My (Brothers) Best Friend

The basketball game

Friday

It's Friday. The day I resented I do not want to do anything today but Lila's making me go to the party.

"I'm not gonna go" I tell Lila as we sit in my room after school.

"Yes you are Maddie, you told me you would" she said.

"You forced me to" I reply.

"You still said it, so you are the games in like 2 hours c'mon let's get ready" she says.

"I don't need a lot for a game" I say.

"And a party" she adds.

"Yeah sure that too, I don't need to get dressed up" I said.

"Whatever do some makeup something to make you presentable" she tells me.

"Excuse me asshole" I said. "I'm presentable" I mutter.

"Not right now" she mutters back. "Now cmon" she tells me I sit up and start doing a little bit of makeup on myself.

"What should I wear?" Lila asked me.

"I don't know Lila anything it doesn't really matter" I say.

"You're annoying" she mutters.

I put on my black high waisted ripped jeans and a white crop top saying 1996 and I wrap a flannel around my waist. I sit on my bed and slip my converse on waiting for Lila to get ready.

"How's this?" She asked. She's wearing shorts with a crop top and heals.

"Yeah you look great" I say she nods grabbing her bag I grab mine.

"Good, now lets go" she tells me and we go.

We get to the school where there's already a lot of people.

"This game better not suck" I say crossing my arms.

"How would it suck?" She asked with a laugh.

"Don't know our team loses" I reply.

"It's my favourite people" we hear Luke say wrapping his arms around us.

"It's not ours" I say. He gasps.

"Liar I know I am" he says giving me a sloppy kiss on my cheek.

"Ew" I mutter rubbing where he kissed me.

"You love me" he says with a grin.

"Yeah right, where's your lover?" I asked.

"Who Mason, he should be-" he's cut off.

"Right here" Mason says jumping on Luke's back.  It's weird not seeing him like this with Nathan. I roll my eyes at them.

"Maddie" I hear a familiar voice I look up to see Nathan. Mason and Luke stop talking.

"Yeah?" I asked.

"Can we talk?" He asked. "Before the game?" He asked.

"Uh sure" I reply.

"Privately" he adds. I nod and we walk somewhere else. We get where no one else is.

"I wanted to say sorry" he says. "I'm really sorry, I know it's your choice I was just, I was just kinda weirded out he's my best friend and you're my sister it's just weird and if you really like him and he really likes you I'm fine with it" he tells me. "And if he's nice to you and isn't bad or anything it's your choice and life I'm happy for you" he says. I sigh a breath of relief.
