As the middle child of the house, it naturally came down that I was to be everyone’s servant. They all made me run around all day, doing their chores, getting their laundry done, helping them in their work and even as to do their homework for them

The start of that day was during the early June time. In the dreary corner of the house, was the room that no one really wanted. In there, among the sheets, my naked body rubbing them, the moisture of my skin soft, I, Zoe, sleep. The room that I called mine was not my first, second or even third choice. It was forcibly given to me. My parents, formally known as Mr. And Mrs. Barker, had smiled at me, in a sort of painful way and had told me to take the room, despite my arguing that my sisters were getting the better one. ‘Do it for your family Zoe’ they had said, knowing very well that I’d put them ahead of anything. And so I ended up in the smallest room in the house.

Waking up, I looked around the room. Everything was as I had left it, which was a good sign, meaning that nobody had woken up yet. On any normal weekend, my younger sisters would sneak into her room and destroy everything before I wake up. Looking at the clock on the wall, it read 8am. Normally I would be happy and satisfied with most of the things in my life, but that day felt off to me. It felt like everything was going to change.

Getting out of her bed I looked outside my window. The only plus thing about my room was that my window was the only one to be pointed towards the backyard. Normally this would have been useless, being as there was nothing to look at, for our house backed into a park; I enjoyed it because I often liked to stare out into the setting sun. It was one of those things that just seemed to be a fulfilling experience.

Not wanting to roam the house alone, I sat down on her bed and picked up the book that I had been reading last night. Despite being only 14, I had the intellectual level to match my older sisters. I was not exactly a nerd, but I always did manage to score top marks in my class and had been the recipients of many scholarly awards. After a while of reading, I heard some noise and realized that it had already been about 2 hours since I had woken up and everyone was up by then. I decided to go down cauz mom would be making breakfast and I didn’t want to miss out, knowing very well that Leslie would eat my pancakes.

I jumped out of bed again and was about to open the door when I stopped to look at myself in the mirror. It was a habit of mine. I had always thought that I had looked perfectly well until my older sisters had reached puberty. They had both grown into tall, astonishing ladies. They both had 36D by the time they turned 14 and when I had hit that number, she still was a 32B. At that point I became much more aware of my body and it got even worse, because my friends and family constantly compared me to my sisters, them often being dubbed the ‘better’ ones and boys often teased me cause of that.
Looking in the mirror, I hoped that body would start to grow soon. I stood at about 5’3″, with dark brown hair; and had kept it long, almost up till my waist. I was the only one in my family with dark brown hair, my mother and sisters all being stunning blondes.

Walking downstairs, I entered the kitchen and was immediately met with the aroma of pancakes. My mom, Susanne, knew how to make them perfectly and had always made them every weekend. A little info on my family: My dad, Bill, was a business man, who owned a company in the near town of Denver and had done quite well for himself, investing the originally small company from his father. His company had grown over the years and he now owned two plants of his company. He had met my mother Susanne in high school and they had been sweethearts. She was a very practical person, never wanting to stay at home and be a house wife, she had demanded that her husband allow her to work in his company and she held a job there as an executive. They had gotten married when they had graduated college at 22. And a year a couple of years later, their first daughter was born. They had named her Melanie. Another year later their second daughter Leslie had been born. And then next year came me, Zo?They had though about keeping the limit at that but then one drunken night had led to another pregnancy, which led to the birth of last pair of twin girls Rene and Chloe. That had been their bundle of kids and they loved us so. We had been living in a small apartment, when I had been born, but by the time the tins came around, they had decided that we needed a big house and since dad had been doing well at work, we could afford one. And so we moved across the town to a big house, which was cut off from the rest of the town, and had led to me being secluded into the smallest bedroom.


As soon as I crossed the kitchen door, I was pushed aside by Melanie. Melanie, the oldest, at 16 was an exact copy of my mother, right down to seductive voice. It was known in the entire family, a silent knowledge, that she was the most dominating one, as she had everything always the way she wanted. That didn’t mean that she was a cold mean bitch, even though she could be that at times to me, but I still loved her.


I ignored her sister and sat down at the table. On the each end of the table sat my parents and besides me sat Rene and Chloe. On the other side sat Melanie and Leslie and in the middle of them, right across from me, sat Sean. Sean was not a guest, not was he my sibling. He was her cousin/adopted brother. He had been living with us for almost a year now. The reason for his staying at our house was not often talked about by my parents, but from what I knew, both of Sean’s parents were dead and he had no other family. His mom had already died due to child birth, so he had always been with his dad. I had only had met once before, when I was 8, and hadn’t thought much of him. Eventually his dad died in a car accident and had he had no where left to go. My dad Bill and his father were brothers and since they could afford it, they adopted Sean, who since had been living at out residence. In the beginning he had been very quiet and didn’t talk much


We girls had often tried to get him to talk. Even though he was year younger than me, Melanie and Leslie treated him like friend and the rest tried hard too. Eventually he opened up more and soon he was an everyday part of our family. So as I looked at Sean, he smiled back at my. I, slightly turning red, twisted my head and ignored him.

