Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 280

“From what I remember, I was the oldest, too,” Melvin countered, unwilling to back down. “How about I be the big brother?”

Number two? Number three? Neither sounded very appealing.

“Why don’t we ask Juniper who she wants as her big brother?” Jimmie’s fondness for this newly found brother was rapidly plummeting to zero. Didn’t he understand the concept of first come, first served?

“Fine, let’s ask our little sister,” Melvin agreed with a nod.

In the next second, four eyes were fixed on the girl sitting in the chair, her chin propped on her delicate hand as she watched them with an air of casual amusement.

Jimmie: “Juniper, who do you want to be the big brother?”

Melvin: “Speak from the heart. I won’t hold it against you.”

Jimmie shot Melvin a look. Did this guy have no shame? Suddenly, he felt that Shanley hadn't hit him hard enough.

“Hmm?” Juniper shifted in her seat, slowly unwrapping a piece of candy and popping it into her mouth. “You want me to choose?”

“You choose!” the two brothers said in unison, their eyes filled with anticipation. Whoever she chose would be the brother she liked best.

“How about this…” Juniper blinked slowly. “You two play rock-paper-scissors. The winner gets to be the second oldest, and the loser will be the third oldest.”

There was another brother out there, wasn’t there? He could be the oldest. Since they both disliked being second or third, this way they could both be unhappy, which would create harmony, right? She was a genius.
