“What the hell Jazz?!”
“Don’t start with me Danny, I am tired,” she ignored him and brushed off his anger like it didn’t matter. He knew logically there would be more parties and things to do throughout high school, but he couldn’t think logically right then.
“Stop acting like an old woman Jazz, you’re sixteen!” Danny pulled his hair, wanting to scream. “If you keep me from going out and doing stuff like this, how do you expect me to grow as a person?”
“I think that you will grow just fine Danny,” she patted him on the shoulder and went to the kitchen. His jaw dropped at the pure audacity out of his big sister.
Danny plopped into a nearby chair and banged his head on the nearest flat surface to him. Groaning loudly and waving his arms around, he called out, “Fine! Guess I’ll just grow then–into a vegetable! I’ll be a couch potato and I’ll never leave the house again, just planting roots into the ground until you have to start watering me.”
Jazz came back out at his complaints and raised her eyebrows. He knew he was being dramatic, she knew it too–did he care? Hell no. He would be the most annoying little brother he could be until she apologized for ruining his life year after year.
