《YOUTH ⇢ BENNY WEIR》one

Advertisement

Sophia and her younger sister, Jane, were sat in front of the TV watching Jane's favourite film: Dusk. Sophia doesn't like the film at all, she says it's too "romantic and emo for her", but watches it nevertheless because she doesn't want to upset her younger sibling, who was engrossed in it, despite the fact everyone in the family had lost count of how many times she'd watched it.

Ethan, Sophia's younger brother and his dorky best friend: Benny, ran into the kitchen and dumped a load of candy onto the table. The thought of so much candy made her sick to her stomach.

"Look at all this! Did you rob an ice cream truck or something?" Ethan asked Benny.

"Tomorrow we officially join the high school brotherhood." Benny said. "We are men."

Sophia scoffed at Benny's statement, got up and sat opposite him. "What are you two geeks doing?"

"We're making it the Sunday to end all Sunday's!" Ethan replied, eagerly eyeing the candy.

"That's disgusting."

"What is?" Benny asked, with a mouth already full of junk.

I leaned back and shivered. "Nevermind."

"Remember when you put 176 of these in your mouth?" Ethan asked Benny, holding up a large packet of marshmallows.

"It was 186!"

"No, I did 172, you did 176." Ethan argued.

"You barely hit 150!"

They both looked at each other for a moment before diving at the packet of candy, trying to open it. "It's mine!" Benny announced.

"Remember to count them!" Ethan ordered.

"Hey, Ethan, Sophia, do you hear that?" Jane asked us.

Sophia's head snapped towards Jane before listening intently. She shook her head. "No, do you hear anything Eth-" she cut herself off once she looked at her nerd of a brother with his mouth full of marshmallows. He ignored us and carried on mumbling something to Benny.

Jane stood up and spoke to her teddy. "Teenagers really are dumb."

Sophia was too focused on Ethan and Benny and didn't realise Jane left the room. They kept mumbling stuff to each other, she was pretty certain not even they couldn't understand what they were saying.

The teenagers stopped what they were doing once they heard Jane scream and immediately got up and ran to the door.

"Ethan! Sophia!" The siblings looked at each other with panic before running outside, followed by Benny.

Ethan spat out his marshmallows. "Hey... you're home early."

"Hi mom..." Sophia said.

Benny, who was stood behind the siblings, awkwardly waved before scratching the back of his head, his mouth still full of marshmallows.

"How was date night?" Sophia asked them.

Their parents didn't look happy. Sophia and Ethan's dad comforted Jane whilst their mom looked at her as if she was about to murder them and they knew that was not a good sign.

Ethan looked back at Benny who managed to grin just a little.

We're screwed. Sophia thought to herself.