I didn’t originally hate him or anything; it was just that, Sean had never really helped me out, though he had never ordered me around either. I felt that since he wasn’t truly a part of the family, he should be more grateful and help around more. Eventually this resentment of mine grew and after 11 months of living with him, I had come to despise him, though I myself did not understand why.

At 13, Sean stood at 5’6″ and was very thin. He had jet black hair that he kept mildly short and beautiful dark brown eyes. That was the first thing I had noticed about him, his eyes, that looked liked they did not belong on this scrawny kid, but rather on a dashing movie star. He reminded me of a princess rather than a knight. Even at this stage of his life, whenever we were walking in the park, him always following me along, I had often noticed that girls used to look at him and whisper to themselves and a lot of girls his age had been quick to ask him on a ‘play-date’. Even when Melanie and Leslie’s friends came over, they often used to ask about him and I had even notice a couple of them try to hit on him. But Sean always use to make a sad or scared face and quickly approach me with some sort of distracting task to keep him away. Maybe that was another reason I had come to dislike my new ‘brother’.


‘Hey mom’ Melanie suddenly said, ‘some of my friends and I are going to the mall today. I saw this cute top that’d go great with my D&G glasses.’
Susanne frowned. ‘Honey, you know very well that your father has to go to San Jose’ today fro some urgent business and while he’s gone, I have to be at work to handle things at this end.’
‘I know mom, but pleaseeee. There’s a sale on that top, and it’s only gonna last today.’
Susanne sighed. ‘I guess. But this is the last time sweetie.’
I frowned. ‘Hey, no fair mom, you know my friends are coming over today and Melanie promised me that she’s stay home.’
At the Barker household, the number one rule was that if someone was to entertain guests, there had to be at least two people present in the house to make sure things stayed in control.
‘It’s not fair to me. Leslie is going to go stay over at her friend’s house and the twerps have their friends’ birthday party to attend.’ I sulked
‘Hey stop calling us twerps, Ms. Boobless.’ The twins taunted back.
Mom immediately slammed her fist down. Everyone got silent. ‘Okay everyone that’s enough. Rene, Chloe, first of all, don’t you ever call that sister again. Second of all, Zoe honey, I know this is wrong, but I remember that Melanie actually did inform me about this, 2 days ago, so it’s kinda my fault I guess. I know this is unfair but you have to cancel this. There’s no one to help you out.’
I felt like she was about to break down. ‘Why does this always happen to me?’ the thought pounded in my head, as I felt the first streaks of tears from on my eyes.

‘Umm. I’ll help sis out’

Every one looked across at Sean, who kind of reclined with all the eyes on him. ‘I-I said that if it’s not too much of a hassle, I help her out, by staying.’ He smiled nervously
‘But Sean, don’t you have a soccer game today?’ Susanne asked
‘Yea Aunt Susanne, but Zoe s being treated unfairly, so I think I’ll sit this one you for her.’ He smiled, rubbing the back of his head.’
‘Well isn’t this superb.’ Susanne smiled’ well there you go honey, problem solved.’
I felt confused. Sean had never helped me out and due to his shy nature I wondered how he could be a good host. But realizing that I had no choice, I sighed ‘Fine. I guess he can stay.’

Everyone resumed their breakfast, with mom & dad talking across the table, Mel and Leslie gossiping about the latest fashion, and the twins discussing a joke they had heard. I had been observing everyone, and I turned to look to Sean and I noticed that he was doing something weird. He was staring into his cereal, mixing it with his spoon, but his mind seemed some where else and from I thought I saw, he was slightly smiling, something I hadn’t seen him do much. Maybe he just really wanted to help me?


My friends came over around 3 pm. By then everyone had left already and Sean was in the den reading a book. As my friends started gathering, they all went down to the den. They all stopped in their tracks when they saw Sean. He was sitting on the sofa and he had headphones on so he couldn’t hear us, but I realized why they were looking at him. He looked gorgeous and I do mean that. The angle of the sunlight, made him look like he was glowing.
‘Hey who’s that cutie?’ my friend Andrea asked me.
Then it hit me. My friends had never met Sean. At school, though we went to the same one, I always ignored him. Everyday at school he tried to approach me, but I had always pretended I didn’t know who he was. And whenever they had come over before, he had always been out or had stayed up in his room. He was always the type to avoid company if possible and as far I knew he didn’t have any close friends and besides his soccer team, he had no social contact. He always seemed like a loner to me and that made me feel frustrated, because I always felt that people, especially girls, were attracted to him and he always turned the opportunity down. I had amused my self by wondering not when, but if, he was ever going to loose his virginity. That thought always amused me for some reason.

