“Stay away from those frat parties,” my dad goes on, still looking at Luna. “Nothing but trouble lies there. Your brother should be looking out for you, anyhow.”
Brother.
For pity’s sake, I wish he’d stop using that term.
I only called her sis to get under her skin, not because we’ve ever been like a real brother or sister. I just like to see her squirm. Don’t get me wrong, she’s given me enough lip over the years to warrant my teasing. But this is just too good to pass up.
“Yeah, definitely avoid those frat parties,” I sing-song.
Her eyes flick up again and there it is. The guilt on her face, as well as her cheeks turning beet red.
I fucking knew it. Why else would she be acting like this? She’s usually throwing insults back at me behind closed doors and acting like the perfect daughter in front of her mom and my dad. So I know something’s up.
She opens her mouth to say something, but then swiftly closes it again.
My eyebrow quirks as I smirk.
Didn’t think so.
We help clear the table, and while Luna’s loading the dishwasher, I confront her.
“Why were you there?”
She freezes, her back to me. “What?”
“Don’t play coy with me, Lu. I know it was you.”
She straightens her back and continues to load the dishes. “You’re talking gibberish, T. Time to lay off the dope and booze. It’s messing with your head.”
And there she is. I was wondering when her fiery side was going to finally show itself.
I move closer. “I don’t think so.”
“Or maybe it’s those idiots you hang out with and all the video games you play. Haven’t you heard it numbs the brain?”
“You watched me, Lu, didn’t you?”
She fumbles with a plate and nearly drops it.
“My question is, why were you in there?”
She turns and finally looks at me. “I wasn’t.”
“Liar.”
“Stop harassing me, I’ll tell them…”
“Go ahead. And I’ll tell them my dirty little liar of a sister was in the closet with some fuckin’ guy, watching me get off. I’m sure it’d go down a treat.”
“You’re an asshole. And I wasn’t with a guy.”
I narrow my eyes. “No?”
She shakes her head. “I was leaving the bathroom… I heard voices…”
I stare at her, my heart thumping in my chest. “So you…just stayed there?”
“I… I didn’t want to get sprung,” she whisper-shouts, closing the door to the kitchen so our parents can’t hear. “I wasn’t supposed to be up there.”
