𝗙𝗜𝗡𝗔𝗟𝗟𝗬, i got to eat, it was time for dinner and the only thing i ate today was some cheetos. '𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧, 𝐢 𝐬𝐰𝐞𝐚𝐫 𝐭𝐨 𝐠𝐨𝐝, 𝐢𝐟 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐩𝐡𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞, 𝐢'𝐦 𝐩𝐮𝐭𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐭 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐛𝐚𝐬𝐤𝐞𝐭.' steven looked at my mom, for a second then went back to his phone.
'𝐢𝐭'𝐬 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭, 𝐰𝐞 𝐰𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐞𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐛𝐞𝐚𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐟𝐮𝐥 𝐟𝐚𝐜𝐞𝐬. 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐫 𝐛𝐞 𝐚 𝐬𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐧-𝐟𝐫𝐞𝐞 𝐳𝐨𝐧𝐞? 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰, 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐨𝐥𝐝𝐞𝐧 𝐝𝐚𝐲𝐬.' right after susannah said that, jere snatched his phone. ' 𝐝𝐮𝐝𝐞, 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐤𝐢𝐝𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐦𝐞?' steven looked at jere, '𝐛𝐨𝐨𝐦! 𝐧𝐚𝐢𝐥𝐞𝐝 𝐢𝐭.' jere then threw his phone into the phone bin, as if he was playing basketball.
i couldn't help to stare at him, he definitely has been working out. steven blurted out, '𝐨𝐤𝐚𝐲, 𝐨𝐤𝐚𝐲, 𝐨𝐤𝐚𝐲, 𝐰𝐞 𝐠𝐞𝐭 𝐢𝐭, 𝐲𝐨𝐮'𝐯𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐨𝐮𝐭.' i knit my eyebrows together, i stared at steven then back at jere. '𝐨𝐡, 𝐲𝐨𝐮'𝐫𝐞 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐣𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐨𝐮𝐬 𝐛𝐞𝐜𝐚𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐣𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐡𝐚𝐬 𝐚 𝐛𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐛𝐨𝐝𝐲 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐧 𝐲𝐨𝐮.'
jere stared at me, oh, fuck. that wasnt supposed to come out..
'𝐮𝐡, 𝐧𝐨, 𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲, 𝐢𝐭'𝐬 𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐧 𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐧𝐨𝐰. 𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐰𝐢𝐬𝐞, 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐜𝐚𝐧'𝐭 𝐰𝐞𝐚𝐫 𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐥𝐨𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐬𝐮𝐢𝐭𝐬.' steven said trying to defend himself, jere scoffed his words. '𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐞, 𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐞.' conrad finally spoke, '𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐥𝐨𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐬𝐮𝐢𝐭𝐬.' i noticed belly and conrad exchanged looks write after. conrad plays football so he would go to training camp for 2 weeks in summer, steven wondered, '𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐜𝐚𝐦𝐩, 𝐦𝐚𝐧?' well he used to..
then a back and forth conversation about conrad and about him quitting football. steven broke the conversation about him quitting with, '𝐨𝐡, 𝐝𝐮𝐝𝐞, 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤 𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐥𝐮𝐛. 𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐡, 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐦𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐣𝐞𝐫𝐞.' thats new news to me and belly, conrad obviously said no. he's going to spend summer weeping in his fucking room.
'𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐡, 𝐢'𝐦 𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐞𝐠𝐮𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧'𝐬 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐧𝐚𝐜𝐤 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐩.' great jere is gonna get all the girls..
it went silent for one second. but susannah quickly broke it, '𝐨𝐡, 𝐠𝐢𝐫𝐥𝐬, 𝐢 𝐚𝐥𝐦𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐠𝐨𝐭. 𝐢 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐚 𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐲𝐨𝐮.' i looked at belly in confusion and she did the same. susannah gave me and belly an envelope.
my mom chuckled, '𝐬𝐨, 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐢𝐬 𝐰𝐡𝐲 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐡𝐚𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐩 𝐛𝐲 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐲 𝐜𝐥𝐮𝐛.' steven looked very confused, he stood up to get a better look at the cards. '𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭, 𝐮𝐡, 𝐰𝐡-𝐰𝐡-𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭?' susannah explained, '𝐢 𝐰𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐥𝐞𝐝 𝐛𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐥𝐢𝐯𝐯𝐲 𝐚𝐧 𝐢𝐧𝐯𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐨 𝐛𝐞 𝐚 𝐝𝐞𝐛𝐮𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐞.'
steven sat down and looked at conrad and jeremiah, they were laughing eternally. they ended up saying that we were immature, but me and belly said we would think about it. jeremiah looked at me shocked, he knew it wasn't my thing.
was it though..?
