Amanda

Silence.

Dark.

Cold.

It was just him and I.

Who would speak first.

"Would you both stop staring at each other and eat!" Mom snaps at us.

Blinking, our murderous thoughts  disappear. For a while.

"You both know this is where you tell about your days?" Dad asks.

"Well, dad I had a fantastic day today. I got 90% for my science project, the highest in the class and tomorrow you'll get a letter about the prize-giving I've been invited to." He says, smugly looking at me.

"That's great son, and what about you Amanda? How was your day?" Dad asks, turning his piercing gaze to me.

I roll my eyes at him, "Today was the same as yesterday. Betty is still a pain in my ass-"

"Language!"

"Sorry mom, Betty is still a pain in my bum, but besides that everything is good daddy," I say blowing him a kiss.

"What's wrong honey? Is there something you want to say?" Mom asks Mikey as he was staring at me.

He won't let this go. It's either him or I.

3. 2 . 1

"Dad, I saw Amanda in-"

"Dad, Mikey had detention yesterday afternoon." Holding my breath I wait for it to come.

"WHAT!?"

"Mikey, you didn't tell us this." Sighing, I breathe out.

Today is not my day.

"Amanda, go up to your room. We have a lot to discuss with Mikey here."

"Yes dad," I say pulling out my chair.

Walking up the steps, I turn around and I smugly look at Mikey.

'Don't mess with me.' I mouth the words to him, I quickly run up the steps before my parents notice me still standing by the stairs.

Opening my bedroom door I flop on the bed, landing on Mr. Cuddles.

"Uh, Mr. Cuddles, it was almost a close call down there. Mikey was so close to telling mom and dad about Austin and I. He was definitely trying to get me killed, I mean what would you do without me.

Just then my phone pings from across the room.

Hot stuff:

Hey, how did it go with your brother?

Spicy:

Hey, I must say it was a hard battle and one that I won.

Hot stuff:

You are both crazy😂😂

Spicy:

What can I say🤷‍♀️I live with crazy people and if you can't beat them you join them.

Hot stuff:

I now want to meet the little man. What you up to anyway?

Spicy:

Up in room listening to the radio. It's actually a funny story they talking about: This guy is saying he'd never go down on his wife but he expects her to go down on her knees. He says he gives her the debit card, he spoils her so there's no need for him to go down.
