Christmas break was over. Everything seemed to be going normal. Madison’s parents had came home and she couldn’t be even more happy, while on Christmas break when Madison was hanging with Katie, she met Alana. Katie just started to talk to Alana as they both had some classes together, which was great. They all seemed to be getting along great as friends. Since Lacy’s mom and Ronnie’s dad saw them two together, Lacy decided to just date Ronnie. Since she was caught with him, she just decided to choose him. Things haven’t been going well for Robert when he sees the two of them together.
In the cafeteria, at the lunch table Katie came over with Alana. “Can she sit with us?” Katie asked with a smile.
“Sure!” Max smiles looking up at Alana. Katie and Alana sits down. At the table were Robert, Ronnie, Lacy, Craig, Max, Katie, and Alana.
“It seems like now the table is getting more crowded.” Craig laughs a little and then took a sip of his milk.
“Too crowded.” Lacy responds.
“Hey, I heard from Bryan that you and Ronnie started dating. Is it true?” Max asked Lacy. She glares and blushes a little.
“That’s none of your business you worm.” Lacy rudely responds.
“Ouch, don’t bite my head off. I just wanted to know if it was true or not.”
“It is true.” Ronnie replies with a smile to Max. Robert didn’t want to hear about it. He felt like getting up and leaving.
“Poor Madison, should I tell her that Ronnie began dating Lacy? I don’t want her feelings to be hurt. She liked Ronnie too.” Katie thought to herself. Alana blushes and stares at Craig.
“Um, aren’t you in my one class, algebra?” Alana asks Craig.
“I think so. You’re the new girl, right?” Craig asked. Alana nods shyly.
“If you need any help on some homework, don’t be afraid to ask me. I’m good at algebra.” Craig brags a little. Max glares at his best friend.
“He better not like her or want to pick her up.” Max thinks to himself already feeling jealous. Ever since Max first met Alana he seemed to have a crush on her. He never got to spend a lot of time with her to get to know her better, but she seemed like a nice girl.
“So, you two started dating? I figured you probably would’ve date one of the brothers sooner or later.” Craig said to Lacy.
“Actually, my dad and her mom caught her and Ronnie together.” Robert said to Craig.
“Caught them together? What were they doing?” He asked with a big smile on his face.
“Robert, if you say another word I will literally rip your eyes out.” Lacy said in a cold voice to Robert. She felt embarrassed and didn’t want to hear anymore about that day when she was caught with Ronnie.
“Aren’t you being a little harsh?” Katie asked Lacy. She glares at her.
“Aren’t you being a little annoying?” Lacy asked Katie.
“You shouldn’t say mean things.” Alana tells Lacy.
“I say whatever I want.” Lacy answer was. Katie decided to focus on eating her lunch.
“So Lacy is dating Ronnie. I wonder if I can get with Robert? But… I don’t know if I want to, last time he just asked so freaky. I still like him though. I wish I can help him and be the one that really loves him and helps him feel at ease.” Katie thinks to herself as she stared at Robert.
After school, everyone was going home. Katie walks over to Robert at his locker. “Uh… hi.” Katie said. He closed his locker and looks at her. “Can I come over your house today?” Katie asks.
“Why?” He asked confused. “There’s nothing special about my home. How about I go over your place?” Katie couldn’t believe what she heard.
“You want to come over my house?” Katie asks.
“Yeah.” Robert responds.
“Alright! You can. My mom and dad will probably be at work, but I am sure they wouldn’t mind.” Katie smiles. “You can drop your stuff off at home and then come right over. Let me right the address down where it’s at. Do you need directions?” Katie asks.
“I probably will.” Katie pulled out a sticky note and starts writing on it, she then hands it to Robert. Ronnie and Lacy came over when Katie walks away.
“What were you doing with her?” Lacy asked Robert feeling a little jealous.
“Going to go to her place, it shouldn’t concern you. You’re dating Ronnie remember?” Robert had a good response. Lacy didn’t like it too much. Robert, Ronnie, Lacy, and Bryan had gone home.
“I have a ton of homework! You know that Madison girl tried to fight with me today, but I set her straight. She really is a meanie.” Bryan tells Robert and Ronnie as he sat his backpack on the sofa. Lacy went upstairs to the attic.
“Are you sure you don’t have a crush on her?” Ronnie laughed as he joked with Bryan. Bryan glares with his face red.
“I DO NOT! I don’t like her!” Bryan seemed embarrassed. Ronnie noticed Bryan was blushing.
