Emily's POV
Sighing heavily, I turn around and make my way up the stairs to my supposed new room.
As soon as I pull the door open,my mouth hangs open and I'm struck in awe as I'm greeted by the only beautiful thing I've seen so far since I got here.
Ash and cream colored walls framed with portraits of bands and celebrity posters circulate the whole room.
"I never knew Kyle could be this neat" I mumble to myself as I walk further into the room, slamming the door gently behind me.
The room is divided into two parts with two beds framed by cream furniture surrounding the two mattresses which are both covered in brown bedspreads,cream colored duvet covers and pillows that are practically beckoning to me to test its softness.
The two beds sit by far ends facing each other at opposite angles of the room with each side having a bedside stool with a night lamp on it,a desk,drawers,wardrobes and thin brown carpets covering the floor.
A dressing mirror sits on one side of the room bedside a neatly arranged bedding which I suppose is mine cause the other side only has a small size mirror hanging on the wall with a bookshelf facing out the window.
To the far left of the room is a 24 inch flat screen tv with a cable hanging underneath it. A gray colored couch also sits in a corner of the room, furnished with colorful throws.
Beautiful plain cream colored curtains frame the window with lace inner curtains allowing beams of sunlight coming in through the window.
A photo frame with a picture of a little boy laughing as he's being held by a woman who is also smiling sits on a desk by the other end of the room where the posters hung, catching my attention and I slowly walk towards it.
"It better not be what I'm thinking" I say to myself as I bend over in an attempt to pick up the frame when the door flings open and my eyes shift towards the door to meet with a pair of gray eyeballs staring directly at me.
"And who the fuck…." The stranger is unable to finish his sentence as he's knocked down to the floor from behind.
My eyes shift to my brother who's standing behind him with the rest of my luggages in his hand along with a carton filled with my Asthma drugs and inhalers.
"Ouch... I'm so sorry bro" Kyle says as he walks into the room and sits the luggages gently on the floor before walking back to the stranger who is already halfway back to his feet, limping on one foot as a result of the heavy fall.
"What the fvck man,are you blind?" The stranger asks as he adjusts his clothes.
"Sorry bro, I wasn't paying attention" Kyle tells him.
"Whatever" The stranger says and then takes his attention back to me, standing innocently,a few inches away from the both of them "Who the fuck is she and what's she doing in my room?. Look man, if you're gonna bring your whores to my room then that is so not…. "
Kyle cuts him off by saying, "That's my sister, you moron!"
He continues, ignoring Kyle's unsubtle intrusion,"....happening and don't even tell me it was a mistake cause you and I both know...... Wait,what?" The stranger's eyes pop out like one who's seen a ghost and he shifts his eyes back to me, staring harder this time, making me feel uncomfortable.
I choose to ignore the mean things he just said despite knowing I'm in the same room with both of them and he vividly just called me a whore!
"Yeah I told you, remember? She'll be staying with us from now on" Kyle tells him and he stares at me with an unreadable expression written on his face before turning his gaze back to Kyle.
"Are you fucking kidding me?" He mutters loud enough to my hearing.
"Wait… what's going on here?" I interrupt, walking towards the both of them with my eyes fixed on my brother who's busy staring at me like a lost puppy who doesn't know it's whereabout.
"Sorry I might have….. forgotten to tell you that you'll be sharing the room with him" Kyle says reluctantly and I stare daggers at him.
"Are you kidding me?" I splutter in disbelief.
"That's what I think!" The stranger mumbles underneath his breath. I don't bother looking at him as all of my attention and anger is fixed on my obnoxious brother who is showing no remorse for his actions.
"Hey,you still owe me rent so you better cooperate, it's either you share with my sister here or get the fuck out of here" Kyle threatens, clearly joking.
"Fine" The stranger scoffs and turns around, walking out of the door,not without slamming the door loudly behind of course.
"What's going on here?" I ask my brother the moment it's just both of us left in the room.
"I've told you, you'll have to share with him and that's on period." Kyle says.
"Why? Can't I stay with you in yours?" I scoff in disbelief,angered by the nonchalancy in his words.
"No," He says in a stern voice.
"Why?" I ask.
"Because my girlfriend sleeps over at times and I wouldn't want to corrupt you by letting you stay and watch us fu…"
"I get it, I get it, please don't complete that" I say holding my hand up as I scrunch my face in disgust which only makes Kyle laugh.
"Can I not share with him please?" I ask,not because the stranger is bad but because he clearly doesn't wanna share with me and I also would prefer my private space.
I mean,why would I wanna share a room with someone who doesn't wanna share with me?
"Look Emily, you'll have to share with him or else you wanna stay in those God awful dorms,you can make your choice" Kyle says nonchalantly.
Talk about annoying!
"Why didn't you tell me about this earlier?" I groan in annoyance.
"Well, I'm telling you now and you have nothing to worry about, he won't be bothering you" He assures me.
"And how do you know he's coming back? He just left" I roll my eyes,folding my arms against my chest.
"He hasn't left yet" He says defiantly.
"And how sure are you?" I ask, rolling my eyes even more.
"Because his things are still here and I know him well cause he's my best friend,goddamnit!" Kyle says through gritted teeth, obviously tired of my questions.
"Whatever" I scoff.
"Now you can go ahead and unpack your things, that's your side of the room" He says, pointing across the room to the place where there are no posters of bands which I had earlier assumed as mine.
"Okay" I reply,sighing heavily.
"If you need anything, call me, I'll be in the living room" He says and without another word being said,he walks out of the room.
Remind me why I have such a jerk as a brother again?

