indentof course, the young woman responded back genially to everyone's greetings. she hasn't seen most of them in a hot minute, as she was sure they have all been busy with their lives after high school like she was. but being around them reminded her of when she was back in school, not at college and living the ordinary life of a teenager. well, as ordinary as wealth can make one's existence. she knew she was incredibly blessed to be born in a well-off family, even if she was not particularly close with her parents. she noticed out of the corner of her eye that daisy and faline headed up the stairs with their luggage, most likely to set it down somewhere in one of the rooms. she had an urge to follow them up the stairs and playfully bother them. she'd probably have to go up there soon to put away her stuff but she didn't want to leave when everyone has yet to arrive. she wanted to greet everyone or at-least see everyone's faces before she went zooming up the stairs. her attention turned to ivory again, another smile now growing onto her lips at her greeting. she could tell ivory has undergone some changes, such as dying and growing out her hair. it looked good on her. she was a very pretty girl, in general so no matter what look she went for, she would look lovely. amira noticed the cigarette she pulled out of her pocket but she did not comment on it. amira did not smoke herself and it wasn't her place to scold ivory or anyone else for doing so. she was a grown adult, she could do what she pleases. she glanced around the foyer at her question. "it surely hasn't. and of course we haven't." she didn't think she's lost anyone. sure, they might not have kept up as recently but they were all still friends, even if they were older now... right? she hoped everyone at-least thought the same. "i'm glad to hear about your business! i always remembered you being artistic. i go to university myself and play tennis for the team there, i haven't been up to much," she laughed. she was glad ivory had started a business, it seemed like a good step for her to take. amira still lived with her family - unfortunately. the university she attended was not far from her family's home and her mother didn't want her to live on her own, despite the fact amira was more than capable of doing so.
indentshe looked up when leo came down the stairs, announcing the arrival of yet another one of their friends. at that moment, the door swung open behind her and ivory, causing amira to jump slightly when she heard a loud squeal. it was lena, another one of their friends. she laughed softly when the other woman had to lower her things onto the ground as not to drop all of them in the heat of her enthusiasm. "oh, look who it is!" she said with a grin, helping move some of lena's luggage away from the door a little bit so nobody would accidentally wander into the foyer and trip over everything. "how are you doing, darling?" she asked lena. for years amira has been calling others nicknames such as darling, dear, sweetheart, etc. without even really realizing it. anytime one tries to correct her she'd usually forget and end up saying it again sometime down the road. it was just something that has become ingrained in her, and something others come to accept. it came her with her unofficial title as a 'mom friend'. she was often rather impulsive and daring herself but when it came to the safety of her friends, she tended to be concerned if it involved danger or bodily injury. going down to the beach to throw hands with a great white shark or going ninety miles down a neighborhood road wasn't exactly something she would approve of. she just tended to worry about situations out of her control.

Not long after people started filing into my house like a herd of sheep, Amira rolled up and was dropped by her driver. She hadn't even made it to the porch yet when I cupped my hands around my mouth and really obnoxiously called her name. As she comes in she makes a remark about always being able to find me in crowded places because of how loud I am. Well, if being a walking tree won't do it then surely my voice will.
"I'm just that unforgettable, baby," I respond with a wink. Daisy comes over and gives me a hug as she agrees with Amira, causing me to squeeze the little lady back a little too tightly. ""My pleasure, girl," I let her go as she quickly claims her room and Liam jokes up about me cooking. I give him a playful scoff and roll my eyes at him.
"man you do not want to see me cook, I bill burn this gotdamn house down. I do make a mean bowl of cereal, though," I laugh, turning my ear to Ivory as she adds onto what Liam said.
"Look if y'all really want me too, I will. Don't say I ain't warn you, though," I insist, wrapping my long-ass arm around Ivory's shoulders and giving her a light squeeze as she compliments my house.
"Aww shawty, you flatter me," I chuckle, releasing her. My hazel eyes notice as Bambi finally makes her way through the small crowd gathered in my foyer, having to bend down as she gave me a fat kiss on my cheek, forcing a grin onto my face. "Hi mamas, the pleasures' all mine," I respond with a hint of mock flirtation in my voice. "You better not be working all summer or I will throw your laptop into the pool," I joke, raising my eyebrows and pointing my finger at the blonde girl.
Just then, Lena waltzes her curly-headed self into my house and announces her presence with a cheerful greeting to all of us.
"Elenaaaa!" I yell back, wiggling between the people to grab her bags and pull them out of the way. As I do this, Leo's voice bringing up the arrival of Hani causes me to look out the open front door and see the boy all decked out in red from head to toe. Still crouched with Lena's bags in hand, I poke my head out the door and flash him a welcoming smile.
"Hurry up, fool! I missed yo stupid ass!" I yell out the door. I then stand up tall again and turn to Leo.
trust me, y'all will thank me for not cooking," I respond with a light smile. I move out of everybody's way and hop onto the first step heading upstairs, yelling into the void once again.
"Take y'all [removed] up these stairs before I throw it in firepit! I will order some, what, is Chinese good for you guys?" I ask to nobody in particular, just to get their opinions before ordering anything.

