Andrea

Takes place after AVPM

"Why don't you go play, Alex? I'll be right here if you need me," my little brother waddles away toward the play set. I sit down on a bench and watch him play in the sand alongside a little blonde girl. I chuckle to myself. Alex got himself a girlfriend.

"Can I sit here?" a voice asks. It takes me a second to realize he's talking to me and it takes me another second to realize I should nod.

"Yeah sure," He sits himself down beside me. His bright blue eyes shine in the Michigan sun.

"Which one's yours?" the man asks me.

"That one" I point at my brother, "His name's Alex,"

"Is he your little brother?"

"No he's my son," I say with as much seriousness as possible. I watch him shift uncomfortably and become suddenly interested in a family of ducks, "Just kidding. He is my brother. I'm only 18. Relax buddy!" I laugh at him. A huge smile spreads across his face. I just notice how handsome he really is, "So, which one is yours?"

"The blond," he directs my attention to the girl playing with my brother, "She's my cousin."

"Joe, what's with your fingernails?" I ask noticing something strange. He hides them in his lap.

"It was a dare. I don't normally wear purple nail polish," he blushes, I laugh.

"Well, it was nice meeting you, but I really have to get going," I pick up my bag and head toward my brother.

"Wait!" he calls after me, "I don't even know your name!" I don't look back.

I lead my brother away from the park and whip out my phone.