‘Umm, he’s my step-brother/cousin’ I answered quickly
‘Well whatever he is, he’s looks like he’s just waiting to be corrupted.’ All my friends giggled at that. ‘Zoe perhaps you might try to seduce him? God knows you never had a boy like you.’ Andrea snickered
‘Shut up’ I said back. The thought of seducing Sean angered me. ‘He’s younger than me and for your information, I don’t even like him that much and I have plenty of boys to choose from.’
The truth was that I have never even been looked at properly by a boy. It’s not that I look ugly, but just that I don’t present myself well enough. I don’t dress up too exposed or even in a way that might show off my features. The biggest problem was that I always thought my eyes were enchanting. They were green and with my brown hair, made them stand out. But God likes to play unfair, and my eyesight hadn’t been the best, leading me to wear these glasses, which made me look like a bookworm. Never had a boy ever asked me out, or even show any interest in me. My sisters were considered the beauty of the school and me the black sheep.
I had never even kissed a boy. And from what I knew, at least two of my friends had already lost their virginity and the rest of them had let their boyfriends touch their breast and play with their pussies. I had always wondered what it felt like to be touched by a boy and had often longed for those romantic feelings.

‘Well whatever.’ Andrea said.
We started hanging out by watching TV and we soon decided to go up to my room and talk about stuff; mostly boys. I just listened because I didn’t know any hot stuff going on in school. This whole activity went on and I soon started having fun. When night rolled around and no one had been back, I was starting to get worried. During this whole time, Sean had remained on that sofa, listening to the music and ignoring everything around him.

At 8 pm, when the house was still empty, Andrea stood up. She got everyone’s attention and announced. ‘Okay listen up everyone. I have little game we can play, Truth or Dare. But there being one condition. If one of you decides to not to accomplish the dare, we will hold you down, take some lewd photos of you and hand them out to the guys in class.’ She grinned.

I was appalled. ‘No way, Andrea that’s too much. There’s no way I’m gonna allow that to happen.’ I thought everyone would support me in this, but then everyone looked up at me and shouted to play. I couldn’t believe it. They were all willing to play. I was about to say that I wasn’t gonna play, when Andrea again announced ‘And if anyone, refuses to play, I’m gonna tell the kids at school about who you’ve had sex with. And in Zo?8217;s case who she wants to do it with.’ I was taken back. I knew that Andrea was capable of that and I realized that I had no choice but to play.

And so we played. Thankfully my turn didn’t come and as I watched the rest of the girls do their tasks, I wondered to myself if it may have been better to not have friends over at all. Just then I was snapped out of my thought by Andrea, who asked me to accompany her into the next room. As we went in there, she asked me in a low voice. ‘Listen Zoe, can you get your cousin to play with us.’
I looked at her like she was joking. ‘No way, first of all, he’s very shy so he won’t do it and second of all do you think I’m not gonna protect him from this sort of craziness?’
She looked at me slyly. ‘I you can get him to play, I’ll get Ryan to sit with us at lunch tomorrow.’
I was taken back. Ryan McCall was the guy who I had a crush on. He was in my math and science class and we sat across from each other. I had liked him since the 6th grade and up till now in Grade 8, he had never noticed me. I was seriously empted by this offer. ‘Are you sure? You Promise?’ I asked
‘Of course, I am your best friend right?’ she said
‘But why do you want him to play?’
‘Cauz, look at him, he’s sexy as hell and considering how horny these other girls are I am betting that someone will dare him to go make out with someone. And I‘m gonna take my chance then.’
I was amazed. She was being stupid of course, but no way in hell was I gonna let a chance pass by to sit with Ryan. ‘Okay’ I said to her. She winked at me.

I made my way to the sofa Sean was sitting on and stood in front of him. He stood still, ignoring me, which pissed me off. What? Was he too good to listen to me? But just as I was about to shake him violently, I realized that he had fallen asleep. I stepped back. He looked so calm, so pure. His face was unmoving and his lips were formed in an expressionless way. I came closer to him and saw that he looked…sad? I didn’t understand. he didn’t show any emotion but somehow I felt like he was being tortured. I felt the urgency to feel his lips and let him know that I was there. Suddenly I realized, my face was less than an inch away from him. I jumped back. What the hell is wrong with me? Why the hell was I gonna kiss this jerk? I immediately shook him, wanting to distract myself. He woke up, panicking.

