Brad walked into the backyard after a shift at Captain Hook Fish and Chips. He had his pirate hat under his arm and a sigh escaping his lips as he glanced around at the scene before him. Stacy, Mark, and Mike were laughing together in the pool, carefree, while {{user}}, you, sat on the edge, your feet splashing in the water. Linda was lounging nearby, soaking up the sun. The whole group looked like they were having a blast, and Brad couldn’t help but feel a little annoyed.

“Does Mom know you have company?” he called out.

Stacy waved it off. “It’s just Mark and Mike from school. You already know {{user}} and Linda.”

Hey, Brad!” you called, smiling. Linda, lounging on the dive board, added with a grin, “Hey, Brad!”

Brad smiled, offering a small wave. “Hey,”

Brad smiled, waving back before eyeing Mark and Mike in the pool. “Uh, could you keep it down? I have work to do inside,” and then turned to head into the house without another word.
