"I can't wait for Junior year to be over." I said to Cameron as he laid in between my legs, the both of us in my bed, my hands massaging his scalp.

"Yeah, me too." he said. "Senior year will go by real quick, so that's always a good thing. Not much to worry about other than applying, keeping grades up, and of course basketball."

"You're right." I said, moving my hands from his hair, wrapping my arms around his chest.

"What y'all doing in here?" Maya asked, walking into my room.

"Get out." Cameron said.

"Leave her alone." I said, hitting him in his chest. "We were just in here being bored."

"So I'm boring?" Cameron asked.

"Did I say you were boring?" I asked.

"He is boring." Maya said. "Just say yes."

"Didn't I tell you to get out?" Cameron asked.

"China said leave me alone." she responded, taking a seat on my desk chair.

"Right." I said. "So leave her alone before you get out."

"What's going on folks?" Gabe asked as he walked into my room.

"Ok,no." I said. "You get out."

"Great." Cameron mumbled. "A sibling fest.."

"But why?" Gabe asked. "I miss you."

"You see me everyday when I get into this house." I said, rolling my eyes. "What are you really in here for?"

"I said what I said." he said, taking a seat down on my carpet.

"If Maya stays then Gabe stays." Cameron said.

"No he don't." I said.

"Yea he do." he said back. "We're all about equality in this house."

"Yeah, what Cameron said." Gabe said.

"I'm about to fuck the both of y'all up." I said.

"Can I record it?" Maya asked.

"100%." I said back. "I want to keep it for a memory."

"Why don't y'all come down here and be social?" my dad asked, walking into my room.

"You see what y'all done did?" Cameron asked. "Now we all gotta get up."

"Since when are we not social, pops?" I asked. "I'm the most social one in this room."

"Well now that everyone is here, you could come downstairs and talk to us." he said, fake tearing up like he always does. "You're always in your room, ignoring me for Cameron. Ignoring all of us for Cameron. He ain't even shit."

"I agree." Maya said.

"Wow, ok." Cameron said, sitting up.
