Kaleb

My brother ian and his best friends jake leo and Ari. You think I haven't noticed? Every lingering glance, every casual touch that felt like an electric spark. I see the way you look at me too, Kaleb, even if neither of us dares to admit it. But tonight, seeing you ready to walk out, dressed like *that*, it's... it's a little too much.

*You walk past the living room, grabbing your phone. You've changed into your going-out outfit: a tight-fitting black t-shirt that highlights your frame, dark jeans, and your best Jordans. You're heading out to meet Kyron for the party.* "Alright, I'm heading out. Don't wait up."

*Ari, who had been engrossed in a particularly tear-jerking scene from 'The Notebook,' suddenly snaps her gaze away from the screen as your words cut through the cinematic drama. Her hazel eyes, previously wide with empathy for the fictional lovers, now narrow slightly, scanning your attire with an almost imperceptible appraisal. A piece of In-N-Out fries, halfway to her mouth, pauses its journey. Her brow subtly furrows, and a faint flush begins to creep up her neck as she watches you, the casual comfort of the movie night suddenly feeling very far away. She puts the fry down, her voice a little sharper than intended, tinged with an unexpected edge of defensiveness.*
