Connor sat in his room, absent-mindedly scrolling through his Instagram feed. He was bored. 'Numb' was playing in his earphones. It was a quiet Sunday night. Tomorrow was school. "F**k this," he muttered. He walked over to his bookshelf. He took a book and looked at it. It was a book Evan'd recommended. He did admit to himself, he was jealous his friend was dating his sister. He took the book over to his bed and opened it. "This book... hm. It's interesting," he said to himself. He placed the book into the shelf. When he returned to his phone he saw that a message had been sent to the group 'Sincerely Three'. It was from Evan.

Hey, Con, Jar, how are you?

Still gay and single.

Connor smiled at his own reply. He could imagine Evan's face.

Very funny, Connie.

Guys, it's 1 am.

So?

Does little Jared need sleep?

No! 😡

Then why did you say that?

It doesn't matter.

He was probably wanting to sleep because he can't stop thinking about Alana.

Ah, right.

I hate both of you so much right now.

Connor let out a small laugh at him and Evan teasing Jared. The normally suave Jared, brought down by a girl. Alana, even. The smartest girl in their class.

Besides that, did you guys hear about the new kids coming tomorrow?

All I know... is that there's a lot.

Hey, Con, maybe you'll now get a bf!

Jared.

What?

Jared. Stop f**king with me.

Oh, you brought out the f-word, huh? It might happen.

I know it might. But I don't think it'd happen immediately. No one can tell the future. That only happens in movies.

That makes sense.

We'll have to see.

Kinky.

J A R E D.

What?

It's late I'm going to bed.

Bye Ev.

Bye.

Connor rolled his eyes at Jared's comments. He knew how the boy thought. He should probably also get to bed, he thought. He put his phone down and changed. He got into bed and closed his eyes.
