chapter one

I sat in my class, my usual seat, the very back. My name is Kaila Highlander, I am seventeen years old with brown eyes and jet black hair, I am the one that everyone makes fun of at school, and I don’t even know why. I sat in the seat between Hail and Jake, my brothers, they are not the protective brothers that you might think they are. They actually were the ones who decided to make my life a living hell. They started roomers about me, and they thought it was just the funniest thing, our parents are rich, and they are literally never home, so they don’t give a damn. The only one that sticks up for me is my older brother, Jared, he is my best friend, but he is eighteen and doesn’t go to our school, it sucks. The bell to Science rang and I got up, grabbing my backpack and walking out of the class, I suddenly tripped and went flying onto the floor. I caught myself by my hands and sighed, I just got up and kept walking. There is no point in fighting back, they’d win. I walked into the cafeteria, everyone stared-well, more like sneered- at me, I just ignored them and went and got my leftover pizza, mm, cold pizza. I sat at my usual empty table in a good mood, I love cold pizza, I didn’t dare show any liking towards it though, if they knew, that would be the end of my pizza. I acted as if I was just going to deal with it, I nibbled on it for a while and took bites every once in a while. I got a text, I pulled out my phone, confused as to who was texting me, it was Jared “hey, I heard about the brand new roomer they created about you, they are quite the creative bunch” he texted. I smiled “yeah, which one? The one where I supposedly have a penis and use the guys bathroom? Or the one where apparently I have hemorrhoids?” I texted. I had to laugh at that roomer, I don’t have hemorrhoids, only old people get hemorrhoids. He texted back fast “I’m on my way to pick you up, I’m going to take you home, I told my teacher I had an emergency, and I called your school and told them you had a doctors appointment” he texted me, I could see the smug smile on his face. I laughed and texted back quickly, picking up my pizza and throwing it in the trash. “thank you big bro, it sucks you don’t go to our school, cause then you would be the king, I know it” I texted as I threw my pizza away. I walked out the cafeteria doors and started down the hall, I was looking at the text Jared sent back when I ran into someone, I fell on my butt and quickly looked around “I am so sorry, I didn’t mean to-
“no, its perfectly fine, I wasn’t paying attention, it was my fault” the boy said. The boy I ran into had black hair that went to his shoulders, piercing aqua blue eyes and a matured face, he had broad shoulders and what looked like built arms, he was hot. “no, I- I’m sorry, I was texting my brother, I didn’t see you, it was totally my fault” I said, a little dazed. He smiled “it was both our faults then, hi, I’m Jamie, Jamie Valet” he said, holding his hand out. I shook his hand “hi, I’m Kaila, Kaila Highlander” I said with a smile. His smiled faltered into a confused one “the Kaila Highlander? The one who-
“yes, I am the one who stole my mother’s Porsche and crashed it into a gas station, but hey, I was fourteen and my mother didn’t care, she just bought a new one” I shrugged. He laughed “its an honor to meet you” he said. I chuckled “not for long once you hear the roomers they started” I muttered under my breath. His smile dropped “your brother’s roomers, I have heard of those, I don’t believe them, they’re the stupidest roomers I have ever heard” he said. I wondered how he heard me. I realized we haven’t let go of each other’s hand, I got a text and released my hand from his to reach for my phone, “hey, I’m here, where are you?” Jared asked me. I chuckled and put my phone away “well, I have to go, my brother is waiting for me outside, see you later” I said to him. He smiled and nodded “sure” he said. I nodded and started for the doors, I opened them to see Jared waiting out front, his red Gt500 Shelby idling while he leaned on the side of it. I walked down the stairs and Jared pushed off of his car, he pulled me into a brotherly bear hug, making me laugh breathlessly, he let me go and opened my door for me, I got in and he came around and got in too. He revved his beloved engine that he rebuilt and then sped off “when are you going to start fighting back?” he asked me seriously. I sighed, this was always our conversation “there is no point in fighting back Jared” I sighed. He snorted “why have you lost hope in yourself? Aren’t you the one who stole Moms car just to get a joy ride out of it, when you knew that she’d lock you up in your room for a week?” he asked me. I sighed “yes, I am still her, and I would do it again if she still lived with us, but in school, they wont let me fight back, I have not got a single ally, not one friend, and no, you don’t count because you don’t go to our school” I