king_cobra: wanna play a game?

Ryan had been walking to Brandon's house to next day, getting the text. She ignored it, shoving it into her pocket.

king_cobra: i can see you. Greens a nice color on you.

Ryan stared at the text, her heart rate picking up under her green shirt as she looked around. Ryan grasped her phone.

ryan.daughtler: what do you want? if this is brandon or sean, it's not funny.

king_cobra: i don't want anything from you.

king_cobra: maryan.

Ryan's heart fell, feeling sick as she looked around for any sight of anyone. She rushed forward, gasping in a panic as she collided with someone. Backing up, she breathed heavy and held a hand up. Brandon tossed his hands up. "Woah, what's the matter?"

"What are you doing?" Ryan clutched her chest, trying to slow her heart rate.

"I saw you from my window." he answered, Ryan realized she was just outside of his house. "What happened?"

Ryan shook her head. Maybe she should have been honest in those moments, but in no universe or any way possible could she ever let him know about who she was not too long again. "Nothing. Sorry."

"Do you think we'd be friends if we were in a private school?" Ryan asked, the four standing outside of one together.

"I can see you and Trevor being friends." Sean nodded his head. "But you'd hate me and Brandon."

"I could see it." Brandon confirmed toward the two. "T, Ryan said you quit your thing."

Trevor gave her a look of disbelief as she tossed her hands up in surrender. Brandon nodded. "But, you love that dumb movie club."

"It's called Cinema Clique, dickwad." Trevor corrected him with a minor glare, shrugging his shoulders. "And i'm over it."

"You're over it?" Brandon asked. "Your over me and Ryan having to wait around after school for you?"

"That's probably why he quiet." Ryan hummed. "He's embarrassed of us almost setting the chemistry lab on fire."

"Extremely." Trevor confirmed.

"Okay, well, you use to be a high-brow cinephile stoner and now you're just a plain loser pothead with a mango." Brandon looked his way, nodding to the mango Ryan had brought him.

"Mr.Murphy, what attracts you to the leisure industry?" Trevor spoke in a british accent, pulling half his head phones off.

"Here he goes." Ryan braced herself.

"Inner what? Pleasure. It's like my pleasures other peoples pleasure." Trevor went on their way, a cheeky grin across his face.

"Great. Let me guess, uh, Trainspotting." Sean confirmed.

"That is a great film." Trevor gave an offended look.

"Please get new material, man." the curly haired boy begged.

"I looked up Brandon Ryan, by the way." she confirmed his way with a shrug. "Since when are you listening to country music?"

Trevor reddened in the face as Brandon looked over. "There's a country band called Brandon Ryan?"

"Singular." she held up one finger. "Trevs got a whole playlist for him."

Brandon went to say something before he walked forward toward a group of girls. "Hey, excuse me, beautiful babies."

"Who are you?" the girl in the front asked.

"Your worst nightmare if you don't tell-" Ryan began, Trevor's hand clasping over her mouth.

"Oh, we're just a couple of slum lords checking out the 1%." Brandon confined, looking to Trevor with a knowing look to keep Ryan quiet. "Do you know a chick named Zoe Desaul?"

"Who doesn't?" she asked in return.

"Curious if you know who she's dating." Brandon went on with a questionable look.

"More like who she's not dating." the girl gave a little laugh, sharing a look with her finger before they all walked off.

"School girls are kinda rude." Brandon confirmed as Ryan stepped on Trevor's foot so he'd let her go.

"Could have let me threaten her." Ryan confirmed with a minor inhale for air. "Instead of trapping me under Trevor's sweaty hands."

"Yeah, because you threatening rich school girls would go over so perfectly." Brandon confirmed with a nod. "Why didn't you just lick him?"

"I should have." Ryan confirmed.

"Love when you guys talk about me like i'm not right here." Trevor hummed in response.

"What about this chick?" Brandon spoke up as a blonde girl with braided pigtails walked out, one ear bud in. "Excuse me?"

She pulled her ear bud out. "What?"

Trevor gave Ryan a knowing look to keep her quiet. Brandon did all the talking. "Do you know a chick named Zoe Desaul?"

"The bitch with the blog? Best day of my life when her bougie ass got kicked out." the blonde laughed slightly.

"Vampire." Ryan whispered to Trevor.

"Oh, okay, well, do you know if she had a boyfriend, or..." Brandon trialed off in questioning.

"If she drinks blood for a living." Ryan continued to list on, Brandon looked back as Trevor's hand went over her mouth again.

"Lance or the other one?" the girl asked him.

"Lance who?" Brandon nodded.

"Graduated a few years ago. You know that movie True Romance? They have those vibes." she confirmed before walking past the four, they each turned to watch her go.

"Thank you. You've been very helpful!" Brandon called to her.

"Yeah, great flick, by the way. I love that reference." Trevor agreed, a happy smile on his face. He gasped when Ryan licked his hand, yanking back. "Oh my god, you actually did it."

Brandon laughed as Ryan nodded. "You liked it. Don't lie."

Trevor whipped his hand on her shirt sleeve as the four headed back to the jeep.

"Jesus, why do you always smoke us?" Brandon huffed as Ryan beat the pair in Trevor's room later that night. Rowan was out, so they assumed it would be okay to bring him over.

"Mind games." Ryan pointed to her head.

"She's a cheater." Trevor confirmed.

"Not true." she corrected him.

"We go easy on you anyways." Trevor argued.

"Ugh, I wish that was true." Brandon hummed, leaning back on Trevor's bed with an exhale. "Are you guys gonna write me letters and polaroids pictures when I go shave my head and go to the military?"

"Don't most places allow phones now?" Ryan looked back in questioning.

"Still, to be dramatic." Brandon grinned up at her.

"Yeah, we can send you a bunch of nude polaroids." Ryan confirmed, falling back on the bed.

"Thank you, I was waiting for one of you to offer it." Brandon nodded, the two looked up at Trevor as he stayed sat up, looking down at them. "Are you gonna come down here?"

"Or are you still anti-love?" Ryan hummed, sitting up as Brandon's arm slipped under her head.

"I hate you both." Trevor laid down, accepting the invite into Ryan's arms as they smooshed together on the small mattress. Brandon's free arm fell across the both of them. Trevor looked to the side, making sure his head was tucked down enough before a grin spread across his lips.
