I shrugged. “Down to her room, I think.” “Go tell them, would you? And then come have some hors d’oeuvres.”
“Sure,” I said. Anything to get rid of the taste in my mouth.
Lynetta’s door was closed. And normally I would have knocked and called, Mom wants you,
or, Dinner! or something, but in that split second before my knuckles hit wood,
my hand became possessed by Evil Baby Brother. I turned the knob and walked right in.
Does Lynetta freak out or throw stuff at me and scream for me to get out? No. She ignores me.
Matt-and-Mike give me a nod, and Lynetta sees me, but she’s got her hands over some headphones
and her whole body’s bobbing up and down as she listens to a portable CD player.
Matt-or-Mike whispers, “It’s about over. We’ll be right there,” like of course I was there to say it was time to eat.
What else would I be doing there? Something about that made me feel, I don’t know, left out.
I wasn’t even a person to those guys. I was just baby brother.
Nothing new there, but now it really bugged me. Like all of a sudden I didn’t fit in anywhere.