"how fun college was the best get away in my opinion," she said with a chuckle. even if the girl still lived with her parents it was still nice to finally be away from the people you lived with and be able to say you were an adult and you could make your own decisions. although rather soon the girl had found someone else and she watched as kamden made his way over his tall figure lurking above her.
she gave kamden a playful but almost sinister look as he put his arm around him just to be annoying. soon though before she even could be snarky and joke about how he was in love with her he was on to a new prize. it wasn't that surprising. kamden was the over type of outgoing you see once every bluemoon. the guy who holds parties but knows how to keep the crowd into his attention. she'd admired him for that. but as soon as he yelled to get stuff away she obliged simply cause she wasn't holding a conversation with anyone in that moment. she looked to where he'd placed her bags inside and she grabbed them bringing them up the stairs and finding an empty room. she'd never minded sharing a room. when she was getting on her feet trying to find a place she enjoyed in los angeles she'd lived with a friend of hers. she liked the company of others as long as they weren't pests. and she wasn't sure if everyone was trying to make makeshift beds. but then again she also had no idea if anyone was in love or hooked up. she hadn't checked to see if a relationship was a buzz she was almost positive. the group was so many people, attractive was a factor amongst them all, surely at some point someone had developed a crush.
she looked around the room, big, open, gorgeous, as she expected. she'd never spent so much time in the rooms as much as the house. but then she began to think, an enemy of hers. she'd never really fallen in love or done much of anything with anyone despite everyone's beliefs and if she did she'd always regretted it the next day. she didn't really know how to develop closely with anyone but her siblings. so she supposed that was her weakness. she could get close as friends but she'd never gone farther. she sat on the bed and just as she was about to calm her nerves with a cigarette her phone beeped heavily signaling someone was calling her. she answered without checking the number. she soon heard from the voices it was her brother. "mom and dad are having some fancy pantsy dinner, they invited a bunch of people, aren't you coming it's tomorrow? and if your still in LA that's going to be hard to book a flight to there new place especially at this hour." she loved him but he was so clueless on how much her parents dreaded seeing her. she never knew why. she was a teenager at the time. she had apologized since then for her behavior and acting out even if she didn't mean it her parents still ignored every attempt. they just paid her to stay away. she hated it like this but she'd given in to it. "don't you get it bro, i'm not going to be there they didn't invite me, i'm with some old friends, i'm going to have fun they don't want me there i'm the daughter that rebelled as a kid, i'm the daughter that takes their money for some dumb reason but has made a life they disapprove of, i have made a small business that will never make millions, i've continued to invest in my art and drawing that they always hated, they don't want me there," she said lightening it up with a chuckle. she could tell he was speechless. no matter how many times big bro had been on her side they always adored him more for pursuing his dreams at some high-class law firm. "sorry for calling ivy, i'll talk to you later I have to go your sisters are here and i haven't seen them in forever," the call ended with people loudly yelling and screaming around. she chuckled annoyed and sat going through her phone looking at some old pictures reminding herself of the disaster of a family. she was incredibly close to her nannies who'd taken care of her. she considered them moms and they knew that and still kept in contact with her. but some people in her life would never change.

The back and forth banter directed at Kamden made her laugh again. He was an easy target and took it in stride which probably made him everyone’s favorite. That and letting everyone crash there for the summer may have helped that favorite status climb to the top. When the conversation shifted toward eating she had to think back to breakfast before her car ride over. Even with eating a light breakfast, she wasn’t feeling terribly hungry in her state of amusement and peace being here around everyone. If she did get hungry later there was sure to be leftovers and snacks galore. She waved at the newcomers with a glow in her face. Seeing everyone back together got her excited to get to starting on some partying. Even if lowkey, she needed some music or games to fill the need for further mental stimulation.

