'Your the ben and jerry's fairy princesa'

My nose twitches as I walk downstairs, as the smell of pancakes waft up my nose. On cue, my stomach rumbles. I walk into the kitchen to see my Mom flipping pancakes, with Liam wolfing them down one by one as Serena wrinkles her nose in disgust at my little brother's antics.

" Hey Momma bear, twinsie and Ferb," I greet them all with a smile as I make a bee line to my Mom, pancakes on my mind.

"Liam, what the hell, you just spat in my smoothie," Serena scolds our little brother, moving her puke like smoothie closer to her.

"My spit makes you immortal, be grateful I just gave you eternal life," Liam fires back his mouth full with pancakes.

"More like a hundred and fifty different diseases," Serena scoffs standing up" I need to get to dance early,"

"Bye sweetie," my Mom kisses Serena's cheek as she leaves.

"Mom, can I have my pancakes now?," I whine, not able to take the hunger anymore.

"Great. One of my sisters' is anorexic and the others obese," Liam rolls his eyes.

I whack him round the head a satisfactory cry coming out his mouth "And I have a really smart brother and a totally idiotic nutball brother,"

"I'm obviously the smart brother, Ryder's the nutball," he puffs his chest out.

"I'm the what brother?," Ryder comes into the kitchen his hair ruffled from sleep and his voice husky.

" Apparently, your the nutball of a brother," my Mom says with a small smile.

"Whaa..? wait of course I'm the nutball, i'm the funniest,"

"Wait I take it back, I'm the idiotic nutball brother," Liam says in a rush. Me and Ryder's eyes meet as  we burst out laughing. Liam looks confused for a moment before realising what we did " Hey! That's not fair! you tricked me!,"

Ryder high fives me "well obviously I'm the smart brother then,"

I shake my head with amusement at Liam "How are you 15 again?,"

"I think he's aging backwards," Ryder laughs taking a stack of pancakes from the fresh batch. MY pancakes.

"Hey! Those are mine!," I try and grab the plate from Ryder, but he towers over me, twisting his body so I miss the plate.

"Fight me bruv," he says taking a bite out of MY pancakes with a smirk.

"How are YOU 23?," Liam asks with a proud smirk.

"Wowww, you actually came up with a good comeback," Ryder says sarcastically with a clap, as he was clapping, my eyes zone on the pancakes, I go in for the dive as my fingers clasp around the plate and.... the pancakes were mine!

I lean back into my seat, devouring the pancakes with a smug smile, Ryder looks at me with a crazed look as he huffs,giving up.

"Savannah, I ran into an old friend of mine at the mall the other day and she was telling me how she had no one to babysit her 5 year old daughter as her children are always busy, so I volunteered you to babysit her today after school," my Mom chimes in making my brothers break out in laughter.

"Mommm!, why did you choose me? Did you not realise you had 3 other children?," I thought for a moment before continuing "and a daughter in law!,"

"I've got basketball practice," Liam says,

"Me and Avery are going house hunting again," Ryder continues,

"And Serena has the dance audition," My Mom finishes.

"I am the only child without a life in this family apparently," I groan sinking deeper into my seat.

"Come on honey, that little girl is an absolute angel you will love her," my Mom gushes.

I mutter "I bloody well hope so."

Slamming my locker shut, my gaze falls to a particular brown haired boy.

Who was making his way to me.

I look around frantically for an escape as Brett walks towards me, clearly wanting to talk about the kiss. My eyes land on the toilets as I run into them, hoping to avoid Brett. I sigh in relief as I look at myself in the mirror.

"Are you avoiding me?," I hear Brett's voice as my head whips round.

"What the hell are you doing in the girls toilets?," I ask him.

"Do you mean what are you doing in the boys bathroom?," I look at him confused as I hear the toilet flush and a boy emerges out one of the cubicles. He looks at me in shock as I look at him in horror.

"Nothing to see here, off you go," I shove the freshman out the door.

"Now, are you avoiding me?," Brett asks again.

