"Yo, Reese! Wait up!" Philip yells from behind me. I wait on the side of the hallway for him to catch up.

"What's up?" I question as we start walking together.

"I was gonna ask if one of your brothers could help me lose weight? I saw how jacked your brothers were at the party and thought I could use some of their advice," he says.

"Yeah for sure. I know Jaxson would love to help you out. He struggled with his weight a lot too. It wasn't until his senior year that he started to gain some muscle and become a real gym junky," I explain. "Have you been working out?"

"Yeah, since like middle school, but I just can't stick to it. I'll go one day and throw myself a pity party the next when I don't see my body changing."

"Honestly, I think you're handsome as fuck," I admit. "But then again, I can't totally feel or understand how you feel and I can't tell you to feel otherwise either. I'll do my part and talk to my brother as soon as possible."

"Thanks, Reese. You're a fucking life savour," he pulls me in for a hug.

"Show your PDA somewhere else. People need to get through," a snarky girl comments as she walks by us.

"Funny how you still got around us, so I guess we weren't such a problem," I retort.

Without saying anything, she flips me off as she continues walking.

"Fuck you too," I groan. "What?"

"Can her," Philip says.

"I hope she is canned and transported to China and eaten uncooked."

"You know that's not what that means, right?"

"Of course, I'm not that stupid," I roll my eyes. "Come, we need to keep going or else we're both gonna be late for class."

"Yeah, let's go," he says and we start walking again.

"I know we haven't really spoken about it, but I'm so sorry for kissing you at the diner. With King acting so cocky, I just wanted to show him that he's not all that and that I don't go for just anybody."

"So are you saying you would go for me?"

"Of course! I literally just said your handsome and your personality is bomb and you're funny. What else could a girl ask for?"

"Oo, well I'm sorry to break it to you, but I'm actually talking to someone else. So if you want a piece of this, you're gonna have to get in line," he brags.

"No way! Actually? Who is it?"

"Some girl I met at the gym. She's really sweet and she's actually homeschooled," he explains.

"Well, that's interesting. Is that why you wanna get really serious about losing weight?"

"Yeah and I'm just tired of being out of breath all the time. I just wanna be healthy for myself before I get healthy for someone else," he shares.

"I one hundred support this and I'm so excited for you. You're gonna be a whole ass different person in a few months. Mark my words."

"Hopefully," he smiles.

☕︎☕︎☕︎

"So Reese, are you coming?"

"I'm sorry what?" I ask as I lock my phone.

"Who are you always texting these days?" Ev questions.

"No one. Just friends from home," I lie. I was actually texting Seb.

"Mm," she replies.

"So yeah, I was asking if you're coming for my parents' little business party. They have one every year," Jake explains.

"Oh, is it this Friday?"

"Yeah, starts at six."

"At the Zhao mansion?"

"Yeah, how'd you know?"

"Grayson got an invitation from your parents. I think we might just be business partners one day," I smile.

"Your brother's Grayson Price?"

"Yes sir."

"Your family owns Price Enterprises?"

"Yes, that is our company," I smile awkwardly.

"Shit, you guys are fucking loaded. This all makes sense now," Jake sighs.

"What does?"

"The big house and the expensive clothes."

"Um, these are from Sports Check and Lululemon," I share.

"Okay, not your clothes but Roman's watch. He's wearing a forty-k Rolex."

"So are you."

"And you wouldn't have known that unless you've seen one or someone in your house owns one."

"First of all it says Rolex on the watch and what is this? A competition to see who the richest in our friend group is?" Sarah breaks in. "Because let me start. I have... yeah that's it. That's all I have, nothing. I don't even have a comeback."

"Sarah!" We all say in unison and start laughing.

"I got... fifty cents," Philip says pulling out change from his shorts' pocket.

"I got twenty bucks! I'm richer than you!" Ev claims!

"Well bitch... I got nothing," Zoya adds.

