"Hey guys!"
I looked up to see Brynn, approaching us.
"Yo." Cameron smiled.
"Hi." I said.
"I was passing through this way and I knew, you three got detention today, so I thought about informing you today."
"What is it?" Lucas asked, curiously.
"I wanted to tell you that I'm throwing a birthday party at my house, and I want you guys to be there. Also, there's gonna be a lot of food and drinks." She exclaimed happily.
"Wow! That's really cool!"
A huge smile instantly appeared on Shelby's face and her eyes lit up with excitement.
"I'll be there Brynn." Cameron.
"I don't know because I'm gonna get grounded after getting home." Lucas sighed. "I'm sorry."
"Try to convince your parents, please." Brynna pouted.
"I'll try." He smiled at her.
Brynn looked over me and smiled, "You're also invited." She told me.
"You'll come right?" She asked, her voice came out hesitant.
I need to ask my Dad first, if I could go.
"Uh, I-I'll think about it." I said, the smile still plastered on my face.
"Sure." She beamed.
Suddenly her phone beeped, she looked over us with a small smile. "I gotta go now but if any of you didn't show up at my party then, get ready to get hit by my ankle bootie." With that, she left.
We were laughing when I noticed a blue car showed up in front of me. It didn't take me a moment to recognize it.
I waved to my friends and reached towards the car. I opened the door to the backseat, only to see Maverick seated there. The fear arisen in me.
"Congrats on your first detention, lil bro." Elliot rolled his cigarette, as he spoke.
"He's not gonna sit here." Maverick seethed to Elliot.
"Stop it and just let him." Elliot said with a frustrated sigh. "And don't forget this is my car."
"No, I don't want to catch his disease."
My eyes welled up by the reply of Maverick. Hurt panged my chest and my heart clenched. I slung my backpack back over my shoulder and whispered. "It's okay, I'll walk."
"I can't believe you, Maverick." Elliot glared at him. "You're not gonna walk." He pointed his middle finger at me.
"I already told you, that he'll not sit near me."
"Fine, then take the shotgun, he'll sit on the back."
Maverick clenched his fists before glaring at my direction. I slowly climbed into the backseat when he moved to the front.
When we arrived home, I found Thibbault in front of the TV playing on the Xbox with his friends.
"Yo bro!" Elliot dropped his backpack and joined them on the couch.
I was going to walk upstairs to my room when I saw the door open of my Dad's room. I don't know what came over me, that I decided to go inside the room.
As I got in, I can't look at everything at once but the room was larger than mine. I stood there, my head whipping around wildly, when I noticed a portrait of Maverick, hung on the wall, playing with his guitar.
"Whoa." I allowed my hand to run through the portrait.
There were also some portraits of Elliot and Thibbault.
My eyes went wide for a second but then I looked closer, and there were some miniature portraits of me.
I slowly picked one up, in which I had chocolate all over my mouth. I felt tears forming in my eyes, and my lips twitched into a small smile.
It's just the little things. Little things matter, right?
"You remember that?" I quickly turned around to see Dad standing in the doorway.
"No." I whispered.
"Three. You were three." Dad let out a long breath. "It's been ten years." He paused for a moment.."Wow, time flew so fast."
I placed the portrait down, and sniffled while wiping my eye from the sleeve.
I saw my Dad staring at me, so I didn't waste any time and hugged him,
"Thank you!"
"I missed you." He kissed the top of my head.
We released from the hug, when he told me. "Your Grandpa must be coming by now. He really wanted to meet you."
I smiled in response. ____
