It's been a week since Reed got released from the hospital. Everything has been going good. Now I am with Ryder watching, The Conjuring.

"Why do all these people go inside the room when they know something is wrong? They can see there are ghosts," Ryder mumbles.

"Beleive me. When you hear sounds weird and strange noises, you automatically go and check what it is. It was two years ago, and it was midnight, and I was reading a book when I heard unusual sounds. Any sane person would hide under the blanket. But me being me, I went to check what it was, shaking the whole way," he chuckles.

"Do you know what I saw?" I whisper, and he shakes his head.

"Ducks in the kitchen," I shout, making him scream and laugh.

"Ducks?" he asks in between chuckles.

"Yeah, somehow they came to my house from our neighbour's house," I shrug. Raven comes, bringing us snacks.

"Kiara here," she says, handing me a piece of paper and my favourite candy. I look at h

    "Kiara, stop running. I am not in my teenage years to run after you," Raven shouts, chasing me."Never," I shout back, trying to escape from her and the monster."I am never coming near that monster," I tell her and run around the room."Kia, how many times do I have to tell you. It is called makeup and not a monster," she states, reaching out her hands to catch me. I successfully evade the attack."Come on repeat after me. It is makeup and not a monster," Raven says, slowly as if she is teaching a child. I was going to repeat, then I remember, that I am not a kid. Well played, Raven."Nope, I am not going to wear makeup," I finally tell her. I am acting a bit overdramatic, but I am not wearing that on my face. Never.They make my skin so dry and itchy. I want to enjoy my date with Reed, not keep itching and squirming because it feels uncomfortable.Suddenly the door opens, and my best friends barge in. They are all in black as if the

    I wake up with a gasp as I feel ice-cold water running down my back. I look at the culprit and find my brother grinning at me from one ear to another."KEITH," I shout and chase him. He is laughing as he runs down the stairs. While running, I see Reed and Ryder laughing at us.Wait. Reed and Ryder? What? Then everything clicks. Keith is here in America."Keith," I squeal, jumping to hug him. He puts his arms around me to hug me back."Took your dumb brain long enough to work," he says as everyone else chuckles. I hug him tighter. He is here, and I had no clue."Andrew, you have competition now," Reed informs Andrew."Hey, I have competition too," Ryder pouts, trying to glare at Keith. They will get along well.Two of them huddle together to plot against Keith, and he laughs."How?" I ask him."Well, it's your graduation present," he tells me, grinning.Yeah. I am graduating along with Reed, Andrew, and all m

    “KIARA, TIME TO WAKE UP,” Keith shouts in my ear. I open my eyes and see all the four boys in my room. Reed has a guitar, Ryder has a toy piano, and Andrew has a trumpet. I don’t even want to know where they got it.I lie back down and cover my ears with a pillow. It has been happening for about three days now. I think God hates me so much that he made me live with four boys. Three brothers and my boyfriends. Sigh.‘I feel bad for you,’ I hear winter tell me.‘Hey, I actually missed you.

    I wake up to bright sunlight entering my room. Why has my alarm not gone off yet? The sleep I am getting is really suspicious. I take a look at my clock and see it’s thirty minutes past six.Ah. I can sleep some more. I doze off again.'Don't you think it’s quite unusual to be this bright at six-thirty in the morning?' I hear winter's sleepy voice.'It's too early to hear your voice. Let me sleep,' I cover my ears with my pillow.'I can say the same about you but, I think the clock is not working because the sun is too bright to be this early in the morning,''Fine, stop nagging.

I sit down, feeling relieved. Reed comes and hugs me. I hug him back, holding him tight."Andrew, why did you clutch your chest. Do you feel any pain?" I ask him, worried."No, Kiara. I was too excited, so I didn't eat the whole day. I also have a gastric problem. If I don't eat for a long period, I will faint.
