"different but same"

Cat laid on a blanket on the grass as she listened to her friends talk and occasionally cheered Eli on as he practiced. The girl was at the park with Eli, Miguel, Demetri, Aisha, and Bert as she called for a mandatory hangout with her friends. Eli had invited Bert and Cat understood it was because he wanted someone to practice on. 

"Come on eat something. It'll make you feel better," Demetri told miguel, who was sulking about Sam again. 

"I told you I'm not hungry man," Miguel responded. 

"I still think you're overreacting," Demetri told Miguel, "Agreed," said Cat from the ground in front of them. 

"I'm not overreacting, I know what I saw," Miguel argued looking at both Demetri and Cat. 

"All right, so you saw her eating dinner with some chode," Eli said as he spin kicked Bert, Cat winced and sat up to make sure the boy was ok. "It's probably just her brother or something."

Cat helped Bert get up and then made her way to stand next to Eli who was sitting on the other side of the bench of the rest of their friends. 

"No dude, brother don't look at their sisters like that," Miguel said disgusted. 

"Depends what part of the country you're in," Demetri said. 

"That's disgusting dude," Cat said, Miguel ignored the boys words. 

"Look, I just don't want what happened to Sensei to happen to me," Miguel said and Demetri nodded in understanding. 

"All right, so you go over to this kid and beat his ass, so he doesn't have the chance," Eli said as if it was obvious. 

"That would only make things worse," Cat said looking at the boy, who just shrugged in response. 

"Yeah, don't listen to Eli," Demetri added. 

"It's "Hawk,"" Eli quickly corrected, Demetri looked at his friend confused. 

"Cat still calls you Eli," Demetri defended. 

"So what?" Eli said. 

"Sorry Metri I have girlfriend privileges," the girl said with a shrug. 

"Yeah, whatever," Demetri said giving up, "the fact is, Sam's given you no reason not to trust her."

"Yeah, i guess you're right," Miguel agreed softly. 

"I've literally been saying that this whole time," Cat said offended that her brother was agreeing with Demetri. Eli laughed next to her and put his arm around her shoulder while kissing her temple. 

"Oh. That little bitch," Aisha said looking at her phone, Eli and Cat quick to move closer to look over her shoulder and read the phone. 

"what?" Miguel asked.