She gave Bambi a quick hug and watched her leave to find a room. She wished she would stay longer and hang out in the group. It was bizarre to her how some people prefer a bit of alone time. She turned toward Lena as she entered and gave another warm smile. She was so put together, Daisy was definitely ready to help her friend let loose and chill out, forget about real life for a little bit. ”Welcome, Kamden is loud, there is no food, what’s new,” she quickly informed and laughed before walking to her friend for a quick hug. ”I’m ready for a real party to start though,” she said then turned back to face the majority of her friend group.

Everyone’s smiles warmed her heart, so thankful they had all accepted to meet back up. She wasn’t sure how her summer would have done without everyone, but it would have been a hell of a lot more boring and business as usual. The announcement of Hani’s arrival was just as exciting as the other’s, but Leo’s announcement led her to shout ”Hani!” back in response to welcome him further. Their reunion seemed like second nature to everyone, it was the greatest.

She had hoped Julian would be there by now. She had a bit of a crush on him since they last met up in person, but hadn’t tried to keep the spark alive. It just was so different online. With all of her social platforms, she was used to talking to tons of people, replying to comments and dms, it was hard to keep track of the remains of a summertime love life.

Iris wasn't often the type to show up late, but it seemed today was a rare exception. She'd shot Kamden a text much earlier saying she'd be late- there was unattended business at home with her parents she had to tend to before she left for a while- but she still felt a twinge of FOMO in her heart when she thought about everyone arriving and being able to hug and meet up again. Sitting behind the wheel of her beloved ruby red BMW convertible, she bit the inside of her cheek as jealousy surged through her veins. God, it sucked that she wasn't with her friends right now.

But soon she would be. As her iPhone announced that her destination was approaching, the jealousy quickly turned into warmth; happiness bloomed throughout her whole body as she pulled up to the mansion, bringing her car to a halt alongside the others' vehicles. She recognized several: Leo's Tesla, Bambi's Rolls Royce, and of course, Kamden's totally bougie BMW. Her convertible almost paled compared to the rest of these fancy cars, but it fit her to a tee. Hell, it even matched her trademark ruby lipstick that she adorned today. The rest of her outfit was a pair of ripped jeans that exposed almost all of one leg from the knee to her upper thigh, an off-the-shoulder red ruched top, and a pair of red kitten heels; the heels were her pride and joy, even though she'd found them on Depop for a low price. Some may scowl at secondhand shoes, but to Iris, any pair of expensive-looking vintage shoes she could add to her collection was a pair she wanted.

After parking, she moved her dark shades to rest atop her wavy brown locks and reached for her bags in the back. Iris was a notable overpacker, but she'd managed to lessen her load a couple suitcases, thank goodness. She began walking up to the mansion's front door, splayed wide open to the group that stood just inside of it. Her heart skipped a beat, red lips twisting up into somewhat of a mischievous smirk. This would be a lot of fun.

Ironically, the first one to greet her at the door were the two sweethearts Reaper and Casino. "Hello, sweet peas," she cooed to the two dobermans, making sure to give each a scratch under their chins and a kiss on the forehead. The twins trotted away contently with one red lipstick mark on each of their foreheads- hopefully Kam wouldn't mind. Next, Iris set down the suitcases in her hands and moved to her beloved long-time bestie, Lena, wrapping her in a huge hug.

"My dear, how I've missed you," Iris said, smiling cheek to cheek. Then, she quickly acknowledged their host, the life of the party.

She hugged Kam a little more sweetly, knowing her bear hugs were reserved for her favorite gal pals, but surely Kam knew that she still appreciated the hell out of him. "My favorite big guy, how are you doing?" she asked, pressing a friendly kiss to his cheek, much like the other ladies had as well. "Sorry for leaving kiss marks on your pups. They are just too cute. It's great to see you again. Also- did I hear Chinese food when I was walking in? Because I'm all in for that."

