Ayanna Quintan

chapter six

"I will punch you"

"No you- No, No Sorr-" 

I stood at the stairs listening to the rustling in the kitchen but then a loud thud caused all other sound to fall silent. 

"f**k! Ow!" 

"He warned you" 

I walked into the kitchen to see Ambrose sipping on his coffee. Wyatt was slumped on a chair while holding his jaw. His face was bright red and I could tell he was in pain. 

I looked to the third presence who I didn't know but he was looking at Wyatt with a triumphant smirk. His dark hair was tasseled and his blue eyes were locked on Wyatt. He almost looked happy to see him in pain.

Suddenly his eyes snapped to me and all expression dropped from his face until it was just a blank canvas.

I turned away from his gaze and looked to Wyatt.

"Are you okay?" I asked him

"No, that prick punched me in the face" he managed to say 

I seen the boy step an inch forward as if he was threatening Wyatt but stopped when he caught me staring at him with my best 'don't you dare' look. 

"They're best buds really" Ambrose directed towards me

I heard a scoff come from the third guy. Apparently he really disagreed with my brothers statement. 

"Ayanna, this is Azande" 

I nodded towards Azande so I could greet him but I chose not to speak since he hadn't set the best first impression. He had hurt Wyatt for god sakes. 

"I'll get you some ice" I told Wyatt

He didn't speak and I understood why, poor boy already had his arm in a sling and now he's got a bad jaw to add to the list. 

I placed the ice against his face which made him pull back from the sudden coldness. 

"s**t that's cold" he hissed 

I laughed at his words and pressed the ice back against his jaw. I could feel a pair of eyes on me as I did this. I looked towards Ambrose but he was busy buttering up a piece of toast which only left one other person in the room. 

Wyatt took to the bag of ice from my hands so he could hold it himself.

"Thank you" he whispered 

"You're welcome" I smiled 

I walked over to Ambrose and quickly grabbed the piece of toast that he had just finished adding butter to.

"Oi" 

He attempted to swat my hand away but I was too fast. I bit a big chunk out of the toast and smiled towards him.

"That was mine" he complained 

I shrugged and walked away back upstairs to collect my school belongings. When I returned downstairs with my school bag, I was glad to note that there was no arguing between Wyatt and Azande. 

Zander had also arrived at some point, they all sat on the sofas lazily watching TV. Didn't they have a Tv at their own houses?

"Ready?" 

Ambrose snuck up behind me which caused me to jump. I heard Zander and Wyatt laugh at me.

"don't do that" I huffed 

"morning Ayanna, heard you had to baby sit this one?" Zander said while pointing to Wyatt

"Yeah, that's right" I said while shooting Azande a glare to which he ignored

"I'll be back soon" Ambrose told the guys before turning me towards the door.

"Let's go kid" he said ruffling my hair 

"Hands off my hair!" 

"That's for taking my toast" he replied 

"Yeah what ever" 

I took my seat in his jeep and watched out the window. Here comes another day of school.
