Bella: Wait, there’s more to this story, right?
Summer: You’re lying. He definitely does not ask about me.
Raven: Yes, he does. He wants to know if you still have your braces.
Bella: Why would he care about that?
Summer: OMG HE DOES NOT
Me: Shut up!
I giggle, kicking my feet as I take another sip of my wine, thankful to have distracted them from setting me up.
Bella: What am I missing?
Me: I can’t believe you’ve never heard this story!
Bella: We weren’t all the same year back in school.
Me: Yeah, but I know we’ve talked about this at an after-hours PTO meeting at the bar.
Bella: If I was drunk at one of those, I wouldn’t remember anything.
Bella: Can someone just tell me!
Raven: Someone dared Summer to kiss my brother.
Bella: Who dared her?
Me: Raven did!
Bella:
Raven: I knew she had a crush on him. I also knew he was a disgusting creature, and I figured if she kissed him, she’d get over her crush and move on.
Bella: I appreciate the logic. Very on brand for you.
Me: Oh she got over him alright!
Bella: Was he a bad kisser?
Raven: You could say that.
Summer: It wasn’t his fault!
Bella: WHAT HAPPENED?
Me: They got stuck together!
Bella: NOOOOOOOOOO
Raven: Yes. My idiot brother came in all hot and mashed his face into hers and their braces got caught.
Summer: He’s not an idiot. He was sweet.
Raven: He drooled all over you.
Summer: Because we were stuck together!