The blonde boy didn't even bother to send a text to the group as his chauffeur pulled into the driveway. They probably expected this from him anyhow. It wouldn't have been Andreas if he didn't arrive way past when everyone else did, even if it was not of his volition. Or, well, technically it was, but that's beside the point. He threw open the passenger door, eyeing the estate with a grin. His stride resembled something more like a model walking down a runway than an average person and threw the front door open with just as much energy, accidentally slamming Lena and Iris with in the process. "Oh, sorry!" He exclaimed sheepishly them with genuine concern in his grey-blue eyes until he saw they were fine. He likely would not have preferred that as his entrance, but it was too late now. He gingerly touched both of them on the shoulder as a symbol of apology before turning to address the rest of the group.
"I am so sorry I'm late! I forgot where my phone was, then I found it on my bed, then I lost the keys, but they were on the hook by the door! And then I forgot where I put my laptop. I remembered it was in my bags though! Then I left! But I'm here now!" He explained, his small anecdote accompanied by an abundance of hand motions. "How are you all doing, my lasses and lads?"As quickly as he was addressing the group he turned his head towards where Kamden was, eyes brightening and growing big. "Kamden!" He screeched, throwing his arms up in the air. "My manz!" It was playful but just as loud as those who had known him all this time probably anticipated.

Liam

He decides to make a smooth retreat to his room to drop off his luggage as the rest of the group starts pouring in. Liam wiggles through the group before making his way up the staircase. Unlike the others, he made an effort to go a few rooms down from everyone else's. He takes a quick glance into the rooms as walks, already taking note of who settled into where. Stopping at the fifth or sixth room, he steps inside and closes the door before setting his feline companion down.

Liam walks around the room, admiring all the work put into it. He stops to look out the window, looking over the boujee *ss Hamptons. He begins to unback Becky's portable litterbox, as well as a little tupperware filled with some of her food. Becky lets out a soft meow in thanks before sitting and chowing down on her favorite cat kibble. He sets his luggage beside the bed to unpack later on. "Love you, kitten." he says as he bends down to gentle pet her on the head. After receiving a happy purr in response he decides to give her some alone time, quietly closing the door behind him on his way out.

Making his way back down to the foyer, he calls over to Kamden as his hand glides down the staircase railing. "Hey, so what do we have planned for tonight? moving night? the club? heart to heart conversations?" Rejoining the group, he notices a few faces that hadn't been there a few minutes ago. To them, he gives a sheepish smile and slight nod of acknowledgement. In honesty, women were a little intimidating to him, with all the hugging and affectionate hellos. Probably a mommy issue thing, which at the thought made him almost laugh inside. Realizing how much socializing was going to be going on this next month, he wondered if Kamden had one of those Kurigs back in the kitchen. Man, he could use some coffee right about now. "And hey, you have any instant coffee or something in the kitchen? Maybe a coffee shop nearby? Its been awhile."

"hanis arrived!" echoed in the boys ears. loud. regardless, hani cracked a little smile at leos voice. he drug his suitcase up the walkway and into the mansion, shoving the handle down into it once he was inside.
leaving it set next to him, he put his right hand in his back pocket and used his other hand to give a little wave.
"hey," hani chimed in casually. he wasnt one to talk over people and there sure were a lot of people talking right now. he looked down and licked his lips. 'should probably find a room,' he thought.
picking up the luggage, hani headed to the grand staircase, starting up it slowly. his head lifted as he watched the upstairs unfold before him. kam hadnt lied, the house was luxurious. better than home even.
he walked along the hall to the last suite with an open door and chose to enter.
inside was a master bed, a dresser fit for a king, a mini fridge, flatscreen tv- basically anything you could ask for. "leave it to kam to go all out," hani muttered as he lifted his suitcase onto the bed. he began to unpack, taking folded shirts and pants and putting them into the dresser. he even brought a pair of swim trunks just in case, though he wasnt very confident without a shirt.
finally, hani grabbed his red fleece blanket and aired it out over the bed. it didnt nearly cover the whole thing, but it was enough for him. smiling at his empty suitcase, the boy zipped it back up and tucked it away under the bed, then slipped out of the room and closed the door. he headed back down the stairs to the foyer where pretty much everyone was. hani couldnt help but notice how nice everyone was being to each other. 'that wont last,' he thought to himself with an inward chuckle. picking a corner to hang out in, he whipped out his phone and started tapping a text to his mother to let her know he made it alright.