‘Oh Zoe, what’s wrong?’ he asked, in a low voice.
‘Umm…listen can ya come play with us please?’ I asked sheepishly
He was taken back, ‘I, ah, I don’t know.’ He looked around.
I wasn’t gonna give up. Hanging out with Ryan was on the line. ‘Well, it’d be big help to me and I would really be glad. I am getting kinda bored and you said you’d help me.’ I looked at him with pleading eyes.
He tried to avoid my gaze. He looked nervously at the girls across the hall and seemed hesitant. Then he sighed. ‘Sure I’ll play for you.’
I jumped up. ‘Cool. Thanks’

I dragged him down to room and as soon as I entered, the room burst into whispers. Sean looked nervous and I even more so.
As the game resumed, all the girls kept choosing dare. It seemed that they all had the same plan as Andrea in their minds. Finally it came down Andrea. She picked dare and waited for the girl across her, Cassie, to tell her to kiss Sean. But Cassie instead said that Andrea be slapped by the girl beside her. Andrea was shocked and before she could say anything, she had already been hit. Her face turned red. Was it from the impact or from anger, I couldn’t guess.

Then the game resumed, with Andrea sulking. I was absent mindedly watching all the girls, noticing their sparkling eys and either lust & desire so strongly exposed in them, when I happen to look at Sean and he had been already looking at me. I suddenly blsued and looked away. What the hell was going on with me? It’s just Sean, why the hell was I so suddenly tensed?

Then all of the sudden, I heard a yelp and looked down at the bottle: It came my turn. Now I was worried because if I opted not to do it, I would have my nude pictures taken forcibly. So I chose dare and Andrea, who sat across from me snickered. ‘All right, I dare Zoe to go into a dark closet with Sean and stay in there for 15 minutes.’
I jumped up. ‘No way, that’s gross. He’s my bother Andrea. Tell them Sean.’ I looked at him
But Sean was obviously turning red and kept his mouth shut
‘Oh but Zoe, aren’t you the dirty minded one. I never exactly said what you guys had to do while being in there.’ She laughed. I felt my face burn red and realized the situation I had gotten myself into.

So the next thing I knew, Sean and I were being dragged and were thrown into the closet. When I heard the lock snap, I immediately started banging my hands on the door. ‘C’mon guys, this is not funny. Let us out!’ On the other side I heard Andrea’s voice ‘not until you make out’
‘But why, didn’t you want him to yourself?’ I asked confused
‘Of course, but since I didn’t, I made sure that he was locked in with only girl he wouldn’t do anything with. This way if I don’t get him, No one else will.’

Oh perfect. So she’s taking out her anger on me, I thought to myself. I decided that Andrea was right and that the best solution would be to just remain calm and spend 15 minutes with Sean in here. I moved back and looked around the closet. It was a 6 X 9 closet, so there wasn’t much space to sit, there was a small climbing stood, which I immediately occupied. But the wall was the sidewall so there was a small window on the top, bringing in light form the backyard, lighting the closet, slightly.
As we were both sitting, each on opposite sides, I was contemplating on how to spend the time, when Sean spoke. ‘Sorry Zoe, its cause of me that we’re in this situation.’
I looked at him angrily. ‘You’re damn right we are. If only you had refused, this wouldn’t be a big issue’
He timidly looked away. But then I calmed down and realized that he was probably regretting the situation as much as me. ‘But its okay I guess. What’s done is done. Let’s just pass the time.’
He looked up at me and smiled. Even in the dark, his brown eyes shone and I wondered to myself why he didn’t ever play them up.
‘Actually I’m glad to be here. At least this way we get to spend some time together. Cause it seems like, you always hate me or just don’t like me,’ he said. When I heard this from him, I felt that it was like I was so wrong in doing that.
‘Sean. Why are you so God damn na?? You’re so soft all the time. Be a man for once and just stand up for whatever you want.’ I felt myself get angry for some reason
He looked at me. In the mild darkness, a normally someone wouldn’t be able to see anyone’s face, but I could see his perception clearly. For the first time, I saw him look not scared, but serious. I was taken back. ‘Why do you ask? Is there any point really to convince people? I always try to be nice in hopes that once day they will realize their mistakes and then we can actually get along. Why do you think I follow you so much? Have you ever noticed?’

‘What do you mean?’ I asked
‘Do you realize that I’m always looking out for you?
