“Didn’t know you like boxing…” Lily said.

           “Leo made me watch with him…” Carmen answered.

           “How’s your brother by the way, Carm?” Brooke asked. “The last time I saw him was the time when he came back with Sam in his arms…”

           Sam turned red at the memory.

           “He’s fine…” Carmen said.

           “What ‘Sam in his arms’?” Dean asked.

           “It’s a long story, Dean…” Sam said.

           “Yeah, like I have anywhere to go…” Dean cocked an eyebrow at her. “Come on, spill… I know everything there is about your girlfriend… Tell me about your boyfriends…”

           Girlfriend? Brooke’s head snapped to her.

           Sam smiled sheepishly. “He wasn’t my boyfriend…He’s just… my tennis instructor…”

           “I had a crush on my Archery coach but he didn’t carry me back home…” Dean said.

           “My leg cramped, okay… So, I asked him to take me home…”

           “A damsel in distress tactic? Never thought you’d go that low…”

           “Desperate people do desperate things…” Nicole said.

           “Well, at least I didn’t jump him in the library…” Sam replied.

           Dean nearly choked on her drink.

           “You okay there?” Lily asked.

           “Wrong pipe that’s all…” Dean said.

           Sam giggled. “Well, I’m not into that anymore…”

           “They all know?” Brooke whispered so that only Sam would hear.

           “You mean whether they know that I’m *****?” Sam asked not bothering to lower her voice.

           Brooke nodded.

           “Yeah, they’re among the first to know…” Sam said. “But not the parentals… Don’t go telling them yet…I know my mom would have a fit…”

           “And you guys are okay with it?” Brooke looked at the others.

           “Yeah… Why not?” Carmen asked. “She’s still Sam right? Not some two headed monster…”

           “Funny, I always thought she is a monster…” Nicole said.

           “At least she’s willing to admit what she is…” Dean said out loud to no one in particular for her eyes were still on the TV. “And not dunking in the dark to avoid other people knowing…”

           “You sounded as if it happened to you…” Carmen said.

           “Nah, I’m born like this… I’m *****-blooded…” Dean said.

           “Say that in front of Glass and she’ll have you under a microscope for sure…” Carmen laughed.
