I guess that saying was right. Be careful for what you wish for, it always comes back to bite you in the ass

Or something like that. All I am saying is that it is true. I have been crushing him since I could remember, even though he is a giant asshole with the girls... and everyone in general. I have all ways wanted him, the girls know this, and now that I can have him it's all a fucking huge lie form his part. My luck comes in a rare form that is called horrifying.

"What I wanted to ask you later. Are you okay? I mean we kissed and you know how Dylan acted and all that" he said pulling the chair in front of me and sitting.

"Cris I can deal with Dylan you don't have to worry about that" I told with a bored look on my face. I was trying to act like last night didn't mean anything. Like my first kiss didn't mean a ducking thing. Obviously, it is a huge lie but he doesn't know that. He doesn't know that that was my first kiss. He doesn't know his crush so I have an advantage over him.

Feels more like a disadvantage. I know about the bet and that's great. I think. I know.

"Yea I know. I know you can handle him but last night he was kind of loud and rough with me... and I- I understand him. I mean I kissed his sister and practically broke the bro-code" he told me scratching his neck

"No, you did break it. I think he is angry with you because you did care that you broke it" I told him with honesty. Their friendship is hanging by a thread and it's my fault. Yes he wants to hurt me but I don't want to hurt my brother by doing taking my vengeance, if you can call it that. Cris is his friend and it doesn't feel right. Not that I am regretting my first kiss because I am not. At least it was not part of the bet though it was part of a dare. Fuck what is with me and challenges?

"It's not that I didn't care I just was doing what I wanted. Okay, maybe that sounds like I did care but..." he put both of his hands down the table and looked at me with a tired look. Damn. Dylan did take it out on him.

"Well you need to tell him that. I notice you were fighting a lot with him since it happened. Do you really want to lose almost 10 years of friendship just because of a girl? Come on that is nonsense" I said. I know I am not just a girl, I am his best friend sister. Just that makes it way harder for their situation.

"Yea... nonsense" he was looking everywhere in the room trying to find an answer to something. "I just... I have already tried talking to him and he is not listening to me. He tells me that I don't get it and that I will break your heart but that's not my intention but he doesn't trust my word" he told me looking deep into my eyes trying to find an answer there. I am trying to keep my eyes from showing emotion. So many lies in just one sentence. Lire.

"Then maybe it's time for you to listen to him. Hear what he is saying. Maybe if you do everything would be okay" I said looking away from him with a straight face. It is so hard trying to keep a blank stare on when all I want is to blush. Yea I know he will be trying, in the near future, to break my heart but I already knew that he was a dickhead and an asshole. This doesn't make my feelings towards him go away. Feeling don't go just like that. I wish they could. I will be so fucking grateful if it worked like that, but it doesn't. I have to work with myself. I deserve better but right now I don't want better I want him. That is the whole problem.

He made me feel this way towards him. Every time I think about the kiss I make me feel alive. He put that feeling there and now he wants it back. He wants to destroy the only good thing he gave me. I want revenge because of that. He will not see me fall. He will not see me brake. That is my revenge. Not because I hate him but because I can't give him what he wants. It will ruin me.

Let the games begin

Dylan and Maddie step inside the dining room shooting daggers at each other. Maddie came by my side and sat while Dylan sat beside Cris in front of her.

"What's wrong now?" I asked Maddie but looking at Dylan.

"This fu- ... this ducking weirdo thinks that he can boss me around whenever he likes. Guess what butthead?! You can put that belief of yours up your hole. Let's see if you like that" she said with a very scary angry face. It's hard to be scared when she is trying not to curse. It's kind of funny.

"Oh please you crazy witch. I could give a flying duck what you think. If a say jumps you say how high. That just how it works sweetheart." Let me tell you Dylan really is a stupid anti-feminist asshole. He will learn eventually. He will if he sticks with Maddie long enough.

"Well that doesn't work for me. You know me a little too well to think that I will follow you like a dumb bit- witch. Not gonna happen. I am not one of your Barbie's." She said getting up from her seat and leaning towards Dylan with a glare. He got up and lean too. They were face to face both shutting daggers.

"No fighting in the table. Dylan don't be an asshole. Now who wants pancakes?" Mom said entering the dining room with a plate of pancakes on one hand and a plate of scrambled eggs on the other.

My mouth just watered and felt my stomach grumbles. Damn, I need food. Like right now.

