Marco and Will were on the floor laughing while I tried to get my ear out of Elonzo's grasp.

"Ow.. It hurts. Stop pulling." I said, clawing his hand and digging my nails into it.

"There was a reason I didn't want anyone to look. How dare you?" He said, his ears red from the embarrassment. Ryder was taking pictures of the wreck we made.

We printed out Elonzo's pictures and stuck them all around the living room.

What's embarrassing in that?

It was a picture of him cuddling with my turtle plushie. He was fast asleep when Nathan took those pictures. Elonzo was smiling in his sleep, while cuddling the plushie.

That is until he woke up and found me and Nathan there, he pushed the plushie away and asked if Nathan was there to cuddle too, with a scowl on his face. Embarrassing question for my twin, who just made a disgusted face and ran out.

Back to the present.
Scooby finally woke up and came running. He bit into his pants and pulled Elonzo, who glared down at him.

"You want to be next?" Elonzo gritted, glaring at my poor baby.

"Hey! Stop scaring him. You try pulling his ear and see what I do." I said. His hold tightened.

"Fine. I'm sorry. We'll go clean up the mess." I said. He released his grip and took a step back, raising an eyebrow.

Scary trucker.

"Aww." Leo muttered, rubbing my ear, with his cold hand. "This hulk hurt my baby."

Nathan and I ran when Elonzo took a step forward, threateningly.

Sadly, Leo didn't make it. We'll always remember him.

And now we were cleaning the living room with the occasional grumbling from Leo. Leo with a red ear. I laughed quietly, everytime I looked at him.

This dude never thinks wisely and quit being dramatic, when Elonzo is super angry.

Suddenly, the living room vanished I was met with a white wall. Leo stuck a picture on my forehead.

"Stop laughing." He said, most likely pouting. I ripped the paper off and laughed at him.

"I'm the wisest out of us three." Nathan said, pointing at our ears.

"Can't agree more." Leo muttered, rubbing his ear.

"But he looked cute." I said, smiling at the picture.

It's not often you see Elonzo so peaceful and happy. I asked if he was seeing Anna in his dream, but he didn't tell me, instead threatened to put me in the corner if I asked one more time.

"Yeah. You've changed him." Nathan chuckled, ruffling my hair.

"Not just him. You've changed everyone." Leo muttered, planting a kiss on my forehead.

"Stop being emotional." I said, shoving him a little.

"No, really. You know Elonzo never even let us in his room, before and now you practically live there and we all camp there when we want a movie night." Nathan shrugged.

"Elonzo has changed a lot. You freaking taught him how to smile." Leo said, smiling softly.

-----------

"Elonzo." I sang, when I knocked on his door.

"Baby." He sang back. I rolled my eyes. Freaking nickname that he likes more than my name.

"I'm here with your favourite plushie." I laughed before jumping on him. He let out an oof when I landed on his hard stomach.

Ow. It hurts.

I poked his stomach.
"Did you eat iron or something?" I asked, when my finger nearly snapped in half, because of the poking.

Elonzo rolled his eyes and wrapped his arms around me. He kissed my head. I hugged my plushie tight and snuggled more into him.

"You didn't tell me about your dream." I said, when he almost fell asleep, while stroking my hair.

"Because I don't want to." He muttered.

"No. Tell me." I said, shoving him.

"No." He said simply.

"Fine." I said, wiggling out of his grip. "I'm going to find someone else to cuddle."

"Are you done?" He asked after a minute, when I didn't even move an inch.

"Tell me." I whined.

"No means No, Evelina." He said, using that strict scary tone.

"Tell me means Tell me, Elonzo." I mocked. He opened his eyes to glare at me, but I pouted and looked at him with puppy eyes.

He ignored me and closed his eyes again.

"Mean." I huffed, pushing his hand away, which was stroking my hair. I'm not sleeping until he tells me.

"Stop it." He muttered, stroking my hair again. I tried pushing his hand away again, but didn't succeed.

I yawned and tried to keep my eyes open, but they started closing on their own accord. Truck this hair stroking.

"I love you, baby." He kissed my head, just when I drifted off.

I'll see you tomorrow, you mean oldie.

--------

Two days later.

I tiptoed out of my room and towards Marco's room. Putting my ear to the door, I tried to make out what he was saying. He was talking to Romeo.

Perfect.

I knocked on the door and barged in, before he could respond. Marco was sitting on his bed, his laptop before him.

I jumped on the bed, sitting across from Marco and leaned forward so my head was upside down before the laptop.

"Hey, Romeo. I miss you." I said, smiling.

