I ring the doorbell of Carter's house. Carter opens the door. "I'm guessing that's for my brother?" He asks referring to the gift bag I have in my hand.

"Actually, you're correct. Sorry, I didn't get you anything," I kid.

"You can put it on that table over there with the blue plastic." He points to the table in the kitchen. I walk inside and place it on the table.

"Is Linds here yet?" I ask realizing the house is almost empty.

"Yeah. She's up in Ryan's room."

"Oh, cool." We sit down on the couch. "So, your parents get you anything?"

"I don't know. They're waiting until we open the others. It's probably a car or something."

"Oh, cool." Lindsay and Ryan come down the stairs.

"Oh, hey Sair!" Lindsay says.

"Hey." The doorbell rings.

"I'll get it," says Ryan. He opens the door. "Hey man, what's up?" Ryan bumps fists with the boy. "Baby, you remember Ryder."

"Yeah, hey. How've you been?" She asks.

"Good. You?"

"Good."

"Carter, man! Got yourself a girl?" Carter stands up to face the boy.

"Um, yeah. Sure. Uh, Sarah, meet Ryder. Ryder, meet my girlfriend, Sarah."

"Sup Sair."

"Hi." Carter's parents come through the door.

"Hi, girls!" Ms. Smith says. "Ryder. Cart, where's Deven? And, uh, Jimmy?"

"They're coming," he says. "They'll be here soon. They're still in Weston."

"Oh, okay. Well, burgers are ready when you are."