"What? Um no I'm just-," I hear my phone ping as I see a text.

"Oh gotta go, twin trouble," I wave quickly and dash out the toilets before he could say anything else. The thing is I didn't mind the kiss, but I don't know how I feel about it, and I don't plan to talk to him about it until I understand how I feel.

I walk blindly into random hallways, not really caring where I go, unless I'm really far from Brett.

"Hey Savannah!," I hear a sweet voice behind me. I turn around to see Thirisa and Lydia walking towards me.

A smile erupts on my face as my heart melts. These two have been best friends for god knows how long, but they had the most real friendship I have ever seen and it always leaves me in awe. They fit amazingly together, with Thirisa's smartness and Lydia's athleticism, but they came together with their weirdness. After Kelsey and Josh, I consider these two my next closest friends.

"Hey guys, what's up?," I ask them as they smile at me making my heart warm.

"We just wanted to tell you that auditions are at lunch," Thirisa begins "and we were wondering what song you were performing so we can ask the tech team to sort it out," Lydia finishes.

I shake my head and laugh "have I ever told you two how creepy it is when you finish your sentence,"

"No," they say in unison before bursting out laughing.

"I'm singing an original song so I'll just need a mic,"

"Oh my god, I can't wait, I wish that they become singles so I can download them onto my phone and listen on repeat, your voice is angelic," Thirisa gushes adjusting her glasses, tilting her head down in embarrassment as Lydia gives her a weird look.

"Sorry about her, she's a tad bit obsessed," Lydia rolls her eyes as Thirisa sequels again "Lydia! You made a reference to one of her songs! Obsessed she sang it the other day!,"

"Damn Thirisa, I'll send you some of my audios if you like them so much," I laugh as Thirisa nods eagerly.

"Anyway, we need a couple more people to do the show, have anyone in mind?," Lydia asks.

I think for a moment before responding "Well,you know Hunter, he will happily enter, you can put him down,"

"Sure, he'll have to audition tomorrow though, we only have limited time today to use the main hall," Thirisa nods.

Lydia wrinkles her nose "seriously, why do all girls like him? Like the guy is a womaniser, he has no respect, but whatever pleases the girls in this school," she puts her hands up in surrender as I nod. She's right he is a womaniser, but there are other things about him that make him fun to be around, can he really change?

Only time will tell.

"I'll see you guys at Lunch then," I wave goodbye walking to my next lesson. As I enter the class, I see Hunter and decide to sit next to him.

I hover near the seat "Hey," I greet him as he looks up.

I take my seat next to him as he replies "Hey princesa, what's up?,"

"Well, you're definitely auditioning for the talent show, I just said you'll be doing it to Lydia and Thirisa,"

He lets out a low whistle "Lydia and Thirisa eh? Their not too bad on the eyes, especially With their figures damn, I'd definitely need to step up my game for them,"

I gasp slapping his arm "Hey! Don't even look their way, I will cut your balls and feed them to Valentino's dog,"

"That would require you to look at my balls," he winks as I hit him again but harder.

"God woman, I was joking, and I can't believe Val told you bout that damn mutt already," I hit his arm again as he groans again.

"Pepé is the most adorable dog, if you talk shit about him...," I warn As Hunter raises his arms in surrender. I huff turning away from him hearing him mutter something,

"The things that girl does...," he shakes his head as a small smile creeps on my face, but he doesn't see it.

I walk to the main hall with Kelsey, Luna and Josh, as we enter, I see Hunter and the guys messing around at the back seats. We make our way towards them, Ivan noticing us approaching,

"Bruv , I'm only here to see you sing, I'd rather be doing other things," he winks nodding to a bunch of girls who were swooning over him. He squeezes his eyes shut, and stuck his tongue out making the peace symbol with his hands.

"Thanks bruv," I reply, Ivan pulls me in for a man hug.

"You too are literally gonna do the whole Bruv thing?," Luna raises her eyebrow at us as we nod in sync.

"Coarse babe, she's my brother from another mother," He says winking at me again.

