A Little Excerpt

It was December 2, 2016, and Jack Andrews, Levi Cranston, Asad, Prejesh, and Mackenzie Burbanks, Levi's girlfriend, were spending the evening indoors. They have all been living together since July of this year. And tonight was a great night to stay where they were and enjoy everything. They were going to order Chinese food and play video games. And they were possibly going to watch some comedy movies until 4 o'clock in the morning.

"What happened to David Savino?" Jack questioned his best friend.
"He was going to hang out with us, but he got tickets for a band concert with his brother, since the kid who was gonna go bailed," Levi replied.
"That sounds fun, though."
"Yeah, but I honestly would like to stay here and do nothing."
"So unlike you," Jack remarked, half-sarcastically.
"I thought about taking Mackenzie ice-skating, since we can easily walk there, but she and I were both like....uh....no," Levi replied.
"Yeah, makes sense. I didn't want to go ice skating either."
"Okay, Jack. Whatever you say."
"Did you know your parents live five minutes away?"
"I am very aware and okay with that, Jack."

Mackenzie ordered the Chinese food. And she and Levi were both going to get it, whenever their order was ready. And, while they were waiting for the cutest couple ever to come back with Chinese food, Jack and Asad made plans to play some classic video games.

David Savino, another one of the boys' best friends, was going to hang out with them tonight. However, that didn't work out when he was asked to go to a concert with his oldest brother. And, of course, that was an opportunity that David could not pass up. David now lives with one of his brothers on the north side of town, and they get along well. Things are going well for both of them; no dirty dishes, no missed garbage pick-up dates, nothing. And they have lived together for about a year now. They like to play video games together.

"What are you guys gonna do while Mackenzie and I get the Chinese food?" Levi asked Asad.
"Well, I plan to cream Jack in the game which name I can't remember," Asad replied with a smile.
"Well, good luck with that. I think I know which game you're talking about."
"Do you remember the name of the video game?"
"No," Levi said.
"Do you know which game I'm talking about?"
"I think so, but Mackenzie and I need to get the food."
"Okay. You go do that. I'll go ahead and cream Jack."
"Absolutely. See youse later."
"See ya."

Mackenzie put on her coat and slipped on her boots. Levi put on his dark grey quarter zip and put on his shoes. They decided to take his car because it was the easiest to get to. And there were three boys and one girl who were starting to get really hungry. At least they were getting good Chinese food.

"Hey, what's up? I haven't seen you at all today!" Levi asked his girlfriend of eleven years.
"I've been busy today, with work and all. My brothers, Jesse and Andrew, wanted me to help them pick out a few things for their house, so I just got back thirty minutes ago. How was your day?" Mackenzie replied.
"Busy with work. Dad asked me to make some more power point presentations for his meetings next week, so those are fun."
"Absolutely."
"That's what I like about my job," Levi remarked. "So, how are Jesse and Andrew doing?"
"Good. They are really decorating this year, so this is new for them," Mackenzie said.
"I think we should decorate, too!"
"Absolutely! Want to look at some Christmas decorations with me tomorrow, since I'm not busy at all?"
"Absolutely!"
"Call it a date!"
