((Kind of a lousy post even for casual, but hopefully it doesn't hinder anyone's posts. ALSO! Decided to go with "Brandt" for a last name - courtesy of Bailey))

♫I wanna stand up, I wanna let go You know, you know, no, you don't, you don't I wanna shine on in the hearts of men I wanna mean it from the back of my broken hand. Another head aches, another heart breaks I'm so much older than I can take And my affection, well, it comes and goes I need direction to perfection, no no no no♬

Ehren walked in the door of the house, dropping his backpack onto a chair. It had been another long, boring day of law school. He leaned on the back of the dining room chair and took a deep breath. Ehren hated law school. But could he tell his parents that? No. Every time he came close, he just couldn't bring himself to speak.
He shoved the chair in, his backpack tipping sideways onto the floor in the process. Sighing, he bent down to pick it back up, tucking the few loose papers that had floated out back inside. He looked up at the clock. The younger kids would be getting home from school soon.
♫Help me out, yeah You know you gotta help me out, yeah Oh, don't you put me on the back burner You know you gotta help me out, yeah Over and in, last call for sin While everyone's lost, the battle is won With all these things that I've done All these things that I've done.♬
"Hey Kay." Her friends greeted her as she slipped into their small, but fashionable clique. She smiled at them, feeling genuinely happy at the ease they accepted her in. Despite having died her hair in the past month and begging her mom to get her a new set of clothes, she still fit in. That's all it really took here to belong. She still had to get her nails done though, and because of this she self-consciously hid her nails inside of a fist.
"Hey guys. I can't stay long right now. My mom is going to take me to get my nails done today." She said, feeling a need to compensate. Her small comment immediately set off a bunch of excited gerbiling as they immediately put in their individual two-cents on what colors she should get and how long, and Kaylyn could only beam at the attention. After a long 30min of talking with them, from nails to shoes, to boys, Kaylyn said her farewells and rushed off down the sidewalk. She didn't feel like taking the bus today, full of more unfortunately boring conversation. She loved her friends, but they were often airheaded. With a soft sigh and a 15 to 30min walk ahead of her Kaylyn tucked her fists into her pockets and began to contemplate just how she was going to convince her mom to take her to get her nails done.

After popping some toaster strudels into the toaster, Ehren settled into the chair next to his backpack and pulled out his excruciatingly large law book. He pulled out the study sheet to see what he would need for the next test, and shook his head. He flipped open to the correct page, wondering if his toaster strudels were done yet, stalling as much as he could. He read a sentence. Glanced at the toaster. Turned to the clock. Read a sentence. Glanced at the toaster. turned to the clock. Finally the toaster popped up his strudels.
Ehren bounced out of the chair to retrieve them with far more enthusiasm than was necessary for a twenty-four-year-old alone in a house. He delicately spread the creamy icing over his warm strudels, and savored every bite before daring to look back at the clock. Five minutes. Five minutes had passed since he had first put them into the toaster. Ehren let out a groan.
♫Help me out, yeah You know you gotta help me out, yeah Oh, don't you put me on the back burner You know you gotta help me out, yeah Over and in, last call for sin While everyone's lost, the battle is won With all these things that I've done All these things that I've done.♬

Benedict heard Ehren making a ruckus inside the kitchen. Well, he assumed it was Ehren since he was always the first one to come home. And here I thought I'd still have more time for myself. Benedict clicked his tongue in annoyance, he knew that the longer he stayed there, the more likely he will get caught so he reluctantly stopped his search. He was busy rummaging through all the shelves inside their parents bedroom hunting for the secret stash. They had become suspicious of the constant disappearance of the money so they had kept changing the hiding place on a weekly basis. Benedict knew that they knew it was one of them but they had never confronted him nor his siblings so he didn't say anything about it. Only his second eldest sibling knew that he was the culprit but he knew that his secret is safe because they shared a really close bond. After several minutes, Benedict stealthily walk towards the exit, careful not to make much noise. He didn't want to make his presence known to his older brother in this fashion. Ehren was naive and had assumed he was in school the whole day when in fact he had been hiding in this room the half of the day. It was a sort of ritual for him. Every Monday morning was 'rummaging-through-parents-room' day since 3 months ago because their gym teacher had been away for those months and had yet to be replaced. He knew this charade wouldn't last long but he plans to make the most of it. Benedict carefully closed the door behind him and walk speedily towards the front door. He had to pass the kitchen on his way but luckily Ehren seemed to be preoccupied with savoring his food. Benedict then proceeded to open the front door and immediately slammed it back shut."I'm home!"Benedict noisily announced.

Ehren heard the front door slam shut and he brother announce his return. He shoved the last bit of strudel into his mouth and gave Benedict a small wave. "Hey bro." He said before he finished chewing. Swallowing the bite, he then added, "How was school?" He and Benedict weren't the closest siblings, but he still felt the need to give him the courtesy family should give family.

