The Harper Family (Wattpad Version)

Beach party

Odin

Friday arrived. I wanted to work on the bathroom, but my idiot cousins had other plans.

"What are you doing?" Kyler asked me.

I stood on a ladder, wiring a vanity light fixture. "I'm hanging a light so people can see when they use the bathroom. Or do you plan to use the bathroom in the dark?"

"It's Friday night."

"I'm aware it's Friday. What's your point?"

Roman came to the bathroom doorway. "The bathroom is looking sweet as hell."

Kyler looked at Roman. "Numbnuts here is hanging a light instead of getting ready for a beach party."

"Why?"

"Oh, we need light when we use the bathroom." Kyler rolled his eyes.

"I can piss in the dark." Roman shrugged.

I secured the fixture to the wall. "There will be no pissing in the dark. I refuse to clean up dried piss." I placed the globes on the fixture and screwed in light bulbs. "Let there be light."

Jordin found us in the new bathroom. "Are we having a powwow about the new bathroom?"

Kyler rolled his eyes. "No, dumbshit. Odin is avoiding a beach party."

"Wait. Odin would rather work on a bathroom than meet hot chicks?"

Kyler nodded.

Jordin turned his attention to me. "Are you gay? If you are, it's okay."

I rolled my eyes. "No, I'm not gay."

"Are you sure?"

"Positive."

"I'm just saying we wouldn't have an issue if you were gay."

"For the last time, I'm not gay." My irritation was growing by the second.

Ryden joined the party while I leaned on the ladder. "Why is everyone gathered around the new bathroom?"

"Oh, Kyler is miffed because Odin chooses to work on a light fixture over a beach party. Jordin questioned Odin's sexuality because he was avoiding hot chicks. I'm here to watch it all unfold," Roman told Ryden.

Ryden looked at me. "Will you go to the damn party?"

"Why is this party so important to everyone?" I asked.

"You've become a monk, pining over some girl whose name you didn't get," Kyler said.

"You always get the girl's name," Jordin said.

"Is that before or after you hook up with them?" Roman asked Jordin.

"Either or." Jordin shrugged.

I shook my head, climbed off the ladder, and walked to the doorway. "Fine. I'll get ready. If this party is lame, I'm leaving."

Kyler put his hands up in defense.

I looked at Jordin. "Stop being a pig. No respectful woman wants a manwhore."

Jordin gave me an annoyed look.

I glanced at Roman and Ryden. "Will you make yourself useful and figure out your life?"