Emily's POV As soon as I'm done unpacking my stuff and putting them in the right positions, I go down to the living room to join my brother who is seated on the couch, watching TV. "Hey" I say as I sit beside him. "What's up?" He replies, turning his head to look at me for a few seconds before taking his attention back to the Tv. "What are you watching?" I ask and face the Tv where an action movie is currently playing. "I have no idea, I just got here and came across this. It's probably one of Tyler's collections" he says, laughing. "Who's Tyler?" I ask. "Your new roommate. Remember?" He informs me. Oh,so his name is Tyler…. "Are you hungry?" Kyle cuts through my thoughts. "Yeah" I tell him,rubbing my hand in circular motion around my stomach as a way to buttress my point. "Okay, I ordered pizza, should be here anytime so…" His words are cut short by the sound of the doorbell ringing. "Should be the pizza guy,I'll get that" He says as he rises to his feet,making his way tow
Emily's POV I turn to face my brother who is standing by the entrance with a jug in his hand which he sets down on the counter. "Thief" I say and turn around, pointing at the thief standing behind me. I feel embarrassment wash over me as soon as I realize who the thief is. Tyler… Kyle stares back and forth between Tyler and I, looking confused. Tyler also has the same expression on his face as they both stare at me like I'm someone that had just been hit by a shipwreck. "I...uhm…I" I swallow, unable to form any audible sentence with the two piercing eyes fixed on me. "What are you doing with my baseball bat?" The deep masculine voice of Tyler asks behind me and I turn to meet his cold piercing gaze fixed on me. "I…uhm…I wanted to…" I'm cut off before I can even complete whatever nonsense was about to come out of my mouth. "Tell your sister to stay away from my things" He takes his eyes off me for a few seconds to look at Kyle and then back at me before adding, "For her own good
Emily's POV "Ahhhh" I groan in pain and so does Tyler. "What the fuck?" He growls loudly as he reaches for the night lamp on the bedside table, switching it on. "What happened?" I ask in confusion and sit up. "What are you doing on my bed?" He asks with a cold voice and I jump in shock as I realize I had come to his own bed while I was in a hurry to not get caught. How the hell did I miss that? I'm left speechless as I struggle for words,"I...uhm...I…" He cuts me off by saying,"Up" "Huh?" I ask stupidly, in confusion. "Get the fuck out of my bed" He says with a loud voice, sending shivers down my spine and I jump out of his bed, walking… practically staggering towards my own bed. Classes haven't even begun and I already feel like dropping out and going back home to my granny in LA where no one dares to yell at me or behave in such a rude manner towards me. "Just so you know. This is still my room and I do not want anyone else coming in here" Tyler's voice breaks through my t
Emily's POV Taking quick long strides towards the stairs, I make my way hurriedly to the bathroom as directed earlier by Kyle. When I step into the bathroom,the first thing that catches my attention as I stand in front of the mirror hanging on the wall is the wall cabinet resting by a corner of the bathroom and I walk towards it,seeing that there are four toothbrushes there, three old ones and a new one which hadn't yet been pulled off it's wrapper. I quickly tear the wrapper open and pull out the toothbrush. I also take the tube of toothpaste resting by its side, pulling the cap open as I slowly spill a layer of its content onto my toothbrush. Once I'm done with that, I walk back to the mirror and place my hand over my mouth. I exhale onto my palm and scrunch my nose in disgust at the awful smell that had just come out of my mouth and realization hits me instantly as I recall speaking to Tyler few minutes ago and his reaction after I had spoken to him replays in my head, hitting
Emily's POV The drive to the restaurant doesn't take us up to ten minutes and before I know it, we're both parked in front of a building with a signboard where 'Joe's Pizza' is boldly written on it. As soon as we climb out of the car,the cold air hits me and I find myself shivering beside my brother who doesn't seem bothered by the freezing weather as we head straight into the building. The place is a bit crowded with different people placing others while some are still waiting for their orders to be taken. From my observation,half of the people in the restaurant are mostly college students Despite the crowd,it doesn't take us long to spot Tyler who's seated at the far end of the restaurant in a corner with two girls and two other boys seated next to him. "There they are!" Kyle yells loudly over the crowd and then he takes my hand in his, pulling me along with him as he makes his way towards their table. The guy who's seated next to Tyler whispers something into his ear to which

Emily's POV Our orders were delivered late as a result of the massive crowd that had now filled the restaurant and also the orders that were being dispatched out of the restaurant. Tyler,however, had been very impatient and had even threatened to beat up the waiter if he didn't deliver our food soon. As soon as our food is brought to our table, Tyler,being the impatient one, starts eating immediately, barely engaging in any conversation whatsoever with any of us. Kyle on the other hand is busy discussing something related to soccer with Asher while I talk with Anna. Anna has been very sweet towards me during the last thirty minutes we've been here. She had told me a lot about herself and her twin brother Asher. I for one was really surprised that they both were twins,given that they looked nothing alike and were totally different from each other. I hadn't even in the least thought they were related, talk more of being twins. It's something that no one in their right minds would
Emily's POV This is unbelievable! For someone who has all but been rude to me since I got here,how dare he ask me to get him something from the fridge? Yeah I know I'm probably batshit crazy and all but he has no right to ask me that after being so rude to me and then all of a sudden he's being…. nice? Maybe he was just having a bad day when you came,my stupid subconscious mind tells me but I ignore her and storm off to the kitchen in anger. Neither of them seems to notice my displeasure as soon as I come back with both their orders in my hand, wishing I had poisoned it. I hand the plastic bottle containing water to Kyle and then the protein bar to Tyler. Our hands brush against each other for a split second but it doesn't last as he pulls away instantly like as if my hand were stinging nettles. Sighing tiredly, I walk back to where I was previously seated with Kyle now the new occupant,his long legs stretched on the couch. "Hey will you please move your legs, I want to sit do
