It Isn't That Easy

Tristan was in his bedroom on his bed, the dark blue sheets threwn all around the bed, topped off with some clothes. Tristan never bothered to clean it, but he knew that he would have to clean it sooner or later.

He was sat down on his bed, his legs criss-crossed between each other, he had on a headset that was holding onto his head and was speaking into the microphone. The headset was connected to the computer that he had on his bed. He seemed like he was on a call with a friend from school.

It was a group call that consisted of Tristan, Scott, and another friend from Special Ed Class named Milo. They were all playing a videogame together, Milo constantly complaining that the both of them were cheating.

Tristan's POV

The game had been going on for about 30 minutes, I was in the lead, Scott was second, and Milo was last, of course. Apparently he thinks that both of us are cheating, but I just think he's bad at the game.
Seriously, he keeps thinking that he'll get power-ups from jumping down a hole!

Milo(on the call):"Okay! I am CONVINCED that you both are cheating on this game!"
He sounded pretty upset from the fact that he kept losing.

Scott(on the call):"Well, if you stop JUMPING down the holes, you wouldn't be in last place right now!"

Tristan(on the call):"I'll have to side with Scott on this one, sorry Milo..."

Milo(on the call):"Hmph! You always side with him because he's your best friend!"

Scott(on the call):"That's a complete lie, he doesn't side with me about three-quarter of the time!"

Tristan(on the call):"Because you say things that don't make sense, I thought you were supposed to be the smartest out of all of us?"

Scott(on the call):"Tristan! Do NOT even start! You get A's in your report card for a living!"

Milo(on the call):"That's what he gets for being the son of some big-shot business people!"

Tristan(on the call):"Oh shut it Milo-"

"Can you SHUT up!?"

I look up from the computer and my face turned a bit scrawny when I saw the person by the door, the rest of the call also turned silent at the voice that was heard from the door.

The person that was at the door was my twin brother Ethan Lamber, he had on a burgundy polo shirt with some kind of band-necklace around his neck. He had on some baby blue jeans that were a bit short. His bright, blond hair was combed back like always, and he often had that grouchy look in his caramel brown eyes.

He was leaning on the open door, looking at his phone for a few minutes, then turned back to me.

Milo(on the call):"Yo! Is everything okay?"

Tristan(on the call):"Y-Yeah! Yeah! I'll get back to you guys! I just have to talk with someone first...."

I muted myself so that the others wouldn't hear the argument that I was about to put myself in. I took in a deep breath, then began to talk to him.

Tristan:"Is there anything that you want, or need?"

Ethan:"What I NEED for you to do is for you and your friends to be QUIET! You all are like tweeting birds in the morning who NEVER shut up!"

Tristan:"Look, I don't know what you're getting so worked up for! I'm sorry alright!?"

Ethan:"Ugh, whatever...it's like you're trying to be pathetic when you know you're already am!"