Leo grinned brightly as Hani finally stepped inside the mansion, and greeted him with restrained excitement. "Hey! Glad you made it!" he said, then turned towards Kamden after Hani had left to go upstairs and find a room. "Chinese food sounds good to me. I love beef chow mein!" he agreed. He wasn't particularly hungry, but he guessed he would be by the time the food arrived. Besides, it would be easier than having someone cook - he would have thought most of them would be somewhat tired after travelling over to the mansion, and he definitely didn't want to risk Kamden cooking for them.

He turned when someone else stumbled through the door - to no surprise, it was Andreas. Leo raised an eyebrow at the excuse he gave. "No one is surprised." Leo said, lightly, and he laughed softly. It was, in his opinion, amazing that Andreas hadn't mentioned getting lost on the way over. "I have been doing very well, though. How have you been?" Leo added, before glancing around at the rest of the group. Those that were still in the foyer, anyway. He was just looking forward to spending the night doing whatever they ended up doing, regardless of if it involved going out to a club, or if they all stayed in and cracked open a few cold ones.

▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁

Being late ran in Julian's blood. It was as if his body was automatically wired to be at-least a half-hour later than everyone else when it came to just about anything. It was somewhat ironic, as his parents were always very punctual, as their jobs required them to be. Perhaps it was all of the alone time that Julian had growing up, and perhaps the influence of his cousins, that made him late to things. Sometimes he couldn't help it. He was an extremely heavy sleeper, and loved to sleep in. When he was in school, he would be late because he'd have such bad luck with encountering traffic or he'd forget something and have to drive back home to grab it. Honestly, it was a good thing that Kamden knew him so well, and knew of his late tendencies-- probably wouldn't stop him from making fun of him, though, when he walked through the doors.

This time of being late wasn't anything different. He had woken up late, having slept through his alarm (big surprise there). He then proceeded to take a quick cold shower so he could wake himself up. He had to practically drag himself off of his bed; he was deadbeat tired. Turns out it wasn't such a good idea to go for a run late at two in the morning, but hey, he couldn't sleep for some reason. Probably due to all of the candy that he had gorged on while having a The Godfather marathon last night. Who could help it, with a whole shelf in the pantry consisting of all kinds of sweets. Caramilk, Kit-Kits, sour keys, Hershey's, Sour Patch Kids-- you name it. One could say that his diet consisted of a whole bunch of junk food, but one could also argue that he knew how to eat healthy. It was just whether or not he was in the mood for it. If he ever did find himself eating healthy food, he would make it himself (he could do the same for not so healthy as well), as he really enjoyed cooking.

Currently, Julian was sitting in his car-- an atomic silver 2020 Lexus NX-- going a little over the speed limit whilst on the highway. It wasn't too long now until he'd reach the Hamptons. Kamden's family vacation home was one that he had visited many times in the past, and the route was as familiar as his own route back home. This was the first time in a while that he'd be seeing everyone all at-once, from his close friends to the ones he knew through his close friends. He'd seen his close friends a few times over the years, whether that was hanging out physically or video calls, but as for the rest of the folks that were to be staying for the summer as well, he hadn't hung out with them properly since the last time they all hung out as a group. He was little nervous, to be honest, but was mainly stoked for having the opportunity to spend time with his buddies. Even if he was a little iffy about a few of them, he was honestly more than happy to be with his friends, instead of a mainly empty house for the summer.

He had just graduated from NYU in late May, with a Bachelor of Music in Piano Studies and a Bachelor of Science in Childhood Education. He'd had a really busy four years, filled with full-time school and loads of learning opportunities, so he was pretty exhausted. However, he had seriously loved his time at school. The friends that he had made along the way were some of the greatest people that he had ever met, and he was sure to find them on all of their socials if he hadn't already during his time at NYU. Juggling two fields was quite a lot of work, but he wouldn't have changed it for anything. He went into the school with the mindset of improving his knowledge of piano, and he came out of it as a very strong pianist. Being at NYU allowed him to practice his skills both on his own and in-front of others during recitals and throughout NYC. The thought of possibly pursuing education came from his love of sports, and how he used to volunteer at summer camps-- it was part of an initiative that his private academy had as a way for students to become more involved in the community. He found that he loved working with younger kids, which was why he chose to focus on Childhood Education. Everything was worth it in the end, for in the Fall he'd be teaching at a local school in New York due to him having received his certification. On the side, he could always play the piano whenever he could.

