We've been knocking on a few houses, the owners of the houses giving away big candy bars, just like Jamal predicted.
We just left a house when Ruby pushed Cesar and I to the side.
'Dude, let the little kids go first' he said to Cesar, letting the little kids run past us.
'Cesar tends toe be one track' Ruby told Olivia as we continued walking. 'Didn't have to push me for it' I told Ruby, making him mumble a 'sorry'.
'You know, loses sight of others' Ruby explained to Olivia. 'Me? I'm a gentleman' he said, making me laugh.
'I prefer to give before I receive' we walked towards an older man who was passing out candy on his porch.
'Hold on' the man said to Cesar as he held up his bag. 'Still one more little one' he put the candy bar in Ruby's bag, making Olivia and I snort.
The man gave Olivia and Cesar each a candy bar as we smiled politely at him.
'Its okay' I patted Ruby's head as we walked away. 'You'll grow'
We continued walking and collecting candy from the houses. Olivia and I we're having a conversation, where later Cesar joined in.
'Ruby, isn't it nice not to have to look over your shoulder for once?' Cesar asked him. Getting no response, we looked back and saw a little girl, dressed as a vampire smiling at us.
'Damn. We forgot Ruby' Cesar said, making us stop in our tracks. 'Where's Ruby?' I asked confused as we went to go turn back around.
'Back here, asshole' Ruby told Cesar, looking at him with an annoyed expression.
'Give me a sec' Cesar told Olivia as he went to go talk to Ruby.
'I think Ruby's mad' Olivia chuckled awkwardly as we looked at both boys arguing.
'It's normal' I shrugged at her. 'He has a lot of attitude in that tiny body of his'
'How come Angel didn't come?' Olivia asked confused. 'She had to babysit her little brother' I responded.
'Thank you for being so nice to me' Olivia said after a few seconds of silence. 'All of you are really nice to include me in your things'
'Don't say thank you' I winked at her. 'We've all been in a place like yours before. It makes everything easier when people are nice to you'
Olivia nodded before looking back at the boys. 'Hey, everything cool?'
'Most def' Cesar said, making me cringe a little. So weird having your little brother trying to talk cool.
'Hey, did you know Ruby crushes one arm push ups?' Cesar asked as Ruby looked at him with wide eyes.
'Show her, Ruby' he said, making Ruby and I look at him weird.
'You know what would be crazy cool?' Olivia asked, breaking the awkward tension.
'If we crashed that party' she said, pointing towards the big house that has music blasting.
'I don't know. They look like they're at capacity' Ruby hesitated. 'We don't wanna create a fire hazard'
'Will you excuse us?' I smiled fake at Olivia, pulling Ruby to the side.
'Dude, you're not gonna look cool and attractive to her if you take away her fun' I sighed at Ruby.
'You need to be less you' I said as Ruby looked offended. 'Me? What's wrong with me?' He asked confused.
'I don't know. They look like they're at capacity and we don't wanna create a fire hazard' I repeated him in a high pitched guy voice.
'She just said she wants to go to the party' I exclaimed. 'For once, be 'outside Ruben' and take her to the party'
