Katie

At around seven in the morning, Lanyon’s mom comes into his room, where we’re all eating Cheetos and still playing Goldeneye. We’ve moved on to paintball mode, though, and I use Lanyon’s distraction at his mom’s presence to turn the back of his head a nice shade of cyan.

“Um,” she says and looks at me and George. George waits for the slow moving temple door to open and I blow a huge wad of orange across his melon.

“Suck it,” I tell him.

“Lanyon, can I see you for a second?” his mom asks.

Lanyon follows her out into the hallway and, of course, George and I find his spawning body and cover him with paint. Then, George pauses the game and we listen. Lanyon’s mom is speaking low, but I make out the words gallivanting, job, and adult.

He comes back in, looking pretty sheepish. “I need to bring you guys home,” he says. “And I’m grounded.”

George coughs on his Cheetos. “Grounded? She does realize you’re old enough to go out drinking all night, right?”

“She does.”

“And she knows you have never actually gone out drinking all night?” George continues.

“Everyone knows that. Thank you for reminding me of my amazing patheticness.”

“Well, if you get ungrounded,” I tell him, “let us know. We could use your sleuthing skills.”

“For?” he asks.

“Is your brain broken?” I ask. “Murder mystery night.”

“Oh, yeah. Right. Our three-way.”

“What?” George asks, coughing out a small burst of fluorescent orange cheese.

“You and Katie, her friends, and me and my large-breasted date. Our three-way.”

“You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means,” I say.

George groans and throws away the Cheetos bag. “Sadly, I think he does know what it means.”

Lanyon shrugs and smiles. “A guy can hope.”

“A guy can also remain a virgin into perpetuity,” I advise.
