Taylor sat down on the sofa opposite the TV and without even bothering to open the TV, he just sat there looking towards the black television screen.
"Yo Tay! See that button on the TV called Power? You gotta press it if you want the thing to work!", Zac stated and grabbing the remote he opened it.
"I know that you smartass! Don't forget I've been using the TV more years than what you have! Did it ever occur to you that maybe I didn't want to watch TV? DUH! Do I have a clever brother or what?", Tay sounded pissed.
"Well, sorry! I just assumed that you were going to watch TV, how was I to know that you like sitting in front of the TV and just looking at the black screen? What do you think I am? Psychic?", Zac fiddled with the remote till he spotted a Tiny Toons cartoon. "Allright!", he yelled and settled down to watch it.
Taylor rolled his eyes and got up to leave. How could anyone possibly find some privacy in this house? He thought to himself and climbed the stairs up to his room. He opened the door and moaned when he saw Isaac lying on his bed reading a book, "oh, you're here...", he said.
"Nice to see you too Taylor", Isaac said looking up from his book and then continuing to read it.
"Sorry, I know it's your bedroom too...", Taylor walked over to his bed and sat down.
"You got that one right, and I wasn't planning on leaving", Isaac stated without looking up from his book.
Taylor sighed, "Sometimes you just can't find any privacy in this house, there is just so many of us!", he said kicking one of Zac's shoes that was lying on the floor near his bed.
"Yeah, maybe mum should kick Zac out, he counts for at least 4 people with all the noise he makes!", Isaac laughed to himself putting his book down, "So is there something you want to talk about with your older and more experienced brother?", he grinned to Taylor.
Taylor sighed, "It's Tania. I mean I like her and all, but she keeps making me go to these boring tea parties with her friends all the time. And it's okay for me to go out with her friends, but no way will she go out with my friends. And now my friends are telling me that she is making me into a girl! People already say I look like a girl, soon they will be saying that I act like one too!"
Isaac looked at Taylor for a couple of seconds and then burst into laughter, "Tania does ALL that to you?!? Wow! I didn't know that you went to tea parties!! Wait till I tell mum, won't she be proud! MUUUM!!!", Isaac started to call out.
"Oh, shut up Ike! It's not like I want to go to those stupid things! She makes me I tell you! And if I don't go she gets all upset and gives me the 'you don't love me' crap. And I'm the only guy there, well, apart from Peter Robens, but he is gay anyway, he even organizes some of them", Taylor sighed again, "I'm doomed, she is taking over my life!", he said putting his head in his hands.
"Well, if it bothers you so much, why don't you tell her that either she gives you some space, or you're out?"
"You think I sould?", Taylor sounded surprised.
"Well, mum won't be very happy, she thinks that's she's the cutest and sweetest girl you have ever brought home".
"Yeah, and who doesn't, she is just so polite and always wanting to help out. I mean, she spends more time in the kitchen with mum helping her with the cooking or whatever, then with me whenever she comes over, some times I feel like killing her!", Taylor said and lied down on the bed, looking towards the ceiling. "Besides, she is so vunerable that if I tell her, she will probably start crying and make me feel guilty for the rest of my life", he moaned buring his head in his pillow.
"Do you prefer feeling miserable for the rest of your life?", Isaac pointed out, "Maybe you should stay with her and get married, have a dozen kids, live in a pink house in the country and have LOTS of tea parties, by the time you die around 90 just imagine how many you can fit in!", Isaac laughed again at the thought of it.
"Okay Ike, you had your fun! I'll go call her now, before she invits me to another of her stupid, boring outings with her silly friends", Taylor said getting up on his feet and walking out of the room, leaving Isaac with a huge smile still on his face to read his book.
"Telephone, Zac!!", Mrs Hanson yelled out to Zac to get the phone.
"Zac lifted his body from the couch in front of the TV from where he had been sitting for the past couple of hours having watched all the morning cartoons, luckly it was a Saturday and so he didn't have any lessons.
"Hello?", he answered the phone.
"Zac, hey! How's it going?", his friend Nick answered back.
"Okay, just watching some cartoons on TV, wonna come over?"
"No man, I can't, my mum's making me do homework! Can you believe it? She's forcing me to do homework on a Saturday!", Nick sounded disgusted.
"Oh boy. That's too bad, I've got all Saturday to myself, unless my mums wants me to help her around with the housework or something... So how come you called me? Aren't you supposed to be studying?", Zac teased his friend.
"Actually I called to tell you that we'll be going out with the guys tonight, and guess what? Daniel, you know how he is? Always playing it smouth guy and all. Well, he was out yesterday and got talking to these chicks, or so he says, and he's asked them out. There's 3 of them, but I think they're gonna bring friends with them. So, what d'you say? Are you in?"
"Sure, count me in! I'm gonna have to get Daniel to teach me his techniques. It's certainly not his looks they all go for", Zac laughed at his nausty joke.
"Yeah, right Zac, you of all people don't even need techniques, you just have to look at girls and you have them crawling on hands and knees", Nick exaggerated.
Zac laughed and added, "I've always thought fame was good for something!"
"We're going out at 6, I'll call you a bit before okay?"
"Sounds okay, see you then", Zac said and after saying their goodbyes, hung up. He walked over to the lounge room and sat down with his two sisters who where watching My Little Pony. "Hey! Who changed it?", he protested.
"You shouldn't have left", Jessica said. "It's our turn now".
Not bothering to move he settled down to watch the cartoon, he would change the channel after that whether they wanted or not, he smiled to himself.
Isaac looked out of the window as a blue car rolled in their drive way. He watched as Lisa got out one leg after the other wearing a shortish black skirt, letting her long slim legs show. She pushed her sunglasses off her face and rested them on her head. Isaac smiled to himself and went downstairs to open the door for her.
"Oh!", she said almost jumping. "That was quick! I didn't even ring the bell", she smiled warmly at him.
"Yeah, I know, I saw you coming so I thought I'd get to the door before you did", Isaac said puting his arm around her waist pulling her close to him, affectionately kissing her on her cheek.
"You know I wish you wouldn't put all that make-up on, it's not like you need it anyway", Isaac said to her closing the door behind him and walking her out to his car.
"I'm a girl Ike, what do you want me to wear? Shaving creme?", she laughed and pecked Isaac on the cheek.
"No, I'm not saying that. It's not that you don't look good in make-up too, but you have natural beauty, and you can't see it with all that fake stuff on, besides, it makes it difficult for me to kiss you. I wouldn't want lipstick all over me".
"Oh, don't be such a baby", she said taking his face in her hands and kissing him on the mouth. "See, no lipstick. Technology has progrest you know".
"Okay, okay, I still think you look better without it", Isaac said getting in his car.
"We'll make a deal then", she said hopping in on the seat next to the driver's, "I'll wear make-up when I want to, but I'll cut down on the extras, okay?"
"Alright, whatever, you look beautiful what ever you", he said looking into her honey coloured eyes that showed out even more since she had cut her hair. She had boyish short dark brown hair, with her fringe hair coming down to her cheek bones.
She smiled at him for his comment, and then they took off to go over to one Isaac's friends who was having a gathering.
