"I will," Kaely promises.
"I think your real fear is being forgotten," Squirrel says, his green eyes kind and thoughtful.
"Yeah, maybe," Kaely replies, seriously contemplating this. We all stare at him like he's the wisest person we've ever seen.
There's a small voice in my head that is shouting in the distance, "What the fuck is going on?" But I just tell it to be quiet and maybe take a nap.
Lance and Lily find us. "Lily!" Ashton exclaims.
"What did I miss?" Lily asks, standing above us like a glowing goddess.
We're quiet, because it's so much. I have no idea how to even try to tell her everything she missed.
"Brownies," Ashton explains. And I nod, because that's really it.
Lance starts laughing. We smile back.
"What's so funny?" Kaely asks, smiling too.
"Dude, you shared your brownies with the girls, but wouldn't share with me?"
"Ashton stole it from my mouth," Squirrel explains.
"I did," Ashton confirms, with a solemn nod. "I have a brownie addiction."
"And you?" Lance asks me.
"I didn't know they were magical."
"I didn't get any brownies," Kaely sulks.
"C'mon Kaely," Lily says, offering her hand, "we'll find the alcohol instead."
"You won't get kissed!" I call to them as they start to walk away. Lily shoots me a curious glance but then keeps going.
"No, you aren't getting kissed," Ashton clarifies.
"I thought you said you were kissing me?" I am so confused.
"Wait. What's going on? They're going to make-out?" Brendan appears over Lance's shoulder.
I frown. "I don't like your voice."
When I look down, Ashton is kissing Squirrel.
"Uh, no, that's not happening." Brendan pulls her off the ground and over his shoulder like she weighs nothing. He is seriously strong. I wonder where he hides his muscles.
"Hey!" Ashton hollers. "Put me down. You said no relationship. You said no monogamy. You told me no. I can do what I want!" She's flailing her arms and legs. Brendan ignores her and everyone staring after them, his hand resting on her butt to keep her skirt from riding up.
"Omigod, I'm Brendan," I gasp.
"Uh, I hope not."
I look up and Grant is standing next to Lance. He glances from my stunned face to Lance. "What's going on?"
"Squirrel shared his brownies with Lana and Ashton."
Grant chuckles. "You really must not like kissing me, huh?"
