I let out a soft sigh as I fanned myself with a book. "Fuck... It's hot..." I mumbled, wiping a few drops of sweat from my forehead.
The air conditioner broke. Talk about strait out of the pan and into the fire... Literally.

'A shower yeah... A shower seems nice right now...' I told myself getting up I yawned walking to the bathroom, I couldn't turn the light on because of the stupid blackout we were having. I was already basically naked in my office, Fuck cloths, it was too hot in there...
I pulled off my shorts and boxers turning on the water in the shower I stepped in. It was freezing as hell, but dang it felt good.
Of corse I was an idiot however and forgot to lock the bathroom door.
"WEST!" I heard Victoria yell from downstairs, I groaned knowing how she'd give me a lecture about waisting water during a blackout.
The door shot open, to reveal my sister Victoria, she was in a navy tank top and shorts.
"I TOLD YOU NOT TO USE THE SHOWER!" She yelled,
I was facing with my back to her, preventing her from seeing what's downstairs.
"For fucks sake, get out!" I yelled, she rolled her eyes, muttering something about guys being able to take of their shirts in public before turning and walking out, slamming the door behind her.

I let out a long sigh of relief, my eyes wandering around the bathroom.
A black sink and cabinates was located across from the shower, which was pressed against the left side of the bathroom.
A circular mirror was located above the sink on the wall.
The toilet was in the middle of the room against the back wall. Of corse Victoria had all her makeup crap on the sink. Why the hell do girls wear makeup anyway?
I'll never get it.

My shaggy light brown hair fell almost over my eyes, and my cowlick, unlike many of the states who had them was located in the back, and curled up like a dog tail.
My reddish brown eyes stared at the ceiling. I wasn't short nor was a very tall. I was around 5'8" I guess.
I wasn't bulky, but I did have some muscle.
I turned off the water, stepping out of the shower I grabbed a towel and dried off. I put my cloths back on, and went downstairs. "I need a beer..." I told myself, heading to the backyard.
Victoria did have her life hack shit sorted out I'll give her that...
She had dug a hole this morning under the shade of the huge oak tree in out backyard and placed a cooler in the hole. It fit perfectly. She had put a bunch of ice and drinks in there too. After that she put a bunch of salt on the ice to keep in super cold. As well as some things that needed to be kept cold.
I opened up the cooler, pulling out a blue moon and the last remaining tub of Moose tracks Icecream, closing the lid and heading inside.
I went into the living room to see my sister splayed out on the couch, in just a plain black bra and underwear.
Sweat dripped off her smaller form, and her hair was pulled into a tight ponytail, which fell across the back of the brown couch.

I looked away a faint blush on my face.
"GET SOME CLOTHS ON!" I yelled.
She glared at me, "you don't have much room to talk there. Plus it's fucking hot! And the radio says it's going to stay like this all into next week..."

"I don't care! You're a girl! Get a fucking shirt on!"
"No!"
I massaged the bridge of my nose.
"I have a fucking headache and don't want to argue with you right now, get a fucking shirt on."
"Nope." She said popping the p.
"Do I really have to be the mature one here?"
"I'm your older sister, you have to do what I say! That's the rules."
"The rules of..?"
"LIFE!"
"SAYS WHO?"
"SAYS THE AMERICAN NUDIST GODS!!!" She said, a deep blush on her face.
'She looks like she's about to pass out... She's having a heat high again...'
I realized. You see, Virginia can't handle heat as well as I can...
If she get's too hot, she starts getting pissed off, and a little crazy.
So I call it her 'heat high' because whenever she get's too hot, she basically get's high.

"Virginia common, why don't we go outside for a bit." I suggested. "No! I'm staying right here!" She argued.
"Virginia your over heating, you need to go outside!"
"No! Y-you need to go outside!!" She said, slurring.
I grabbed her hand, practically having to drag her out of the stuffy house and over to the pool.
She was kicking and screaming.
"Knock it out will ya!!! I'm trying to help your sorry ass!" I hissed threw gritted teeth. She seemed to calm down at that.
I picked her up and set her down in the shaded part of the pool deck with her feat in the pool.
"There, now try and calm down ok?" I said, walking over to the cooler and grabbing two chilled cokes, closing the lid I gave one to her.
"Oh, thanks." She answered, opening up the drink and practically chugging it down.
I drank mine more slowly.
"When do you think the power will come back on?" She asked.
"I dunno. Hopefully soon."

We sat there for about an hour, just enjoying the cool water on our feet. The rest of the pool was warmer, so we didn't want to swim.
Just then my phone rang, I picked it up, answering it.
"Yo?"
"Hey West! How's the blackout?!" He asked, laughing at the end. Cocky bastard...
"Sucks ass, why?" I answered plainly.
"Well, I'm having a pool party, too bad you can't come!"
"Oh? Why can't we?"
"Because you're not invited! Plus your car broke down!!!"
"How'd you know that?"
"Ohio told me."
"How'd he know that?"
"He put eggs in your engine."
"HE DID WHAT???" I yelled.
"He put eggs in your engine." He repeated, I was furious.
"I've gotta go Maryland. Bye." I spat, ending the call.
"Virginia get some cloths on we're going to Ohio's."
"Why?"
"He's the reason my car broke down."
"Oh. Can't we just use my car?" She asked. "There's no way we're using your car, it smells revolting from the air fresheners in there."
"No it doesn't! It smells good!"
"Whatever. Get out the bikes."
"You know, you should follow my advice every once in a while and not get back at other's idiocy."
"Not until I die."
She shrugged, "Fine little bro."
"Shut up."

((I actually get heat high too.
I just start slurring my words and start acting crazy. Wonder why...))