said as he looked like he was about to protest. Suddenly, he got a glint in his eye, as if he just got a brilliant idea. I shook my head “no, you are not transferring to our school, they will blame me and everyone will hate me worse” I groaned. “its too late, I am going to call when we get home” he said, smiling as if he has just won the lottery. I chucked him hard in the arm “Ow! What was that for?” he asked me. I smiled “for ruining my life completely, I was happy to have my own table, my own little personnel space, and now my life is going to be more of a living hell than it usually is” I grumbled, crossing my arms over my chest. He laughed “see, that’s the sister I know, you chuck people when they even suggest something you don’t like, that should be you in school” he murmured. I sighed, “are you really going to transfer?” I asked. He nodded “yep” he said. I chucked him in the arm again and he rubbed it “I am going to have to call the police for big brother abuse” he whimpered flakily. I snorted “please, that’s nothing compared to what ill do to you if this doesn’t go as you planned” I said. He laughed “see, that’s the sister I knew” he said. My smile dropped, “the sister you knew doesn’t exist in school” I whispered. He stopped in front of our house. He turned to me and looked me straight in the eye “to you she doesn’t” was all he said. He got out of the car, and I followed him slowly, coming into the house “thanks for driving me home” I murmured as I was walking upstairs, I heard a grunt, and I almost laughed. I walked into my room and plopped down on my bed, my room is big, I have my own bathroom, my floors are carpeted with cream colored carpet, the walls are a very light blue, like the sky, and my ceiling has different colored polka-dots on it, courtesy of fathead customizable wall stickers, I love my polka-dots. I ran my hand along my grass green bed, it’s supposed to feel like I’m sleeping in the forest, but with the polka-dots covering the ceiling, it feels like I’m sleeping in a fun house. I keep my room extremely clean, there isn’t even a small stain on the carpet. I cant say that much about Jared, Hail and Jake, they are slobs when it comes to their rooms, they never clean, and I wont be their “maid” as they want me to be, they only clean there room when it starts smelling like old feet rapped in burnt bacon, literally… or when a girl is coming over, which-I might add- has happened quite allot. I have considered calling a maid, but once, I called a maid, she came over, and the guys scared her because of how much they drooled over her, she was about nineteen, and she came in one of those black and white mini skirt outfits, they ended up scaring her off. I decided I would call and ask for an older woman so they wouldn’t scare her off… or a man in general. I picked up my phone and dialed the maids service, “hello, welcome to the Highlander’s maid service this is Kathleen how may I help you?” the woman asked. Yes, we have a maid service, that’s pretty much how my parents got rich. “yes, hello, my name is Kaila Highlander, I am looking for an older maid, around forty or a man, do you have anyone like that?” I asked, getting to the point. I heard rustling of paper “yes, we have a woman free, she just turned twenty four, has the most experience in this line of work, can work through the week, her name is Jean” she said. I bit my lip “and you don’t have anyone a little older?” I asked. I heard more paper “no, I’m sorry, our youngest is fifteen” she murmured. “okay, Jean is fine then, can she start immediately?” I asked. “of course, ill send her over right away” the woman said. I nodded “okay, thank you, bye” I said. “it was my pleasure, bye” she murmured. I hung up and ran downstairs “okay, I have hired a maid, she is twenty four, her name is Jean and you will not scare her off, do not flirt with her, understand?” I asked in a threatening voice. Jared looked shocked but nodded “she is too old for me anyway” he said. I nodded once, not convinced, and went back to my room. I got a text, I pulled my phone out of my pocket and groaned “where did you go?” Hail texted. “to the moon, what do you care?” I texted back. He texted back immediately “I am your brother you know, I do care where you go, and who you go with” he texted. I snorted “yeah, you wouldn’t care if I went to a dark alley with a suspected serial killer rapist and I’m home with Jared” I texted. This boy can text! He sent back immediately after I sent it “I would too! And okay, we’ll be home in a few minutes” he texted. I rolled my eyes and put my phone in my pocket, “you know, the reason I brought you home is because I overheard Hail and Jake planning to pour paint on your head in gym” he said. I nodded ’yeah, I knew that, they really shouldn’t have planned it in the room right next to mine” I murmured. “oh, so what were you going to do?” he asked. I laughed “look for the paint bucket, then, as their raining
