This World

"Yeah, I don't care what they think. They'd have disinherited me if my older brother didn't turn out the same way," Orion stated, kissing Zach on the cheek. He had been doing more of that lately. He scowled at Jacob. He grinned at her.

"Jacob, if you know what's good for you, you'll give that camera here," he told him menacingly.

Jacob

"Dude, I've been friends with Zach for years, and now that Sayo's Aunt has moved into town... I'm used to being threatened by actually threatening people. You wont be scaring anyone 'specially me." Jacob stated as he put his phone away in his back pocket.

Zach smiled back at Orion, laughing at Jacob's comment.

"Yeah. He's only imtimiated by girls."

Amy started to laugh at that. Jillian tried not to. He tried hard not to give Jacob any more reason not to like him.

((So, anyone mind if Jennifer comes over to pick them up now?))

(I don't mind.)

"Why you...." Orion started before grinning and tackling Jacob to the ground. He gripped the other boy's arms, "Give me that phone."

(Neither do I)

Jennifer, Sayo

The flash of another phone camera went off. Sayo turned to the sudden light to see Aunt Jennifer not too far away from the fighting Orion and Jacob, chuckling quietly.

"Well, thanks for the memorable picture, you two. Now, come on kiddos! Time for the big dinner my sister and brother-in-law are hosting."

Jacob

Jacob kicked Orion after the boy had jumped on him. It probably didn't do much to his friend, but there was now a smear of mud all over the front of his jacket.
And then Jennifer came over.

"Yeah, fine." Jacob replied as he stood up, not caring that the back of his shirt was muddy that much. But then he looked at Orion... "Man, your Mom is going to flip." Jacob stated, knowing from past experiences with Orion's mother and messes.

"Yeah, I know," Orion said, looking at his jacket, caught between amusement and horror. His mom could be scary sometimes, but it was always fun to get her and his dad mad. He smirked.

"Well, we should get going," he said, getting into the car.

Zach nodded but then her cell went off. She checked it, groaned and answered.

"Hello? Yes I'm fine. Yeah we're about to go there now. Hm? Oh, ok. Yeah that's...that's wonderful mom. Yeah see you there. Bye and love you too."

She flipped her phone closed, glaring at it as if the phone call was it's fault.

"Guess what?! My parents are coming after all and so is my sister. This just made my night," she said through clenched teeth. She got in the car though.

Amy and Jillian stood outside the car and exchanged a look. There was no more seats left.

Jennifer, Sayo

"Hm, not too much of a problem." Jennifer stated after seeing there were no seats for Amy and Jillian.

"Well, Amy, you can sit in Sayo or Zach's lap. Whichever you're more comfortable with. And you, Jillian, have the choice between choosing Orion and Jacob. Have fun!" Jennifer said with a small laugh. She turned to Jacob to see how he'd react to that.

"Jennifer why don't you buy a bigger car," Zach asked as Amy slid into Sayo's lap. She was getting less self conscious about things like this, but she still felt a little jittery about it.

Jillian raised an eyebrow looking from both boys. Yes this was just what he needed. An excuse for Jacob to go off about him.

Jacob

Jacob glared at Jillian, acting as though this was something the boy had planned himself. So Jacob grabbed Jennifer's drink beside him and put it in his lap. "Get in the back."

"I could walk. Or not go," Jillian suggested, offended by Jacob's reaction. He was going to suggest he could sit on Zach's lap since they were friends, but now he felt like he wasn't wanted here.

Jennifer, Sayo

"Now now, Jacob." Jennifer grabbed her drink from Jacob's lap and gave him a sweet smile. "You'll have to learn to forgive and forget what happened when you two first met sooner or later. Besides, it'll only take ten or so minutes to get back to my sister's house. It shouldn't be that long of a ride. And in an answer to your question, Zach, I can't afford a bigger car right now."

Sayo blushed a little as Amy got into his lap, but otherwise he appeared perfectly 'ok'. He wasn't as nervous about things like this now as he would have been several months ago, but it was still a little embarrassing.

"So in other words get your *** in this car Jill," Zach said, nodding to the front. Jillian shook his head no. Zach exited the car and moved towards him.

"Zach what are you doing?" Zach grabbed him, opened the front door and practicely threw him on Jacob's lap. She then slammed it shut and returned to her seat.

"Ok Jennifer you can go."

Jacob

Jacob looked at Jennifer after she had taken the drink away from him. "Wait, how did you find out about-oof!" Jacob tried to ask before Jill was suddenly thrown onto his lap, causing Jacob to grunt loudly. "****."

Jillian sat up straight, but he was finding it hard to breath. Never before had he been in an awkward situation. Especially considering the fact that Jacob did not like him. He made a reminder to get Zach back for this.

Jennifer

Jennifer took off once Jillian and Zach had gotten into the car. Like she said, it took no more than ten minutes to arrive at Sayo's house. She parked on the curb, since the driveway was full, and unlocked the doors.

"Here we are!" Jennifer declared brightly.

Jillian scrambled out of the car, glad to be at the house. Zach chuckled as she stepped out. Amy slid off Sayo's lap and exited the car.

Jacob

After they arrived in front of Sayo's house, Jacob quickly opened the car door and shoved Jillian out before taking the seatbelt off of himself. "Finally." Jacob stated as he jumped out of the car.

Sayo, Jennifer

Sayo exited the car once Amy got out, and Jennifer got out once all the kids were heading towards the front door.

"Well, this should be an interesting evening..." Sayo commented as he walked in. Considering nearly all of their parents would be here, and how many of their personalities might clash, well...who knows? Maybe a show would follow dinner. Of course, Sayo hoped it wouldn't involve his parents...

"You know," Orion told Zach as he stepped out of the car, grinning at how his clothes were wrinkled now, "When you got out of the car, you could have went ahead and sat on my lap. I wouldn't have minded."

He wrinkled his eyebrows at her suggestively.

Zach pushed her boyfriend playfully.

"Maybe some other time then," she said before a woman stalked over to her.

"Zach! What are you wearing? This is not some rave or party."

"Gee mom, I thought it was," Zach said through clenched teeth. She just got here and she was already being lectured. "My bad."

'Young lady I do not appreciate that tone towards me." With a scoff she walked off. Zach sighed in relief. At least it was short.

"Well, your daughter always dressed trashy," Orion's mother started before grimacing at the state of Orion's clothes, "Orion! What happened?!!"

"Well, you know, me and Sayo were playing in the mud again," Orion told her with a grin, "It does get us both a little dirty."

"That was an expensive suit and it didn't last a day!" she told him with a frown, "I honestly wish your friends hadn't influenced you so much."

"Yeah, Mom, it was my friends' fault," Orion noted sarcastically.
