We all watched as Mrs. Budden disappeared into the dark room. Within seconds the lights flickered on.
A loud gasp invades our ears, Medina who's been clutched onto me every since shouts. "Ma what happened?!" Slowly she absents from my waist as she peeps her head in the dimly lit room.
The other girls follow behind just as curious. "Get up boy, you done scared these girls and me!" Mrs. Budden speaks.
A sigh of relief leaves my mouth, I follow the girls back into the room where stood a boy I'm assuming to be Medina's brother.
"Brandon what the heck that's not funny!" Medina blurts as Brandon lays on the floor holding his stomach while laughing his ass off.
"Right I was ready to call the police, you play too much kid" Asia adds crossing her arm.
Mrs. Budden shakes her head watching her son laugh at the angered girls. I try to hold back but I can't help but join him.
No lie he got us good. "Hey at least someone finds it funny" Brandon states standing back up on his feet not before letting out a pain induced groan.
"Shithead" Medina scuffs. She probably thought she said it in her head cause when in her mom glared at her her eyes grew wide.
"Y'all are just a bunch of scaredy cats, and I wanna know who flipped me to the ground" He winced rubbing his side.
Welp, I guess those karate lessons really did teach me something. If only I'd taken it a while back.
"Ok but you got knocked down by a girl" Medina laughed, the other girls joined in. Brandon just stood there sheepishly. He grabs the back of his neck shaking his head in amazement.
Chuckling to herself Mrs. Budden asks "Who bruised my baby up!" Brandon looked down even more embarrassed than before.
"I did what I had to do" I smirk causing everyone including Mrs. Budden to burst into a fit of laughter.
"Man whatever, it was just luck" Brandon dismissed leaving the room. It's funny but I kinda feel bad.
"He'll be fine" Mrs. Budden states as if reading my mind. "I don't think we've ever met before although you do look familiar"
I shrug. "We probably have, I'm on the same soccer team as Medina"
She looks to me intently. "What's your name sweety?"
I smile. "Zisel. Nice to meet you Mrs. Budden"
"The pleasure is all mine" She says smiling back though she still looks to me as if she's trying to figure something out.

After a while we head back into Medina's room. As expected we all talked and gossiped till dinner.
It wasn't till then I relized how drastically my life has changed over the years. Me being me I've always had trouble making friends of the same gender.
