Chapter 1

“Hey stop it!” I yelled at Taylor who was kicking the bed I was sitting on. I was on the top bunk waiting for Isaac to get back from the bathroom, it was the 5th time he had went in there in an hour.

“What?” asked Taylor with a sly smile on his face.

“Your kicking the bed!” I shouted jumping off and walking over to the mirror.

My name is Haley Mezzara. Im living with the Hanson family for a couple of months while my parents are away. They own a big Oil Company in Texas and are always moving and traveling. We moved here to Tulsa about 6 months ago. This is actually the longest we have ever stayed in one place. We’ve lived in 6 different states, but since all of our family lives here in Tulsa my parents decided that we are going to stay here, and when they have to leave we can just stay with family. Im supposed to be living at my house with my 22 year old brother Bobby, but he is a fag and the Hanson’s said that I could stay here.

“Im back” said Isaac walking back in the room and interrupting my thoughts.

"What are you doing in there?” asked Taylor

“Nothing” said Isaac walking over to me. I pushed him away because I didn’t want him to touch me, like Taylor said we have no idea what he has been doing in the bathroom.

Like I was saying before Isaac walked in, im staying here. My house is just next door, but Bobby and his girlfriend, Lisa, and her daughter Julie, who isn’t my brother’s kid, kinda took over the house. So, Mr.Hanson made his den into a bedroom for me, and Mrs.Hanson decorated it. My sisters Melanie and Maddy are staying with there other parents. Melanie with here real dad and Maddy with here real mom. I am the only kid that my parents actually had together, bobby has a different dad, but they weren’t married when I was born. Im 16 so im one year younger them Taylor. By the way, NO im NOT dating one of the Hanson boys like you all are thinking. I have a boyfriend named Chad.

“Earth to Haley!” shouted Taylor and Isaac waving their hands in front of my face.

“What?” i snapped back coming back into the real world

“Mom just said that dinner is ready” said Isaac grabbing my arm and dragging me out of the room.

As i walked down the hall I could smell dinner. It was spaghetti I HATE spaghetti. I have to admit im Italian, but i hate Italian food. Oh well im sure that Isaac or Zac will eat mine. So I sat down at my usual place next to Zac and Isaac. Like I said they just eat all of my food.

“How was school today Haley?” asked Mrs.Hanson after we sang Grace and got all of our food.

“Pretty good” I said “In English class today we got an assignment that for the rest of the school year we have to write a story about pour life right now”. Ok now you understand, this story is my English homework, you didn’t just think I was doing this for fun, did you?

“Thats very interesting” said Mrs.Hanson shoving a spoon in Zoe’s mouth.

“Yep” i said chopping up my food to make it look like i was eating. Speaking of eating Zac and Isaac are having a race to see who can eat the most. Sometimes I wish I didn’t know those two. Then there is Taylor who just sits there and quietly eats, never saying a word.

“You have sauce on your shirt” I heard someone say to me

“I do?” I said snapping back and seeing Isaac rubbing it off my shirt. “I can do it” I said grabbing the napkin off of him.

“Fine” he said going back and shoving noodles in his mouth.

“You two are pigs” I heard Taylor say as he got up to put his plate in the sink. I got up and did the same.

“Hey you two” said Mrs.Hanson as Taylor and me were walking away. “Its your turn to clean the kitchen”

“But, mom shouldn’t the two pigs who are throwing spaghetti all over clean up?” whined Taylor walking back over to his seat

“I agree” I said sitting on Taylor’s lap

“They cleaned last night” said Mrs.Hanson grabbing Zoe and Mack and walking out of the room.

“Have fun” aid Zac patting Taylor on the back and walking out of the room followed by Isaac.

“This should be fun” I said turning on the water in the sink.

“Lots of fun” said Taylor scrubbing the table.

“Is there a radio in here?”

“Yeah” said Taylor walking over and putting the radio on. I Want It That Way was on.

“Yuck” said Taylor changing the channel. He finally stopped on a rock channel that was play the Eagles.

“What song is this?”

“Its Desperado”

“I like this song” I said going back to my work.

“Me too” said Taylor coming up to me and putting is arms around my waist.

“Hey” I said splashing him with water

“Thats is your in for it” he said filling a cup up with water and throwing it on me

“Hey” I said filling a cup up too. Before we knew it the whole kitchen was dripping with water and none of the dishes were cleaned.

“What is going on in here?” asked Mr. Hanson walking in after he heard all of the screaming

“Nothing” said Taylor trying not to laugh.

“I want all of this cleaned up....NOW!” said Walked going back out of the room.

“Good job Taylor” I said grabbing a mop

“Oh well it was fun” he said grabbing one too

“Yeah it was”
