After a stop to get firewood Matt drives us back to Eriss' house for our first group sleepover we've had all summer. When the triplets and I were way younger I slept at their house almost every night and still do it's just not as frequent as the high school work load has kept us occupied. But we haven't had a sleepover with Ashton and Eriss with us since thanksgiving break which was ages ago.

We unload the walmart bags and the firewood from the car and dump it all in Eriss' kitchen.

"I think I got a splinter" Chris says as he puts the firewood down.

"Boohoo cry about it pissy chrissy" I snap at him.

"Gee what a good friend you are" he rolls his eyes.

"Only the best" I say in a cocky tone.

"Okay in an hour and a bit we'll start the magical disney movie looking campfire of ours" Ashton says to us.

"For now entertain yourselves because I need a nap" Eriss says while going upstairs to her room.

"She gets to nap but I don't? How is that fair?" I throw my hands up in the air before sitting down on the couch.

"She gets cranky when shes tired you just stop talking so theres a big difference there" Nick explains as he sits next to me.

"Here have this" Chris says while throwing me a red bull.

"Chris I don't want an energy drink" I say trying to hand it back to him.

"It's either you have it or Matt finds it in the fridge later and becomes red bull matt" Nick laughs.

"I don't wanna deal with his mattitude today," Chris sighs.

"Ugh fine" I roll my eyes, opening the can.

"Nick...?"

"Yeah?"

"May I ask why are you watching a 10 hour video of m&m comercial compilations?" I ask

"Scarlett are you seriously asking me that?"

"Yes nick. Yes I am"

"Are you not caught up on the m&m lore?" He asks me.

"I'm leaving" I say getting up to go find Matt, leaving Chris and Nick alone to their m&m lore.

I walk into the kitchen to find Matt putting away all the groceries.

"Matt you don't have to put those away" I smile.

"I know but I feel bad just leaving it here you know?" he glances at me.

"You're too good of a friend"

"I don't want Eriss' parents to get mad at her for leaving the house a mess when it wasn't her fault so I thought I'd just clean it up" He sighs. "What are chris and Nick doing?" he asks.

"I don't think you wanna know" I sigh.

"Tell me"

"They are watching 10 hour loops of m&m commercials because nick is apparently submerged in the m&m lore" I laugh.

"What?" He smiles.

"Honestly I don't know some strange people those brothers of yours"

"Oh believe me I know. Can we go make fun of them?" He laughs.

"I thought you'd never ask" I say as we walk back towards the living room.

"Chris you're not getting it the red m&m is the leader of the group and the yellow peanut m&m is his side kick" Nick yells.
