Katie met up with Madison after school. “Hey, you aren’t getting picked up by your uncle?” Katie asked her best friend.
“Nope. We’re going to get Bryan and make him tell us about his brothers!”
“Huh?” Katie was confused on what Madison was talking about.
“We’re going to find out if Robert likes you! Then find out what he likes! I am doing this for you!” Madison said with a smile. Katie blushes and starts to feel embarrassed.
“But… I don’t want to be laughed at or get my feelings hurt if Robert doesn’t like me.” She said looking down.
“That would never happen. I am sure he likes you. You’re very pretty. He would have to be a fool to not like you.” Katie wasn’t sure what to say to Madison. There was a good chance that Robert didn’t feel the same about her that she felt about him. Why? He never wanted to talk to her in school. Never even bothered to stare at her. Bryan starts coming out of the school. “There he is!”
“What do you want?” Bryan asked staring at Madison confused.
“We both need you. And we need your help.” Madison answers.
“No way, I got ice cream at home calling my name.” Bryan just wanted to hurry home. Robert and Ronnie didn’t even come to school for the past three days. They were depressed that Lacy was dating Craig. They haven’t even picked him up after school. It was a little challenge for Bryan to come home on his own, but he was trying. His dad was too busy at work but didn’t notice Bryan coming home alone.
“Please?” Madison gave a pleading face to Bryan.
“No way.” Bryan still didn’t want to do it.
“YES!” Madison grabs him and runs off with him. Katie just follows. They stop at a small café and sit down. “We need answers.” Madison said and takes a sip of her tea that she ordered.
“Answers for what? Homework? I don’t got the time.” Bryan was annoyed.
“No, for your information, Katie wants to date your older brother Robert. She has a thing for him.” Katie blushes.
“Madison!” She already just felt humiliated.
“Tell me, does Robert like Katie? What type of girls he likes? What is he into?” Madison asked Bryan. He just stared at her confused.
“Are you an idiot? I think Robert likes Lacy. But Lacy started dating Craig or so I heard. So he is free.” Hearing that Robert likes Lacy made Katie want to leave. She stood up.
“Wait! He’s single!” Madison said and makes Katie sit down.
“Now for what type of girls does he like? I am not exactly sure.” Bryan didn’t know how to respond to a question like that. “I guess wear some dark colors? He’s into that.”
“I have some dark colors in clothes.” Katie answers. She wasn’t sure if that would be enough to get Robert to like her.
“I can give you a makeover Katie! You will be good enough for Robert and he’ll want to date you!”
“Good luck.” Bryan stood up. “Can I go home now? I really want my ice cream.”
“Fine.” Madison said already cooking up a plan to get Katie dressed up for Robert and to set them up. Bryan left. “Once they’re set up, I can try to squeeze myself with Ronnie. Then we both will be happy! I really like Ronnie too!” Madison blushes.
For the past days, Craig and Lacy kept going places. But not now, he came over and was hanging out with her in the attic. Lacy’s mother was at work along with Brice.
“It feels nice to actually date.” Lacy blushed.
“We never even shared a kiss.” Craig laughs a little. Lacy blushes more.
“We‘ve been on three dates already? I can’t believe it.” Just being around Craig, Lacy was smiling.
“What’s your favorite color? Mine is purple.” Craig said. Lacy just laughs a little.
“Dark blue.” Was her response.
“Nice color.”
Madison went over Katie’s home and was dressing Katie up. She was trying to give her a new makeover. She puts a long sleeve dark blue shirt on her. Katie was wearing dark blue jeans. “You think he’ll like me like this?” Katie asked feeling nervous.
“Of course!” Madison starts brushing Katie’s hair.
“He will like me! I am not ugly!” Katie starts to feel more confidence. Even though she knew he liked Lacy, but maybe she could change that. He can fall for her and lose the crush.
“After you get ready, let’s take you over to see Robert. Okay?” Madison already wanted to set them up. Katie felt nervous about going over there already.
“Uh… Okay. But I can do it myself. I’ll tell you the results later. Okay?” Katie says. Madison nods.
Robert was eavesdropping on Lacy and Craig. He saw through the crack of the door that Lacy was smiling. Ronnie came over behind him. “Lacy seems happy. We have no right to interfere in their relationship.” Ronnie tells his older brother.
“I know that.” Robert wasn’t happy with the idea of Craig and Lacy together. He walks away and Ronnie follows him. There was a knock at the door. Robert went to answer it with Ronnie following him. Katie was at the door.