"Hey, upside down Evvie. How're you doing?" He chuckled. I just grinned at him cheekily.

"I'm doing great." I said, just as I was pushed aside. I glared at Marco, while setting my hair.

He really threw me on the opposite side of his bed.

"Rude. You do NOT interrupt when your sister is talking to her brother-in-law." I scolded. Marco rolled his eyes.

"I just wanted you to sit comfortably while you talk to your brother-in-law." He said, sweetly. Extra sweet.

I went to sit beside him and took the laptop.

"You know, Romeo, your boyfriend got scolded today." I said, giggling when Marco tried to snatch the laptop from me. I moved away from him, now standing near the bed.

"He was tickling me and just then grandpa called and he got scolded." I said. Romeo laughed.

"Poor him. He was just making you laugh." He said.

"Making me laugh? That's torture." I said, gasping. I turned to Marco, who was following me around the room, trying to snatch the laptop back. "Quit it, Marco. Don't interrupt."

"Oh? You're saying that after you oh-so-politely interrupted us." He said. He snatched the laptop and sat down on his bed again. While I stayed there on the floor, sitting cross-legged, glaring at him.

"Mean." I huffed. It was fun annoying him, though.

"Okay. Go to sleep." He said, snapping his fingers.

"I would like to stay up and gossip with bro-in-law. Thank you." I said, crossing my arms.

Marco glared at me.
"Go to sleep. What was your bedtime again?"

"I don't have a bedtime." I mocked. "It's just you forgetful people, who think I'm three or something. I am a grown woman, I don't need to be treated like a baby."

"You're really not three?" He asked, with a disbelieving look. Romeo chuckled.

"Stop annoying her, Marco." He said.

"See. He's on my side too." I said, crossing my arms and putting my head up, proudly.

"Okay. That's enough." He said, getting up. He picked me up from the floor and tucked me in, despite my protests.

He sat down on the bed again and started talking to Romeo, keeping his volume down. I pouted while staring at the ceiling for a while, before I felt myself shift. A hand on my upper arm pulled me towards my brother.

"We can go meet Romeo this weekend." Marco said, smiling sweetly. I looked up at him and then put my head up to look at Romeo.

Hmm. That sounds great.

"Okay." I said, putting my head in Marco's lap, while he talked to Romeo and ran his fingers through my hair.

--------

"Hey girls." I said, walking over to them.

"Hey." They said. Britney looked in a sour mood.

"What happened?" I asked, already getting ready for a fight. Who dared to spoil her mood?

"Her crush didn't notice her." Kate laughed. Britney shoved her away.

"Oh." Was all I could say.

"Who's that?" I asked. "And when did she tell you all?"

"She didn't tell us. We had to force her to." Jenna said, stepping away from Britney, who was glaring daggers at her now.

"Oo. Who is it?" I smirked, wiggling my eyebrows.

Just then, I felt arms snake around my waist. Before I could react though.
"Good morning, girls." Zack said, as I felt his chest vibrate.

I turned my head to look at princess, but was met with his lips on mine.

Oh? We're going straight to kisses?

"Morning." I said, when he pulled away smiling.

"Aww." Many people said.

Before I could shut them up though, Kate said.
"Luciano is about to kill Zack." She said, looking behind me wide-eyed. I followed her gaze and yes, Luciano was charging at Zack.

I moved to stand between him and Zack.

"What?" I asked, crossing my arms.

"Tell your little boyfriend to keep his hands and lips to himself, before I bury him somewhere far away. Alive." He said, clenching his jaw.

"Whatever trucker." I rolled my eyes. "He's my boyfriend. We're supposed to do that. You go back to eating makeup." I said, shooing him away.

Luciano glared at my stubborn self, one last time before turning back around and storming off.

I turned back towards my sisters.
"Back to the topic. Who is it?" I asked, just as Max joined us, hugging me, then asking what had happened.

Now if the D-trips show up. I'm tired of these interruptions.

We were interrupted. Again.
"Nice to see you again, Evvie." Jayden said, appearing out of nowhere.

"Hey, Jayden." I said, smiling at him.

Him and Zack exchanged greetings. Zack looked annoyed, which Jayden didn't notice or chose to ignore.

"I wanted to ask, if you can come to the party at my house, next weekend." He said, looking at me, then at Zack. "Your boyfriend and friends are invited too." He looked at my sisters and my best friends.

"Oh. I didn't introduce. These are my sisters. Jenna, Britney, Jodee. Kate and Max, my best friends and Zack my boyfriend."

He shook hands with everyone. Everything was fine until Britney decided to surprise us.