And we all burst into a fit of laughter.

☕︎☕︎☕︎

"Come on Reese, it's not that hard," Everleigh complains. It's around five right now and Sarah, Everleigh and I have been trying to learn the WAP dance in the middle of the living room.

Zoya is here too, but she's the cameraman because she said and I quote 'my family will disown me and send me back to Pakistan for the rest of my life and get me married off within a year if they see me doing this'.

I personally believe that's a tad bit dramatic especially for her, but we didn't want her to risk it. It was Everleigh and Sarah's idea to do this and I wish I had declined too. Sarah used to do ballet when she was younger so she's flexible and she can move her body easily while Everleigh has been a trained dancer since the age of three.

"Okay, let me do it," I breathe and shoo everyone away.

"Ready?" Zoya asks.

"Yeah," I reply. "Now from the... top... make it drop... some wet ass pussy..."

I try to word the lyrics as I practise the moves, but give up and start shaking my ass because that's the only move I'm good at.

"Reese! You're not even trying!" Sarah complains.

"Come on, you can't even complain. She's good at shaking her ass though," Zoya compliments.

"See, Zoya gets it," I joke. "I'm sweating man."

"We all are," Everleigh complains.

"I thought this was supposed to be a thirst trap though?"

"It was but it's taking you forever to learn it," Everleigh laughs.

"You do know my brothers are gonna throw a fit when they see this, right?"

"Yeah so is mine," Everleigh shares.

"And this was the moment I realized that I am so blessed to be an only child," Sarah adds.

"You're an only child? Life of my dreams," I sarcastically reply. "Okay, let's get this done. I wanna shower and eat."

"Yeah me too," Everleigh agrees.

"I promise I'll try this time," I laugh.

"You better," Sarah warns.

"Yeah, I'm done with all these dramatic angles. I swear I misplaced a disk in my spine."

"Good, how else would we know the love and effort is real?... Kidding," we all laugh at my reply.

"Okay, get in positions," Zoya announces. Everleigh stands in the front while Sarah and I stand next to each other behind her. "Okay, three... two... one..."

"... Now from the top... make it drop... that's some wet ass püssy..." I word as I dance. I'm keeping up quite well this time and even enjoying it. It seems as if we're in sync and it makes me even happier as I let it come to me naturally.

"I SWEAR TO FUCKING GOD!" We hear a loud voice boom. We're on the floor for this move and all I see is a pillow fly over me and hit Everleigh.

"Ow!" Everleigh screams and I swear all the colour in our skins is drained. Zoya puts the phone down but forgets to turn it off and the song plays on repeat as she stands up tall. It looks like a child got caught stealing cookies they knew they weren't supposed to have.

Sarah, Everleigh and I are still on the ground. Sarah and I are still afraid to look behind us, but Everleigh is throwing daggers at whoever the culprit was.

"I'm too scared to look," Sarah mumbles.

"Me too," I whisper back. "Who is it?"

"Please tell me that is not my sister doing the WAP dance on repeat," Reis's voice echoes through our house, disappointment lacing his tone.

"Yeah, Reese please tell us that it's not what we think it was," I hear Roman from behind me. I sigh heavily as I turn around on my back before sitting up. I hide my face in my hands trying to display a look of guilt and innocence as I try to think of what to say.

"She made me do it!" I yell pointing at Everleigh.

"Reese!" Everleigh complains.

"I have five brothers, you have one. Please take one for the team," I beg. "And it was your idea."

"Fine," Everleigh groans. We all get up and dust ourselves off as all the men surround us. While Roman, Sebastian, Nate and Carter stand behind us, Reis, Landon, Elliot, Omar and Travis stand in front. Instead of being centred, we move to the side so that we're in a little circle. While Reis, Landon, Roman and Sebastian look pissed, the rest of their friends look quite entertained. Not in the sexualizing way, but in the hahaha you just got caught and you're about to get bitched at type of way.

