MONSE FINNIE POV

I bolted into math class and saw an empty seat next to Latrelle. I quickly claimed it and elbowed him. "Soooo, how was it?!"

"How was what?"

"You know, the big move in!"

"Oh. It was fine I guess. I mean, the Bakers aren't the most functional family."

"But they're happy to have you, right?" I asked him, praying that he says yes. But if they don't want Latrelle, my couch is always available to him.

But he said, "Yup. Everyone except Olivia."

And it's as if he summoned her because Olivia entered the room with Coop, glaring at Latrelle the entire time. Latrelle disregarded her and waved at Coop.

I feel so awkward now. "Oh. Oh wow. That's a lot of tension."

"Man, do you know how awkward it is living in that house when everyone knows that I kissed her?!" Latrelle exclaimed.

Wait what? "Wait, you kissed her?"

"I thought I told you that?"

"No, you just told me that you liked her."

"Oh. Well yeah. Olivia and I kissed in the hot tub at the party."

"You mean right before I found you all dripping wet?" I recalled.

He nodded. "Yup. Told you I had fun."

Latrelle smirked playfully but I'm not amused right now. I didn't know that Olivia and him were in that deep.

All I could muster was a, "Wow. So bold."

Latrelle chuckled. "Yeah. We even told each other that we loved each other."

Yeahhhh, they were definitely in deep. I see why Olivia's so mad.

"And then you found out that she's your sister..." I summed up.

"Yup. And I pretty much regret all of that shit now and Olivia hates me for it. It's like she doesn't understand that we're related now." Latrelle shrugged. "But I told her to stay away from you, so."

I swatted him on the arm. "Latrelle, I told you not to do that!"

"Well I did. She doesn't need to be talking to you anyway."
