Chapter 8: Bro's Before Blows

HA I SKIPPED MY SIT UP TEST IN PE TODAY! NO WAY WAS I GONNA EMBARRASS MYSELF IN FRONT OF MY CRUSH.

Chapter 8: Bros's before Blows

--Arlo's POV--

Sebastian told JC and I to wear something casual yet formal. My wardrobe consists of basically skinny jeans, skinny jeans, skinny jeans, shirt, skinny jeans, skinny jeans, shoes, shoes, shoes, jacket, shirt, skinny jeans. Because, well, you know... It can.

So I wore plain black skinny jeans, a white button down shirt, and a black tie. That wasn't "casual" at all, but I knew if I showed up in anything different Sebby would fuck me up. I glanced at JC who was currently putting on shoes. He looked nice as always. He wore blue jeans, a black polo, and a leather jacket. I decided to wear my glasses tonight, contacts bothered my eyes and only made them feel stupid - I don't even know how. "So Fernando doesn't know about what Sebastian has planned?" JC asked or about the third time in the last four seconds. "No, he doesn't, and he won't know until he shows up." That was my same answer every. Single. Time.

"He's going to have a cow." JC chuckled lowly and I watched him straighten up when he finished tying his shoes. "I've never gotten why people say that." I told him licking my dry lips. "It's not literal Arlo." There he goes again, saying my name. I'm not complaining though, I think it's cute and sweet. It fills me with warmth. "I'm tired." I softly said feeling my eyes droop down a little bit. "We could stay here if you want. We don't have to go out for dinner."

"No, this is like a sad version if a date for us. We should go."

JC lightly laughed.

"I want to go."

"Are you sure?" He looked concerned.

"Yeah, I really want to see Fernando's reaction when he shows up."

JC smiled before shaking his head, "you guys, all three of you-Sebastian, You, and Fernando-have the weirdest relationship." He told me. I only nodded as responded with an 'I know'. Thats what made us three amazing! "Come on, lets go. Sebastian is waiting for us by his car." I told him looking down at the text message Sebby just sent me. I stuck the cell into my back pocket along with my wallet, and opened the door. "Lets go have fun at this soon-to-be interesting night." I threw JC a half smile as he glanced at me before shutting and locking our door.

"God, you guys took so long." Sebastian complained as we got into his car. His roommate was there with us also, he sat in the passenger seat. "Sorry." JC and I said flatly in unison. "What happened to 'Bro's before blows dude'?" Sebastian's weird typical-californian-surfer accent came out even though he wasn't from Cali. "Oh my gosh." I laughed out and covered my mouth with the palm of my hand.

Sebastian started the engine and began to pull out of the parking lot. "I have no problem with gays, but are you one?" Sebastian's roommate asked turning to look at me. "Yeah, he's my boyfriend." JC answered for me. I simply smiled and nodded not sure if what to say at this point. "I'm Austin," The red head introduced himself as Sebastian turned on the radio. "I'm JC, and he's Arlo." JC pointed his thumb toward me. Sebastian's roommate, Austin, didn't look disheveled like the last time I saw him. I wouldn't expect him to look frumpy either, we're going somewhere, and he didn't just get out of bed.

Austin was dressed in dark jeans, and a black polo shirt, his hair was messy though, but it looked ok on him. "Fernando is going to strangle the life outta you ya' know." I spoke up after a while, the radio was softly playing some lame pop song. "I know, but its totally worth it."

*****

We were seated in the restaurant, all four of us. Fernando was on his way, and our mystery guest was on his way here also. "What if he causes a scene?" Austin asked sitting next to Sebastian. "Fernando isn't really like that," Sebby started to explain, "He's the kind of guy who'd ask you for some help with something behind somewhere and start kicking your ass."

"And this is your brother?"

"Yes."

"Hmmm..." Austin squinted his eyes and pressed his lips together in a straight tight line. I sat next to JC, who was seated across from Sebastian. We held hands under the table and quietly talked amongst ourselves. We basically talked about school and how we would do stuff. What we would do when we had free time, and when we could meet up places between our schedule. I looked up, my best friend senses tingling. "Fernando's here." I smiled deviously as Fernando walked up to our table dressed nicely.

He was wearing dark pants, and a dark blue shirt. It made his tanned skin and muscles stand out, and his complexion looked nice with the color. "Hey Fernando." We all greeted the boy in sync giving him "innocent" smiles. "Uh, hey...?" He gave us a look before sitting down next to Austin. "You guys haven't ordered anything yet?" He asked looking at our empty table. There were no drinks or appetizers, we told the waitress that we'd like to start ordering when everyone arrived. Not everyone is here yet. "No, we're still waiting on one more person." Sebastian informed his brother and ran a hand threw his sandy blond hair before giving a grin.

"Who?"

"Someone you know," Sebby winked.

"Could I guess?"

"No."

"Why not?" Fernando Hines and pouted. Sebastian ignored him and started to talk to Austin. I yawned a little, covering my mouth with the back of my hand, because I am a polite motherfucker.

"How are you feeling?" JC rubbed my arm lightly with the back of his hand. "I'm fine, thank you." The corners of my mouth twitched into a stupid looking smile. "You're welcome." He quickly kissed my cheek making her no one witnessed it. "Have you talked to your parents lately?" JC asked me looking at my profile. "No," I shook my head. "They haven't called either." What's the point in trying anyway, is what I wanted to tell him, but I didn't. I couldn't. He can't know I'm hurting. "What about your parents?" Over the summer I haw met JC' parents countless if times. Ella-Marie and Jackson, They were both amazing. His mom was loud and fun, and his dad was quiet and reserved but pretty funny.

A jolt a brief pain went through my leg. Someone had kicked me in the shin. Excuse you! My shin is to priceless for your foot to be up all on it trying to damage my preciousness. Austin, JC, as Sebby were all discretely looking at me and carefully nudging there heads toward the direction if the entrance.

There he was.

Our final guest.

The one Ferny was going to strangle us for inviting.

His roommate.

WELL THERE YOU GO MY SWEETIE TWEETIES!!!!
