"Oh dear, that's terrible." She whines, "That must've been hard."
"Yeah, it was," I agree.
"Can you stop with the grilling the boyfriend act?" Hanna begs, obviously embarrassed.
"What's wrong, bunny? We just want to get to know the guy. You know, since your sharing a bed and all."
"Adam," Mr. Mason growls, "Stop."
"Bunny?" I ask, wondering about the nickname.
Adam's face shifts into a wicked grin and Hanna stands defensively, "Adam, don't you dare."
Adam scoffs, turning to face me, "When Hanna was in middle school–"
"Adam! I will ruin you," Hanna snarls, pushing her words out between clenched teeth, "this is your last chance to stop."
Adam's girlfriend, Annabeth, sits unfazed, eyeing Hanna. A smirk toying with her mouth.
"We told Hanna she could come to one of our high school parties. She was thrilled, and we decided to play a game of Truth or Dare. Everything was great until it was Hanna's turn. She wanted to prove to everyone she was a badass, so she picked dare."
Annabeth chimes in, "The way we play, there are two dares, and you have to pick one of them."
"They totally humiliated me!" Hanna squeals.
"No, we would've done it to anyone." Adam insists, continuing the story, "Her dare was to see how many marshmallows she could fit into her mouth and still say chubby bunny."
Annabeth giggles, "She fit way more than we thought she could."
"What was the other dare?" I ask, not sure if I want to know.
Hanna speaks up, "It was to jump in the pool naked."
I eye her brother, "You wanted your little sister to jump naked into the pool in front of all your friends?"
He shrugs, "We knew she wouldn't do it. We honestly didn't think she'd do either one. We thought she'd go home and leave us alone. She proved us all wrong, right, bunny?"
It's like a beast unleashes in Hanna. She jumps from her chair, leaning over the table, "You knew how insecure I was about my weight, you asshole."
Adam scoffs, holding his hands up in surrender, "it's over now, bunny."
"Like hell it is, I told you to shut the fuck up."
"Hanna!" Mrs. Mason chimes in, "language."
"Let's tell Annabeth all about how I caught you naked in the backseat of your jeep with Abigail Marlow."
Annabeth stands up, the shock taking over her face. She storms away, Adam shoots Hanna a look that could kill.
Mrs. Mason speaks up, "Hanna, was that really necessary?"
"Yeah, mom. It was. Annabeth is a snake. I hate who she turned Adam into. He used to be so different."
"Honey, you should go apologize to them."
"Yeah, because it would be awful for them to apologize to me, wouldn't it? It will always be all about Adam!" She yells, throwing her napkin directly in the center of her plate.
She takes off toward the front door, and I stand quickly from my chair, trying to excuse myself.
