《》Chapter 20

This morning during training, Theo had me do the usual. 100 squats, 50 laps, but this time he added in hurdles. Talk about embarrassing. By the time I got to the fourth hurdle, he was on the ground clutching his stomach from laughing so hard.
"I.. have never.. seen.. someone fail.. so bad.. at.. jumping hurdles." He says in between laughs, and I glare at him.
"I am a soccer player, not a ballerina! This is ridiculous, Ross." I yell at him and glare, and he looks up at me and pretends to wipe tears from his eyes. He gives me the most serious look.
"Obviously your dance lessons didn't pay off." Jacob who thought it would be fun to watch bursts out laughing again, and I begin to walk towards the gym door. I almost got to the knob when Ross ran in front of me and blocked the door.
"We're am done, I swear. Get back to your training." I roll my eyes and go back to running laps. The hurdles disappeared, so I guess he really wanted me to finish this training. Once I am finished my laps, Jacob walks over to me and looks me up and down.
"You are getting stronger." And Ross states, and I cross my arms over my chest.
"What are you talking about? I am strong. I mean, look at these guns." I hold up my arm and flex, and they laugh before look at each other and go completely serious and flexing there muscles.
"Show off's." I mumble as I walk towards the door, and they laugh. Ross goes to his office, and I walk up the stairs towards my bedroom. I almost got toppled by Alex on my way, but it is all good.

"Darcy! Please tell me you know how to cook." He yells, and I give him a confused look. Don't they have a cook here?
"Yeah, why do you need me to cook?" He practically gets on his knees and starts begging.
"Please, Darcy! I am starving! They don't feed me in this house!" I roll my eyes and laugh.
"I know you get fed, so what is the real reason?" He stands up and looks to the ground.
"The cook has the day off and Ross is angry at me because i broke his phone... and watch...and every clock in the house." He mumbles, and I burst out laughing , beginning to walk back downstairs.
"I guess I can whip something up." He jumps with joy and runs down the staircase.
"Praise the Lord, hallelujah! I'm not going to starve!" He runs into the kitchen, and I burst out laughing again. When I get to the kitchen, he is sitting on one of the stools with a fork and knife in his hand.
"What do you want?" I ask, and he shrugs his shoulders.
"Whatever you make best." I look around the kitchen and grab a pot. I then grab spaghetti noodles, salt, pepper, seasoning, tomatoes, and sauce. I turn on the stove and get all of the stuff ready. When the burner is heated, I set the pot of water on the stove and let it boil before I put in the spaghetti noodles. As that is cooking, I slice up some potatoes and put them on another burner. I let those cook, and put the tomatoes and seasoning in the spaghetti.
I pour salt and pepper on both the spaghetti and potatoes, and when the potatoes are a golden brown and the spaghetti is fully cooked, I take them off the burners and put them in bowls. I add the sauce to the spaghetti and sprinkle some Montreal on the potatoes, and then I grab plates.

I turn around to see that the whole household has joined, and it is a good thing I made extra. I set the spaghetti and potatoes on the table, and I have never seen people wrestle over food so much. Once everybody has what they want, I grab a plate and give myself some food. I sit beside Hazel at the table, and everyone begins to eat.
"I'm keeping you forever, Darc. This is amazing." Alex says as he stuffs his face and I laugh. Ross and Charles shake their heads to agree. Jacob turns to me and gives me a smile.
"I agree, sis. You got some talent hidden up your sleeve."
After dinner i went to me and Rosses room to watch twilight with Alex and Jacob and Charles and Ross talk about
and in the room watching twilight is where we all fell asleep
