My Penpal is my New Step-Brother
Here's to the friends who were alibis
“Excuse me?” I sat up…I had no idea who this was…
“Mia it’s me!”
“Do you realise how many ME’s I know in my life!”
“BRIAN! It’s the Brian ‘me’ in your life!” my jaw dropped…and so did the phone.
“S-Sorry Brian you scared me for a second. No offence but are you sure you’re not stalking me?”
“How can I when I’ve only seen a picture of you and a description of you in our pen pal book. Nice nicknames by the way.”
“You’ve seen a picture of- never mind that how did you get this number?!”
“I asked my Dad about it…it’s been on our phone for 7 months. Then your Mom is on a date with my Dad in our kitchen.” Queue hyperventilating!
“Mia? MIA! BREATHE!” I slowed my breathing and took a deep breath.
“YOU! You live in Huntington Beach! Your Dad is Brian! B-But you’re BRIAN!” My quick paste speech was oddly okay for him.
“Yeah…I’m Brian JR. but so the confusion doesn’t happen my friends call me Synyster Gates. Or Syn.” I shook my head.
“I am still trying to wrap my head around the fact my Mom is dating my pen pal’s Dad!” I could almost hear the smirk in his voice.
“I know! Isn’t this cool! Your Mom is bring you down here next month for the wedding.”
Lights Out…
“Mia…Mia come on honey wake up!” blurry vision of my grand-ma in fuchsia
“Grand-ma?”
“I’m here Hun, try and sit up.” I felt myself gently being pulled up.
“That was one nasty faint Babe… straight from your bed.” I blinked quickly. I looked at the phone.
“B-Brian told me…Mom’s engaged?”
“He told you what! Oh, your mother will be so mad. Here talk to Brian he’s been waiting for an hour and a half.”
“Grand-ma!” I yelled laughing. Picking up the phone almost as if it touched my ear it just might explode…
“Brian?”
“Welcome back! Sorry I scarred you there. Jeez my Dad’s pretty mad.”
“Our parents are engaged…” I said slowly.
“Not to mention getting married next month, don’t faint!” he said quickly.
“Wow…”
“I know but from your picture you’re super pretty!” I blushed.
“Shut up no I’m not! How come you know everything about this!”
“Hey now! I don’t my Dad just told me yesterday he’s been seeing someone for 7 months and the engagement!”
“How did they do it? I mean every second month my Mom has had this business trip but- no!” puzzle piece one put in…
“Then every other month my Dad said the same thing… I guess since the wedding is in a month they wanted us to know.”
“Yeah.. Brian or bro.. I don’t know. Look I’ll talk to you tomorrow I have to go…eat or something. Bye.” I said closing my eyes.
“Sure. Bye sis.” After he hung up I had a shiver down my spine…or up my spine it didn’t matter I grabbed my CD player with Guns N’ Roses and made a really hot bath so hot when I will get out I’ll look like a lobster!
“Mia it’s me!”
“Do you realise how many ME’s I know in my life!”
“BRIAN! It’s the Brian ‘me’ in your life!” my jaw dropped…and so did the phone.