"Don't call me babe," she huffs sitting down next to Emilio.

"Have you still not got over it gets hermana? It's been years," Hunter rolls his eyes at his sister, arching back casually, his white t-shirt riding up a little exposing his very defined v line.

I gulp and turn away, but my head whips back as I see Brett enter the hall "Shit guys hide me," I try hiding behind Josh but he catches my arm, keeping me in place.

"Too late, he's coming over," Josh replies with a smirk as I turn around reluctantly.

"Savannah seriously we need to ta-," he starts his sentence but is interrupted my Thirisa's voice "Savannah you're on!,"

I throw Brett an apologetic glance as I run towards the stage, Lydia walks towards me, clipboard in hand.

"Right your mic is set up and the instrumental audio, you're ready to go on whenever,"

Thirisa approaches also, "go on Savannah, we'll be judging you, don't worry you'll get ours and Kelsey's votes for sure,"

"Thanks guys," I begin walking before remembering something and abruptly stop, turning around " thanks Thirisa you saved my ass back there," I pull her into a quick hug before walking on stage as she gives me a confused look.

I walk towards the mic, assessing the stage. It was like any other school stage, decently sized. I love being on stage, it gives me a rush of adrenaline and it only adds to it doing something I love, it's like my drug and I constantly want to be on it. I still haven't experienced anything that comes close to performing on stage, and I don't think I ever will.

"State your name,grade and what talent you are performing," one of the school governors asks me in a bored tone. Clearly he didn't want to be here, well, we'll see how he feels after my performance.

Don't get too cocky savannah

I clear my throat and reply " Savannah Harrington, senior and I'm singing,"

The governor nods, looking slightly more interested. I scan the crowd and meet those crystal blue eyes.

A breath catches in my throats as they pierce into me with such force.

I avert my gaze walking closer to the mic "I'm singing an original song, knocking on your heart,"

A/N listen now if you haven't already

Nothing makes it hard to breathe
Like being in your company
When you've got someone new around your arms
I thought'd I'd be over it
To see you lock with other lips
I guess I'm just no good at moving on

Emotions fly into my voice as I'm reminded of those memories with...him. My eyes flicker up and meet Hunters eyes as he nods at me to keep going, curiosity burning in his eyes,

I always tried to
Tell myself that
I'd fall I love with someone else
But oh my stubborn heart is set on you
And every night
I fall asleep just so
I can see you in my dreams
And now I think you ought to know the truth

I move away from the mic a little letting silence fall into the hall, before the electric guitar sets in,

Are you listening?
I'm knocking on your heart. Could you let me in?
Tell me I'm the one and I've always been
'Cause I don't wanna wonder if we'll ever meet again
I'm knocking on your heart. Could you let me in?

Hunter nods at me in approval, but confusion is evident on his face,but I can't tell him, I haven't told anyone,

When you left I made you swear
Our love would last no matter where
And we would call each other every night
But nights turned into weeks, turned into months
We didn't speak
And so we lost our sense of love over time

I always tried to tell myself
That I'd fall in love with someone else
But, oh, my stubborn heart is set on you
And every night I fall asleep
Just so I can see you in my dreams
And now I think you ought to know the truth

Are you listening?
I'm knocking on your heart. Could you let me in?
Tell me I'm the one and I've always been
'Cause I don't wanna wonder if we'll ever meet again
I'm knocking on your heart. Could you let me in?

I'm knocking on your heart. Could you let me in?

Are you listening?
I'm knocking on your heart. Could you let me in?
Tell me I'm the one and I've always been
'Cause I don't wanna wonder if we'll ever meet again
I'm knocking on your heart. Could you let me in?

As I finish, silence falls on the hall,no one clapping, everyone just glued to their places, in shock. I frown at my feet, did I mess up on that soprano? Damn it I knew I should of warmed up my voice or drank lots of w-

Clap.

I look up to see Hunter standing up, he looks me in the eyes as he continues clapping, like a Mexican wave, people begin clapping in a standing ovation. I smile as I watch my friends cheer for me and Kelsey blows me a kiss from the judges table. I smile at her and send a flying kiss back.

