"Friends?" Brandon snorted. Apparently he disliked the word. "Lia will never even think of be friends with you. Keep your imagination to yourself." Alex came along with Mal, but spoke of nothing when she saw the two rivals, and stood aside timidly. Chelsea showed up just in time, dragging her boyfriend away. "Don't ruin Alex's party," "You better watch your back," Brandon warned, giving Francis a sharp glare before he walked away with his girlfriend. Lia heaved a sigh of relief. She knew she shouldn't think that of her brother, but Brandon can be a jerk sometimes.