"Don't take any yet. Wait for the others" Mom put the plates on the table and left. I am so hungry

"LAYLA AND DALAIN GET YOUR ASS DOWN HERE NOWWW!" I screamed out my lungs. Everyone looked shocked about my screaming

"What I am hungry" I rolled my eyes and looked away from them. Layla entre the room with 7 empty cups and 2 different juice. Grape and oranges. Mom was behind her with plays of bacon and waffles. Damn this is a great breakfast

"Mom what's the occasion? This all smells very good" I asked waiting for Dalain to come down just like mom asked.

"Well, we have two things to celebrate" she said sitting in the far side of the table with Layla by her side.

"Okay done I am here" Dalain said out of breath. Candal was behind her rolling his eyes in her. I know for sure that Candal practically hates Dalain but I don't know why. He always so annoyed when she is around. Even though they don't talk to each other at all, never had, he still gave her the stink eye when she is around. He pass by her bumping her shoulder with a little force and sat facing mom

She looked confused but once she saw who it was she rolled her eyes. At first she was really bothered when she finds out why he dislikes her but she with time stopped caring.

She changed her clothes and had a make-up natural look. She sat on the left side of me.

"What are we celebrating mom," Dylan asked to take two waffles, a pancake, three pieces of bacon and a full spoon of scrambled eggs. Pig

"First. I got a job offer from a law firm company." Finally. My mom quit her job a month because she almost got molested by one of her coworkers. Her boss was deeply sorry and fired that son of a bitch. He had been trying to get my mother job but she has been refusing them.

"Congratulations mom" I said filling my plate with food.

"Yea Mrs. S, you deserve it" Cris said smiling at her. I think she is the only person he isn't an asshole with.

"Yes of course I do." She smiles and winked at us. She was happy and I love seeing her that way. When dad decided it was okay to leave us with no food and no money that smile disappeared. She was getting back to her true self but the job accident happened. She doesn't want to admit it but she scared. I know she is. I just want to do something to help her.

"And second. Last night was T's party and the first kiss. I am so proud." Fuck this is so embarrassing. Well there goes my advantage. I didn't look at anyone in the table. It was enough feeling their eyes on me. I know Cris is surprised and I definitely know my brothers more pissed than before.

"You took my sister first kiss you asshole!" Dylan yelled at Cris. I looked at them and my brother was furiously looking at Cris but Cris was looking at me still in shock because of the news.

"Dylan this is something to celebrate not to fight. Leave Cris alone." My mom said eating her breakfast calmly. Oh she knew that Cris dos know that that was my first kiss. Well played mother. Well, fucking played.

I need to get out of here. Now

"Who wants strawberry syrup? I want strawberry syrup. I think we have in the cabinets." I said getting up and leaving the room in a hurry.

I went to the kitchen and tried to process what the fuck happened right now.

"Hey babe, we are going to leave now. My moms are waiting at the front" Lorane and Autumn entered the kitchen with their bags.

"Are you sure? Breakfast ready. They are at the dining room if you want to eat" I said approaching them

"Yea we are sure. I have some errands to run before the day ends" Lorane tells while hugging me

"Fine but at least take a nutritional bar for the ride" I hugged Autumn and took two bars from the counter and gave it to them.

"Okay bye now. See you on Monday babe"

They left the kitchen leaving me alone with my thoughts again. I looked around searching for the damn syrup. I don't even know why because I hate strawberry syrup. Not because I hate strawberries but because it tastes too much like syrup and nothing like strawberry.

I am getting frustrated to find the syrup. Like seriously were did Dylan put it last time he used it. I give up.

"Hey" Cris said scaring me. I looked at him and acted like I was searching for the syrup. I can't look at him yet. Not when I haven't process all of it well.

"What do you need?" I asked putting my head inside a cabinet.

"I came here to talk about actually. We have a lot to talk about." I hear him getting closer. I took my head out of the cabinet and closed it. I moved a little further away from him and open another cabinet to stick my head-on. I feel very fucking stupid.

"You don't talk much about this thing, or at all, why start now," I said prying inside the cabinet that he would go away.

"Well it's your first kiss and you are my best friend sister." He was beside me. I could feel him without him touching me. I need space.

"So? That doesn't make a difference at all" I took my head out and closed the cabinet. I stood up and went for the overhead cabinets. I am too short so I had to get up on the counter. I opened one and stocked my head again.

