I walked through the door to find the smell of burning steak coming from the kitchen.

"mom?" I yelled

there was no answer

I walked into the kitchen to find Dylan setting the table

"WOAH HOLD THE FUCK UP?! I CAN'T BELIVE MY EYES, THE LAZY ASS CAN SET A TABLE?!
MOM GET IN HERE THIS IS A MIRACLE!" I yelled

he rolled his eyes before saying

"She payed me $20 to help her set up because apparently were having neighbors over"

me at a social event?
me eating awkwardly at a table while adults talk about jobs
and debate politics?
no thanks.

I trotted up the stairs and just as I was about to dive onto my bed,
mother came barging in.

"Alex don't you dare think for one second that you are skipping out on this dinner!" she said crossing her arms

I groaned

"why are we doing this anyways?" I questioned

"We need to make a good impression on this neighborhood considering you ruined this family's reputation in the last one!" she said

"oh come on It wasn't that bad" I said trying to hide my smirk

"YOU EGGED THE POOR WOMANS HOUSE AND NEARLY SET FIRE TO HER GARAGE! YOU'RE LUCKY SHE DIDN'T CALL THE POLICE" she exclaimed

"that was pretty freaking fantastic" I said smiling widely

"ALEX! YOU ARE GOING TO THIS DINNER! YOU ARE GOING TO DRESS NICELY AND THAT IS FINAL"

ughh

"besides I hear they have a son around your age, maybe you'll be able to make a friend" she said walking out

a son my age eh?
this could be fun.
