✂ ✂ RAELYN SPARKS ─ THE MIDDLE CHILD

It hadn’t taken Raelyn very long to clean up the mess in her bedroom – or at least the mess Hope had made, the rest of her room was a completely different story and would continue to go untouched until her parents threatened to take her cell away until they could see the floor. In all honesty, what she had done still hadn’t been done very well. She had soaked up the filthy water – if it could even be called water anymore – with her slightly younger sister’s pillow, grumbling under her breath all the while and contemplating how best she could get revenge. Unlike the redhead had in their younger years, she wouldn’t go running off to her parents and demand something be done – specifically, that Hope be “returned to the whore-house she had come from”. No, she and Hope now had a... mutual understanding when it came to these things. They had far too much dirt on each other to risk “dobbing” and besides, getting her own back was a lot more fun, anyway.
After fixing her towel back around her body and stowing her ruined shirt in the “laundry hamper” – which really consisted of a corner in her room that was overflowing with clothes that needed to be washed – Raelyn darted out of her bedroom and back into Hope’s, shoving her now-soiled pillow under the covers of her bed. Her green eyes danced around her sister’s room, and finally landed on a stack of textbooks on her desk. Without a second thought, she was placing her hands down on the top of the pile and pulling them towards her and off the desk, letting them spill onto the floor. It wasn’t much in the way of revenge, but it would do for now.
Next, she went in search of her frogs. She wasn’t entirely sure why she had them to begin with – or why her parents had even let her have them – but she couldn’t let them hop around the house and possibly die under the sofa. Unfortunately, finding them meant one of two things – throwing her things around her bedroom and making an even bigger mess, or actually putting things away as she went. It was only upon realising that Jackson was supposed to be coming over that afternoon that she decided on the later. So, closing her bedroom door behind her, she dropped the towel that had remained secured around her waist thus far, and got to work.
It took a great deal longer than anticipated, though that could have been put down to a very interesting discovery that she had made whilst searching under her bed: a pair of Jackson’s underwear. And that, of course, had prompted Raelyn to send a very flirty, borderline pornographic text to her said boyfriend, right after she had considered just how lucky she was that she had been the one to find it, instead of her mother when she came looking for clothes for the washing machine. ‘That would not have ended well,’ she smirked to herself, imagining the words Jean would have to say to Jonnie about her son after that one. They were already on their last warning, after having been caught in quite the compromising position in the mansion pool the month before, whilst surrounded by the younger students who had chosen then to start up an impromptu game of water polo, regardless of, and oblivious to, the teenagers who had been sucking face – among other things – on the pool steps. Upon remembering her father’s face at that particular incident, the redhead was unable to wipe the smile of her face, especially not after one of her frogs had jumped out from beneath the crotch of a pair of her own panties.
“You’re not the only one who jumps out of those things,” she smirked, catching Buster in her hands and stumbling to her feet to dump him back in his enclosure.
After that, it hadn’t taken Raelyn long to find Pickles, Buster’s mate. Though, all the “hadn’t taken longs” were starting to add up, and as she refilled their tank from the upstairs bathroom, the redhead could feel her anger towards her sister building up again. She couldn’t stay for breakfast, that was for sue, especially not with Megan downstairs. It wasn’t that she disliked their verbal warfare, but she wasn’t particularly interested in seeing her cousin making faces at Hope, or in seeing Kailey smiling at the both of them like they were the cutest couple in the world – incest and all. Romeo could have her breakfast for all she cared, it wasn’t like Jean or Kristen were home to stop her from skipping their Sunday Family Tradition. And, speaking of, she was very interested in finding out just where their parents had gotten to, and there was no better place to find out if they were on a mission than at the Base of Operations itself.
With her mind made up, Raelyn resumed her shower, taking her sweet time to wash her hair and shave her legs and do all the other necessary things. Seeing as most of her clothes were dirty and, thus, finally in the washing machine, it was Hope’s wardrobe she found herself scrounging through in search for something to wear. What she eventually produced consisted of a pair of tiny, denim cutoff shorts and one of her own singlet tops. Completing the outfit with a pair of boots and snagging her sunglasses from her desk she hopped back down the stairs, grabbed Kailey’s car keys from the hook by the front door, and had one leg outside before she dared call back to her sisters. “Going to Jackson’s!” she declared, slamming the front door behind her before Romeo could follow her out, or Kailey could realise she was planning on taking her car.
As embarrassing as it was to be seen in her older sister’s bright pink Mitsubishi Eclipse, Raelyn was soon pulling into the driveway of Xavier’s School for Gifted Youngsters – located conveniently, not a five minute drive from the Sparks’ residence – and making a beeline for the kitchen. One strip of bacon was not going to do her for breakfast, and Uncle Elijah’s bacon was usually just as good as Kailey’s.
