Hi my name is Amy and I have a boyfriend called Tom. I have a brother called Josh. I  think he is jealous of Tom and I, because once Tom and I were kissing in our backyard, and then out of nowhere, Josh appeared and yelled, “STOP KISSING MY SISTER!” It freaked Tom out and he never came back to our house. But don’t worry, because I got my brother back when we were at the pool… I saw him about to kiss this girl and I wasn't letting that happened after what happened in our backyard, So I yelled, “ STOP KISSING MY BROTHER!!” Then he started yelling at me and chasing me around the pool.
