"Well look who it is?" Keagan yells loudly as I walk into the room, squinting at the sound of his voice. "You had fun last night, didn't you?"

"Jesus Keagan, can you shut the fuck up? The sun isn't even out yet." I say, passing him and walking into the kitchen.

I grab an apple off the counter, rubbing it on the front of my shirt before biting into it.

"Oh, someone is grumpy." Keagan begins, raising his eyebrows. "Guess his night with Kasia didn't go so well."

"My night was great, I'm just hungover from the shots you made me take before we even left for the party last night." I correct him.

"Well tell us all about it."

"There is a pounding in my head and it feels like I could throw up at any moment." I say.

"Not the hangover. Your night with the homie hopper."

"Oh my god." I groan, ignoring Keagan and taking another bite of my apple, leaning against the doorframe.

"What? You're really going to leave us all in the dark? I told you about my night with her."

"Yeah, unprovoked. Nobody asks you to open up that big mouth of yours, you just like hearing yourself talk."

Keagan chuckles to himself, not deterred by my words at all. He leans back in his chair, his feet propped up on the table in front of him.

"Whatever man, don't tell us." he says, shrugging.

Henry walks past me, out of the kitchen and to the table where he sits down with his bowl of cereal. Keagan drops his chair back down on all fours and leans over to Henry, clamping his hand down on his shoulder.

"Maybe she'll get with Henry next and he'll tell me all about it." he says, squeezing his fingers on Henry's shoulder tightly.

I goran, walking out of the room and throwing the remainder of my apple in the trash. I see Henry move his shoulder so Keagan's hand falls off it just as I get to the stairs and walk back up to my room, shutting the door behind me tightly.
