After our joyous day at the amusement park, we all agreed on going to TGI Friday's for dinner. The dinner was fun as usual, all of us casually involved in random bits of conversations and I'm happy because of it. I really missed my family and I'm glad that I get to spend an entire weekend with them.

All was fun and dandy except for the fact that my mom kept playing match maker. It kind of annoyed me to an extent but I really didn't want to be a buzz-kill so instead of acting all bummed and moody, I let her comments slide. She's just being her usual self, I guess. I don't get why she's all of a sudden fond of me being with Vic, though. I mean, I was never gay, I never acted like one. Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against gay people it's just that.. It feels weird, having to be paired to someone who's a guy, too.

"I wish I could go to California." My annoying sister whined, keeping her arm looped with Vic's. Seriously, that's where she kept her arm the entire day. I'm surprised that Vic isn't annoyed at her yet.

"Yeah, you should visit us there." Vic chided, making me roll my eyes at his niceness towards my sister. Seriously, how could he tolerate her. I love her but she gets through my nerves easily.

"Nope, you're not welcome in California." I argued as my mom unlocked the front door of our house.

"Like you own California. Shut up." She grumbled with a roll of her eyes. I badly wanted to flick her forehead and I was about to but Vic slapped my hand away. "Ha-ha. Even Vic is on my side." She added, sticking her tongue out towards my direction.

"Yeah, right. He's just being nice to you because you're a kid." I argued back as the three of us went to the living room, plopping down on the sofa.

"You're a kid, too, Kells." Vic chuckled and him and Kayla high-fived.

"Shut up, Victor. I'm not a kid."

"Mm, I think you are. What kind of adult would argue with their sweet, little sister?" He said as a smug smile came across Kayla's face. Oh, so now he's really siding on her? I knew it, I shouldn't have brought him here in the first place.

"Whatever." I mumbled and pushed myself off of the sofa, stomping my way to my room. Okay, maybe I am acting like a kid but Vic has been teasing me about being a kid for days. It was okay at first but it's just getting in nerves now. I am only six years younger than him, I don't know why he has to pin-point the age difference, it's not like the difference is that huge anyways, right?

I threw myself to my bed and let out a long sigh. My feet has been killing me. We walked around the amusement park for hours and although it was so much fun, I couldn't deny the dull ache building up on my legs.

"Hey." I heard Vic's voice as I heard the door opening and closing a few seconds after. I remained in my position, my face planted against my pillow. He insists on me being a child, fine, I'll act like a damn child. "Hey, hey, hey." He said as he poked my shoulder repeatedly. If I could, I would've rolled my eyes at him. He almost ignored me all day, only paying attention to me whenever I spoke to him so it's only fair if I ignore him now. "Aw, come on, Kells. You can't just ignore me here. I've got nothing else to do." He said as I felt my bed shift. I whipped my head to his direction and looked at him intimidatingly.

"Excuse you, who told you that you could sit on my bed?" I questioned with my eyebrows furrowed. He bit his lip, looking like he's trying to stop himself from laughing and I rolled my eyes at him.

"What did I do?" He asked, his hands raised in defense.

"You think I'm a child, then I'll be one. Go away. I don't care if you're bored." I said as I rolled slumped back down on my bed, grabbing my phone from my pocket and scrolling through my inbox. There are a few messages from Gabe and Justin, asking me how my vacation is. It made me happy that they took time to message me. They're really good friends.
