~Ritchie~
“Ritchie, what is this?” I looked over at Billie and found she was holding up a wrapped box.
“I really don’t know.” I walked over and took the present from her. Cautiously we opened it. Who knows, someone may have planted a bomb in my flat. Inside was a set of my favorite lip glosses. Underneath them was a note. It read:
My dearest Ritchie-
You have no idea how much I love you. Please accept these as a token
Of my love. With all my heart,
Your secret admirer
“Are you trying to tell me something Ritchie?” Billie asked me. “Are you saying you don’t want to go out anymore.”
“No! I have no idea where these came from. I promise.” Billie shot me a look of disbelief. “But I’m going to keep them. Because they’re my favorites.” Billie shook her head at me and left my flat in a huff.
So what if I keep them? I happen to like lip gloss and these just happen to be my favorite flavors.
~Addie~
“She’s doing WHAT?!?!!” I shrieked.
“Lori is planning on breaking into the police station to get her prints so you can’t press any charges.” Abs explained to me. Now that is insane. You cannot break into the police station and not get caught. Believe me, I’ve tried it before when I was sure my stepmum was an escaped killer.
Unfortunately she wasn’t. I didn’t get in too much trouble because I was a juvenile and my psychologist explained everything and I got off pretty easy. Only had to do 10 hours of community service. Lori on the other hand won’t get off so easy. She’s an adult.
“You have to stop her Addie.” Val begged me.
“I’ll try, but you guys know how stubborn she can be. Once she sets her mind on something she won’t stop until she gets it.”
“Sounds like someone else I know.” J mumbled under his breath.
“Watch it Mr.Brown.” I warned him.
“Ohh, I’m scared.”
“Yeah you should be.” I threatened him.
“Wait, wait wait. Are you two together or not?” a very confused Scott asked us.
“We don’t know. I like kissing him and everything, but are we together who knows?” I told everyone.
“So does this mean you don’t like me?” J challenged me.
“I never said that. I just said I don’t know if we’re together. We never discussed it. If you remember we were rudely interrupted by some people here.”
~Scott~
Boy am I ever sorry I brought up the subject of J and Addie being together. Now they’re in this huge fight. Val shot me and evil death look. She hated it when the two fought.
“Um, can we drop this? We need to figure out what to do about Lori.” I tried to be a peacemaker and get them to stop fighting.
“SHUT UP SCOTT!!!!” J and Addie yelled at me simultaneously. Boy did I ever shut up fast.
~Lori~
“What do you need me for Lori?” Brittany asked me. “I have some very important things to do.”
“Brittany, stalking Ritchie does not count as an important thing to do. I need you to create a diversion at the police station.”
“Excuse me? Create a diversion?” She stared at me with a blank face.
“Don’t give me that look. You can do it. We’ve done it tons of times before.” I pulled out a box from my closet and looked at the contents. Yep everything was still there. Wait! Everything was there but my slingshot. I bet that little rat Abs took it. I was doing this for him. Oh I had to get it back.Brittany knelt down beside me and looked inside the box.
“Fine I’ll do it. But only if you can get me closer to Ritchie.”
“Of course.” Of course I would do anything to annoy Ritchie...
~Sean~
Kelly and I had escaped into the kitchen. J and Addie were still out in the living room screaming at eachother.
“Well at least things are back to normal.” Kelly joked.
“Yeah, didn’t expect that relationship to last too long.” I said back. “Wait do you hear that?”
“Hear what?” Kelly asked me.
“Shh, listen.” We both became silent.
“I don’t hear anything.”
“Exactly.” We went back into the living room and found J and Addie snogging again. Allright, I guess they do like to snog. Scott looked like he was hyperventilating again.
“Guys you will never be-AHHHHHHHHH!!!” Ritchie had just burst into the flat. He was having the same reaction everyone did when we first saw Addie and J.
“Will you guys please stop doing that?” Addie asked him. “It kinda gets annoying.” You know, seeing J and Addie snog made me want to snog Kelly real bad. I grabbed her hand and led her out the door towards our flat. No one even noticed. We smiled at eachother and ran down the hall.
