Hey guys! I just wanted to let you know that I'm changing Isabella's age. I know she's normally 14 but I feel like she's more a 15 years old. I hope you understand! <3

On to the story!

Isabella

I tried to ignore Greyson and talked to Katie.

"So who's our next victim?" I asked with a smirk.

"I don't know, maybe a teacher?" Katie shrugged.

"I feel like we still need to make a name out here, I will stuck with crappy students and then teachers."

"Sounds genius, let's do it. Maybe a girl this time?"

"Wait, you said stuck with crappy students... You just pranked me!" Rodrigo yelled.

"That's the whole point..." I said in a duh tone. Cole spat out his drink and started to laugh and Rio couldn't stop chuckling. Greyson smiled and shook his head, his eyes fixed on the floor and Rodrigo smacked his head.

"Dude, what was that for?" Holy holy waters.

That was the first time I heard his voice and I felt butterflies in my stomage. Okay snap out of it Bella he's three years older for god's sake!

"You're suppose to have my back, not my sister's!" He whined and I held back a giggle coming out of my mouth.

"Come on Rod, it was pretty funny..." He chuckled. Damn

"I feel replaced." He rolled his eyes.

"That's because you are." I smiled innocently at him and he rolled his eyes again, but this time with a smile.

"Let's get some food." I said to Katie and she immediately nodded, excited at the word 'food'.

Now that's my type of people.

Katie picked a tortilla, an apple, some vegetables and a bottle of water. I picked three wraps, a piece of melon and a bottle of water. We walked back to our places and we were talking about our next prank.

"You're going to eat all of that?" Cole asked surprised.

"Yeah." I said.

"Of course." Katie said in disbelieve.

"How much can y'all eat-" Cole was interrupted by a bunch of girls coming to our table.

"Oh no, it's Lisa and her squat." Rio whined and I raised my eyebrows.

Lisa... Where have I heard this name before?

"Hey Rodrigo." An irritating voice made everyone sigh and roll their eyes.

"What Linda?" Rodrigo said annoyed. I looked at the girl standing in the middle of the group of girls and that's when I recognized her. That chick who slapped Rodrigo at the mall...

I burtsed out laughing and her attention was now on me.

"You!" She said angry and walked to me.

"Me indeed. What are you doing here? If you wanted a round two you could just asked." I shrugged and I swear I saw steam coming out of her ears.

"Uhm, are we missing something?" Rio asked.

"Isabella punched Lisa at the mall, it was awesome!" Riccardo said like a little teenage girl.

"No way!" Rio said like a four year old getting candy.

"Marry me." Cole said shocked and I had to stop myself from laughing. My brothers both send glares to Cole and he was getting really nervous. Kinda funny.

"She's trying to destroy our relationship." Lisa said wrapping her arms around Rodrigo. "I don't like her baby." She pouted, thinking, and I repeat thinking it was cute

"What a shame, my middlefinger seems to like you a lot." I pouted and everyone started laughing.

"Ugh get a life, loser" She rolled her eyes.

"Like yours? Nah, I'll pass." I smiled sweetly at her and everyone started to laugh louder.

"Now unless you want a second date with the hospital, I kindly suggest you take a step away from my brother." I said, venom clear in my voice and I could see Katie and Cole gulp.

"Rodrigo said it himself. You're just a stranger to him. You're not his family." Okay that hurt.

"His blood is the same blood that is floathing in my veins. I'm not gonna repeat myself Barbie, step away from him." My patience was running low and she knew it. She tried to cover her scared face with confidence but failed miserably.

"Whatever, this isn't over loser. I'll come for you." She threatened while walking backwards.

"Oh, I'm counting on it Barbie." I waved at her kindly waht made her scoff and walk away with her bitches following her. Typical High School Musical vibes.

"Thanks Isa." Rodrigo walked forward to give me a hug but I stepped aside.

"Only family can hug me Rodrigo, you know that." I said neutral and a flash of hurt went through his eyes.

"But like you said, we're family." He tried to reason.

"Yeah, like I said. We share the same blood. But blood doesn't make you family Rodrigo." I turned around and grabbed my backpack. Katie nodded at me, signing she was going with me and we walked to buy some lunch. After that we walked out of the cafetaria, with Rio, Cole; Rigo, Cardo and Greyson watching our every move. Rodrigo and Riccardo looked like they were about to cry while Rio, Cole and Greyson looked confused.

I didn't even gave them a second glance and just walked out of the room.

"Okay, that was awesome. Show them that it's going to take a while to get your trust back! You go girl!" She hyped me up what made me smile.

"Thanks Katie, I appreciate that." I gave her a genuily smile and she returned it.

"I kinda have an idea for our next target." She said after a while. I turned my head to her.

"Spit it, who?" I asked curious.

