7 Kids On a Couch

We Go Together

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Nothing interesting was happening at the house. Needless to say, Raphi was very bored. He and Mateo were telling stories and reminiscing about their childhood together. "Yeah, I basically lived at your house that summer. We had so many sleepovers." Mateo laughed.

"Yeah, good times," Raphi chuckled. "Morgan," he looked to Morgan who was lounging on the couch, doing something on her phone, "have you ever had a sleepover?"

"Nope," Morgan answered. "It's on the list but I don't really know if I even can. I can't sleepover with you 'cause we live together, and I don't count sleeping here with Joey."

"You could have a sleepover with Eden," Mateo raised his eyebrows suggestively. Morgan's face went red. Mateo was the only person, other than Joey of course, that Morgan had told about Eden. She only told him because Joey wasn't great at relationship gossip like Mateo was.

"Yeah, have a sleepover with Eden!" Raphi repeated innocently. "She's your new friend right?"

"Yes," Morgan's blushing had calmed down but she was still a little flustered. "But I can't just ask Eden to let me sleep at her house."

"Sure you can," Raphi said with a bright smile.

"No I can't," Morgan exclaimed. "Maybe you could Raphi but-"

"Alright," he held his hand out. "Give me your phone."

"That is not what I meant."

Raphi stuck out his bottom lip and batted his eyelashes, "please." Morgan sighed and handed Raphi her unlocked phone. She expected him to just text Eden but what he actually did was facetime her.

"What are you doing?" Morgan asked as the phone rang.

"Shh, I've got this." Raphi waved Morgan off.

"Hello," Eden answered the call, confused when the face that appeared on her screen was very much not Morgan.

"Hi! You must be Eden. I'm Raphi, Morgan's very bestest friend. How are you?"

"I'm good," Eden had accepted the fact that this random boy was calling her from Morgan's phone. "How are you?"

"I'm great. Are you busy today?" Eden shook her head. "Good, you and Morgan should have a sleepover. She's never had one before."

Eden smiled, raising her eyebrows at the new information. "She's never had a sleepover before?"

"That's what I'm saying, dude. It's crazy," Raphi gave Morgan a 'see I'm not the only one' look.

"I'd love for Morgan to sleepover at my place though. Tell her to be over in an hour, I'll get the place ready."

"Awesome! Thank you, Eden. Morgan has to pack now. Bye!."

👏👏👏👏👏

"I just think it's crazy," Ray exclaimed.

"Why is it crazy?" Mateo yelled back.

"Because, who just doesn't learn how to swim? That's insane! What if you drown? You have a pool."

"I don't go in the deep end, It's not hard!" It was clear Mateo and Ray have had this argument before.

"Hey!" Ryan yelled, interrupting the two. "Where the hell is James?"

Mateo looked her over. She had clearly just woken up and she was covered in glitter and her makeup was messy. She was also shivering, wearing almost nothing. Mateo handed her a blanket. "James is busy. Rough night?"