"Zoya, turn it off," I scold.

"Oh shit, sorry," Zoya apologizes and her face turns an even brighter shade of red.

"You guys have two minutes to explain yourselves," Reis says crossing his arms.

We all look at Everleigh to start.

"Uh... well... this week's assignment from the coach was to explore different types of popular dance styles and teach at least one other person how to do it. I couldn't pick between Sarah and Reese so I was teaching them both and the bonus assignment was to post it on social media and whoever got the most views would get a prize," Everleigh lies flawlessly.

This is why we're friends.

Reis raises his eyebrows.

"So you're telling me, mom made you do this and is okay with you doing this?" he questions.

Her mom is the coach? If I could, I would facepalm myself right now.

"I mean she didn't make me do it, we were free to do whatever we wanted. She doesn't know I'm doing this particular dance, but I'm sure she wouldn't have a problem if she did."

"Okay, I'll call mom right now then," Reis says pulling out his phone.

"Okay go ahead, but she's actually in a really important meeting right now, remember. She told us not to disturb her unless it was absolutely necessary," Everleigh reminds her brother. Reis looks at her with defeat.

"We'll deal with this at home."

"That's what I thought," Everleigh says.

"Yeah, so on that note let's go home. I'm sure Landon and Roman need to deal with Reese too."

"Okay, that's kind of offensive. I'm not an object they need to deal with," I retort.

"Shut up, Reese," Roman smacks my arm.

"Ow, abuse," I roll my eyes as I rub my arm.

"Well, on that note, I think my mom is expecting me home for dinner," Zoya says.

"Yeah, I have to be home too," Sarah says. They both start to wave bye before quickly taking their leave. Reis and Everleigh follow behind and Omar and Travis say their goodbyes along with Carter and Nate.

"So... um this was a great meeting, I'm just- ow! Ow! Ow!" I scream as Roman stops me from leaving by pulling my hair from behind. "What the fuck, Roman!"

I punch him in the arm as hard as I can.

"Fuck, bitch!" Roman jumps back and lets go of my hair as he rubs his arm.

"You're fucking gonna make me go bald. I'm sixteen!"

"It'd be well earned!"

"Fuck you!"

"Fuck you!"

"Whoa! What is going on here?" Aaron walks in with a briefcase in his hand and Grayson right next to him.

I throw a death glare at my brothers hoping they don't snitch on me.

"We caught Reese doing the WAP dance," Roman snitches. My automatic reaction is to smack his arm exactly where I punched it before.

"Bro! What the fuck is wrong with you?"

"What the fuck is wrong with you?"

"Can we please, take it down on all the profanity in here?" Grayson says as he stands next to us with Aaron.

"Should we sit down for this conversation or?" Aaron questions.

"No, there is no conversation to be had," I reply. "I was dancing like I usually do and they're just making it a big deal."

"She was shaking her ass to WAP," Landon complains.

"What else am I supposed to do to it? It's not a song you pray to..." I snicker.

This causes Grayson to smile and Aaron puts his fist up to his lips trying to stifle his laughter.

"Yeah, I don't really get the issue here," Aaron says.

"Okay, well she's fifteen and was about to post herself shaking her ass on a public, social media platform..." Roman describes.

"Still don't see it," Aaron says.

"Gray?" Landon asks.

"Well, I get where you guys are coming from and I also get what Aaron might be getting at, but I would like to hear it from him first," he shares.

"Let's start with have you guys been on TikTok? It's literally little kids doing the most and I'm not saying if they're jumping off a bridge then so should you, but they're confident and making bank. Someone's confidence doesn't determine someone's character just like someone quote on quote shaking their ass doesn't determine their character. It's like saying a girl is asking for it if she's wearing a strapless shirt or showing a little too much skin. Men have their dick print out and dancing in grey sweatpants, but no one says anything about that."

"This is why you are my favourite," I instantly reply.