"No one less than Barbie Lisa." She said while smiling evilly. I smiled with her and soon we were planning the prank. This is going to be amazing....

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Katie and I were chatting as we entered our last class, physics.

"So yeah, that's when I pushed his head in his birthday cake." She shrugged.

"Just because he said you looked weird?" I raised my eyebrows in amusement

"Hey! I was really proud on my outift that day!" She shrugged and we bith started laughing.

"By the way, this is Mrs. Makey. She's the worst and hates your brothers like no other." She whispered.

"Fabulous, just peachy." I grumbled and she chuckled at my grumpy response. We took seats in the back as the students started to fill in the other seats.

"Silence!" A loud voice stopped our conversation. God I hate her already.

"I hope y'all had an amazing summer vacation, because school has started again and there's no more free time from now on." She smiled at us. What is wrong with this woman?

"Quick round with your names and then we start." This is going to be interesting.

She quickly went throught the names and when her eyes fell on me, I knew she recongnized me from Emilio. What? Excpet teh age, we kinda look like twins.

"Isabella, Isabella Castillo." I said with pride and her face fell in more disgust.

"Another Castillo, you're parents must be doing it like rabbits." She said in disgust what made the whole class laugh. Oh she did not.

"At least they're still getting some." I sassed back and her face was about to explode. The class started to laugh louder and she shut them up.

"I want you to give me next lesson a measure device that goes from 0 to 150 in a second." What the hell?

"If you don't, I'm going to give you detention for the whole year." Okay this lady has some serious trouble. I gave her my famous glare and she quickly turned around in fear and started her class. That's what I thought.

Class went by slowly but here I was, saying goodbye to Katie and walking towards the football field. I hope I don't regret this later.

I walked towards the little seat and placed my homework on the little table in front of me. I looked at the field and I saw both my brothers training against each other and the coach yelling. I knew our team was good, Katie said so. But I don't know who's our quarterback. Riccardo or Rodrigo? I'll ask them later.

When I finished English and Biology, I took the chocolate bar I took this morning and started eating it. I still had twenty minutes to go and then I could go home. I decided to watch them play. Who knows, maybe these idiots are good at something...

They devided themselves in two different teams and played against each other again. I must say, I don't know shit about football but I saw they were good. They worked fast and they looked like they knew what they were doing. After a good twenty minutes watching them play, coach called it a day.

My brothers were walking towards to showers and I just stayed here, waiting for them. Out of no where, Victoria ran up to me.

"Hey girl!" She said out of breath.

"Hey Vic, you look out of breath." I chuckled.

"Sorry, I couldn't find you anywhere. Coach wants to talk to you."

"Erm- I actually need my brothers to inform where I am or they will go bananas." I rolled my eyes and she laughed.

"Alright, let's wait for them and then we can go."

"You know what, I'm going to inform their coach, give me a minute." I ran towards to coach who was writing some stuff down.

"Hey coach Lin, could you tell my brothers that I'm just going to speak with my coach? She wants to see me." I smiled kindly at him.

"Sure kiddo, who's your brother?" He looked up and his face showed he recognized me from somewhere, but couldn't place it.

"Riccardo and Rodrigo Castillo."

"Well, have you ever-. I didn't know they had a sister. I'll make sure they know it, I know how protective they can get about food, let stand their little sister." He chuckled and I laughed along.

"Thank you coach Lin." I waved at him and ran to my coach with Victoria.

She was talking to another teacher but when she saw us running, she walked towards us.

"Hey there girls. Isabella, I have a question for you."

"Sure, ask away."

"So Victoria here is our captain but she's quitting with being captain so I asked her who would follow her footsteps and she immediately said you. Of course, we still gotta ask the team and of course only if you're up for it."

"No way! I would love that! But why are you quitting?" I asked Victoria.

"Last year was my first year as captian and I didn't like it, it wasn't something for me. I hoped that through the year someone would like to be captain but no one wanted that responsibility." She shrugged.

"I know you're going to be amazing and the team is going to love you." I smiled at her and shook hands with coach.

"Training's tomorrow right after last period lil Castillo." She yelled as I was walking back to my brothers. I saw them on the field chatting with Cole, Rio and Greyson. They were all showered and laughing around. Rio and Riccardo spotted me and turned to me.

"Hey there trouble." Rio laughed.

"Why the nickname?" I asked amused.

"You look like trouble." He shrugged.

"Well you ain't wrong there buddy." I shrugged what made them chuckle.

"How was the conversation with coach?" Riccardo asked.

"Guess who's the new captain?" I wiggled my eyebrows and Rodrigo just spitted out the water he was drinking.

"No way! Congrats Bella!" Riccardo went for the hug but I gave him a glare and he took a few steps back.

"Woah do I feel tension between the Castillo's?" Cole joked.

