it down, ill throw Hail or Jake under it and move out of the way” I said. He laughed “make the plan backfire” he amended. I nodded “exactly” I said. He laughed and walked out of my room “that’s my little sis” he called out approvingly. I snorted “she never left” I said to myself. I walked downstairs and in the kitchen, only to be tripped by Jake, I growled, getting annoyed with his fetish for tripping me. I got up and grabbed the collar of his shirt, pulling him face to face with me, “your lucky I don’t kick your ass right now, I am stronger than the two of you wimps combined, now you best stop tripping me or I’ll show you why I wasn’t scared when I stole moms car” I growled in his face. He looked a little scared, but covered it up with a smirk “I’m not scared of you” he said. I smiled a smug smile “then why is there fear behind your eyes” I said, using my impression of the princess bride. I kneed him in the groin and dropped him to the ground, “Hail, tell me, why is it you wanted to pour paint on my head? Haven’t you learned already that I can kick your ass in a second?” I asked. He looked a little scared too “uh, no, you never do anything at school, and we don’t really think that you can do anything to us” he said, his voice shook ever so slightly. I gasped in fake shock “you don’t remember do you?” I asked. He looked confused “don’t remember what?” he asked cautiously. I came closer “of course, no one would, you wont remember this either” I murmured. He looked full on scared now “what?” he asked. I balled my hands into fists at my side “this” I said. Then I punched him, as hard as I could, across the face. His eyes rolled back in his head and he fell, I caught him before he could fall and then dragged him with me to the couch, Jake was sitting with his hands holding his groin area, he watched as I dragged Hail to the couch and dropped him there, I smiled sweetly at Jake then headed upstairs “you might want to take Hail to the doctors, I punched him pretty hard” I told Jared. He looked unsurprised “I finally got you to realize that you were bigger than them, didn’t I?” he asked. I nodded and walked into my room “I’m proud of you!” he called. I snorted as a reply, “proud of her? Do you realize what she did?” I heard Jake shout. I laughed “of course” he said simply. I walked into my bathroom “oh, Kaila! Come here, I need to tell you something!” Jared called. I sighed and walked out of my room, walking downstairs “what?” I asked. “my good friend is moving out of his moms house, and he needs a place to stay, so I told him he could live here, his name is Kyle, and he should have been at your school today” he said. I nodded “nope, didn’t see him” I said. He nodded “and since I’m transferring, we can all be together” he said in a baby voice. I snorted “uh-huh, yeah, okay Jared” I said, walking upstairs. “you mean… he can stay?” he asked. I froze and turned to him “why are you asking me? This is practically your house, I mean sure, I can kick your ass anytime I want, but still, this is your house, you choose who lives here and who doesn’t, why in the world are you asking me?” I asked incredulously. He laughed “exactly that, you could kick my ass” he said. I chuckled and nodded “and don’t you forget it, this jack-ass did, and look where he is” I said, gesturing to Hail, who was sloppily thrown on the couch. He laughed, “I know, I wont forget it” he said. I nodded once “good” I said. There was a knock on the door, “that must be the maid” I said. I got up and went to the hallway that led to the door, I walked to the door and opened it, a guy stood there with a smile, the guy looked at me, leaning on the door with a blank look on my face “hello, my name is Kyle, and yours?” he asked with a smirk. Kyle had a pretty boy face, his voice was attractive enough, but his eyes were the most beautiful blue, his hair is a kind of blonde, but looked a little brown, his built arms were uncovered, and his shirt was tight on his body. He was hot. I rolled my eyes “Jared, your friend is here” I called, leaving the door open for him. I walked into the living room with a dry look on my face “he keeps that up, and he’s out” I mouthed to Jared. He looked at me and shrugged, confused as to what he needed to stop doing. I rolled my eyes again and walked upstairs “you can show him his room, I am not your maid” I said. “and she should be here soon by the way, so make sure the house stays relatively clean, I don’t want to over work the poor girl” I said as I walked upstairs. “that’s Kaila, my sister” I heard him tell Kyle. I walked into my room and fell back on the bed “oh… uh, Kaila! We have a memory loss!” Jared called. I snorted and got up, I walked downstairs with a groan “who has memory loss?” I asked. He pointed to Hail, who was sitting up and rubbing his neck, “I told him he wouldn’t remember” I muttered. I walked over to him “do you remember what happened?” I asked loudly. He groaned and put his head in his hands “why do I feel like I just hit my head?” he asked. I chuckled “because your head hit my fist that’s why” I muttered. He looked at me, then realization crossed his face “oh, now I remember, Jake tripped you, then you kneed him, and punched me” he said. I nodded once then got up “he’s fine” I said. The doorbell rang “that must be Jean” I murmured, getting up from the couch. I walked to the door and opened it, I almost groaned, again. The girl was hot, with blonde hair, dark green eyes, a perfect figure and a clear complexion. I wanted to cry, “hi, I’m Jean, you called for me on the phone?” she asked. I nodded, gesturing for her to come in “please come in, and I have to warn you, my brothers are pigs” I said. She laughed “don’t worry, I know how to handle it” she said. I smiled and nodded, she seemed to have handled this before “guys, this is Jean, she is our cleaning lady, please, don’t scare her off like you did that poor girl last time” I sighed. Jared had that drool face on, and I think Hail had too much of a headache to care. Kyle just looked at her as if she didn’t matter to him, Jake looked as if he was ready to pounce, I shot him a warning glare “okay, I’m sorry to have to do this, but Jake’s room is the first room you’ll be visiting” I said, walking her with me upstairs. I stopped in front of Jakes room, “again, please forgive my family, my brother in particular” I murmured, opening the door. Jean looked amused at my pleading for forgiveness, she looked around “its not as bad as some of the houses I’ve seen” she said shrugging. I sighed in relief, “then you can do it without dieing of the smell?” I asked. She laughed and nodded “of course” she murmured. I wanted to fall on my knees and thank the lord for this miracle he has brought me “thank you, you don’t know how long I have waited for someone like you” I laughed. She smiled and nodded “well, I’d better get to work, ill go get my things from the car” she said. I nodded and left her to her business, I walked into my room, smelling the clean air. I sighed and fell on my bed, cuddling my pillow, I think I fell asleep, because the next thing I know, my alarm is signaling me that I must wakeup, I groaned and rolled out of bed, falling onto the palms of my hands, I always did this, it was very fun. I got up and went into my bathroom, bringing my clothes with me, I started the shower and jumped in when it was hot enough. I washed my hair and body quickly, shaved, then jumped out, grabbing my towel and drying off, I brushed my teeth and put deodorant on, then dressed, I left my hair to dry by itself, I think it looks fine natural, so I never do anything with it. I put some lip gloss and mascara on, then some bear minerals foundation. And I was done. I walked out of my bathroom, it takes about an hour for my hair to dry, which is weird because of how much there is, but I don’t complain, I usually wake up an hour before I have to go to school so its dry by the time we leave. I walked downstairs, getting my breakfast, I looked at my phone, then I looked at the date on my phone and groaned, its Saturday! I woke up for nothing? Ugh! I walked back upstairs and ripped my alarm clock out of its socket, raising my hand to throw it “you shouldn’t break your clock, it was only trying to help” I heard an annoyingly attractive voice say behind me. I lowered my hand and looked behind me, Kyle stood there in his boxers, no shirt, half naked. I almost groaned, almost. I shot him a dry look but set my clock back down, plugging it back into the wall, when I got back up, I realized that Kyle was right behind me “uh, I’d appreciate it if you backed up… just a tad” I said. He smirked and moved closer, I bit my lip “Kyle, that is the opposite of what I meant, and, if you saw what happened to Jake and Hail last night, you wouldn’t be doing th-” I was cut off by his lips on mine. He put his arms around me and pulled me to him, I almost lost control and kissed him back, the feel of his soft chiseled chest, his broad shoulders, those lips… yep, I lost control, I kissed him with hunger, passion, and urgency, but then I regained my composure and pushed him away gently. “that was nice” I said dryly as I went to the door. I opened it and walked out, hiding the slight smile that crept up onto my lips. I walked downstairs and into the kitchen, getting the cereal out of the cabinet and the milk out of the fridge, I grabbed a bowl and then poured the cereal, I opened the milk, and the smell hit me like a wrecking ball, I sniffed the milk cautiously and almost gagged, it was bad, really bad. I groaned and grabbed the keys to my car that I never feel like using… or cant use because of my over protective brother whom I am not scared of. I walked out the door and started the car, revving the engine, I drove to the grocery store, my mind intent on milk. I walked to the fridge isle and grabbed the cold milk, I got to a cashier and paid for it. Walking out to my car, I heard the squealing of tires, suddenly, my brothers red Gt500 Shelby stopped beside me “Kaila, what did I tell you about driving?” he asked.
