(Roman)
"Hey Tevon" I called over my little brother
"Roman"
"Hey, can you do me a favor?"
"What is it?"
"Can you tell Jennifer to meet me in the apartment to do the assignment? It's due tomorrow"
"Tomorrow's Saturday" Tevon said before I sighed
"I know, can you just tell her when they come down?"
"Sure I'll tell her," he said
"And you call me when it's our turn to perform again or at least go on without me"
"No problem," he said
"Alright thanks," I said walking into the crowd as they started finishing their last song.
Halfway across the floor I suddenly heard Aiden calling my name. Knowing my brother I had a feeling that didn't want to get involved in whatever he was calling me for. I was honestly tempted to just continue walking. However, I decided not to and ended up sighing before going over to where he was
"What is it now, Aiden?" I asked annoyed
"Don't you need me for the thing?" He asked
"The thing?" I confusingly said
"Yeah the thing," he said
"What thing?" I said not knowing what he was going on about
"You know the thing," I said motioning to the girl beside him.
I finally understood what was going on
"Oh, the thing. Yeah Tevon's got it" I said really not wanting to get involved
"Don't you think it's a two-man job?" He asked glaring at me
"Yeah I was just about to help with the thing," I said just to irritate him
"But don't you have to get another thing done for Jennifer" he glared before I sighed
"I completely forgot about that thing. Fine let's go I'm sure Tevon is waiting for us" I said giving in
He let out a sigh of relief before looking at Beth with a fake sad expression
"I'm sorry Beth but I have to take care of that thing"
"Okay next time then?" She asked
"I'll get back to you," he said before we left
"Thanks for that Ro," He said once we were out of her hearing range
"Why do keep on doing that?" I asked
"Doing what?" He paid dumb
"You flirt with those girls but whenever they try to move forward you run away," He said.
At every party we'd go to he'd flirt with so many girls but the furthest he'd go is a making out before finding some excuse to leave
"No, I don't. Not to brag but I've slept with plenty of girls" he said
"And ran away from plenty more. Speaking of those girls you only do it when she was with someone. Can't you just admit you just want to get under her skin?" I said
This was something I couldn't bother to deal with but was always forced to
"Who's she?" He asked irritating me
"Don't play dumb" I said before he turned his head
"I truly have no idea what you're talking about," he said turning back to me
"Hey Ro, who's that?" He asked pointing a guy out. The guy seemed familiar
"Don't know but I think I've seen him in my bio class. I think his name is-"
"Why the hell is he talking to Britney?" He interrupted me
"Tall muscular handsome. He's definitely her type" I said shrugging my shoulder
"Whatever," he said childishly looking in the opposite direction
'Here we go again' I thought to myself with a sigh
Having nothing better to do I looked towards the stage because Libby's voice had caught my ear. I had never noticed her before probably because we hadn't interacted in the week we'd been here. But now that I've seen her perform I had to say that Libby looked great on the stage as she sang and danced
"She's amazing, isn't she?" I asked Aiden thinking he was paying attention
"You can say that again" he agreed as I watched her dance
"She's a great dancer"
"You can say that again" Aiden agreed again
"And she has an amazing voice" I added
"I'm gonna go find out myself," he said before leaving
"What are you talking about?" I asked watching him disappear into the crowd. Deciding not to bother with him I stayed to watch Libby finish her song before flashing a smile and heading towards the door
Forcing my way to the front door I opened it to see Jake staring at me. We stood there not saying for a solid minute. It felt like forever but I snapped out of it before quickly slamming the door
As I stood behind the door, I held unto the handle blocking Jake from coming in as I tried to think about what I was going to tell him
"Roman!" He yelled. I quickly weighed the options in my head. Knowing this would end badly either way I opened the door again preparing for the earful I was undoubtedly about to get
"Jake," I fearfully said before looking at the lady beside him
Who is she? I had never seen her before but thinking about it she must be Trudy. She was rather beautiful and seemed close to Jake's type. I had honestly questioned if the two of them had gone on a date, but I pushed that thought out of my head because Jake wouldn't have done that because he was still-
"Roman, are you listening to me?!" Jake angrily asked snapping me out of my thoughts
"Um-"
"Room now! Party's over. I'll deal with you all when I round up everyone else" he said
"Okay," I sighed before going to the room.
When I entered I simply crashed on the couch knowing we won't hear the end of this