I exit off the stage, beaming. My friends walk towards me,all congratulating me.

"That song is so good! It's one of your best pieces," Josh says as I side hug him.

"You impress me every single time Bonita," Valentino smiles squeezing my hand. As my friends talk amongst themselves, Hunter slinks towards me, his hands shoved in his pockets.

"Well done princesa, impressive," he says nodding at me.

"Thanks,"

"You put emotion in this song,"

I gasp in shock "I'll have you know that I put emotion in every one of my songs,"

"But this one was different, it was almost as if...," he thinks for a moment "As if it was about someone,"

My heart lurches as my eyes drop to the floor, how can he guess so easily?

"No it's not, it's a little more... personal," I half lie.

He nods but doesn't look convinced "whatever you say,"

I turn away, my heart racing at the thoughts going through my head.

"Savannah," I turn to see Brett.

Shit.

I begin walking quickly but I stop as Brett grabs my arm.

"You are not slipping away this time," he says as his eyes furrow, "do you regret that kiss so much? That you're gonna avoid me?,"

He gives me a sad look as I respond "Oh god no, Brett I'm not gonna avoid you forever, I just didn't know how I felt about it, that's why I was avoiding you, I needed to think,"

He nods slowly "so do you regret it?,"

And here it was. The question that could lead me in two different directions, two choices that have different journeys. And I hope the one I choose, won't end up being a mistake.

"No. I don't regret the kiss," I say with a small smile.

His face erupts in a smile "Savannah, I have liked you for a very long time, I've wanted you to notice me for so long, I'm so glad I sat next to you in English. What I'm tryna ask is, Will you go on a date with me?,"

A blush creeps on my cheek as I look at him slightly dazed "Yes, I'd love to go on a date with you,"

His smile widens into a grin as his arms pull me closer into an embrace, but it felt different, it's changed, I couldn't feel that spark anymore, just little flickers of it.

My heart was racing but I wasn't excited, what's wrong with me?
________

I hear the door open from downstairs, my Mom's voice chatting happily to another woman's voice, a few minutes later I hear the door close and my Mom's voice "Savannah, get down here, I need to get going!,"

I groan, rolling off my bed,walking out my room and down the stairs. My eyes stay at my feet, but as I reach the landing they look up, to see the most adorable little girl I've ever seen.

She had tan skin with light brown hair, streaks of blonde evident in them. She had the longest lashes, lashes that anyone would kill for, she wore a cotton summer dress, but what really caught me out was when she shyly looks up at me, she had the most beautiful clear,sky blue eyes.

I gasp at her, a smile erupting on my face as I squat down to her height "hey there what your name? I'm savannah,"

She quickly looks down, shyness overtaking her, she clutches a tattered blanket with Dora the explorer on it.

"You like Dora the explorer? Well guess what, so do I! Do you want to watch some Dora the explorer?,"

Her eyes snap up, excitement clear in them as they shine "Yes please! It's my favourite show!," my heart melts at the sound of her voice, it was pure and soft, perfect to be a singers voice.

"My favourite character is boots, who's yours?," I ask her.

"Mines Dora!," she gushes.

"This is why I chose you to babysit, I'm gonna go now," my Mom says as she waves the little girl goodbye and leaves.

"Anastasia," she says.

"Hmmm?," I look at her confused.

"My names Anastasia," she says smiling, dimples showing, she looks very familiar...

"That's a very pretty name," I say holding my hand out for her to take, she takes it her palms soft. I lead her into the living room, turning on the t.v for her.

"How old are you Anastasia?,"

"I'm 5, and you can call me Stasia," she gives me a toothy grin.

"Well ok, stasia," I smile at her.

"How old are you?," she asks me.

"I'm 17 but I'm going to be 18 very soon," I tell her.

"When's your birthday?," she asks.

"It's the 30th of December," I say sitting next to her,

"My brothers 18," she says as I look at her in surprise, she has a brother?

