It was his fault, Dad.. He was calling me names"
"What sort of names? Liar! I was just calling her catty... Like grandma does."
"You know it annoys me"
"Yes I do Yes, I do. And that's why I'll still do it again... Catty"
I pounced on him again and Dad picked me up and sat in a chair.
"You are supposed to be a girl" he said, staring down at me.
"Dad...I am"
"Yet you can beat your brother?"
"He's the one that's acting like a girl"
He looked at Eden and shook his head.
"Stop calling her that and act like grown ups, will you?"
"Yes, Dad." He said.
"I'm sorry, Dad." I muttered.
"Good" he said.
I stuck out my tongue and Eden did too.
"Oh please, he asked us to grow up" I rolled my eyes.
"Yeah Yeah. "
"Who's cooking dinner this night?"
"Eden"
"I'm cooking lasagna"
"I hate lasagna" I cried.
"Your loss" I held in my anger and walked into my room. I rushed out again and opened the refrigerator to check for soda.
"Daaaad! Did you take my soda?"
"Oh... It was for you?" Eden replied.
"Argh." I could mentally see him smirk.
'He will not get me angry. No... I won't give him the privilege. No, I muttered and wore my sneakers.
"Dad, I'm going to get soda. I'm taking a walk. I won't be long"
"In that?"
"what's wrong with wearing your shirt?" I said, slamming the door. His shirt reached my thighs anyway and I'm wearing a white converse with it.
After walking for a while and realizing how dark it is...I regretted the fact that I didn't bring my torch light. I got to the nearby store after some minutes and when I reached the refrigerator there was just one soda left.
Is soda getting extinct or what? Just as I opened the refrigerator's door, another hand picked the last soda. I looked up to see a guy smirking, and opening the can. Slowly he gulped it in and drank it till the can was empty.
He would fit for an advert trust me. The way he kept gulping and his Adam's apple bulged made a good scenery. But trust me, not for me. This guy just pushed my last button.
I pounced on him and with just one hand he pushed Me from reaching him. It's not the fact that he is winning that's paining me now... But the fact that he is making it seem like he's stopping a 5five year old boy from taking back his candy.
I stopped making an effort.
"That was the last.. And it was mine"
"Did I pick it from you? No! So stop looking for attention and go home, kiddo"
"Excuse me? Kiddo? I was here first. I opened the refrigerator first. You outsmarted me"
"There. You have it... Next time try to act faster and use your brain." He said, walking off.
I've never been more disrespected in my life. Who does he think he is? Kiddo? I ran off to the next shop and got my soda and headed back home.

"Alana I swear to God. He directly stopped me with one hand and called me a kiddo. I couldn't pounce on him like I could to Eden-"
"Or Jason"
"Or any of the other guys in our school"
I sighed.
"I hate the guy already. "
We entered class and sat for maths.
"Did you guys hear?" Alana asked before Jason would go to sit
"What?" He asked
"Caleb Anderson. is coming to our school"
"Is he not meant to be in college? He is two years older in school"
"Wait, wait...wait! Who's Caleb?" I asked, not sure of who they are talking about.
"Caleb is Sam's brother. The bad one. Complete opposite of Sam. The black sheep of the family"
"Not complete opposite. As a guy I'll admit to you he is hot and good looking"
"Awwn" I said. They both looked at me like 'is she in her actual senses or she lost them since she got into a fight with the guy?'
"Well, we will see him today. Sam must be mad about that though"
"Why, are they not brothers?"
"So you will prefer to have Eden come to this school?" Jay asked.
"Depends... If him coming means him flaunting his good looks and having girls trip for him Nah... I don't"
Valeria came by.
"Hi cat, hi Al... Hey baby" she said, grinning.
"Hi val. How are you?"
"Fine fine fine. Did you guys hear about the Anderson brother?"
"Sure, We are All waiting for the two year senior to be our mate" I replied, grinning. It was kinda sarcastic and my best friends got the tone already as we burst out laughing. The teacher entered and we all settled to sit.
I looked at my other side and noticed the chair was vacant. It used to be Ethan sitting there but he is not there.
"Is Ethan sick or what?"
"I don't know." Just then, Sam entered and filled his space.
"Hi cat"
"Hey Sam"
"Do you have time this weekend?"
"Sure... "
"Okay,I'll message you later"
"You have my digits?"
"Was about to ask for 'em"
He handed over his phone...
"Uhh..I'll get yours, I don't know mine" I said, embarrassed.
He laughed.
"Ohh. Seriously?"
"Yeah... I never thought it would come out handy" I smiled.
"Okay then" he said taking my hand and writing his digits on it.
Okay that's so cliché. I gave him a sweet smile and saved it on my phone. I called him so he could save my number too and then happy reunion.
I looked over to Alana and saw her taking her eyes off me.
Does she like Sam?
I'll ask her later. Maths teacher entered with a cold looking guy with black hair. It seemed wet and it fell onto his forehead. He was looking down when he came into the class and as soon as he raised his head the girls cooed.
"That's Anderson senior" Alana whispered. I looked over at Sam and saw how he rolled his eyes at his older brother.
'This person looks so familiar.' I thought. I have seen him somewhere and even with everything that was said... I still prefer Sam to him. Even though I like the bad boy aura and the whole black leathered jacket but then.. There is something about him. He typically scanned through the whole room probably looking for his brother but when his eyes landed on me he smirked and then it clicked.
The guy who called me kiddo!