“Uh… hi.” Katie just felt nervous. Robert stared at her.
“You like me?” Robert asked her.
“Uhh… why?” Katie was confused at his question. Ronnie was too. Robert looks at Katie in the eyes.
“Let’s go out.” Just like that, Robert went out the door with Katie. Ronnie was confused.
“Did he get over Lacy that quick? Was I wrong that Robert had feelings for Lacy like me?” Ronnie asked himself confused. He didn’t understand at all. Madison was spying on the both of them from a bush.
“Looks like Katie might be getting with Robert! Ooh! I hope I can get with Ronnie!” Madison thought to herself feeling happy. Katie and Robert left and Madison didn’t even see where they went. She decided to go home.
“I wonder… what just happened?” Ronnie felt confused.
“Did Robert go out with Katie?” Bryan asked walking over to Ronnie.
“Yeah.”
“That’s odd. I guess he does like Katie? And here I thought he liked Lacy.” Bryan was just as confused as Ronnie was.
Lacy was sitting by Craig as they both just kept talking. “It’s interesting that we have some things in common. The only difference is I don’t like to wear all that dark colors and stuff.” Craig said staring at Lacy. She looked down.
“Yeah.” Craig sits close to Lacy.
“We been on three dates, don’t you think it’s time we have our first kiss together?” Craig asks her. She blushes.
“I…I guess so.” Craig leans in and places his lips against Lacy’s. Lacy closes her eyes.
“Craig isn’t a bad kisser.” Craig kept kissing Lacy. “He’s not but… This just doesn’t feel right. Lacy pulls away.
“Is something the matter?” Craig asked.
“I…I am not sure. Can we just talk?” Lacy didn’t feel right kissing Craig.
“That’s fine.” Craig was a little confused by Lacy’s actions.
Robert ran off with Katie into the park. It was cold out, but he didn’t care. “What are you doing?” Katie asked. Robert ran behind some bushes and pushes Katie down on the floor. “Ow! What the? What are you doing?!” Katie was confused and sits up. Robert got down in the grass with her.
“You like me? Don’t you?” Robert asked. Katie blushes and nods slowly. “This is what you do if you love someone.” Robert pushes Katie down on her back and forces his lips on hers. Katie was confused. Robert kept kissing her. Robert didn’t really know much of Katie. He didn’t even know what he was doing. He didn’t like Katie, but he felt so mad at Lacy with Craig. He felt like he just wanted to get back at her, but who was he kidding? She probably wouldn’t care. Katie stops Robert.
“What are you doing? Trying to have sex with me?! This isn’t love! I just wanted to date first before doing that!” Katie felt confused about Robert.
“You know the real me. When Lacy moved in my house I just had sex with her. Turned her into my little whore until Craig took her and started to date her. Now she won’t screw me anymore.”
“You just use girls?! Robert, I didn’t expect this from you! I thought you were just a loner but a real nice guy!” Katie felt like she didn’t like what Robert was doing to her.
“My dad has porn magazines, porn DVDs. I watch it, look at it. I was so hooked on wanting to have sex, and I got it when I had Lacy.”
“Robert, don’t you believe in love?” Katie asked. Robert glares at her.
“Love doesn’t exist.”
“Yes it does. My parents love each other.” Katie glares at Robert.
“My parents don’t! My mom cheated on my dad for years and now their divorcing! Hell, my dad cheated on my mom and did his boss. She was a hot lady. Does love seem like it exists to you?” Robert asked Katie.
“Robert, please. Your parents just need to find the right one. They probably aren’t soulmates.” Katie explains to Robert.
“Fuck you!” Robert presses his lips against Katie’s. Katie wanted to stop Robert. Robert was trying to force his tongue in her mouth. Katie couldn’t take it. She slaps him.
“STOP IT!” Katie yelled. She sits up. Robert backs away from her. “What is the matter with you?!”
“Lacy…” Robert mumbles.
Lacy was sitting by Craig. She starts crying. “Lacy, are you okay?” Craig was unsure why she was crying.
“It’s nothing!” Lacy lies and gets up and ran out of the attic. She ran straight to the bathroom.
“Why do I feel so sad?!” Lacy asks herself. Ronnie had saw Lacy ran into the bathroom and felt concerned about her. He knocks on the bathroom door.
“Lacy, are you okay? Craig didn’t do something to you. Did he?” Ronnie asks. Lacy wasn’t sure how to respond. Or if she wanted to respond. She was crying and Ronnie could hear her crying by the door.
