"Come on Josh!" I said walking after him.

"No. Your mom said that it was your job to take care of the kid. Plus I have a life too ya know" he said picking up a box of science gear.

"Oh would it ruin your plans with Janette?" I asked mockingly.

"No. I have to study for the SATs which, you would be doing too if you weren't running around doing whatever it is you do" he said

"Please. I'll be fine! I can study too ya know" I said

"Really?" He asked turning his head to me while putting away the beakers.

"Yeah" I replied

"Really?" He asked again, not believing what I said.

"Yes" I said crossing my arms like it what obvious.

"Name one time you've studied for a test" he said putting me on the spot.

Truth is I do study, I just don't want him to know about it. Or anyone to know about it.

"Umm there was that time when we had that math test....?" I said pretending to try and remember while scratching my head.

"Which one?" He asked dully.

"You know that one..." I said pointing at him like he'd know

"Oh yeah that one?" He said seeming to remember.

(Good cause I don't)

"Yeah that one!" I said like I knew whatever one he meant.

"Oh I know the one that's all in your imagination Dyl!" He yelled.

"Yeah! The one that I'm imagining in the future to do" I said

"Oh so you're planning to study?" He asked, kinda falling for it with his arms crossed.

"Yup" I said like I really would.

He nodded and we looked down.

"So you'll do it?" I asked with false hope looking at him.

"Nope" he said.

"Why?" I asked.

"Cause I have to study Dyl! I've told you 4 times now!" He said.

"Fine" I grumbled leaving the room.

"But the next time you need advice on her don't come crying to me!" I said pointing at him from the door.

"Pretty intense" a girly voice said in front of me.

I looked at her and it was the kid's sister. Still didn't catch her name...

"Yeah" I sighed brushing my hand through my hair.

"Your brother?" She asked peeking in the door.

"Nah. Cousin" I said.

"Oh. Lucky him" she said

"Whats that supposed to mean?" I asked looking down at her.

"That he's lucky he doesn't have a brother like you" she said tersely

"Okay, what's your problem?" I asked. One minute she's nice the next she's Medusa. Yet she was still looking at Josh.

Must be on her period or something.

"What?" She asked glaring and crossing her arms.

Must've said that out loud..... Whoops.

I laughed then pretended to cleared my throat.

"I said that's some nice perfume you have on or something" I said still covering my laugh.

"Ok.....?" She said looking at me like I was crazy. Eh. Maybe I am.

"I'll see you tomorrow" I said not knowing what else to say and turned around.

"See you tomorrow....?" She mumbled still confused while I was already walking down the empty school hallway home.

•*•*•*•*•*•*•

I was in my room looking at old family pictures and videos when Mom called me to dinner.

"COMING!" I yelled.

And we went back and forth til I was downstairs looking at the dining room.

And low and behold, she was there.

With a lady, (assuming her mom) and Ellie.

I gave an exaggerated smile then left to the kitchen.

"You didn't bother to tell me they were coming" I grumbled leaning on the wall watching her cook.

"Well, she called about an hour ago and I didn't have time to tell you so shut your grumpy mouth and behave because we have company and I didn't raise you to be disrespectful" Mom said.

"Fine" I said through gritted teeth sighing.

"Good" she said with a nod.

"Now go talk" she instructed.

"What?" I asked unbelievably

"You heard me. I didn't teach you to be rude either so you better go" she said

"But-" I tried to say.

"Now." She said with a 'do as I say or else' mother tone.

"Alright alright!" I said and I went out of the kitchen into the dining room.

"Good evening Ms..." I said not knowing her last name

"Bremminghem" she said offering to shake my hand while getting up.

"Bremminghem" I repeated and shook her hand.

"But you can call me Chelsea" she said

"Chelsea" I said with a charming smile while sitting down.

"Oh! And as you know already my son Elliot, and my daughter, Lucinda"

Elliot whispered something in his mother's ear and she nodded, then he got out of his chair and ran to me giving me a hug.

"Well I knew this big guy" I said messing up his hair looking down at him then picking him up in my arms.

I looked back at Chelsea.

"But I still hadn't known the name of your daughter until now" I said as a matter of fact

"Why is that Dylan?" She asked generally curious then looked at her daughter.

I shrugged. "I guess she never came around to tell me"

"Why is that, Lucinda?" Chelsea asked and the girl gave her an innocent shrug while I tried to distract her and Elliot by making weird faces.

Elliot started giggling and I started tickling him.

I barely noticed that the girl and her mother were smiling and looking at me until my mom barged in.

"Awww don't you two look adorable!" My mom gushed.

Then I looked at all all three of them, my faint smile gone.

"What're you three looking at? Nothing to see here!" I said jokingly while beginning to leave

"Come on Ellie let's get away from all of these crazy people" I whispered in Elliot's ear and he giggled while I opened the door to the entryway.

Ellie started to try and riggle free so I put him down. He was looking at the dark  brown wooden  little table with pictures on top of it.

"Who's that?" He pointed with his fingers in his mouth a picture of a little blonde girl with pigtails smiling.

My jaw clenched as I saw the picture.

"No one Ellie" I said putting the picture face down.

Ohhhhh here's where the real trouble begins... or maybe not. Find out next week and tell me what you think of the story so far. I don't know if I mentioned this before but I feel like it's different from the ones I've written in the past. It has a different... theme/feeling to it. Still staying with the bad boy theme a bit but you'll see how Dyl really is like as a bad boy later. For now I hope you guys enjoy his soft side. This story is still kinda a cliche but isn't at the same time.

Anyways, I hope you liked it and continue reading! Please comment, vote, and follow!

I'll see you next Wednesday and bye loves!

PS: JOSH IN THE PICTURE! Cute right?

Okay now real goodbye. Bye! :) <3
