"Biola!" I screamed over the phone. I was 100% going to get a noise complaint but I didn't care.

"It's 6:30AM" She said groggily before muttering a string of Yoruba curses. If my testicles ever float off into the sky and get dropped and swallowed by dolphins, now you know why. 

"Guess who just commented on my blog, you'll never guess!"

"Who could possibly be worth calling me at this time?" She said, I could see the vein on her forehead in my mind's eye.

"It's Seb!" I said, 

Then we started schoolgirl shrieking together.

"What did he say?" She asked, 

"It's so embarrassing," 

 That idiot had somehow managed to get even sappier over the last few years.

"You had better read it, I woke up Wale for this, you're on loudspeaker. " She said.

I groaned.

"Remember our pact? No secrets!" She reminded me.

I remembered clearly, that one night that we all decided to get tattoos on our ankles that said "NO SECRETS" in a drunken haze. Here's the kicker - it was in comic sans.

"Okay, don't tease me. It says :

This will probably come across as very creepy since we haven't been in contact in the last two years but I haven't been able to get over you. Yes, it's Seb by the way. I know this forum is public, but it's the only way I can reach you. Please PM me. I'm begging.

And then came Biola's giggles and Wale's exaggerated repetition of the phrase I'm begging. And then they started mocking my debut play. Now that is below the belt.

"And so, me the tough mobster, had my heart melted by the handsome Juliet with the nose piercing! And so, I die!" They said in unison. I really should never have shown Wale that picture of him last year, now he can mock me more accurately.

"I'll see you guys later," I said, in a feeble attempt to escape.

"I'm coming up to meet this guy next week," Wale stated before I ended the call.

"I'm nearly 20!" I protested.

"And I'm your older brother," and that was the last thing that was said.

***

Yes, of course, we got together. It turns out, he was great with the twins. Wale pretended to dislike him, but the truth was, he had a soft spot for him. Coley wanted to be just like Biola.

"Hey," I said to him, 

"Yeah,"

"We are boyfriends, right?" I asked you can never be too sure with these things.

"Yes. We're boyfriends,"

"Just checking,"