Right now I just stopped acting like I was searching for something. My hands laid loose on my sides and my head was inside the cabinet. I looked like a freak. I really need help.

"Yes it does," he said

"No it doesn't. Think of me like just another girl and everything will be solved" I told him. Get out of here please. I can't see you right now. I think I am about to cry. I am just another girl that he has a bet on. Just another girl.

"But you not!" He was getting mad I could feel it. I could feel everything when he was in the room. "Can you get your god damn head out of that fucking cabinet and look at me."

Yep really mad

"No cursing in the house" I whispered to him and hot my head out of the cabinet. I got down of the counter and turn my back on him to look at the wall. I can't look at him. I feel embarrassed looking at him.

"Look T, I took your first kiss and I don't know how to feel about that" he sighed. His voice sounded so far away yet so close. For that I know that he was thinking about what to say.

"Again you are the bad boy, you don't have to feel anything about that. Let me tell you my friend you are off your game" I tried being friendly and casual. I don't know what am I supposed to do in this situation.

"Truth, this is serious" I finally as the courage to look at him. He had a serious look on his face. He had his bad boy posture on and yet he wants to talk about one simple, and amazing, kiss. I had seen him this way a handful of times and none were because of me until now.

"Look Cris. It was just a kiss. You don't need to take it so seriously. I gave you my first kiss become I wanted to give it to you and that it. I don't see a problem there." I told him passing him and stepping out of the kitchen with him behind me.

"Of course there's no problem there. Your brother is the whole problem." And here I thought that I was the problem or that the kiss meant something for him. Of course not. I am being silly.

"I still stand with my conversation earlier. Let him tell you it is the real problem. Let him get his anger out on you. You did put the anger on him in the first place." I said walking towards the dining room. I am hungry and my food is still there. Along with the awkward tension that mom created. Great

I sat on the table without looking at anyone and started eating. Cris didn't come into the dining room. He must be in Dylan's room or in the living room.

I could feel Dylan's anger from where I sat.

"Look Dylan it was just a kiss. Don't make it a big deal. Stop fighting with your best friend" I said having enough of that tension. It is driving me insane. I want to eat my breakfast in a sand and peaceful way. Sue me for that

"Exactly. He is my best friend and he has you your first kiss AND I know he will break your heart if I don't keep him away from you. Plus he broke the bro-code" he said finishing his breakfast and getting up

"Don't come in between our fight T. I mean it" he said once he was by the dining room entrance. He left us all girls and Candal looking at each other. Candal got up from his seat and left. The boy is so frustrating and so dense.

Mom laughed and shakes her head. "They will come around, don't worry. You still have to tell me about how it was your first kiss" she got up from her seat and took the empty plates from the table and took them to the kitchen.

"Boys are so fucking dramatic" Maddie said rolling her eyes at the entrance. Layla and I started laughing at her

~_~_~_~_~_~_~

We were in my room watching the last movie Dalain brought. She had to leave but she said that we could keep the movie and that we could give it to her once we finished watching it. We haven't changed from our pj yet.

"Do you guys have plans for today?" I asked once the movie ended. I got up from my bed and went into my closet looking for clothes. Even though I am a couch potato and I am a very messy girl, the only thing clean in my room was my closet. That's thanks to mom and the girls. The closet is organized by color and types of shirts. First, we have the jeans and then the long sleeve shirts from white to red, to yellow, to green, the blue, the purple, and finally black. Like a rainbow. Then we have the short sleeve shirts with the same pattern on colors. Then followed by the sleeveless shirts with the same patterns and then we have the dresses in the other part of my walking closet. Following the pattern from long to short.

"I was thinking of visiting John and see how he is doing" Layla was the first one to say

"I always leave my schedule open for any activities," Maddie said eating the last popcorns

"You sound like a lonely girl," Layla said laughing at her

"Lonely, no. Wise, yes. I am a girl with a lot of time on her plate and I like to choose wisely how I use my time. If you know what I mean" she said coming by my side and wiggling her eyebrows

"Well I didn't need to know that, but thanks" I said and took a black short sleeve shirt that had 'GIVENCHY Paris' written in white on it and a short white mini skirt.

"Who wants to go out to eat ice cream with me," I asked looking at both of them.

"Sure but I have to leave for John's house" Layla said shrugging her shoulders and taking her cloth from her bad.

