"Nessa, Nessa", a deep voice shook me awake.
I turned over and saw my adopted brother Damion looking down at me. His eyes were glassy with fear, and he held a stuffed tiger in his left hand. I smiled softly at him. Yes, yes I know the bad boy of Los Angeles Private High School was cuddling a stuffed black wolf. "Nightmares again?", I asked him. He nodded. Sometimes he remembers when he was raped. It was bad from what I could tell by the time the police found him, he was bleeding to death. I mean he was like 8? 9? and a knife was shoved up his ass.

I scooted over and he crawled into my sheets. Tears began to stream down his face silently. I said nothing, but I gave him a big hug. I felt so bad that I couldn't do more.

As I was about to fall back asleep, Ricardo came in with a stuffed albino lion. My, my, even their stuffed animals were opposite, white lion and black wolf. Seems it's a night for nightmares. Ricardo, I'm sure, was dreaming of his mom. On her death bed. "I know she's gone in body, but she's here in spirit and she's in your heart", I whispered quietly. He shuffled to my bed and crawled in. And then he realized at the same moment Damion that the other was in the bed.

Here we go.

"What's he doing here", Ricardo spat.
"What's his problem", Damion growled.
I suddenly saw red. I was tired and helping the both of them and they dare have a row at this ungodly hour of the morning.
"Shut up you two. I'm tired of your arguments and rows. I know you both are upset but do you know what time it is", I whispered. Oh dear, that's when I'm mad. I don't yell with flaming hot anger, I become ice cold. And both my brothers knew this. They were speechless at my outburst. "Got nothing to say", I continued, "No I hate you's? No why does he exist? Well, I give a total of 2 fucks on how much you hate each other. If you two can't get along get out of my room and fight somewhere else. Actually don't. We are resolving this matter at this very moment." They both nodded in fear.

Then Geordi walls in holding a grey tiger and rubbing his eyes. "What's going on?", he squits. Then he miscalculates, tries to sit on the edge of my bed, and somehow ends up sprawled out on the ground. The other two giggle. Geordi then sits up, dives on my bed, and tries to strangle Ricardo and Damion. "Stop it!", I snapped.

I sighed and felt my anger recede. My voice went back to normal. I am one mood-swinging bitch. "We are doing this now. Geordi, you always think that your smarter and therefore better than all of us. Damion, you always act like we are a waste of time. Ricardo, you ignore us. Even though not by blood, we are siblings. And this spat will get us nowhere. So tomorrow at school, we are going to announce to the world that we are siblings. And next week, for our birthday, we are having a party at our house and we're inviting the whole school", I snapped at them.

I glared at them one by one, daring them to go against me. They blinked. "Great", I ploughed giving them enough time to take in the information, but not enough time to retaliate. "Wonderful, I'm glad you agree. Now for how we go about doing this, we'll wear matching outfits tomorrow and go in one car. I know that none of your friends have ever been inside the house, due to the reason that you wanted no one to know you were related to each other. So tomorrow you'll invite your closest friends here. I don't care what you do after that. Just don't fight. And we'll tell everyone that were quadruplets. If they ask about our last names, just ignore the question. Now go to sleep, we have to get up at like 6:00 am for school." They all nodded. Nothing was said for the rest of the night and we all piled into my bed and went to sleep. Well, I did. I don't know about those three dumbasses.

6:00 am
Brrrrrring-a-ling-a-ling! My alarm clock sang. I smacked it across the room. All my brothers groaned. I crawled out of bed and chose out all of our outfits for today. Once I showered, I put my brown hair that I just died my tips purple in a high ponytail. Then I prepared breakfast. Pancakes of course.

I looked down at my outfit. I had on a white long sleeve crop top and black jeans with black and white sneakers. I had silver hoops in my ears. On my left ear, I have an industrial piercing that had a silver arrow. My neck was adorned with a simple silver necklace and I had an intricate silver ring on my left middle finger.

Soon enough, Geordi came downstairs. He had on a black shirt with a white blazer, tucked into black pants. He wore his regular black dress shoes and white socks. "Nessa", he said holding out earrings, "can you put these in please?" I put on the small silver simple stoppers and an arrow through his left ear. Then he pulled a simple sliver band out of his pocket and slipped ut on. Then he proceeded to dignifyingly stuff his face with pancakes.

Ten minutes later, Damion and Ricardo came downstairs, to gobble down there breakfast. Damion had on a white vest, black jeans, and a white and black checkered shirt opened over the vest. He wore an arrow in his left ear and a chunky silver necklace around his neck and his left middle finger was adorned with a chunky silver ring. He had on white and black high tops and his classic casually messy black hair but the tips were orange, bringing out his very orange eyes. Ricardo had on a white t-shirt, black jeans, and white and black high tops. He also had an industrial piercing and wore an arrow throw it. His platinum blonde hair now had green tips that I added in. A thick silver necklace was around his neck and a silver ring was on his left middle finger.

I handed them breakfast plates. "Nessa, I love you and all but this is the worst idea you've ever had", commented Ricardo. Damion nodded in agreement. "First of all, Ewwwwwwww. Ricardo chew with your mouth closed, please. And secondly, this is the best idea I've ever had. Because you all have a reputation to uphold, you can't necessarily hate each other in public. Damion usually ignores you, Ricardo, you are a mister nice guy and Geordi doesn't even engage with you all at school. So you have to be nice in public because of your reputation and nice at home because, cameras", I replied. Damion frowned. As you can tell Damion doesn't talk much.

8:00 am
Once they ido- *ahem* -my brothers were done eating, I jumped off my seat. I clapped my hands together, "Alright Damion is driving and we're taking the Tesla X." I grabbed my fuzzy cream-coloured backpack and skipped to the garage.
"Which one?", Ricardo yelled after me.
"The black one, with the white wheels", I shouted back, stopping in front of the car.

Once everyone was in the car, Damion pulled out. I smiled to myself. My plan was working.

At this point where do I go?
Left, where no one is right?
Or right, where no one is left?
Forward and we'll go together.