“You’re blushing. You know what that means? You like her.” Ronnie teased even more.
“NO! NO! NO! I DO NOT! DON’T! Not in a million years!” Bryan denied it.
“Whatever.” Ronnie went upstairs. Bryan stared at Robert.
“What are you doing?”
“I think I am going to go hang with Katie today.” Robert said and sits his backpack on the sofa.
“Katie? Why hang with her? I thought you didn’t like her? Or so I heard.” Bryan was confused.
“Well, Lacy is dating Ronnie. I might as well shop around.” Robert responds.
“Wait a minute. Do you really like Lacy?” Bryan asked with a devilish smile. “That’s cute. Honestly.”
“No. I don’t like her. There is no such thing as love.”
“Keep on telling yourself that. You like her and you just don’t want to admit it.”
“Oh, like you like Madison but won’t admit it?” Robert asks. Bryan blushes yet again.
“No! I do not like her! I can’t stand her! She’s so annoying! She’s bossy! Mean! Know it all!
Always saying the meanest things to me!”
“But deep down you got feelings for her.” Robert added. Bryan glares at his older brother.
“Stop it! I don’t like her! I want a more mature girlfriend.”
“Mature? Why? You’re immature yourself.” Robert laughs a little.
“I am not immature! I am more mature than you! All you do all day is smoke and cuss!”
“Hey, that’s what adults do. So, I am being like an adult. Just a teenager. Well, I got to go. See you.” Robert left the house.
“I wonder why Robert just doesn’t admit he likes Lacy? I can tell he so likes her. But… I don’t like when Ronnie or Robert think I like Madison. I don’t like her!” Bryan thinks to himself and decided to work on his homework that he had.
Ronnie went into the attic after her dropped his backpack off and coat in his bedroom. He walks over to Lacy who was sitting down.
“Hey.” She smiles a little.
“Lacy, I am really glad that you decided to choose me.” Ronnie gets Lacy to stand up, he then hugs her. Lacy blushes. “Just don’t think about Robert anymore. He doesn’t even believe in love anyways and doesn’t deserve you.”
“Ronnie… I…” Lacy wasn’t sure what to say.
“Lacy, you mean the world to me. The day I first met you, and when I kept being around you. I knew that I wanted to be with you.” Hearing that made Lacy blush more.
“Y-You aren’t mad that I slept with Robert?” Lacy asks as she makes Ronnie let her go.
“I can forgive it. But no more. No more kissing, touching, or sleeping with Robert. I want you all to myself as I am all for you.” Ronnie kisses Lacy. She kisses back.
“I have to accept this. I really like Ronnie. Even though I like Robert too. I made a decision now and can’t back out of this. I should be happy that I can be with at least one of them. No one should have two lovers. That isn’t fair.” Lacy thinks to herself as Ronnie kept kissing her.
Robert had made it to Katie’s house following the map she gave him. He knocked on the door. Katie answers.
“Hey Robert.” She smiles. “Come in.” Katie lets Robert in and then closes the door. “I need to do the chores and clean up, but I just didn’t get to yet.”
“Your parents at work still?” Robert asks. Katie nods.
“Yes, they work a lot. Barely home most of the time. I should be thankful that they love me and want to take care of me though.”
“I guess so. Robert took his coat off and sat down on the sofa.
“I can get some drinks. You want any tea? Coffee? Soda?” Katie asks. She felt a little nervous.
“I would like to have beer honestly.” Robert responds. Katie couldn’t believe it.
“You drink beer?” She asks confused.
“Sometimes. I steal it from my dad.” Robert answers. Katie couldn’t believe what she heard.
“I’ll just get you a soda.” Katie left to the kitchen.
“What am I doing here? I go to Katie every time Lacy hurts me. And I only do it because I know Katie likes me. I feel like I am using her. Heh. That dumb bitch.” Robert thought to himself. “She just doesn’t even know I am using her. Using her just because I am upset and mad at Lacy. I take it out on poor little Katie.”
Katie came back into the living room and sits the soda on the coffee table. She then sits down on the sofa next to Robert. “So, um… How you been? Okay?” Katie asks. She felt nervous.
“Katie, you know what I been up to? Getting my feelings hurt by Lacy. She decided to choose Ronnie instead of me.”
“That’s awful. You really like Lacy don’t you?” Katie asks. She felt upset thinking about it.
“I did. But that wasn’t till I realized that I don’t love her. She just never treated me right. The only person that seems right for me is…” Robert touches Katie’s face. “You.”
“W-What?” Katie asked confused. Her face was red.