"I have nothing better to do so yea," Maddie said

"Didn't you say you weren't a lonely girl" Layla smirked at her and closed the bathroom door. I put my cloth on the bed and laughed at them.

"Very funny" Maddie rolled her eyes a went to my closet to borrow some clothes

She took a white knitted v-neck crop top that mom bought me last year for a birthday party that I never went and mini shorts jeans with a light brown belt. She had some fashion sense. It is impressive.

Layla came out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around her. She lever like putting her cloth with a somewhat wet body. Maddie went into the bathroom next.

"You know, you don't have to worry too much about him" I said sitting next to her in the bed. She was putting on her earrings and rings.

"Yea I know, I just can't help it" she looked at me with sad eyes. Somethings wrong.

"What wrong babe?" I asked concern about her. She took care of him last night I think that's enough for her to not worry too much.

"I feel like he's not telling me something. He's been very distant and that worries me a lot more. Yea I know it's not the first time but this is something big. I think it is something huge." She looked at me with fear and panic in her eyes. She really loves him. That love is going to ruin her completely.

"Talk to him." That is the only thing that I said. I want to tell her so much for her benefit but I know she won't listen to me. She never does.

"That is the problem I have tried everything for him to tell me what's wrong but is just a waste of time. He won't tell me anything" she got up and started to dress herself.

She put on what it looked like a black laced lingerie top on that could pass like a laced tight fashion shirt and ripped jeans with black sandals. She looked hot.

"Well some has planned this visit to her lover" I teased her getting up from the bed and waited for Maddie to come out of the bathroom

"Well obviously" she looked at me blushing. John is a really lucky guy and yet he takes advantage of it.

Someone is getting laid tonight and it's not going to be me.

Maddie got out of the bathroom. She looked stunning. She had all the right curves to put that outfit on. Lucky bitch.

"Damn bitch you look hot" I said while entering the bathroom. She laughed and rolled her eyes.

Once we already went into the leaving room were mom and the guys were except for Candal. I think he left after breakfast. Dylan and Cris weren't fighting at least thank the gods.

"Hey mom we are going out for ice cream, we will be back later." I kiss the top of her head and smiled goodbye at the boys. Cris being Cris was looking at all of us from head to toe. More at Layla obviously because of the lingerie/shirt. That asshole knows what a lingerie is even with his eyes closed. Not this girl. She is already taken

The girls said goodbye and we walked out of the house. We took Layla's car. The ice cream place wasn't far so Maddie and I could walk back to my house. We parked right in front of the place and got out of the car.

The place was cozy. The girls and I always went here for ice cream, ever since 4th grade. It kind of been our place.

"Hello, T, welcome to Tite's Ice" Mrs. Tites said, the owner of the place. She was a 67-year-old woman who had seen us grow up over the years. She hugged us and looked at Maddie.

"Well hello, darling, you look quite new in this group" she smiled at her at hugged her.

"Mrs. Tites this is Maddie a new friend of ours" I said and went into the small line to wait my turn. The girls were right behind me talking to Mrs. Tites.

"Oh well she is beautiful and funny. Welcome to Sites Ice" Mrs. Tites said and left

"Hey T, would you like the usual?" Mrs. Tites cousin, Jeremy, asked. He is the same age and started working a couple of years back. He is not in our school.

"Hey Jer, Yes please" I smiled at him and gave him the cash.

"Okay right away and you girls what will you have" he looked at the girls and smiled

"The usual Jer but with gummy bears please" Layla said and left to fix sits on our spot.

"I will have pistachio with kisses" Maddie smiled at him. You could tell Jeremy was developing a little crush on her.

"Okay here you go" Jeremy said giving us our ice cream. He winked at Maddie while we walked to our spot where Layla was sitting and focused on her cellphone.

Jeremy is not at all ugly, he looks more like a nerdy kid but with muscles and a great smile. He is handsome and kind. It's a shame he is not in high school. Mrs. Tite's home school Jeremy since he was 11 years old. When unfortunately his parents died in a huge car accident.

Maddie smiled at him and winked back. She really has no shame. Jeremy could be great for her. He is not all sexist like my brother. He listens and can manage his anger just fine. All in all his the opposite of my brother.

We sat on our sits and ate ice cream while talking and laughing. Maddie told us stories about her childhood and about some of her and Dylan's fight or sane discussion as she puts it. We got to really know her.

She really is a great and fun person to be around. No surprise
