"Who's party is this anyway?" I asked as Mario drove to our destination. "It's Raven Morrison's." Mario answered. "Ryan's little sister?" I asked. "Yeah, I think she might be there too though." He nodded.
"You didn't mention that on purpose!" I smirked impressed at his trick. "You wouldn't have came!" He shrugged with a mischievous smile. "Because I have a girlfriend dude!"'I shook my head. "So what? You don't even have to talk to her just enjoy the party!" He chuckled. "Easier said than done." I remarked sitting back in my seat.
"And I call shotgun on the way back! This is my car and I've been kicked to the backseat." I said. "If you make it to the car on your own two feet, you can do whatever you want." Mario laughed. "Whatever bro." Skylar shook her head.

"Is it not hot in here?" Skylar drunkenly slung her arm around Mario's neck. Laughing loudly Mario shook his head. "No sis it's just you!" He said over the music.
Skylar pulled her shirt over her head wiping some of the sweat from her stomach on her shirt. She discarded the shirt behind her as she smiled.
"Come on I heard there's a hoop outside. Loser has to take shots!" She tugged on her younger brother. He nodded following her, dragging Khalil with him. Grabbing a ball Skylar shot at the hoop warming up. Her coordination off because of her drunken state.
"Come on Sky, I know you can do better than that." Khalil rebounded the ball. "Check. To 21." He passed her the ball back. "Easy money! Mar be sure to get this!" Skylar laughed sinking a three in front on Khalil's face. "Bro, you know you can't keep up with her!" Mario laughed as Khalil checked the ball again.
"Get the shots ready Mar!" Skylar laughed sinking yet another three pointer. "Five more of these and you're taking shots K." Skylar laughed. "Here I'll let you get a chance." Skylar handed him the ball and switching positions. Shooting as she stood Khalil's shit bounced off the rim emitting laughter from Mario.
"Yo! That shit clanked the rim!" Mario laughed loudly. "Shut it Mario! I'm just drunk!" Khalil slurred his words. Notably Khalil has drunken more than both of them, already drinking before he was picked up. "Yeah whatever." Mario laughed. "How about you finish it!" Khalil slurred.
Mario shrugged. "Get the shots then." Mario hopped down from the balcony. Handing him his phone Mario checked Skylar.
"You do know you're better with your feet right Mar?" Skylar smirked grabbing the ball just as others started making their way outside. Ignoring the chatter she checked Mario. "Yeah right, I can still hoop." He played defense on her but Skylar just launched another three pointer. Sinking it easily as the ball made its way back to them. "That's nine." She smirked.
Mario shed his shirt also. The cold air hitting both of them but the buzz of alcohol through their veins made it bearable. "Let's go." Mario passed the ball back to her.
This time instead of shooting, Skylar pump faked and headed towards the basket. Sinking the reverse layup as Mario tried to block her shot. "Eleven little brother." She smiled.
As the siblings still played many of the party goers had made their way outside. Watching them play despite the cold weather. Khalil held the shots in his hand as he cheered both of them on.
"Skylar do the new move!" Khalil yelled. The score was 20 to 18 and Skylar just needed to score one more to win the game. She noticed a lot of people had their phones out recording them. She didn't mind though she's not as drunk as she used to get.
"This has been a good game little brother." I smirked. "But now it's about to end."
He checked the ball and immediately played tight defense. I bounced the ball steadily as he tried to steal it. I crossed over not once but two times to get space between us.
Crossing it one more time I burst to the rim gaining speed as I got closer. Launching into the air I threw the ball down into the hoop grabbing the rim so I could stabilize myself before dropping down.
The crowd shocked as I landed on my feet. I tapped Mario on the shoulder. "I'll take the shot with you." I smiled as the crowd started cheering.
"Dude I didn't know you could do that!" Mario jumped on my shoulders in excitement. "Me and K have been working on it for months! I was gonna do it when I got back but why not? We're having fun." I smiled. Making our way to Khalil we both downed the shots gaining cheers once again.
Surely this would be all over the internet by tomorrow.
"Wanna jet? I'm kind of hungry." I asked both of them. "Yeah, I think I'm cool to drive." Khalil nodded. "Waffle House?" Skylar rose her eyebrow in question. "Hell yeah!" Mario agreed.
Making their way to the front door Skylar felt her hand being grabbed. Her senses being hyper aware she turned quickly pinning whoever it was to the wall.
"Skylar it's me!" Ryan squealed. "My bad." She let go quickly.
"Don't sneak up on me! You know that!" She let go of the girl and standing back. "I see you haven't changed." She smirked running her finger down her bicep. "Yeah." Skylar took a step back putting space between them.
She realized that Khalil and Mario has continued to the car effectively leaving them alone. "So why haven't you texted or called? We're only a few states away." She asked. "Because I have a girlfriend." Skylar quipped. "I didn't just stop hitting you up it was everyone so don't feel too bad."
"A girlfriend?" She rose her eyebrow. "You're kidding right?" She laughed coldly. "I'm serious." Skylar's tone cut through the loud music in their background. "I remember clearly that you didn't want a girlfriend because you would just cheat on me. Now all of a sudden that changed?" She asked. "Pretty much, she's worth it." Skylar nodded.
"And I wasn't?" Ryan asked. Skylar rolled her eyes as she knew this was quickly getting out of hand. "What we did together is the past. Nothing more. I have to go so I'll see you around." Skylar further separated herself heading for the door.
"You'll regret this!" Ryan said. "I doubt it!" She responded exiting the house.
