57. Stupid Casserole

                           LILLIAN PLOPPED DOWN on the couch after she got done getting ready. Athena said she would braid Lillian's hair after she got finished getting ready so Lillian decided to just wait in the living room. That's where both Carl and Colton already were. Colton was shirtless as he leaned against the chair that Lillian slept in last night, reading a comic while Carl had already gotten ready as well and sat on the couch next to Lillian.

"So your sister..." Carl started. Lillian looked over at him while Colton peaked over his comic book.

"What about her?"

"Is she hot?" Colton cut in, a smirk on his face. Lillian immediately cringed.

"Ew. Don't you have a girlfriend?" Lillian threw back at him. He turned pale as his smirk dropped. Carl glanced between the two.

"Girlfriend?" Carl asked, looking over at Colton. Colton's face went from pale white to bright red as he looked back into his comic book.

"Yeah, girlfriend." Lillian wiggled her eyebrows at Carl, a smirk on her face. "Colton and Athena sitting in a tree. K. I. S. S—" A pillow smashed into Lillian's face before she could process it causing her to let out a yelp. Both Colton and Carl began to laugh at her.

"What are you? Four?" Colton sassed as he set down his comic book and stood up. Lillian swiped the hair out of her face before she pushed the pillow onto the ground.

"Where you going? To kiss your girlfriend?" Lillian teased as she watched Colton begin to step out of the living room. Colton flicked his middle finger up at her as he continued out of the room. Lillian let out an amused hum as she looked over at Carl, who was already looking at her. She felt heat rise in her cheeks as she cleared her throat softly.

"I like your shirt." Carl compliment. She wore a black and gray AC/DC shirt. She kind of felt like a poser wearing it as she's never really listened to AC/DC but she liked the shirt because it looked old.

"Thanks. I like your flannel." Lillian complimented, even though she didn't really like his orange, gray, and black flannel.

"Thanks." Carl flashed her a small smile before he looked away. "So your sister, she's nice?"

"Yeah. She's real nice. You'd like her. Athena likes her. Daryl doesn't."

Carl scoffed, playfully. "Who does Daryl like?"

Lillian chuckled. "Not Colton."

"Still? Thought he'd be over that by now." Carl asked as he looked over at Lillian, almost amazed.

Lillian nodded. "He's a ball clincher sometimes." Carl broke out into laughing, causing Lillian to let out a small laugh.

"Who? Daryl or Colton?" Carl asked between laughs.

"Both." She answered with a laugh.

"Stop shit talking me!" Colton exclaimed through a mouth full of toothpaste as he brushed his teeth.

"Colton, gross!" Lillian yelled back at him as she looked away, disgusted by the sight. As the laughter calmed down, Carl began to gaze out of the window. Lillian followed his gaze, watching as a girl with brown hair began to approach the fence. She looked over at Carl's expression to see the confused look he wore. "You know her?"

"Yeah. That's Enid. She's one of the kids I met yesterday. Where is she—?" Carl started as they watched her began to climb up the wall using pegs.

Lillian scoffed. "She must have such good balance." Carl quickly stood up, heading straight for the door. "Wait!" She called as she followed after Carl. He didn't slow down as he ran towards the wall where she had just climbed over. He glanced back at her before putting his foot up on the first peg. "Wait, Carl— I can't go with." She told him. Carl continued to climb the fence, getting higher and higher.
