*after dinner*

We were all sitting in the living room, but it was just the parents talking. Me, Ethan, and Grayson all sat silently on one couch.

Mom: You three look bored. Why don't you go to Brookes room and hang out instead of listening to our adult conversations?

Brooke: I'm goo-

Eth: Sounds like fun!

Gray: Yeah let's go!

Dad: Remember to leave the door open!

Brooke: Don't worry dad we will!

We head upstairs into my room.

Eth: Nice room sweetheart

Brooke: Can you please stop calling me that?

Eth: Only if you give me a good reason.

Brooke: Because I don't like it.

Eth: Gray what do you think, is that a good enough reason?

Gray: Nope.

Eth: Hmm yeah i agree. Sorry, no can do sweetheart.

I let out a huff and sit on my bed. It was going to be a long night.

Eth: So, what do you do for fun in here?

Brooke: I mean, I like to read.

Eth: Oh, like Twitter and stuff?

Brooke: No like books. My favorite book is "Turtles All The Way Down", its about this girl who-

Gray: We didn't ask?

Brooke: Well what do you suggest we do?

Gray: Well I don't know about you, but I'm gonna text this girl who gave me her number today.

Eth: Wait, who?

Gray: Remember that Abby girl?

Eth: Oh her? Nice!

Brooke: You know she's slept with... like every guy in our grade right? Some guys from other grades too.

 Gray: Your point?

Brooke: Whatever.

We all just sit there on my bed. The twins were on their phones and i was re-reading "Turtles All The Way Down" for the billionth time. Time seemed to go by quickly.

Lisa: Seriously you three? You're not even acknowledging each other. We'll have to find a way to fix that. Anyway, boys it's time to go.

Grayson and Ethan get up and walk out the door, except Ethan stops in the doorway. Once Grayson and Lisa start to head downstairs he turns around.

Ethan: See you at school tomorrow, sweetheart.

He turns back around and walks out.
