Introducing Johnny Brice

I laughed. "Really? OK, well…. congratulations," I replied sarcastically, whilst rolling my eyes.

She laughed. "I'm serious. There's a new guy started today, and he is hot!" She fanned her face dramatically. I stopped dead in my tracks;

I bet that was him, my new stepbrother. Well that's just perfect, now Kate's going to be falling all over him and I'll be forced to hang out with him. Great, just freaking great.

"New guy?" I asked quietly. Liam rubbed his hand down my back gently.

"Oh, heck yeah! You should see him, he's yummy. But you've got Liam so I've called dibs," she said, grinning and skipping along beside me. "I don't know his name yet, Hottie McTottie suits him though."

She waggled her eyebrows at me and I couldn't help but laugh at her.

Jake threw his arm around her shoulder. "You know, I'm not used to you not wanting me, Kate. I'm not sure I like this new behaviour," he stated, giving her his flirty smile.
