"So did Adrain tell you?" Alex asked and I frowned.

"Tell me what?" I asked and she rolled her eyes.

"That idiot! He said he was going to tell you about his secret crush since grade school. He also said he won't tell me until he has told you. Strange right?"

"Definitely strange." I muttered and thought back to yesterday night when we were alone. My heart skipped a beat as I remember how he was going to talk before his phone rang. What was he going to say? Was he going to tell me about his crush? Who could she be?

"And then...Earth to Izzy." She said snapping her fingers in front of my face.

"Uhn?"

"You spaced out for a minute... Are you okay? Did he say anything about a crush?"

"No he didn't..."

******************************

"Steve let go, you're hurting me."

"Steve,I beg you let her go...leave her alone. She's got nothing to do with this.."

"What's going on here?" I asked walking in m Porshie's face was twisted in pain. Livy was brawling like a cat and Mom looked horrible. And of course, Dad was on a business trip. I smacked Steve's hand and his hold on Porshie's head loosened. She clung to Livy for protection and I snorted.

"You're welcome..."

"What's this Steve? What's going on? Why were you holding onto her hand? Since when did you hit girls?"

"Since they started interfering with my family's peace of mind." He said glaring at Porshie and I scrowled.

"What is this? What are you talking about?"

"Stop yelling at me Izzy,she's the reason why Dad doesn't come home often." Steve said and Mom screamed.

"Steve! Don't you dare.." huh? Mom knows about this too?

"Dad's on a business trip,right?"

"Yeah,of course not... he's..."

******************************

I locked myself in after the little show downstairs. We all know Porshie isn't a real Night,she was dumped by her mother at our porch that night so what was all that? And what was Steve saying about Dad? He was attending a meeting at Dakar,right?

"Hey Avy, wanna hang out? There's this new Barbie part that just came out. Everything is on me, ice cream, movie..."

"Just what I need. Now?"

"Yeah,I pick you up in five." She said I thought for a second.

"Done.." I said and ran to my wardrobe,my phone on my bed.

"It's time to wear you..."

******************************

"Did I say you look nice?" Adrain asked eyeing me and I rolled my eyes.

"A hundred & one times already.." I said and he glared at me.

"Well you look good..." Adrain said and I blushed.

"Thanks. Alex, popcorn.." I said and she groaned.

"You've a maximum of ten popcorn and you've had seven." She said and I gaped.

"Adry has been stealing them..." I said glaring at him as he shoved my popcorn in his mouth.

"The movie is on me so you better decide..." She said in a threatening tone and I gulped.

"Movie...but please one more popcorn and you promised me ice cream..." I said and she groaned walking towards the shops.

"I knew I'd regret this..." She muttered under her breath.
