Why did I care what I looked like at this stupid dinner? I was acting like a girl.
Then through a gap in my curtains I saw them coming.
Out their front door, down their walkway, across the street.
It was like a weird dream. They seemed to be floating toward our house. All five of them.
I pulled a shirt off my bed, punched my arms in, and buttoned up.
Two seconds later the doorbell rang and Mom called, “Can you get that, Bryce?”
Luckily, Granddad beat me to it. He greeted them all like they were long-lost family
and even seemed to know which one was Matt and which one was Mike.
One was wearing a purple shirt and the other was wearing a green one,
so it shouldn’t have been that hard to remember which was which,
but they came in and pinched my cheeks and said, “Hey, baby brother! How’s it goin’?” and I got so mad I mixed them up again.
My mother zoomed in from the kitchen, saying, “Come in, come in. It’s so nice you all could make it.”
