"Okay, Ciaran that hurt my feelings"

"Ugh Whatever, Cliff. Matt, don't you get it? Ian lik-"

"Ciaran, shut the fuck up"

"You two are so funny I should've hanged with y'all sooner. I gotta pee brb. Haha that rhymed! Okay sorry, be right back" Matt got up and speed walked to the restroom.

"Dude whyd you do that" I smacked Ciaran's shoulder ,,,maybe a little too hard.

"Ouch! Whyd YOU do that?"

"Ugh, whatever. I'll call you later, It's important. Gotta go to class."

After School

I walked in the front door and tossed my backpack onto my bed, flopping onto the creaky mattress as I then took out my phone.
I pressed Ciaran's contact and waited for him to pick up.

Ciaran: Aye, what're you doing?

Ian: Your Mom

Ciaran: That's hot

Ian: Ew white people nasty

Ciaran: Nah for real, what were you gonna tell me?

Ian: Oh so uhh as you could probably tell, Matt isn't catching onto the whole "me liking him" thing

Ciaran: I'm sure he is, he's just scared too

Ian: You know what? My mom's working a late shift. Come stay over, I'll invite him, and we'll see what happens.

Ciaran: Uggghhh fine I gotta ask my mommy first

Ian: Did you just...say mommy...

Ciaran: Yes, I'll be right back dont hang up

I heard Ciaran's loud ass yelling, instead of just going to wherever his Mom was.
"mOM cAN I STAY oVER AT IAnS HOUSE"

Ciaran: She said yeah

Ian: Well you screamed at her

Ciaran: Ugh shut up i'll be there in a hour

I hung up the phone and went to Text Matt to come stay over. I hesitated, afraid if he was gonna say no. I closed my eyes and exhaled just before pressing send.
I got a reply almost right away ...weird.

Matt: YES YES YES I WOULD LOVE TO

Ian: Calm down buddy

Matt: K sorry, is 15 minutes okay?

Ian: Nah that's way too long

Matt: Oh okay, 10?

Ian: I was being sarcastic, take your time

Matt: Ohhh sorry. See ya 😘

Ciaran arrived a few minutes before Matt did, so we still had a little bit to plan something.
