"Rose" my friend Vicky nudge me.

"What it is?" I spoke without lifting my head from my book.

"Zander is staring at you" as soon as the words left her mouth I look at her with wide eyes

"He is staring at you" I look behind me and she was right he is staring at me.

"Probably staring at his next bully" I stated and continue to read my book.

***

Grounded

Zander P.O.V

"What is wrong with you?" she hissed. "Always picking a fight with someone in your school" I love my mom with all my heart but sometimes she becomes a dangerous woman when you piss her off. She will not stop until she is satisfied even dad can't stop her.

"Are you even listening to me?" she put both her hands on her hips trying to look intimidating. If I didn't come to this situation then I might have laughed at her.

"Ow," I rubbed my head where she smacked me. She rolled her eye at my misery. "Today what was the reason to beat the poor boy"

"I didn't like his shirt" she looked at me in disbelief "Really? This is the reason you beat him up" I hesitantly nodded my head if I said her my real reason she might laugh at me. "You are unbelievable. You know how I was humiliated when I got a call from your principal saying 'Your son is again involved in the fight' and now you are giving me this stupid reason" I pouted at her but she quickly looked at another side so that she will not fall in my champ "Mom, I am sorry"

"You are always sorry after every time you get into trouble"

"You are giving me a headache" She let out a sigh

"Should I give you a massage" I asked while walking towards her but stop after hearing her stern voice. "No, go to your room"

"Fine" I turn around to leave when she calls out

"And you are grounded for a week" I look at her with wide eyes "Mom you can't do that"

"Really? You can fight in school but I can't even ground you. Unbelievable. Now go to your room and do as I said before I give a call to your dad" with a huff I went upstairs.

I close the door behind me and I started smirking. I made my way to the window before I can climb out of it, someone enters the room.

"Zander, what are you doing?" Alex question with wide eyes.

"Should I call mom and tell her what you are up to?" He said while smirking, for 10 years old he knows how to get me into trouble. Alexander, Alex for short is an obedient child among all the siblings and sometimes it pissed me off. Now that I am grounded so mom sends him to look after me.

"Why are you here, Alex?" I asked him ignoring his last sentence.

"Mom said, you are grounded so she sends me here to look after you so that you should be in discipline," Told you so.

"I am a big boy, I don't need any babysitter so you can take your leave" instead of leaving he sat on my bed

"I don't have any better things to do so I will stay here and look after you" I groan and sat beside him

"I will buy your favorite chocolates if you leave" he shook his head and replied

"No, mom already gave me two boxes of my favorite chocolates" Mom knows me too much and its nit good for me. I have to leave this house before she leaves the library.

"Alex, what you want just tell me I will buy you if you leave"

"Mom said do not listen to you" Mom is two steps ahead of me.

"And mom said if you do anything stupid she will ground you for a month" I groan again in frustration and look at him with an evil smile. His eyes widen after knowing my intentions.

"Don't you think about that" I pretended to be confused and asked "What?" he was about to get down from my bed when I started tickling him and he busted into fits of laughter.

"St…stop oth…erwise…I…will… tell…mo…mom…about…i…it" he managed to tell between his laughter.

"I don't think tickling someone is a crime," I said and continue to tickle him when mom enters the room. I stop tickling him and he runs towards mom.

"Mom, he was tickling me" Alex complained while mom looked at him with mischievous in her eyes. She motioned for me to come over. She held Alex and started tickling him and later I joined her too.

"Both…o…of you…stop" we laugh along with him. The rest of the day went by teasing each other and nothing more.

The next morning I woke up with a slap on my face. I rubbed my eyes to remove the sleepiness.

"Scarlett" she giggles after hearing her name. Scarlett my little 7 years old sister. She is the only sister we have and she is started to become a spoilt brat. She wrapped her little finger around every family member.

"Mommy said to get up or if not she will come and make you" sure she will do that.

"I am up, my little sister, now go and get ready for school" she giggles when I kissed her forehead. She runs out of the room. I stretched and headed to the bathroom for a quick shower. After showering I wore a black jeans with a black T—shirt to go with the outfit I wore a black jacket.

After wearing black shoes and picking my school bag from my study table I made my way to the downstairs. I never made any effort to get ready for school this fast before but yesterday I couldn't see her so today I am going to school early so that I can see her beautiful face before my class.
