." Chloe looked at Ivan and threw her arms up.

"Don't I look innocent enough?" she wanted to know sounded offended by Ivan's choice of words. "I should be the innocent one. I'm still single and I don't Catch Chickens."

"Speaking of Catching Chickens, how come you and Raleigh are still here?" Beverly asked her twin brother before making herself comfortable by sticking her fork in my chicken salad.

"We were caught by Fatso," I said, "he gave us two days detention."

"In one week?" Kaden said, I nodded putting a forkful in my mouth; "Gabe, you totally took our baby sister's innocence."

"I have two detention days today after school," I said, chewing. "Both from Becklash."

"Why'd you do it?" Kaden said sounding very dramatic and clinging on to Gabe's arm. "Why'd you murder the innocent little girl?!"

"Because we already have one innocent little girl," Gabe pointed at Chloe. "Why do we need another? I'm sure every brother wants a sister who's fun to hang out with."

"I'm innocent?" Chloe smiled, her head popped up from her plate. "Awe, Gabe called me innocent." She looked at Zooey and smiled.

"That's because you are," I said, "you're not fun, you're not outgoing. You're just a talking Barbie doll." Aaron and Gabe and Oliver both choked on their Sprite; Aiden and Ivan's soda sprayed across the table.

Chloe's lips pursed and she slowly reached over to my salad bowl and smashed her hands into my lunch crumbling it with her fingers, and brought her hand up in front of me. I dropped my jaw and looked at my brothers and the twins and Zooey for confirmation and no one said a thing.

"Not so innocent now, am I, sis?" She said and flung her hand making my lunch break away from her hand and making a mess and turning to Gabe who grinned and nodded his head agreeing with her and gave her a high five.

"I'd say no, but you won't be certified as one until you permanently borrow something from the school and Catching Chickens," I said and smiled, "without getting caught."

"I ain't losing my innocence like that," Chloe said. I gave my sister a grin and Gabe snickered in his lunch trying not to laugh in Chloe's face. Chloe looked at us not amused. She wiped her hands off with a damp cloth that she carries with her just in case her makeup has some other plans, which it does when Blake and Gabe and I are around.

"Well that's the only way to get certified and lose that innocence of yours," Gabe said taking a sip of his soda again and sliding his tray into the trash bin at the end of our table. "Having two Permanently Borrowing sisters will be a million times better than one sister," Gabe added, now flipping through his phone. I blushed and looked at Chloe who didn't say a word to him but she did look pissed off, like how my parents look pissed off after me or Gabe or both of us super glue one of our maids and brothers and sister to something that's close to someone. Like Oliver's favorite pots and pans together, and super gluing Dylan to his drum set.
