Boy with the Blonde Hair

It was an awkward silence all the way back to the hotel. Caleb and Adrianus hadn't said anything to each other. I was in between the two of them, and I must admit, I was uncomfortable. The silence was broken by Airi and Ritza blasting music in the van that we were using to tour around Europe. I smiled, as I watched my colleagues laugh and smile. They already looked years younger, we could've all been mistaken for teenagers. When we finally arrived back at the hotel, we decided we wanted pizza for dinner. Being in Italy, no one was really surprised.
Unfortunately, this is where the trouble started.
"Cal, you're going share a pizza with me right? I know how much you enjoy chicken and pineapple.", Caleb grinned.
"Hmph.", Adrianus snorted. "Who in their right minds cooks a fruit, and places it on a sacred food group know as the pizza?"
"I'll have you know that pineapple tastes heavenly on pizza.", I returned the snort.
"You call yourself intelligent.", Adrianus scowled.
"No I don't. I just have what you don't. It's called class.", I flipped my hair.
"Are you seriously arguing about which topping to put on a pizza?" Aurora raised her eye-brow.
"Well, my brother has always been one to argue just for the sake of it.", Caleb grumbled. "For that reason, I didn't like playing with him as children."
"To be honest, I don't even know how you can bear with his horrible temperament now. Not like he's gotten any better.", I growled.
"Caleb, how on Earth and why on Earth are you actually friends with this insufferable shorty?", Adrianus asked loudly.
"Yeah, I'm the insufferable one between the both of us", I glared.
"Callisto, Adrianus!" Caleb shouted. "Do you fight like this all the time?"
"Well, he started it.", I grumbled.
"Callisto.", Caleb said seriously. " I have to ask why you argue back."
"Don't most people?" I asked. "He can't think that the world revolves around him. There are different people on this planet, like myself, who aren't very 'detail-orientated'. Nor do we share the same thoughts or opinions. He needs to learn to respect that."

Everyone was silenced by my miniature speech.
"You know what, I've lost my appetite. I'll see you all in the morning, bright and early.", I walked out of the room belonging to Caleb and dragged myself to my own.
