Tight Strings: Rules Were Made To Be Broken (COMPLETED)

It was Saturday and thanks to the universe actually being on my side today, my students had to retire early for an exam they were having the next day.

I glanced up at the clock on the wall as I packed my history books only to freeze when I noticed the disciplinary guide book just under my purse. I lifted the book to my face and sighed when I knew Ash won't be coming for this week.

Probably next week as well.

My phone suddenly vibrated and my heart leaped into my throat as I reached down to the pocket in my jeans and pulled it out, only to frown when it was just my mother calling.

"Yes mother?" I asked and sighed with a small nod, despite knowing too well she couldn't see me. "I'll be right there. I'm done anyway." I cut the call and hurried outside as I threw the bag over my shoulders and hurried down the flight of stairs.

My mum said they picked a sibling for me.

A smile spread across my face as I chuckled to myself.

If I liked the picture, I would agree to it. If I didn't, I won't.

Monday

I gasped as I leaned on my knees, completely out of breath as I stood at the gate, shaking from the running experience.

The bus was an hour late for me so I decided to run instead and not stop for a moment.

Take it as my jog for the day.

Make it a three days.

I ripped the back of my hand against my forehead as I rushed into the gate and straight for the door, nearly alerting the guards that had opened the door for me.

My heart hang in my throat and couldn't stop swinging around to the point I thought I was going to chock it out.

I kicked the door shut and took my shoes off, tossing it to the ground in hope of recollecting them later.

If I'm lucky, we'll go get her today.

I skipped happily towards the sitting room only to hear the voices of my father and mother talking as though they were whispering.

Not a surprise there.

I stepped into the sitting room only to choke on air at the new figure in the house.

A new small.... Small figure.

"You went ahead and didn't even ask if I was okay with it!?" I thundered as I pointed sharply at my father who smirked a little at me. "It was you! You didn't even need my consent and went ahead to go get him." I frowned and glanced down at the little boy staring right up at me through thick long lashes and large brown eyes. "And it's a boy..."

"I make the rules and choices in this house Riley Dove Monica Marker." My father said then pointed out at the boy in front of him. "This is Brian Lemmen. He'll be known as Rhy Marker from now on." He said and I sighed as I stared at the boy in front of me.

I guess I just need to accept it.

"This is your sister, Riley Dove Monica Marker." My father introduces and the kid simply nods his head with a straight thin line on his lips.

"Uh... Hello." I smiled and he simply stared at me.

Oh na uh.

This isn't it.

"Fa-"

"Don't start. You'll get used to it in a matter of time." My father objects and I pout my lips as I crossed my arms over my chest.
