Chapter Fifteen

(Ricky's pov)
I stopped working on my homework as soon as my phone went off. I looked at the screen and saw I had a text from Eric asking me to come over tomorrow. I responded right away telling him I would and smiled. I'm happy that he wants to hang out as much as he does, especially after him being so distant and cold to everyone. I know it was just a front he put up so he wouldn't get hurt but the fact that he trusts me enough to show his true side makes me extremely happy. He said he needed to talk to me which has me a little worried, but I'm sure it's nothing. I finished up my homework and put it back in my backpack. Cam walked into my room and smiled at me. "Hey, just wanted to let you know dinner is ready."

"Okay, thanks I'll be down." He nodded and left my room. I was about to leave my room when I got another text. I looked at who it was from and saw Calvin texted me.

'Hey, just wanted to make sure you were alright. Haven't heard from you since Friday." I smiled as I read it, happy to have a friend that actually worries about me.

'Yeah, I'm fine. I was at Eric's house.' I sent it and waited for his reply.

'Oh okay, just making sure. See you on Monday." I put my phone back on charge and walked downstairs to the kitchen.

"Hey, honey, are you done with your homework?" Mom asked.

"Yes, can I go over Eric's house tomorrow?" I said.

"Weren't you just there?" Dad said.

"Yes, but he needs to talk to me," I said. Mom and Dad each exchanged looks and sighed.

"Fine, but you need to be home before dinner," Mom said.

I smiled and said, "Thanks." I made myself a plate of pork chop, corn, and mashed potatoes and started to eat.

"So, I have a question," Cam said.

"What?" I asked. He smirked and leaned over to whisper in my ear.

"Did you get some?" I blushed a bright red and pushed him away.

"N-no! Why would you think that?" I said embarrassed.

He burst out laughing and said, "Awe, you're embarrassed! Calm down, it was just a question. I wanted to know if my little brother finally lost his virginity." Mom and Dad sighed and I groaned.

"Sh-shut up! It's none of your business. . ." I mumbled and took a bite of my food.

"Cam, don't you think that's a little inappropriate for the dinner table?" Dad said, probably uncomfortable with the topic.

"What? In college people literally brag all the time about loosing their V-card," Cam said.

"I'm not in college! I'm in high school!" I said. Cam smiled innocently and shrugged.

"Well, no more talk of that at the dinner table! I don't want to hear about my baby becoming a man." Cam started laughing again and I blushed even harder.

"Mom, I'm seventeen! Just because I'm a virgin doesn't mean I'm not a man!" I said.

"Nope, you're still gonna be my baby," Mom said and I sighed.

"Well, I'm full so I'm going to go get some sleep," I said, trying to get out of this conversation.

"Uh, Ricky?" Cam said. "It's only six-thirty." I shrugged and put my plate in the sink. I left without another word and walked up to my room. Now to find something to do. I'm not actually going to bed right now so I decided to get my laptop and get on Tumblr to pass the time.

I walked out of my room and down the hall to Connor's room. I knocked on the door, slightly scared to see him since I was still embarrassed about the whole breakdown. He opened his door and looked at me confused. "Uh, yeah?" he asked.