"Well they did let me walk all the way back home." I gave them a glare and they smiled nervously.

"They really did that? That was actually our fault, you see- erm, uh- well- uh." I was staring at him what made him stutter.

"Cole, are you scared of a fifteen year old?" Greyson laughed. "You're on the girl football team?" Greyson asked me.

"Soccer." I replied. "By the way, you guys played really good. I'm excited for the game of friday."

"Thanks sis." Rodrigo gave me a small smile.

"Who's captain?" I asked to no one.

"Me, Rodrigo is the captain when I'm not around, but I'm always around so." Greyson laughed.

Greyson is captain?

Okay that just made him even hotter- NO

"Cool, you played really well." I managed to give him a small smile and he returned it.

"When is your training Isa?" Rodrigo asked.

"Tomorrow, I train every day you guys don't." I looked at my phone and my eyes went wide.

"Shit, big man called."

I dailed Lorenzo's number in and took a deep breath. I could see Rodrigo and Riccardo having slight scared expression while the others more amusing.

"Isabella Castillo." He spoke slowly. This is not good.

"Lorenzo Castillo, my favourite brother. Why do I own this pleasure of hearing your voice over the phone?" I'm in so much trouble.

"How was your day?" I could hear the amusement in his voice.

Hold on, what just happened?

"Wait, I'm not in trouble?" I asked in disbelieve. I could see everyone holding back their laughter, even the twins.

"No you're not. How have the twins been treating you?"

"They're laughing at me right now." I smiled evilly at them and they visually gulped and Cole, Rio and Greyson started to cry of laughter.

"Give the phone to them, baby." He said in a sweet voice. Where's my popcorn?

I gave the phone to them and Rodrigo took it and Riccardo listened along. Everyone was holding their breaths and when their faces showed fear I started to laugh what made everyone follow. The nodded and gave me back the phone.

"All sorted out cariño. Now come straight home, your pretty little face is being missed." I chuckled.

"Fine, only if you're getting me ice cream. You owe me big time, remember?" I could hear him laugh on the other side.

"Sure, just hurry up. I miss you." And with that he ended the call and I said goodbye to everyone while walking to the car.

We did some small talk in the car, nothing too deep and before we know it, we arrived home. After thousands of security check ups, I ran inside, right into the arms of Emilio.

"LIOOO!!!" I screamed.

"BELLLAAA! God I missed you. What little dipshit invented school to last so long." he rolled his eyes and I let out a small chuckle.

"That's what I ask myself ever day, brother." Everyone chuckled at my comment and after Lio, I hugged Matteo.

"Mhhh, Momma bear hugs." I whispered what made him chuckle even more.

"Tell me everything about today when you come back." I stared in confusing, but as soon as Lorenzo walked in the room I knew what he ment.

Lorenzo had his coat on and signed me to follow him and I ran behind him.

Heaven here I come.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I was humming to a song that was playing on the radio and Lorenzo was smiling at me. Suddenly 'Never Enough' from One Direction was on the radio and I went all on.

"I DON'T NEED MY LOVE"

"YOU CAN TAKE IT, YOU CAN TAKE IT, TAKE IT"

"I DON'T NEED MY HEART"

"YOU CAN BREAK IT, YOU CAN BREAK IT, BREAK IT"

"I JUST CAN'T GET TOO MUCH OF YOU BABY"

"IT'S NEVER NEVER ENOUGH"

"NEVER ENOUGH"

Lorenzo was now full on laughing modus and I laughed with him. These are the moments I adored.

I was looking at the road, when I spotted two black cars following us. What the heck?

A few minutes later they were still following us. Okay this is getting creepy.

"Uhm Enzo?" I asked with panic in my voice.

"What's wrong Bella?" He asked concerned.

"I- I think we're getting followed." I managed to get out.

"These two black cars? Those are our body guards." He chuckled.

"Why do we need them?" I turned my head to him

"My business is really succesful, what makes me have a lot of enemies."

"But they would never do- things like that- right?" I carefully asked.

"You can never be too sure, cariño." He gave me a reasurring smile and I looked again at the cars in worry.

"Hey, hey, don't worry. I'll always protect you and I promise nothing is going to happen. I just want to be rather safe then sorry." That made a part of my worries dissapear, but I still looked at the cars from time to time.

"I know you're lying." I simply siad after a few minutes of silence what made him look at my in confusion.

"What? I'm not lying cariño." He said confused

"Your business, the third floor, the guards, the medical, people bowing their heads, it doesn't add up Enzo." He looked back at the road with no emotion. Bingo.

"Isabella, I'm not-"

"Yeah yeah, 'you're not lying'. Well you're not fooling me either. I know, I shouldn't have interrupted you but I wasn't done yet. I know something's up and I know how shitty it is if someone push a secret out of you." His look changed from annoyed to guilty.

