the new roommate
"Jordan, I swear to God, if you do not get that camera out of my face, I will break it" Scott says as he pushes the camera away from his face. For the past five minutes, Scott had been trying to pass a football around with Parker, but he couldn't because Jordan had his camera in Scott's face so he couldn't see the football "Can you seriously not annoy anyone else?"
"But I'm getting such a good reaction from you" Jordan says with a laugh, just like any other younger brother would do if their annoying an older sibling.
"I hate you so much" Scott says to Jordan with a glare before looking at Parker "I'm going to get a drink, you want anything?"
"I'm good" Parker says with a smile.
"Are you not going to ask if I want anything?" Cole and Jordan both ask at the same time.
"No because one, you've been annoying me for the past five minutes" Scott says to Jordan before looking at Cole "And two, your existence just annoys me" He says before turning around to walk inside.
"Love you too brother!" Scott hears Cole shout as he walks into the house to see Will talking to Katherine and a girl he doesn't recognise.
"Who are you?" Scott asks as he points at Jackie, who looked at him with a mix of confused and completely terrified.
"This is Jackie, remember, she's moving in today?" Katherine says to Scott with a smile "Jackie, this is Scott, Scott this is Jackie."
"Oh, that's why there is a massive curtain in the middle of my room?" Scott asks Katherine, who nods. A few months ago Scott had been told that he wouldn't have his own room anymore because Jackie was going to share with him, and since they are both different genders, they put a curtain in the middle of the room so they could have some privacy, and so they can also move it whenever they want to talk to each other. "Hi roomie" Scott says with a smile as Jackie looks at Katherine with a scared look.
"I'm sharing a room with him?" Jackie asks Katherine.
"Don't worry, I support, love and respect woman" Scott says, trying to make Jackie feel a bit more comfortable "And there is a massive curtain that we can use to split the room in half if we want."
"Okay" Jackie says with a small smile as Katherine walks away answering her phone.
"So, um, Jackie" Scott says, making Jackie look up at him "Where you from?"
"Is that seriously your small talk?" Will asks walking back over to the two after getting more lemonade.
"I don't see you doing any better" Scott says to Will before looking back at Jackie.
"I'm from New York" Jackie awkwardly says, feeling a bit overwhelmed.
"New York?" Scott asks, making Jackie nod "Yeah, I've never been. Would love to go but I'm sadly poor."
"I have to go to the clinic" Katherine tells Scott and Will, saving Scott from keeping up a very awkward conversation with Jackie "So can you two take over and get Jackie all settled in? She's already met um... Danny, Isaac, Alex and um..."
"Benny" Jackie says to Katherine.
"Benny. Yes" Katherine says with a smile before sighing "I cannot believe I'm being called in right now."
"Just to let you know, everyone here is a dickhead, especially Cole" Scott says to Jackie with a smile "Cole is the king of the dickheads."
"Don't listen to Scott" Will says with a nervous laugh, not wanting Jackie to have a bad impression "Scott is just joking and is holding a grudge against Cole."
"He stole a can of Pepsi out of my room!" Scott says loudly making Jackie laugh "I wouldn't of cared if I had some left but it was my last one. My. Last. One."
"Jackie, I'm so sorry" Katherine says, with genuine sympathy in her voice "I promise I'll be back as soon as I possibly can."
"Don't worry" Jackie says with a genuine smile "Hope the dog's okay."
"Thank you" Katherine tells the teenage girl before leaving the house.
"And, hey, Jackie" George says, walking over to the three "I'm always around here somewhere. If you need anything, call me, okay? I gotta get out to the orchard" He says before leaving the house, leaving Jackie with Scott and Will.
"Uncle George, wait for me" They hear Lee shout as he skates past the three "Sup Scott!" Lee shouts as he passes Scott.
"Sup Lee!" Scott shouts, right before the door slams "That's Lee, he likes to act all tough but he's secretly a softie. Don't tell him I told you that 'cause he will murder me in my sleep."
"He's a Tony Hawk wannabe" Will adds on.
"We've met" Jackie says, rolling her eyes a little. She didn't want to seem rude, but it was just a lot for her to take in, especially with what she is going through.
"Okay, time to meet the others" Scott says with a smile as Will leads them up to Nathan and Alex's room, where Nathan is sat on the floor with his guitar in his hands.
"Nathan" Will says, knocking on the door "This is Jackie."
"Hi. It's nice to finally meet you" Nathan says as he stands up and shakes Jackie's hand.
"Thanks, you too" Jackie says with a smile.
"Kid, you gotta come outside soon" Scott mentions to Nathan "I'm stuck putting up with Cole and Jordan. I need you to save me."
"I'm just working on something now, but I'll come out later, I promise" Nathan says to Scott with a smile.
"You better" Scott says before leaving the room and catching up to Jackie and Will, who had wandered outside.
"I'm hard of hearing, so if I'm not looking at you or there's a lot of background noise, I won't understand. Just FYI" Will tells Jackie. Will has been wearing hearing aids for a long time now, so the family has gotten used to repeating themselves to Will, which is obviously not his fault at all.
"Okay, thank you" Jackie says with a smile.
"Hey, everyone, this is Jackie" Will yells to the others which are outside, which is Jordan, Benny, Parker and Cole.
"Hello" Jackie says with an awkward wave to them.
So, the girl is Parker, the evil and annoying one with the camera is Jordan, you've already met Benny" Scott tells Jackie "And where's..." Scott goes to say, but then she sees Jackie staring at Cole getting out of the pool "That's Cole, the Pepsi thief."
Wanna introduce yourself?" Will shouts over to Cole.
"She'll figure it out" Cole says back to Will, making Will look a little annoyed, while Jackie just keeps looking at him.
"I wouldn't go there unless you want herpes" Scott whispers to Jackie, making her give him a confused look "I'm just saying he sleeps around a lot."
"Really?" Jackie asks Scott.
"Yep, sneaks a lot of girls into the house" Scott says before realising what he had told her "But don't tell Mom or Dad."
"Your secret is safe with me" Jackie says to Scott with a smile as Jordan runs over, shoving the camera in her face.
"Um, hi" Jackie says as she looks at Scott with wide eyes, being completely and utterly confused.
"Jordan, I'm going to smash that thing into ten million pieces" Scott says, pushing the camera away from Jackie "Go and annoy Alex or Isaac."
"Do you know where they are?" Jordan asks.
"If I help you find them, will you stop filming us?" Scott asks, which makes Jordan nod his head "Then let's go and find them, shall we?"