Ehren asked him about class and he gave a silent chuckle. Yep, as naive as ever. "It was as boring as ever. You know how school is?"Benedict replied nonchalantly. He walked over to the kitchen at a much relzxed pace then when earlier. When he saw the crumbs decorating his brother's mouth, he raised his eyebrows at him."Looks like you started without me. No leftover for your favorite brother?"he asked jokingly. He didn't expect his brother to reply so he went ahead and look through the fridge for any leftovers. All that rummaging earlier had left him hungry and famished. He saw the left over orange juice so he made a grab for it as if inviting him to drink it."Well hello you delicious thing. Don't mind if I do,"he chiriped merrily.

Ehren pointed to the freezer as Benedict shuffled through the fridge. "There's more in there. You know I would never leave a cooked strudel uneaten!" He added as if horrified at the thought. They were his favorite snack! He sat back down at the table in front of his law book and glared at it again. He was dreading the reading he had to do and was trying to stall by any means necessary. "Is that juice still any good?" He asked lamely, though he knew it had just been purchased yesterday... He just tried to keep talking rather than reading.

The refreshing juice tasted like heaven in his mouth. Nothing like juice to start the rest of my miserable days. Let the criticism begins. Benedict knew that once their parents come back from work or picking up their other siblings he would have to deal with their constant complains. They were never satisfied with anything less than perfection. He score average grades just to piss them off despite knowing he could as well have easily aced all his subjects. He would probably have been replaced into a special class too if he hadn't caught up earlier on that nerds are the bottom feeders of every institution, be it kindergarden, grade school or high school. Those bunch of idiots don't have anything better to do than boost up their egos. Benedict had a way with his words so he knew how to play every single one of the people in his life with a little bit of compliments here and there. He also found out that listening helps too. His charms work for everyone, well almost. Their parents could see through his manipulation and so does his best friend, their second child. Benedict reverted his attention back to his big brother."Yes, I know you love them but I'd like to think you love me more."he teased while chuckling. "Well whatever, no hard feelings. I'm not feeling like strudel right now." He examined the fridge some more for anything edible but nothing caught his attention so he closed it and headed for the freezer instead. He immidiately spotted the pizza and he made a quick grab for it. "Guess what I'm having for lunch!" He knew he'd have hell to pay if their parents arrived at that exact moment. They were planning on having pizza night for dinner but he didn't care. They can just buy another pizza. He turned back his attention to Ehren when he heard his question. "Wow! That question took you 10 minutes to form," he feigned surprised while looking at his imaginary watch on his wrist. He winked at his brother to indicate that he was only playing around him. He loves teasing his oldest brother because he was the least temperamental person in the family. "Okay! I know that you know that mum bought this juice yesterday so...spill it. What's up?" he asked. As soon as he did, he finally took note of the books spewed all over the table top. A smile slowly creep its way up his face. "Ah, law, thou art heartless dog," he commented theatrically, quoting his favorite fictional character, Sheldon Cooper. His faced turned serious then he spoke in a much more neutral tone. "You know you have to tell them right? You can't go on pretending you like what you do when you don't." His big brother had never shared that particular issue with him but after countless of trials and errors, Benedict had learned to read another person like a book. He likes to think of himself as an American Sherlock Holmes. However, even this secret took him a while to figure out because despite being naive, Ehren was really good at hiding his secrets.

Ehren sighed. "You know I can't do that... You know how mom and dad are..." He said, the hatred for the entire subject quite clear in his voice. On the inside, Ehren wanted nothing more than to take every one of his books, throw them into the fire, and watch his parents faces as their hopes for him burned. But he wasn't that kind of a person. He knew how much pride they took in their first child studying in university to be a lawyer. He also knew that if they found out he had no desire to learn law, they would probably kick him out of the house for being "ungrateful" and "worthless". The second you went against dear mum and dad's wishes, you became the black sheep of the family... "Hey, wanna let me have a slice after you cook that thing?" He added, joining in Benedict's small battle. It wasn't much, but it might make him feel a little more rebellious for once.
♫Help me out, yeah You know you gotta help me out, yeah Oh, don't you put me on the back burner You know you gotta help me out, yeah Over and in, last call for sin While everyone's lost, the battle is won With all these things that I've done All these things that I've done.♬
Kaylyn made it home with time to spare, and her new game plan was to see if getting her homework done promptly and correctly before either of her parents came home. She was looking forward to showing her nails off at school, and her stress to get it done was already eating at her. She hated making promises that may not be delivered, but she'd do all she could in the meantime.
The little scene styled girl stamped up the porch steps and burst through the front door, bumping her backpack on everything imaginable in her rush. While she went about taking her shoes off she noticed her brothers in the kitchen.
"Hey Is mom home yet??" She asked quickly kicking her shoes over next to the door and rushing into the kitchen. She plopped her backpack down on the kitchen table and began rummaging through it in search of her homework.

Ehren jumped as the door slammed open and shut again in the other room and their sister came rushing in to immediately do her homework. "No, not yet. Why?" He asked, reaching over to where she sat to ruffle her hair. "What's got you all worked up, sis?" Kaylyn was Ehren's favorite sibling. He felt a little bit relieved that she had rescued him from his conversation with Benedict about telling their parents his stance on the whole lawyer thing.
