~Connor's 15, Evan's almost 15, Jared's 14~

Evan POV

I went to Connor's house today. Yes, we're still together a year later. And happy about it.

Cynthia gave us a plate with cheese and crackers on it. She asked us if that was enough, which is funny because it's a huge plate.

Larry looked up from his newspaper and said, "Afternoon, Connor. Connor's friend."

Cynthia looked at him. "His name is Evan. Larry, be polite to our guest."

Connor just sighed. "Sorry about them," he mumbled to me. "We're going to be upstairs. Thanks for the food." Cynthia smiled so proudly, my heart hurts.

We destroyed the plate of food pretty quickly. I went to grab the last cracker, but my hand touched Connor's and he held my hand. How cliché.

Larry knocked on the door and opened it. Why even knock if you're just going to come in? I hate that. "Connor, your mother wants to know if Kevin's staying over for dinner."

"A, it's Evan. B, are you?" They both looked at me for an answer.

"I don't know. I don't have any plans with my mom."

"Then stay." Connor smiled.

Larry looked at our hands, then me, then Connor, then me, then the floor. "Alright." He shut the door quietly.

"I don't know if you noticed his disappointment, but don't worry about it. He's dumb and he's a coward. And I'm not a coward."

"Hah vines."

Zoe knocked on the door. She came in right after too. Really?

"Connor, why do you have to be so stupid? I sat down in my English class and my teacher asked if I was your sister during role and now I'm known as 'Connor's sister' and she told me how stupid you were and now I'm not gonna make friends and yo-"

"Jesus, shut up for once. It's not my fault I was born first."

Zoe groaned and stomped her foot on the ground. "Ughhhh! I can't with you!"

"Love you too, sis." He got up to close the door, then he sat next to me again. A little closer this time. Hhnkslksksks. "You do not want a sister, trust me."

I shrugged. "Meh. I'd be less lonely."

"You've got me for that."

I awkwardly laughed. Was he joking? Probably not. Probably. Not sure. Hhnkslksksks.