"I always knew it," Aaron winks.

"But don't you think she's too young?" Landon says.

"Too young for what, to be confident? Because I don't think there's an age for that and if you're worried about what other boys will think, well that's on them. As long as Reese knows her limits and isn't purposely trying to seduce people, I am comfortable with whatever she wants to do."

"I couldn't have said it better myself. I've seen how mom and dad were with us and I have seen how they were with her. There was no difference and so we're not going to be harder on her either just because she's a girl who is becoming a woman. I knew these things were gonna happen... and-"

"Gray, awww don't cry," I pout as I hug him. He rubs my back. We stay in the position for a few seconds before he breaks the hug

"I'm not crying, but you know. You're just growing up and we gotta let you. It's letting you dance a certain way today, it'll be walking you down the aisle and holding your child in my arms another day."

"WOAH, slow down there. I am only sixteen."

"Now you're only sixteen, huh?" Landon laughs and pulls me into a hug giving me a little nuggy.

"Don't mess up my hair man," I complain stroking my hand through it in order to fix it.

"I think we should get Sebastian's opinion on this too, he's the boyfriend and maybe even the future baby daddy," Roman says.

"Actually, yeah Sebastian I would love to hear what you have to say," I tease. He laughs awkwardly as he scratches the back of his neck.

"I'll be honest, it does make me uncomfortable, but I understand what Aaron and Grayson said and agree with them. If you're confident in your body, you shouldn't let a man tell you otherwise. For you, I'll learn to be comfortable even when I'm uncomfortable."

"Awe, you're so cheesy! But aweee," I walk over to him and give him a kiss and he wraps his arms around me for a hug. "This is why you're my boyfriend."

"Well, I don't care what anyone says if you post that and someone says something, I'm pulling up," Roman says.

"Oh yeah, me too," Aaron says.

"I'd be the first one there," Grayson says.

"Right behind you," Landon adds.

"Yeah, don't forget me," Sebastian speaks.

"Okay there, we get it. I'm all your favourite," I smile sheepishly.

"Group hug!" Roman yells.

"Oh no!" I take a deep breath and hold it as they all squish me in between them.

"Reese, you can breathe."

"No, ya'll stink," I speak nasally.

"That's Landon," Jaxon speaks.

"Jaxon?" Everyone splits up and looks at him. I finally start to breathe again.

"Hi guys," he smiles.

"When did you get here?" I ask knowing he had class today.

"Like a few seconds ago. Thought I'd join the group hug too even though I have no idea what's going on," he laughs.

"Oh, don't worry, we'll let you in on the details at dinner," Roman says.

"Okay, good. I'mma go change," Jaxon says.

"We should go and clean up too," Grayson says on behalf of Aaron and him.

"Okay you guys enjoy, my parents are actually expecting me home for dinner for once," Sebastian laughs. "So, I should go."

"See you tomorrow," Roman says fist-bumping him. The rest of my brothers say goodbye to him and I walk him to the door after.

"I'd like to take you out on a date soon, Reese," Sebastian speaks.

"Okay," I reply.

"No, I'm serious."

"And so am I?..."

"Okay, well let me plan something for this Saturday evening?"

"That works for me. Philip's family is having a party thing this Friday so you'll be there right?"

"Yeah, my parents will be too."

"Oh, I didn't even think about that. Fuck."

"Don't be scared, they'll love you."

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah, I'm very sure," he says kissing me.

"You know next time you shake your ass I'd prefer for it to be in a locked bedroom and just the two of us," he whispers into my ear. Goosebumps rise all over my body and the hair on the back of neck stand on their ends. I gulp as my mouth becomes dry.

His amber eyes twinkle mischievously as he smirks at my reaction.

"I charge by the hour," I wink in response. I don't wait to see his reaction, instead, I close the door and walk back to the kitchen.

The number of dirty things this man makes me think about doing to him... damn.

I need Jesus.
