Chapter Text
SJ
SJ was pissed. His damn sister left him at home this morning, and he couldn’t find her to get a ride home. He should be driving his own car, but that has currently been taken away from him in his latest stand-off with his father. The two Stevens of the house could fight over what way the wind was blowing. His mother kept telling him that he was exactly like his dad, and both of them would yell, “they weren’t.” He was no one but himself, and it drove him up the wall when his mother said they were the same. As if he was like his must have his way, pain in the ass, always has to be right dad.
So here he was storming around school looking for where The Princess of Everything was. If he didn’t love her so damn much, he would resent her. Sometimes when he was in a mood he did get jealous of how much easier his parents or mostly his father was on her. Scarlet could almost do no wrong, and in fairness she was hardly a rebel. When she did break rules, she was a master at manipulating their dad, but that was when Mom always jumped in. All of that was besides the point, right now he just wanted to get home and his sister was nowhere to be found.
He checked all her normal spots with the stupid cheerleaders, with the soccer girls and the library. God, His Sister was such a goodie goodie, it was entirely possible she could be studying on a Friday afternoon but nothing.
Where the hell was she? Every minute that ticked by he was getting angrier with her, this is a girl who lived and died by a schedule, always nagging him to be on time, and she had disappeared, leaving his ass stranded. To say he was annoyed was a vast understatement. He rounded the corner to check the parking lot again when he heard her giggle. There she was, leaning up against the wall, her one foot straight and the other against the wall. She looked like she was glowing from the inside and what or rather who was causing her giggle was Haze. SJ wasn’t stupid, he knew as soon as he spotted Scarlet and Haze this morning, the guy was interested in her.
He watched the bastard tip his sister’s chin up and all of a sudden, something shifted inside of him. He had witnessed his dad do that to his mom a million times and the expression on Scarlet’s face could have been their moms. He didn’t like it, and he didn’t like what happened next. He watched Haze lean down and start to kiss his sister, and that’s when the day went from annoyance to hell in a hand basket.
