metanoia - 5SOS

Brynn still stayed in her room as everyone was setting the table, including Xander and myself. It was really strange how Tarin just popped up, and left within seconds, I actually thought that Brynn invited her at last minute. Xander didn't seem too phased over the short conflict between him and Brynn, I don't even know what she was freaking out over, she's so dramatic. Xander only hit up Grace once, but then stopped talking to her after he found out her friend is friends with Brynn, which makes them friends by association. He's just been going to a lot of clubs that his uncle owns, I've only been to a couple of them, they're pretty lit, but I wouldn't go back.

Dinner was finally finished and the table was all set. Everyone started to take their seats, except for Brynn, who everyone forgot about. "Uh, what about Brynn?" I awkwardly point out. They all look up from their seats and her mom's eyes opened a little bit more than before. I could almost see her mouth, "we forgot about Brynn?" I just roll my eyes to the sadness of her family, and walk upstairs. I lightly knock on the door.

"I'm not hungry." She sternly says. I just roll my eyes, "Are you naked?" There was a pause as if she was confused, "No." She replies. With that I open the door to see her lying face down on her bed. "Damn what the hell's up with you." I say in disgust. She looks over at me and her eye brows cave in towards the points of her eyes.

"Why are you in my room?" She asks with a sassy tone. I look at her with a straight face, not changing my posture. "I told you I'm not hungry, you should respect my answer and just leave me alone." I chuckle to myself and she looks at me with anger.

"Since when would I ever respect you?" I laugh to myself, "Listen, whatever is happening with you and mother nature, stays between you two, don't take it out on us. Now take your stubborn ass downstairs." I say getting a bit impatient. She rolls her eyes, and slips on her slippers, and walks past me cause a small draft of cold wind.

As everyone was enjoying their food and sharing their stories and jobs, Brynn was the only awkward quiet one, but she was the fastest to eat her food, as if she wanted to be done already. She finally lightened up and said a couple things to Xander, but they were short as is "yes, no, mhm," and a small forced chuckle. I made good conversation with her family, and Xander, but I mostly stuck to talking to Xander.

"Oh yeah Luke, my uncle just got me a new game, want to come over after this?" Xander says making side conversation with me as everyone else talked about failures in life. I nod my head, not being able to reply with words, as ham was being broken down in my mouth. I could hear a disgust sound come from Brynns mouth. "What's wrong?" Xander asks Brynn. She just closes her eyes and continues to chew her food.

"She's mad because you enjoy my company more than hers." I joke, and look up to see if my comment bugged her, which it did.

"I'm sorry Lucas what did you say? I'm mad?" She says with anger filling her lungs. I nod my head and smile.

"Yep. You always get mad when me and Xander hang out. I'll tell you this right now Bryana," I say the name just to piss her off even more, "I'm straight, sorry that your boyfriend is allowed to have friends." I finish off leaving her speechless. She just threw her fork down onto the table and stormed out of the house, to God knows where. Everyone looked up confused, and then straight back into their conversations.

"Yo, that was hard." Xander laughs. I look at him in disgust, and then down at my almost finished plate. "What?"

"Hm? Nothing. Keep up the good work, you're relationship goals." I say sarcastically, leaving him in confusion. I stand from my seat and thank Brynn's mom for dinner, and place my plate in the sink. I make my way outside expecting to see Brynn, but I didn't. I was confused, did she walk somewhere where would she even walk? She lives in the middle of nowhere. Xander soon follows me outside, and guessing he was looking for Brynn also.
