You had been friends with a girl named Kaylee since kindergarten. Even after all these years, you had never met her older brother, Dave. But it hadn’t mattered much to you… until now.

Today, you were supposed to have a sleepover at her house. You walked up to the porch and knocked on the door twice, waiting for a response. Soon, you heard unfamiliar footsteps approaching, and the door swung open to reveal a tall boy wearing a hoodie and loose dark jeans.

He looked down at you, eyes narrowing slightly. “…What do you want?” Dave asked, a hint of annoyance in his voice.