We watch Dora the explorer for a while, whilst eating a little too much Ben and Jerry's.

As the episode of Dora ends, I unconsciously hum the tune.

Anastasia gasps, my head snaps towards her in panic "What's wrong stasia?,"

She giggles as I groan and fall back into my seat "I think your a good singer, you can hum really well, can you sing for me?,"

"What do you want me to sing?,"

"Once upon a dream from sleeping beauty!," she squeals.

I smile, thinking of the lyrics for a moment, I begin singing the lines as Stasia looks at me captivated, her mouth slightly open.

As I finish by vibrating the last chords, Stasia claps loudly "wow you're so good! You're the Ben and Jerry's ice cream fairy princesa!," I frown as she says princesa in an impeccable accent, she must have Spanish parents.

"I love the movie cos there's a Prince Charming, do you have a Prince Charming?," she asks me, I shake my head "oh, you're so pretty though, hey! my brother can be your Prince Charming! I wish I had one,"

"Aha, I don't know your brother and one day you will,"

The door knocks as I smile at Stasia " I think your Mommys here,"

"Awww, I wanna stay longer," she pouts as I laugh and give her a hug. We walk to the door, hand in hand. I drop her hand to open the door, as I open it I stare in horror at who's on the other side, and the persons face was mirroring mine.

"What are you doing here?!," we say at the same time as me and Hunter look at each other confused.

"I live here, duh," I say, my questions were cut off when Stasia screams in delight and runs to Hunter hugging him, he picks her up and kisses her cheek.

"Stasia! Come back! Don't go to an idiotic stranger!," I shout as she giggles at me.

Hunter rolls his eyes "This idiotic stranger is her brother," realisation slams on me, I am really bad at putting together family, she looks practically like Luna! I'm such an idiot.

"Silly Savannah! This is your Prince Charming!,"

A blush creeps up on my face as Hunter cocks an eyebrow in interest "Stasia we talked about this, I don't have one,"

"Even if she did have one, it would be Brett," Hunter says his eyes darkening.

Stasia frowns "I guess Bretty's nice, but I think you should be, then I would get to see her everyday!," she giggles. Awkward tension emerges between me and Hunter as we avoid each other's gaze.

Hunter clears his throat "You know where we live, you can babysit at our house from now on,"

I nod "yeah, me and Brett can do our project afterwards,"

Hunter nods, giving the ground a dark glare. Poor ground.

I close the door after saying bye, heading upstairs, fatigue over washing me.

I collapse on my bed, unlocking my phone scrolling through it.

An hour or so later, I hear the door open and close, Serena enters my room as I FaceTime Kelsey.

Kelsey's face appears on the screen "Hey wife," she says.

"Hey babe," I reply.

"I forgot you two were married," Serena rolls her eyes plonking next to me.

"Ahhh it's my sister in law," Kelsey laughs.

"Hold up, I'm gonna FaceTime Luna," Serena scrolls through her contacts, a minute or so later Luna's face appears on Serena's phone screen.

"What's up?," Luna asks.

"Not much," Serena replies,

"Do you know what I realised, none of us has a guy, like one of us needs to get a boyfriend," Kelsey complains as the other two groan agreeing.

I stay quiet for a moment before speaking "actually, Brett asked me on a date today,"

I  was responded with screams and 'what the hell'.

"We need to go to the mall tomorrow, I'm picking you up after school," Luna says.

"Luna, why did you not tell me you had the most adorable little sister, I just babysat her!," I say, Serena and Kelsey look surprised

"She is so sweet isn't she, I didn't know your Mom is my Moms old friend,"

"Weird world," Kelsey mutters.

"Anyway, I thought you would end up with my brother," Luna sighs as I mock gag. Ew.

"Can't stand him. No chance in hell. Period.," I say as the others fall into silence.

"Hell must be on Earth then, cos It's bound to happen sooner or later," Kelsey mumbles, almost as if she was making a prophecy.

I am not falling for Hunter Sanchez.

Even if hell is on earth.

I will fight through.
