Darian's POV
" I'm home!." I said walking into the house
"Welcome back." Damon greeted
" Darian,why did you come back alone?"He questioned looking at the door as if expecting someone.
" No reason. I didn't want to come back with Matt and Alex was nowhere to be seen when school closed." I answered going to the kitchen to take a glass of water.
"Who brought you back?" He asked entering the kitchen.
"Amanda." I said
"Who is Amanda?"
"My friend."
"Friend?. But today was your first day at school, How did you manage to have a friend?".He asked almost panicking.
" Because, 1. I'm a girl, 2. I am friendly." I finished.
" But that doesn't explain coming back with a strang..
"Damon, it's okay. I'm fine, I'm back home safe and sound aren't i." I asked already feeling irritated.
" That's true." He sighed.
" it's okay."
"Sorry for making a fuss about it." He apologized rubbing the back of his neck
" Apology accepted." I said smiling cheekily
" That was not an apology." He defended
" Really?, As far as I know, saying sorry means apologizing."
"I said it was not."
" Yeah, yeah. Anything that fits your pants." I say going up the stairs to my room.
Damon's POV..
It's past 7pm, Alex and Matt just decided to grace us with their presence.
"Stop right there." I said turning on the light.
"Oh Damon, it's just you." Alex said turning around.
" Yes it's me. Why are you both coming back home by this time and why did you let Darian come back alone?". I questioned.
" She what?" Alex exclaimed turning towards Matt asking.
" Didn't you say you were going to bring Darian Home?"
" I did but she... But what?" I interjected
" Will you let me talk?" He asked shooting daggers at me.
"Yeah, sorry. Continue."
" She said and I quote "Matthew Black, My not so lovely brother, I know you love me very much but don't you try to take me home because I'm a big girl and blah blah blah
" I DO NOT SOUND LIKE THAT AND I DID NOT SAY THAT!". Darian says stomping down the stairs.
" Well you certainly meant that." Matt fires.
"I did not.I simply said Matthew Black, my lovely brother. I won't be coming back home with you because, you want to stop by a friend's place and do all your boys stuff. Can you tell me where Alex is so I can go home with him."
" And I told you, didn't I?"
" Yes you did. But I didn't see Alex where you told me he would be at and coincidentally, I saw Amanda and she gave me a lift. Darian finished.
" Matt, where did you tell her I was?"
"The basketball court. Where else would you be after school."
" No wonder she didn't see me there, Because I was not there. I told you I was going to be at the practice room today. How could you forget that?" Alex exclaimed.
"Oops!."
"I don't know why we are talking about this. I didn't ride with neither Alex nor Matt and I still came back home safe and sound." Darian said ending the conversation.
" I can't believe my sweet little sister is a big girl now, you know coming home without any help from us." Alex says hugging and ruffling Darian's hair. I giggle a little because he knows she hates that.
" Alex!. Stop that. Alex stop!, Damon please hold your brother, take him away from me please. Darian pleaded struggling
" Alex that's enough now. You've had your fun. I said stepping in.
" Fine, fine. He said raising his hands in the air.
" Have you guys had dinner?, I'm really hungry.
" we've already had dinner but I'm still hungry. How about we order pizza? Darian suggested
" Cool, let's order pizza. We all agreed.