This was his first summer off since high-school, and boy, was it a rush. He had spent the past four summers in classes, or zooming around the city to get all of his extra duties done, as per requirements of the departments. Sure, he had squeezed in time to see his buddies, but it wasn't as much as he would've liked. He couldn't wait to just chill out with Kamden and talk about everything, as they usually did. How was Bambi doing? Probably whipping out her latest novel. Amira was probably being bomb as always, he missed lounging around with her. And Leo, how was he doing? He missed his mischievousness and the adventures that they'd go on. Dear Lord, would he even dare to think about Daisy? His blazing crush on her was still raging strong. He knew that all of these questions would be answered soon enough, and then some, seeing as he was now nearing the enormous mansion. It was kind of funny; yes, it was a three-level building that just screamed wealth, but the Yards were probably some of the most humble people that you'd meet. Sure, Kamden liked to wear and buy expensive things, but he was never one to make others feel lesser because of what he had. You could be anyone from any walk of life and he would hardly bat an eye at your status. It just so happened that a lot of his friends happened to be on the wealthier side, such as Julian.

Pulling up to the mansion, which was all by its lonesome (no other vacation homes for a few miles), he waited for the gate to open before driving slowly along the winding path. The mansion stood in all of its glory; massive with what looked like a marble exterior, dark shingles, and a rooftop that he had sat on top of many times. It honestly looked like a movie house, and in all honesty, it probably was a movie house at one point or another. Maybe it could be used for a live-action Disney remake, or something. He chuckled a little at the thought before he tickered right, pulling into the parking lot where all of the other cars were parked. He swore, realizing that he really had been the last one to show up. Sighing, he parked right up by the side of the house, kind of hidden behind a giant bush that looked like it had been recently trimmed. He was always happy to see angled parking spaces, as they were just easier for him to park, based on past experiences.

Hopping out, he closed the driver's door behind him before opening one of the back doors, grabbing his dark green hoodie. Julian was wearing black shorts, an orange shirt, a black cap that was on backwards, sunglasses, and socks with sandals. With the hoodie that he retrieved from the back, he looped it around his neck like a cape, something goofy but still fashionable. Unlocking the trunk, he grabbed his navy blue duffel bag, one large suitcase, and a cloth bag full of snacks. He knew that the Yards's vacation home always had goodies, but they sometimes didn't have everything that he was craving at the moment. Besides, with a house of twelve people, there was bound to be a lack of food, what with the guys having enormous appetites (like himself). He was gonna share his snacks, of course, which consisted of cheezies, pretzel sticks, some kind of British chocolate, five different flavours of ridged potato chips, a box of sour keys, a bunch of Pringles, Goldfish (pizza flavoured and sour cream and onion), honey butter potato chips... the list went on and on.

Lugging his suitcase behind him, and his duffel bag and bag of snacks on either shoulder, he locked his car, rounding the corner to approach the front steps. He could already hear the sounds of laughter and reunion, as the front door was ajar. All of the lights were all on as he passed by one of the side windows; probably to make the house feel more alive. He sometimes liked when it was pitch black, so he could pull some sort of ridiculous prank on them all. Of course, it'd probably be cruel to do it on the first night (but they'd probably know that it was him anyways, for being so late).

Walking up the steps, he inwardly winced as his suitcase wheels were sure to be a little knocked up, what with him dragging it instead of lifting it up the stairs. Oh well, he thought. Too late now. He peeped through the doors, to see everyone (yes, everyone, so he really was the last idiot to show up) hanging out in the foyer. He grinned wide, his heart rate accelerated to see all of his buddies reunited once again. "What's cookin', good lookin's?" he shouted over their chatter, giving a big wave as he closed and locked the front door behind him. Hooking his sunglasses to the collar of his shirt, he threw all of his other things to the side; he'd deal with making house after he had greeted everyone. He spotted Kamden standing on the front steps leading up the stairs, and he instantly ran over and all but tackled his best bro to the floor. "Man, I missed you!" His smile was huge, even though he'd seen Kamden during his graduation and a few times afterwards. His heart leapt to see his favourite dude; a brother from another mother. "You better not have met someone else in the past few weeks." he joked, taking off his cap to run his finger through his tousled hair, the wavy sandy locks interweaving themselves through his fingers. He placed his cap back on backwards, turning around to everyone else. "Hey, can I get a group hug or what?" he grinned, his cheeky affectionate side poking through as he extended his arms to everyone.
