Chapter 5 - Chapter 5

"Wakie wakie, Ashy," said Raphael. He was standing next to the car, and I could only make out half of his frame.

 I extended my arms fully and gave a slack yawn. Yawn*

 "What is the purpose of your intense stare?" I automatically cover my chest with my arms, as if I were nude or something.

"Would you mind getting off the car?"Raphael questioned me.

 I turned to look around and saw Jayden and the driver offloading our boxes. Whoa! We had arrived home. I slowly descended, my vision still a little fuzzy.

 After they had finished bringing the luggage inside the house, the driver was ready to leave.

 "Goodbye Ariel, I will see you around," He pressed the accelerator and took off quickly.How come he called me Ariel?I could not help but recognize the name Ariel.

 "Where did I hear about it?" was the question running through my head.

 Rapheal was saying, "Home...sweet home."

 I examined the structure carefully; it resembles a mobile home.

 I give a nod.

A tiny smile crept onto my lips when I noticed a tiny garden filled with roses and lilies in its place, along with a lone almond tree bearing a few nuts..

"It is really lovely!" I entertained a mental thought..

Perhaps Raphael had a point.I may never leave this wonderful house.

 Someone taps me on the shoulder, and I turn... Behind me are Jayden and Raphael.Jayden digs his hands into his pockets while Rapheal flashes a beaming smile.

 "So...what are your thoughts?" Raphael enquired.

 They were both staring at me expectantly, waiting for me to say something.

 I smirked mentally; they were now asking for my opinion...so it really did matter.

 "Ashy, is it to your liking?"It was Raphael again.

 I give a nod.

 "Well... it is not bad."

 Jayden lets out a sigh of relief as Raphael claps his hands together; a tiny smile twitches the corner of his mouth; he was genuinely concerned that I would not like the location.

 "Very good," exclaimed Raphael.

 Jayden flipped to face the door. As we made our way to the door, Raphael pulled me along with him.I am hoping the interior will not let me down.

 I halted suddenly.

 "What about school?"

 They both scowl.

 "School?" They asked at once.

 "Yeah...when will I resume school?" This is my senior year, and I cannot be left behind.

 Raphael laughed.

 "Chill...Jay did not forget you were a bookworm."

 "Bookworm? Me? No way!" I broke him off.

 He arched his left eyebrow at me and said, "So you are a...nerd?"

 "Nor am I a nerd!" I grew irate.

 He gives a desperate nod.

"Yes, indeed...!"id.

 I grinned.Well, at least they were aware of my passion for learning.

"Whoa!"

I was overcome with awe at this location's beauty. It is truly a thousand times more beautiful here than it was at our previous house..

Beneath the Parisian plaster, there is a gorgeous glistening chandelier. My eyes found their way to the tall French windows and the...

Hold on, now is not the moment for a description.The room that faces the garden through its window must be mine..

I yelled before rushing there."Rapheal! Bring my luggage in..

He grumbles, but I can hear him pulling my luggage along..

Once inside, I made my way straight for the window.As I cracked it open and inhaled the crisp aroma, I grinned..

Amidst the flowers, I could see the butterflies soaring..

"I had a feeling you would adore this location!"Raphael spoke behind me.e

I rolled my eyes at him because, at the time, it seemed like he knew me too well..

 Raphael left my bags behind and headed outside.I shut the door after him.I sighed deeply as my eyes scanned the empty room. I had better get started unpacking.

 I heard Jayden say, "Adam, we need to talk," from my room. He was speaking of Raph. Jayden's room was down the passway, and Raphael's was directly across from mine.I adored it exactly as it was.*smiles*

 From his room, Raphael cried, "Just a minute, Lion."He was undoubtedly in the shower.

 Still packing my clothes, I thought, "Neatest kid."

 *giggles*

 Jay said, "Adam, meet me at the basement," and descended the steps.

Aarghh!

I detest it when my brothers refer to themselves by those strange names when I am not around. Raphael bolted from his room and made his way downstairs.I wonder what they planned to discuss..

*sigh* 

I collapsed into the plush bed with a loud sigh.When I was finally finished unpacking, my splitting headache called for a quick nap..
