My family is everything

Jordan shrugged. "I dunno, man, but one of us has to be, am I right?” 

Cameron shrugged. “If you say so.”

“Piano? Perfect. Let’s go punch the piano.” 

“Do you play too?”

“It is what it is.” Shawn sighed, flicking his eyes up as the other boy neared. “What happened?”

Cameron sighed. “I was shunted off to a new foster home and my sisters are getting adopted.”

“Awfully presumptuous of you.” He drawled, although the usual bite was gone from his words, and he felt the edges of his lips twitch.

“I suppose so,” said Cameron, smiling.

Sutton paused for a moment, she hadn’t heard him playing so she thought he might not be there. But he was and he was in a bad mood. Sutty let out the breath she’d held at his tone in a sigh as she pushed her feet forward. “You’re in a mood.” She commented, going toward the record player. “I was actually coming in to listen to something. Since I didn’t hear you in here.”

Cameron glared in her direction. “In a mood?” 

Willow frowned and got up from the floor where she was kneeling. “A large gray cat with brown eyes? Are you sure?”

“I haven’t seen any cats. So, yes, I’m sure.”

“Music? What do you play?” 

“Piano, guitar, and cello.”

“No, but neither of us can not promise that.” 

“When did you become so optimistic?”

“Just do what I do, don’t do it and blame the dog.” 

“Do teachers actually fall for that?”

“Oh,” Jordan pursed his lips before waving Cameron’s concern off. “Well, never mind that. We can officially start now. Clean slate. From here on out, it’s gonna be a great year, okay?” 

Cameron rolled his eyes. “Neither of us can promise that.”

“Well, if you insist.” She giggled, rolling her eyes playfully at him.

“I do. And don’t you forget it.”
