It started getting pretty hot so I told everyone that we could go back to my house.
“Brooke!” It’s been so long since we’ve seen you! How are you, beautiful?” my mom greeted her with a hug.
“Hi, Mrs. Hayes! I’m good,” Brooke did that sad fake smile. “How are you?”
“Good, good, why haven’t you been by?” my mom asked. I knew exactly why Brooke hadn’t been over. Kelli told me I wasn’t allowed to hang out with her once Carter told her everything..
“I’ve been busy,” Brooke lied. She knew Kelli was the reason she hadn’t been over too. We went downstairs to the basement to chill.
“I love the fact that even you guys are almost eighteen, you have the mentality and maturity level of fourteen year olds,” Brooke sat down in between me and Carter, the side of her leg resting right against mine.
“I heard a rumor you hooked up with a fourteen year old,” Carter laughed, knowing it wasn’t a rumor.
“Who told you that??” she quickly turned her head to face him, the ends of her hair whipping my face.
“Kelli,” I laughed, thinking about the story Kelli told us. And then I realized: a fourteen year old got with Brooke, and I still couldn’t.
“In my defense, he acted like he was at least seventeen and I probably made his life by doing that. It was a one-time thing!” she laughed.
“That happened twice!” Carter laughed. She hit his leg and turned her head, embarrassed.
“She was probably just trying to make you look bad again so she could look better. I don’t understand why she has to do that,” I said.
“She’s a jealous bitch!” Carter yelled.
“Stop. She just gets insecure, all girls do,” I hated how poorly my friends thought of Kel.
“You’re not supposed to get insecure around your best friend though. That’s why she tries to keep you away from Brooke. She thinks Brooke’s gonna steal you from her,” Mattie said.
“I would never do anything with Brooke,” I assured my friends. That didn’t mean I didn’t want to.
