as soon as ethan parked in our drive, i hopped out his jeep and ran into our house.

quickly, i got my phone out and opened zoe's text conversation.

"yeah, bitch!" i screamed, throwing the xbox controller down.
"woo!" ethan yelled as we high fived each other.

we won duos for the third time in a row.
"what's the time?" i asked whilst yawning.

"um, 4:55," ethan replied. there was a long pause as if ethan was trying to read my thoughts.
"you're thinking of—"
"texting zoe, yeah, should i do it? i really wanna take her out tonight."

ethan sighed, taking his microphone headset off and i did the same.
"if you really want to but you have to really make it up to her." understanding, i nodded and flopped on ethan's bed.
