Brian arrived in Florida about noon. He got his luggage and then tried to find Kevin but couldn't because he was so short.
"Brian!" he heard his cousin yell. Then he saw him with three other guys.
Brian walked over to them and higged Kevin.
"These are the other guys," said Kevin, pointing to the other three.
"This is Howard Dorough or you can just call him Howie."
"I'm the one who is sharing the apartment with you and Kevin," he said as he shook Brian's hand.
Howie was an inch or two taller than Brian and had dark looks.
"This is Alexander McLean."
"AJ," the guy interupted. "I go by AJ." He shook Brian's hand.
AJ's voice sorta threw Brian off. It had the same kind of rasp Josh had had. And the guy was wearing sunglasses even though they were inside.
"And this is Nick," said Kevin, pointing to the blond.
Brian was shocked. All of the other looked older. Howie looked older than him and AJ seem only a couple of years younger than Brian. Nick was a kid.
"How old are you?" Brian asked.
"13," said Nick as he stuck out his hand.
Brian shook it and yelped. The kid had a buzzer in his hand! Nick started laughing and eventually, so did Brian and the rest of the guys.
"Well come on," said Kevin. "Let's go to the apartment.
The guys went out into the parking lot. Brian flinched in the heat; it had been low 60s when he had left Kentucky and it was somewhere in the 80s here. The others didn't seem to notice the heat. The got into Kevin's car and drove to the apartment.
The apartment wasn't huge but it had three bedrooms. Brian didn't have a bed so he slept in a sleeping bag. The next day, he went to a rummage sale and bought a waterbed for $50. His other stuff came a couple of days after he had been there.
