"Hi, thank you for coming in," the detective said to Brandon.

"No problem."

"Now can you start by telling us how well you knew the Perada family?"

"Honestly... not that well. I went out with Amara one time."

"One time? Why? Did she do something?" She asked.

"Oh no no. She didn't do anything. Amara was beautiful I knew I was lucky enough if she said yes. Especially since she had that whole thing going on with Jacob," he replied.

"Jacob? Jacob who?"

"Jacob Sawicki."

"Now what did she have going on with Jacob?" She asked.

"Uh nobody really knew... but that seemed to be the only boy who she was interested in."

"Okay So you asked out Amara while she was an item with this Jacob character?"

"Yes... well no... they weren't an item really... nobody could really talk to Amara," Brandon said getting nervous.

"Why is that?"

"Her brothers. They were... protective. They didn't even want her dating Jacob but... everybody thought oh if her brothers weren't in the way they would probably be a normal average couple ya know..." he said.

"So you felt you didn't have a chance because her brothers were protective and she showed feelings for Jacob. Is that correct?"

"Yeah."

"So what made you ask her anyway?" She asked.

"Well it was bet really."

"A bet on what?"

"Well both Jacob and Amara said they had never had sex with each other before so we wanted to see if ya know... if we could," he replied.

"If you could have sex with Amara?"

"Yeah."

"Did you succeed?" She asked.

"Well yeah, no. Not really... it's complicated," he said causing the detective to furrow her eyebrows.

"How complicated Mr. Vandall?"

"We almost did, but we didn't," he replied.

"You almost had sexual intercourse with Amara?"

"Yes."

"So why didn't you? What stopped you?"

"... her."

I walked to my locker. As I was putting books in my bookbag I saw Brandon and his friends talking at the end of the hall. I knew Brandon from chem class. He was nice, always payed attention to his study. I went to close my locker and when I looked back Brandon was approaching.

"Hey," he smiled.

"Hi," I smiled back.

"You heard about Lil baby comin to Beverly?" He asked.

"Oh yeah I heard about that. I was gonna go but I ended up spending my money on clothes," I smiled as he chuckled.

"Oh... uh well I got two tickets.. me and my friends was gon go but they got somethin to do that day," he said.
