Chapter Ten
"How was your night last night?" Brandon asks me while placing a plate down at the table.
I shrug, "How many times are you going to ask about it?" I ask referring to last night when he was hounding me about Percy.
Riley, Bane, and Harry walk in and join us in the kitchen.
"I asked you already about it?"
"Yeah, last night," I say and give an awkward laugh.
"Hmmm, must've been drunk," he says while shrugging and stuffing his mouth with a scrambled egg, "So, forreal, who was the hot date?" Brandon asks with food in his mouth.
"There was a hot date?" Harry lets himself into our conversation and sits down on a kitchen chair while letting his feet up on the table.
"No, it was nothing, just drop it guys," I say and sigh at all the attention these boys give me while they tease me. If Harry weren't in the group, I wouldn't feel nearly as hounded, and if Brandon weren't so protective all the time I wouldn't need to be secretive about things, "I might let you guys meet him if we go out again, but for now just chill."
"So it was a date?" Brandon asks excitedly. Bane and Riley seem so disinterested.
"Why don't you guys ever have normal conversations, like ahh did you see that girls ass or like I love titties," I say with a low voice and that gains Bane's and Riley's attention quite quickly. Everyone bursts into laughter except me. I'm kind of shocked I said that. That's not really me to blurt out vulgar statements like that. It was kind of sexual stereotype, which I try not to enforce.
"Because we," Brandon starts talking then looks at Harry, "well most of us, try to respect girls."
"Ahh, but you don't respect their privacy?" I ask.
"That's different, you're my sister, get used to it. No secrets," and he dismisses himself from the table and conversation while putting his plate and silverware into the sink.

Percy comes to my house two days later when Brandon isn't home. He knocks a few times and I finally get off my butt to answer the door.
"Hi Percy!" I exclaim and he hugs me immediately, not forcefully but gently and reassuringly.
"I didn't want to be so sudden with stopping by again after the other night, but I had so much fun. Brandon's not home, yeah?" he asks and I nod.
"I had a lot of fun too. And yeah. He's at a party with his friends," I say.
"Oh, so he might be at the one we're going to?" he asks and I ponder the thought. If Percy said he's known my brother then they probably have mutual friends.
"Maybe. Wait we're going to a party?" I ask and he nods insisting for me to get ready. I let him in and he waits in the kitchen while I throw on some clothing really quickly.
The rest of the car ride is pretty quiet, but quite often I see Percy looking over at me, glancing at my face and smiling.
We park the car about a block away from the house where the party is. Percy promises that it'll be a smaller party, but I'm not quite sure if 'small parties' exist around this town. It seems like there's a party every single night and the whole town is invited to each one. Percy's hand rests on the mid of my back as we walk on the broken and chipped sidewalk. I can hear music pounding from several houses away.
Once Percy situates himself with a red solo cup, with strictly water, in his hand, he joins me in the crowd of people dancing. His hand resting on my hip guides me to slowly grind on him to the beat of the music.
