““Kyle tapped Caeden’s shoulder. “Isn’t your little brother the one who sang the Fergie song at the top of his lungs during that assembly last year.” Caeden buried his face in his hands. “That’s the one.” Shane snickered. “I watched that on youtube.” “He did a dance too,” Tyler said, and began to, I guess, mimic it.
