"I can't believe we've been moved again."

"Quit your damn whining already."

Kara rolled her eyes at her two younger sisters. "Taylor, Rave, knock it off." the seventeen year old said. Her grey eyes wandered around the new bedroom and she was quick to choose the bed on the far side of the room, away from her sisters.

Sighing, Kara tied her elbow length black hair into a sloppy bun and began unpacking.

Taylor cursed, carelessly tossing her bags into the closet. "I'm beat, but I'm about to check out the town. Life's too short to be hanging around this dump."

Kara wrinkled her nose. "Tay, you're sixteen. You have your entire life comming ahead of you."

"For once, I agree with her." Rave commented, setting her bags on the top bunk and then heading to the door. "I'm fourteen and feel like an ancient prune." Her wide blue eyes met Kara's. "You comming or what?"

Taylor's cat-like jade green eyes gazed at her steadily. Her lips curved into a smirk as she shook her head. "Another assignment, right?"

Kara nodded. "You know why we moved. Let's try not to mess this one up or it's off to an all girls boarding school for us."

"Mom and Dad are leaving." Rave commented, looking out the one of the two windows of their bedroom.

"Rave, Taylor..." Kara stated slowly. "let's try to make this place worthwhile."

"Whatever." Taylor snorted irritably. She grabbed a black baseball cap and tossed her shoulder length black hair into a pile beneath the hat. "I'm going to go practice outside." she said before nabbing her skateboard and heading out.

"I don't think she's happy." Rave snickered.

Kara shrugged. "So, what do you think school's gonna be like?"

"Don't know. Don't care, actually."

Kara rolled her eyes and picked up a book. Better to read and drown out the rest of the world than arguing with her sisters.

"Rocky help!"

"What now?" Rocky whispered impatiently. He set his homework down and looked over his shoulder to find his younger brothers wrestling for a bag of chips.

"Rocky tell Colt to get off me!"

"Not a chance you runt! Those are mine! I hid them under my pillow you weasle!" Colt argued. He was sitting on Tum's back, holding one of Tum's arms behind his back with his knee digging into Tum's back. "Cough ém up!"

Rocky stood up. "Colt! You're sixteen! Can't you grow up?"

Colt snatched the bag of doritos from Tum Tum's hand and leaped to his bed in a content manner. He cast a sideways glance at his two brothers, his cold blue eyes showing irritation. "Make me."

"One of these I just might, Colt." Rocky sighed, sitting back down and staring down at his English homework. He frowned, not in the mood to do anymore schoolwork. He turned towards Colt and Tum Tum. "Thanks a lot for making me lose my concentration guys." he said, voice full of sarcasm.

"You're welcome." Tum Tum said with a smirk. He threw a pillow at Colt and dashed out of the room.

Colt sprang up, hitting his head on the bunk.

Rocky watched amusedly as Colt cursed and rubbed his head, his face bright red with irritation. He looked over at Rocky and glared.

"What're you lookin at?" he snapped. He didn't wait for a response and took off running.

Moments later, Rocky could hear the shouts of Tum Tum and Colt downstairs. He closed his eyes and shook his head. "Please don't break anyth..."

The sound of glass shattering echoed up the stairs. Rocky groaned and got up. His eyes fell on the window, at the house next door. Emily used to live there. He missed her quite a bit. Ignoring the sounds of his brothers downstairs was all he could do as he went to the window, noticing a girl with a book in her hands. He couldn't see her face behind the book, but he saw enough to know it was a girl. He wondered when the new neighbors had arrived. Probably during his studying, he hadn't noticed.

"Rocky! Colt's-hey!" Tum Tum cried out, rushing towards the window beside Rocky. He leaned forward a bit. "Is that a new girl?"

"Yeah, dimwit. They just got here a couple hours ago." Colt said, joining them. "There's two more outside."

"Hey guys!" Tum Tum piped. "Let's go say hi!"

"Sure. I suppose a small greeting would be nice." Rocky said thoughtfully. "Besides, it's time to get out of the house for a while."

"That one hurt." Taylor mumbled.

Rave nodded curtly, popping some MM's into her mouth. "You were okay. I mean, you managed a kick flip indie, but ollying over the truck was plain dumb. And uh, you shouldn't grind on the sidewalks. They can jump up and bite you on the-"

"Hey!"

Rave and Taylor turned to see who had greeted them.

Three boys waled over to them, and Taylor was quick to grip her deck and stand beside Rave. "Can I help you?" she questioned suspiciously.

"Whoa! Don't get defensive now." said the one with a red twizzler in his mouth.

"Yeah, we just came by to say hi." explained the tall, short-haired one. "We're your new neighbors."

Taylor looked to the one who hadn't spoken. One with long dark hair and evil looking blue eyes. She disliked this one already. "Pleasure..." she drawled sarcastically.

He cocked a brow. "We didn't come to start any trouble. We came to hang out. BUt if you're gonna be such a sourpuss-"

He was cut off as Taylor's deck smacked into his pretty face.

Rave stood immediately. "Sorry!" she apologized quickly as Taylor stomped off. She glanced over her shoulder and sighed. "My sister's been really touchy lately. She's usually a little nicer."

Colt rubbed his nose. "A little? How little?"

"Uh...she's not exactly trusting of strangers." Rave said quickly. She smiled suddenly. "I'm Rave."

"Hey." said the tall one. "I'm Rocky, These are my brothers. Colt, and that's Tum Tum."

"Interesting names." she commented.

"Rave! What'd you do to Tay!"

They all turned to see Kara walking towards them, her eyes on Rave. She looked defeated, frustrated and tired. She stopped dead in her tracks as she took in the three boys. "Oh...Hi."

"Kara, meet Rocky, Colt, and Tum Tum." Rave explained quickly. "Guys, this is my other sister, Kara. The angry one...well, that was Taylor."

Colt sat with the others on the sidewalk. He hardly spoke a word. Hell, his nose was still throbbing. How dare that girl damage his face? Did she think he didn't need his nose to breathe or something? Oh, he'd get her back somehow...

"Dumb boy." Taylor muttered, scribbling down some math notes. How dare he eye her as if she were his inferior and then speak to her that way? The other two, she could handle, but this one might spell trouble for her.

Ha. There goes the good part of moving. She's already slapped trouble in the face. Let's just see if trouble has a knack for biting back words, or fighting back.
