Me and Greg were at the kitchen table talking about our day. I explained to him what happened after school. "Wait, Terrence?" Greg said in concern. "Yeah," i replied. "Since when did you care?" I noticed Greg had a black eye. "Oh.. He did that?" I asked. Greg nodded. I got up and opened up the freezer.

I'm going to be honest, I'm happy and sad that happened. Happy that he got that during school because he's never been picked on, and sad that he got hurt that bad. I know, your probably thinking i'm a horrible sister, but trust me sometimes you have to experience it yourself to know how bad something is.

I got an ice pack and gave it to Greg. "This will help, just keep it on your eye," I said to him. He did what I said for once, yay. Our mother wasn't home yet, so I'm always in charge in these two hours. Things i love about the first day of school is there's usually no homework. I'm not saying i don't like school, it's just sometimes you can get overwhelmed. Last year i made all As. You might think it's easy for me. Nope, i busted my butt trying to get my grades all As, and it's worth it.

I went upstairs to brush my hair, and Greg followed me as usual. As i was brushing my hair, i looked at my little brother. "What?" Greg said. "Uh..nothing," I replied. "Why don't you get some different clothes on? Those are kinda dirty you know." "I like being dirty," Greg said with a smirk. I sighed and laughed a bit. "Go get changed," i said. Greg went to his room.

Our mother got home a while later, and has groceries as usual. "I'm home!" My mother called. I went downstairs to help her with the groceries. "Wheres Greg?" My mother asked. "Most likely in his room," i replied. After i got all the groceries inside, i went upstairs to get Greg. I peeked into his room. He wasn't in sight, great. I went in his room and looked around. Greg is wanting to play with me, and he does this very often to me. To be fair I don't usually have fun when I'm at home. Either he will sneak out of his room and hide in another room, tackle me and make me act a funny way, or he is simply not in here.

Greg appeared out of the closet and tackled me to the ground. "INTRUDER!!" Greg yelled. Yep, i expected that. I tried to get him off, but Greg already pinned me to the ground. "Get off Greg!" I said to him. "What summons you here trespasser?!" Greg replied. "I come hereth to fetch my sibling," I said in a ridiculous voice. "How do i know you aren't a bandit?!" Greg exclaimed. "Alright you asked for it," I said. I pushed him off and pinned him down. I sat on his back and picked up his legs. "Nonono stop!!" Greg pleaded. I grinned and tickled his feet. He struggled and laughed, but the mighty Maggie was too powerful for him.

I eventually got off and walked out. "Downstairs Greg," i said. Me and Greg went downstairs to see our mother waiting for us. She looked at Greg and was suddenly shocked. "Greg! What happened to your eye?" She asked examining his face. "I'm fine," greg replied. "Then whats this plum doing here?!" Mother said. Greg's happy face was changed to a annoyed look. "I. Am. Fine!" "Mom it was a bully," I said. "Same one I dealt with last year,".

Our mother stood there for a moment. "... that boy is nothing but trouble.. your father would have-" she stopped for a second. Wait, our father? "We have a dad?" Greg exclaimed. We never knew our father. I guess they divorced. Now that I think about it, I'm surprised there is no photo of dad anywhere. Mom shook her head. "N-nevermind. Lets get you cleaned up Greg," my mother said. She and Greg went to the bathroom. I looked at the groceries. Oh, shes making pasta. Maybe i can cook this, i thought to myself. I sorted the ingredients and started cooking...
