Sweepstakes

August POV

"Here goes nothing," I whispered to myself as I clicked enter for the one millionth time. I was determined to have us win! Especially grand prize.

The grand prize winner and their 3 friends get to go on tour with 5 Seconds of Summer! I mean, who wouldn't want that? It's like the best thing ever.

And finally, I started on my homework. But I couldn't concentrate. I was just too busy thinking about that contest. Well, I finally did finish my homework, after and hour and a half.

"Dinner!!" Mom called from down the hallway. I glanced at the clock on the computer desk. 6 pm? Already? Wow, I guess I really couldn't concentrate. I stood up and walked to the kitchen which smelt strongly of partridge and rice. And broccoli and cheese. I grabbed a plate and began grabbing my dinner.

"I wanted that plate!" My little sister, April, called from down behind me.

"Deal with it." I replied. She started bawling.

"BUT I WANTED IT!" She screamed.

I handed my plate to my younger brother, Tyler, and he took it to the table along with his. I picked April up and carried her to the table and put her in her chair.

"Now stay here while I make your plate, and if you move, I will take Pinky Pie away.

That's right. She watches My Little Pony. Every Saturday.

"That's right." I said as I went to make her plate. In my opinion, she is very immature for a 6 year old.

I brought her back a plate. As mom walked into the room.

"Why is April's face red?" She asked.

"Someone was being immature." Tyler answered with his mouth full of rice.

"Chew first!" I said. "What are you, a pig?"

He nodded. I shook my head.

"Whatever," I said before I took a bite of my broccoli.

Dinner was silent. As always, no one really talked because Dad isn't home. He's on another business trip.

After dinner, I went up to my room. I locked the door so you know who can't break in. I grabbed some PJ's and unlocked my door.

I walked down the hallway to the kids bathroom. The door was shut, so I knocked.

"How long?" I asked.

"A few minutes." Tyler responded.

Great. I walked downstairs into the kitchen where Mom was doing the dishes.

"Can I shower in your room again?" I asked her.

"Sure." She said. "Oh! I forgot to ask! What did the rest of the girls say about the contest?"

"Oh, yeah! They all agreed and we entered. Fingers crossed!" I said.

"Sounds awesome!" My mom said before I exited the kitchen and walked to her and Dad's bathroom, where I happily spent a half hour in the shower.

I dried off and got dressed. As I was brushing my hair, the door swung open. There stood the ever so tiny April.

"What'cha doin'?" She asked.

"Brushing my hair, what are you doing?" I said with a tiny bit of sass.

"Seeing what you were doing!" She said before she skipped off.

Oh, how I need to win that contest.