"I know you're going to tell me when I'm older or when you think is the right time, I'll respect that." I gave him a real smile and he seemed shocked.

"Come on, close that mouth of yours Lorenzo. You know I'm more mature than a normal fifteen year old." I winked but he looked rather sad.

"You shouldn't be."

"What do you mean?"

"You should be worrying about fashion, girl drama, what movie to pick. Not money, paying bills, food, getting beaten..."

I looked out of the window. Pain flashed through my eyes.

"That's past time Lorenzo." I said coldly, still looking out of the window.

"Bella-"

"Drop it Lorenzo."

"Isabella Gabriella Castillo, talk to me." He said from stern to sweet and I swear I felt my heart melt.

"It's just." I sighed. "I hate being remembered that I had an afwul childhood, there's no denying it. I just wished you would have found me sooner. Even if it was only a year, it could have made things so much easier. And the Court thing? It scares me more than death, Lorenzo. What if they managed to blame it on me? What if-"

"Stop. Listen to me Isabella. I know you haven't had the best childhood, I think I don't even know half the things you went through, but that's okay, because it's over now. You're safe and all of your brothers are going to make sure you're about to have the time of your life. You're never going to be alone again and you should get used to it.

I know it's scary but I promise you that I'm going to do everything I possibly can to make sure he and she get what they deserve. And in a few weeks, you're going to walk for the last time out of that building, with all your brothers besides you and you're going to leave everything behind and they will get what they deserve. I promise you cariño." He gave me a smile and hugged me.

Hold on, he hugged me and he's driving?

"LORENZO YOU FOOL WHY WOULD YOU HUG ME AND DRIVE AT THE SAME TIME!" I screamed out. Lorenzo started to chuckle and that's when I found out, we've already arrived at the icecream shop...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"What can I get you?" An old lady asked us.

"For my a black coffee and for her an icecream with four flavors, chocolate, vanilla, peanut butter and oreo."

"Add whipped cream, strawberries, a bit of sugar and some chocolate sauce to his coffee." Lorenzo was about to say somthing but I took the money from his hands, gave it the the lady and pushed a shocked Lorenzo to a table in the corner.

It was raining outised and I followed the water drops roll down the window. Well I didn't just looked, I picked one and started talking to it.

"Come on, win the race, no don't go to left, go right! Yes! keep going!" I whispered. Come on, we all did this at least once.

"What on earth did you do to my coffee?" Lorenzo asked when he came back from wherever he was.

"Trust me on this one brother." I winked at him and he shook his head in amusement. A few minutes and races later, the old lady came with my icecream and Lorenzo's coffee.

"Okay, give me your coffee." I said to him.

He looked suspicious at me but gave his glass anyway. I took his spoon and started to mix his coffee, sugar chocolate and whipped cream. Then I put the starwberries on top and shove his glass back.

I nodded at him, telling him he should try it and he took a sip. His eyes grew wider as he took another sip. And another and another and I knew my job was done.

I started eating my ice cream and we talked about little things in life. It was so relaxing that I felt myself started to get tired. I closed my eyes, promising myself it's only for a few seconds and I felt myself falling deeper and deeper.

Lorenzo's arms picked me up and dragged me back to the car.

"Don't tell your brothers about that amazing drink." He said to me and I gave him a tired smile.

"I won't." Was the last thing I said to him and I felt asleep.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Some hours later, Matteo woke me up for dinner and after dinner we watched a movie. Guess what, I fell asleep again.

The next day went pretty fast. I wore a hoodie to school with 'nope, not today' on it (media) and some ripped black pants. I ate breakfast with Emilio and we talked about his business. He talked about it with such a passion I could listen to him for hours but I had to go to school so I hugged him goodbye and jumped in my brother's car.

The morning went the same as the ones before. Me getting out with the twins, everyone stares, I walk to Katie and we walk to our lockers and then to our classes.

I told her coach asked me to be captain and she was so excited that she started dancing in the middle of the hall and students looked at us weirdly. I gave them a glare and they immediately minded their own business.

Lunch went pretty much the same like yesterday but without the prank on Rodrigo of course. His friends are pretty cool and we talked to whole lunch break. Greyson looked amazing today and he had this sexy- NO.

Greyson looked meh today, yes.

The afternoon went pretty fast and when the bell rang that last period was done, I hurried to the soccer field. Katie and I said goodbye and I went to change. When I came out, the whole team was on the field watching me and coach smiling to me. I smiled back but when I looked behind her, I saw my brothers and their friends at the bench.

More importantly,

I saw Greyson staring at me.

I'm not even sorry :)

So, how was the chapter? I kinda didn't like this one but I'm looking forward to the next one ;)

Thank you so much for 30k! I never thiught I would get this far this fast and I wouldn't have done it without all of you guys!
