When we got back inside I could see Matthew and Christopher attempting to have a normal conversation while in a weird position on the couch.

"Let me guess, you were trying to listen" Taylor said with a tired voice while running her hands through her face, trying her best to not sound so rude to the boys.

"Why do you always think everything we do is related to you?" Matthew asked leaning further into the couch.

There goes her attempt to be nice.

"Maybe because you make it seems like it does" she says while going back to the kitchen with the mothers. Nice one, avoiding the problem so it would go away.

"Who hurted her?" Matthew asked laughing lightly while me and Christopher just look at him with a 'are you serious' face.

"You did, asshole" I said while sitting in the couch next to Christopher, Nicolas was nowhere to be seen so I could have some peace, even if it meant just two minutes. I for sure wouldn't help them clean the kitchen, I need my after meal nap.

"Ouch" Matthew said with a fake hurt face.

We stayed in silence for about half a minute, until I remembered that Taylor was supposed to go on a date with the Gabriel guy. Earlier in the lunch I realized the boys don't like him, even though they said something about him hurting Matthew I think there's more to it. Maybe I should start the plan earlier than expected.

"Hey guys" I call out to catch their attention, continuing when they look up from their phones "Why don't you guys like Gabriel?" I ask them and I could see Matthew's face turn into one of despite while Chris just took a deep breath.

"He's just overall a dickhead" Chris said dropping his phone into his lap "He is one of those people who needs to humiliate others to feel better about himself, he also literally shit talks every girl he goes out with, I don't even know why half of the school is obsess with him" He told and I realized that the name Gabriel had really been a bad idea. How are we going to get away with this lie now?

"Wow, I had no idea," I said honestly "Well, anyway I think Taylor is just going out with him to get over someone else," I said pretending not to care much about the fact and saw Matthew frown. Come on, take the bait, dude.

"Who is she trying to..."

"What about you, Paige?" Christopher cut Matthew off before he could finish his sentence and I looked at him confused.

"What about me?"

"Do you have anyone?" he asked biting his lower lip "You know, someone we should worry about too?" he laughed lightly. Why was he asking me that?

"No" I retorted dryly and saw him opening his mouth to continue speaking but I cut him off before he could "So, Matt, what were you going to ask?" I directed at the boy who seemed surprised that I had given him room to speak.

"Nothing" he shook his head and forced a smile.

I heard footsteps coming down the stairs and turned to find Nicolas looking suspiciously at me and his two brothers together.

"Where were you?" I found his demeanor odd.

"I was actually using the bathroom this time" he replied simply.

"This time?" I didn't understand the use of the words.

"Nothing" he waved one of his hands before throwing himself on the opposite couch where his brothers and I were sitting.
