"elio" i heard a young boy scream. i looked out my window. "jimmy" elio screamed. they ran to eachother and hugged. "hey elio who's this" i yelled out my window. "come down if u wanna talk to me" the young boy, jimmy yelled back at me.
i walked down the stairs and ran straight into jimmy. "watch where ur going" he said and stuck his tongue out at me. i stuck my tongue out back at him. "how do u know elio" i ask. "i'm his cousin" jimmy said.
elio explained to me that jimmy was staying here for a few days because his parents where going through a divorce and they didn't want him to be too stressed out.
jimmy was staying in elios room with him and i felt bad for elio. i had only met him once but he seems like a pretty energetic kid. luckily elios room was on the other side of the house from rhea and i.

we decided to take jimmy out for dinner since he was only gonna be here for a little bit but it seemed like he had different ideas. "hey jim get ur shoes on we're going out for dinner" elio said. "no!" jimmy protested. "i want to stay at home and eat dinner by the pool" he said.
"cmon bud youre only hear for a little bit lets just go to a restaurant" oliver said. "no no no!" jimmy protested. "ok if you dont want to go you dont have too" elio says. "guess we'll just go without you" rhea laughs. "no dont go without me!" jimmy screams. elio grabs his arm gently and says, "if u dont want us to go without u youll have to come with us." jimmy nods and says "fine."

once we get to the restaurant we all sit down at a table for 6. theres one spot left but elio says his friend emma is coming. "hi guys" a tall blonde girl says. elio gets up to hug her and kisses her cheek, she giggles at his lips on her cheek. this is gonna be interesting i think. they both sit down.
"what would u guys like today?" the waitress says as she walks over. everyone orders and the waitress walks away. "shes really pretty" jimmy says. "shes pretty but shes too old for u kid" elio says reaching over the table to ruffle jimmys hair. emma laughs, everyone at the table can tell she likes elio.
"emma want to hangout after this?" elio asks. "will u guys stop flirting y/n and rhea have more chemistry than u guys and theyre both girls" jimmy says. i blush and avoid eye contact with rhea. "whats wrong with us both being girls?" rhea asks. i look over at her, shes looking at jimmy. "girls cant date girls everyone knows that" jimmy says.
everyones silent at this point waiting to see whos gonna talk first. "girls can date girls and boys can date boys" oliver finally says. "oh i didnt know" jimmy says. that was easy enough i think to myself, im happy we didnt get into an argument over it. "what are u gay?" emma asks.
uh oh that isnt good. "actually emma im bi do u have a problem with that?" oliver says. "you- youre bi?" elio asks oliver, he looks over at me excitedly. "yeah why do u have a problem with people liking the same gender?" oliver retorts. "what no- i was just- im gay" elio spurts out.
