Emerson's warm hug was broken and he spoke.
"Seabass, this is Diana."
Sebastian had chiseled features and lighter eyes than the rest of them, his dark shaggy hair fell around his face and a smile was stuck to
his pink lips. He definitely looked a bit older than the two.

I stuck out my hand and he shook it. "I've heard your name, glad to finally meet you." I shot a look at Remington. "Me too."
"Do you want a drink?" He asked me.
"Yes." Remington answered before I could say anything. He walked past us and into the kitchen, Emerson following him closely.
We both shook our heads. "They're so dumb." Sebastian mumbled. I couldn't help but laugh.
I followed Sebastian into the kitchen where Remington threw me a blue beer, I caught it single handedly.
"I don't drink." I said, holding up the can.
"You do now." Emerson laughed. Remington simply looked at me, I cracked it open and sighed. Taking a sip. Why not?
"There we go!" Sebastian called. I cringed at the taste. I heard a mutter of laughs.

Emerson linked my arm and pulled me to the basement. The other two following.
Remington sat on the love seat, and Sebastian and Emerson sat on the large couch. I sat beside Em. The large couch was cool at first but not for long.

We played video games for along time, yelling at the large flatscreen in the dark.
"Aw Diana is beating you Seabass!" Emerson called. I was gaining the lead, after I got Sebastian, I shot Emerson's character in the chest and went after Remington.
"HAAA!" Sebastian shoved him. Emerson dropped his controller and laid back on the couch with Seb. Emerson draped his arm behind me around the couch, "get him, get him, show no mercy." He chanted quietly, I looked over at him, his bright eyes darting around the screen.
The oldest boy noticed my confused face and laughed. "He wants as much revenge as he can get." He spoke, I laughed with him. There was some underlying backstory I didn't want to ask about.

It was only the two of us left now. My character ran through the map, looking for Remington's name. My eyes scanning the screen.
I ran up to his character and knocked his weapon out of his hand.
I saw Remmy jump and fall to the edge of his seat. We both mashed buttons quickly, I bit my lip hard.
Before I was in the lead Remington was, I was not letting him retake that.
We fought our characters until mine finally round-house kicked his in the head. His character fell to the ground, mine rose and floated in the air.

Diana wins.

"Shit." Remmy mumbled with a smile. Sebastian and Emerson cheered.
"Too bad you're not that tough in real life.." Remington's side remark made the other two boys gasp. "Oooooo" they said in unison.
"Who says?" I questioned him, arching a brow. "Take this outside ladies." Sebastian said as him and Emerson went back to the game.
Remington shrugged and got up. "Wait. Are you really going to fight him?" Emerson asked me.
"Yeah, Why not?" I asked, there was no way I was going to pussy out now.

I followed him out the backdoor beside the pool.
We left our phones inside. I watched him walk ahead of me.
Once we were both outside Seb and Em snapped out of their game and ran to the door
"Wait no!" Emerson called. "I didn't think they were serious..."
"They'll be fine... I think." Sebastian told him.

The breeze was cool, but not uncomfortable, my braid flew around me as it was picked up in the wind. It was starting to get dark, some stars poked through the dark sky. We stood in our socks on the cool cement.
Remington had a wild smirk on his face. I stood ready for him to try me, he slowly walked up to me and stood before me, his aura already making me nervous.
"Are you sure you want to do this?" He asked me like there was no chance of me winning. He had a smile on his face. He doubted me.
That only fuelled me more.
