Kirstie POV

"So what's up?"

"I don't know, the sky, gas prices..." he trailed off. I whacked his arm lightly. "Don't get smart with me Kaplan. Obviously you're upset, so," I paused for a second, "barbecue?" I asked, even though I knew what what the answer was going to be.

His face brightened a little as soon as I said the magic word. Avi grinned and pulled me back into a quick embrace. "You always know the right thing to say." We pulled away and he looked at the others, who were staring at us. "Who else wants some food?" Everyone raised both of their hands. "Barbecue it is."

Avi picked up his keys and was about to walk out the door when he realised no one else moved, and were staring at him. "Are you gonna come or not?" Kevin snickered. "Sure, lemme just change first to no shirt and sweatpants."

Avi POV

I was puzzled. I looked down at my attire and heat rose to my cheeks. "I-I-uh, yeah-um, sorry." I stuttered as the others giggled at my embarrassment. I walked into my room quickly with my head down. Threw on a shirt, changed into jeans, laced up my converse, and placed a beanie on my head before going back into the lounge.

"Well that was quick." Mitch said. "Easy for you to say." Scott rolled his eyes at him. Mitch whacked him on the head and jumped up. "So, FOOD!"
