"minx, I mean this in the kindest way possible, you can't put your player wherever you want. this is monopoly." niki huffed, trying to sound as light-hearted as possible.

"i'll put it wherever I want it! no man can control me, this game is so sexist!" minx shot back, making herself land on the property she needed.

"okay, I think that's enough monopoly for today," clay says, starting to pack up the board game with the help of me, tommy, minx, karl, and mark.

the rest were asleep, so we played monopoly and definitely didn't get any noise complaints, wink wink.

tommy and me sat on the wide recliner chair, mark on a singular cushioned seat, clay on the same modelled chair as mark near us, and than niki, minx, and karl on the large, sorta L shaped couch.

"what time is it?" mark says, staring at me.

"uhh, it's half past midnight," I respond.

"how is it already twelve-thirty? didn't we start playing at 10?" karl asks, starting to get confused.

"dunno. time flies by when a chair flies into clay. tsk." I say, chuckling at my own joke.

"that wasn't funny! my stomach still hurts." he complained, earning laughs from the whole group.

"I don't regret it at all, that reaction was priceless," minx says, getting everyone to wheeze even harder than they were beforehand.

"okay enough. can we talk about clay and george real quick??" I say, reminiscing a couple hours ago.

"guys I literally have a girlfriend." he wheezed, leaving us shocked.

"NAME, AGE, LOOKS, WHEN, AND HOW?" I questioned, when did this happen?

"elena, pronounced uh-lay-nah, twenty turning twenty-one in a couple weeks, tan skin, amber eyes, dyed-black hair. three months ago, I asked her out." he answered, taking me out of my trance.

"when are we meeting her?" I ask.

"i've been trying to convince her to come to brighton, she would've come with me but she had work. she's off now, so i'm literally begging her to come." I sighed, wanting to meet her. her description made her sound like a goddess.

"need to make sure you haven't picked up a wrongen big man." tommy says.

"I don't think this minecraft block is that stupid." minx says, making everyone burst into laughter, once again.

"anyways, clay. her number if you would." I say, niki and minx agreeing.

"let me ask hold up," he says, picking up his phone.

clay clicked on the contact 'shiney<3' and clicked call. he walked out the room, and into the hallway where no one could hear him.

"awww guys her name on his phone is shiney!" I say, completely awestruck, while everyone was just confused.

"guys her name means 'shining light' in spanish. am I the only spanish speaker here?" I chuckle, making everyone else just as awestruck as I was.

"no I know spanish! alex taught me!" karl exclaims.

"karl, creo que tommy es tonto." I say, making mark laugh hard.

"what? you said my name? what did you say?" tom sighs, clearly confused.

"don't worry about it." I again chuckle, hearing clay come back into the room.

"diviértete con elena? ella viene?" I say, assuming clay would understand. he did.