"N-Nice to meet you." She stuttered, shaking his hand. STUTTERED. Jayden smiled sweetly, while shaking her hand.

Kate facepalmed. I looked at her with the 'What the truck?' Look. She just gave me a deadpanned look in return.

Ooooooo. The crush.

"Nice to meet you all." Jayden smiled, looking at everyone. He looked at Britney for a little too long.

"So, are you coming?" He asked, looking at me expectantly. "I'd love it if you guys attend the party."

"I'm not too sure." I said, rubbing the back of my neck.

I've been to enough parties to last a lifetime.

"But my sisters will be there for sure. Britney especially. She loves parties." I said, nudging Britney, who looked at me wide-eyed.

"Cool. Let's exchange numbers." He said. "Inform me beforehand, if you all decide to come. It will be hard to find you."

"You can exchange numbers with Britney, since she's the only one who's surely coming." I said, winking at her, when Jayden wasn't looking.

Britney clutched her phone tightly in her hand, close to her chest, after he was done putting in his number.

"See you later." He said, smiling at them, then at me and leaving.

"Woah." Jodee said, looking at me wide-eyed.

"How do you know him?" Jenna asked. Before I could answer, I was tackled to the ground.

Since Zack was standing behind me, he stabled me and Britney, who was hugging me.

"Thank you, Evvie. Oh my God." She said, muttering thank you again and again. "I love you really."

Zack chuckled.
"I don't have a problem with Jayden now, seeing he's about to be your brother-in-law." He said, shoving me a little.

"Someone was sulking because their crush didn't notice them." I said, nudging Britney who blushed bright red.

"Now we exchanged numbers." She said, with a dreamy tone to her voice.

"Luck." I said.

"I owe you, Evvie. Let's go on a shopping date next week." She said, pulling away.

"Sure." I said.

"If you ladies will excuse us, we have some business to attend to." Zack said, smiling sweetly and bowing his head. I blushed bright red, when they 'ooo'd and wiggled their eyebrows.

Truck this pighead.

"No." I said, simply and ran away, with him chasing me, a scowl on his face.

"You always do that, you ugly tomboy." He yelled after me. His voice echoed in the empty corridor.

"Its fun." I yelled back, but I was caught suddenly. I laughed when he flicked my forehead.

"You know what's more fun?" He mocked. "No kisses."

He pinned me against the wall, both of my hands in his one and his other hand on my jaw.

I gasped, dramatically. Although I know he's joking.
"How mean!" I exclaimed. How dare he!

I got my hands out of his grasp and flipped us over, so he was the one pinned. He looked down at me, smirking. I leaned in. Just as he closed his eyes, I mocked,
"No kisses."

I pulled away, when he opened his eyes suddenly. I walked away, smirking..

"Seriously?" He yelled. "I was joking."

"Take that, trucker." I said, waving him off.

"Come on, Nerdy." He said, following me.

"No." I smirked.

"Fine. I'm gonna get a kiss by the end of the day." He said, accepting the challenge.

-----------

"Hey, Evelina." A sweet voice said. I turned my head towards the wannabe queen bee.

"What?" I asked, a glare on my face already. I hate her.

"Are you and Zack Smith really dating?" She asked, saying his name like he was a celebrity.

"Are you really breathing?" I shot back.

"Hey! Chill." She said, sounding hurt. "I was just confirming seeing his choice was much better before." She said.

I just turned back around, ignoring her.

"I mean, you don't even have that body, a boy would crave." She said.

She hasn't even seen what figure I have, considering I wear baggy clothes all the time.
I rolled my eyes.

"Not that I know of. No one knows what's under those clothes. Even that dress you wore at Halloween failed to show your not-so-good-figure." She said, ending with a giggle.

I just pulled out my middle finger.

That's when she decided to get one level lower.
"He wouldn't even fall for that body and I wonder what you did, if it wasn't that. Or maybe you're a slut and you know.."

Ew. Gross. Why is she putting those dirty things in my mind?

Wait did she just call me a..

I turned around abruptly, surprising her. She backed away, but before she could get out of my reach, I grabbed her collar and pulled her forward.

"Listen here, you dirty little troll." I snarled in her face. "One more word about me and consider your tongue gone. Got it?"

She nodded abruptly, her eyes wide.

"What is happening there?" The teacher asked. I pushed her back roughly and turned back.

"Nothing." I muttered, looking down at the book.

Not his type. I know I'm different than the other girls he's dated or even had the entertainment sort of thing.

He wouldn't regret it, right? He hasn't shown interest in any other girl, who love to flaunt their figure or are more of sweet girly type.

Jayden.
