Group of friends

Evening was gently falling over the city, and the lights in the houses were beginning to flicker on one by one.
At (Y/N)'s place, as almost every Friday, the whole gang had gathered after school. High school bags were abandoned in the entryway, Rocky was running everywhere with one of Lucas's socks in his mouth, and Midnight was already asleep on the sofa as if he paid the rent.
In the living room, the boys were settled in front of the television.
— Lucas! You cheated! Hugo shouted, pointing at the screen.
— Absolutely not, it's just talent, Lucas replied with a proud smile, controller in hand.
Nathan shook his head.
— No, that's called being delusional.
Enzo, for his part, played in silence, focused, while Hugo made a drama out of every defeat.
In the kitchen, (Y/N), Emma, Lina, Chloé, and Zoé were preparing dinner while picking a movie.
— No horror movies this time! Emma said, chopping vegetables.
— Why? Lina asked with a suspicious smile.
— Because last time, YOU screamed louder than everyone else.
Zoé burst out laughing.
— It's true! Even Rocky was scared!
(Y/N) stirred the pasta sauce, smiling. She loved these moments. The noise of the boys in the living room, the pointless arguments over movies, Hugo's terrible jokes... it was all part of their routine.
Chloé placed the plates on the table.
— We're watching a comedy. This time, I decide.
— Dictatorship, Zoé whispered.
— Exactly, Chloé replied.
Everyone burst out laughing.
Suddenly, a huge scream rang out from the living room.
— NOOOO! Lucas yelled.
(Y/N) came running in.
— What's happening now?
Nathan crossed his arms.
— Enzo just beat him. Very violently.
Enzo simply looked up.
— He spoke too soon.
Lucas fell dramatically onto the sofa.
— I will never recover from this betrayal.
Midnight opened one eye, judged him silently, and then went back to sleep.
(Y/N) sighed, laughing.
— Come eat before I decide to abandon all of you.
