Drew: How do you know we don’t have classes on Monday?

It’s a holiday, and most universities aren’t holding classes.

Grady: ’Cause Tess is home from school.

Tess is his little sister, and I can almost hear Grady picking at his teeth with a toothpick. Southern boy to the core.

Drew: I have to think about it, I guess.

Grady: What’s there to think about? You already said you weren’t doing nothin’ this weekend.

Drew: That doesn’t mean I want to hop on a plane and fly to Texas, bro.

Grady: So you’d rather be lying on the couch with your hand down your pants instead???

Drew: It’s cheaper.

Grady: Don’t make me laugh. We both know your mama would pay to fly you home. When’s the last time you saw her?

I don’t know.

Christmas?

But that’s not unusual for out-of-state students who live hundreds of miles from their parents while attending school. And it’s not like my schedule is wide open.

Just so happens that right now, it is.

Drew: Yeah, but for one weekend?

Grady: Yes, for one weekend. Don’t act surprised. I told you about this, so you knew it was coming up. Drake RSVP’d already.

Drew: He did?

That surprises me. Normally, my twin is shit at getting back to people unless they’re asking him a question to his face.

Drew: What did he say?

Grady: What do you think he said? He said ‘piss off I have better shit to do.’

Drew: LOL

Grady: Just kiddin’ Drake wasn’t invited - we know he’s loved up with Daisy. I know for a fact YOU do not have better shit to do. LOL

Drew: Screw you, dude…

Grady: You wish.

Drew: LOL

Grady: But for real. Get your ass on a plane. You can stay with me. Most of the guys will be here. It’ll be a blast, and who knows, you might meet someone.

Drew: Uh. I’m not dating someone in Texas.

Grady: Who said anything about DATING?
