“How bout I come in for a few min, get you settled, then I’ll leave.”
Marty smiled “Sure,”

She went and made herself comfy on the couch.
“Hey..” she started.
Brandon looked at her, “Hmm?”

“Don’t say anything..”

“About being over here? Oh I won’t. I don’t wanna get you in trou-”

“No Brandon..I mean about the fight.”
He looked confused, “What? No, I’m telling my dad and your parents need to know and-”

“Please?”

He breathed a sigh of defeat. He looked down and shook his head.
“Alright Marty, alright.”
She smiled in relief “Thank you,”

He looked up and smiled, “You’s a little bit on the crazy side girl. Gettin yourself mixed up in shi- er, stuff like that.”

She smiled at his sudden choice of vocabulary, “Haha I’m known for it.”
