When her phone buzzed one more time, Jordan shut it off completely. She didn't need it on. If someone was desperate to reach her (like her parents) they'd end up calling Kris when Jordan didn't answer. Plus any way to avoid Kyle was good enough for me.

"Come on, you're a catch, Kris. You just don't believe in yourself enough. Plus, a guy shouldn't expect you to choose him over your future," she said. That's what Kyle had began to do and Jordan was pretty sure that's when Kris first told her Kyle wouldn't be good for her.

If only Jordan had listened.

"We'll find you a cute Westbrook guy. If not, maybe there's a guy in East Grove," she said. Though she knew that wouldn't go over well. A teenage boy gave her a look when she mentioned the other school.

Yeah, right. A Westbrook kid dating an East Grove kid? It'd be a modern day Romeo and Juliet.

Not something Jordan wanted Kris to have to deal with right now when she had a baby brother to look after.

Jordan followed the host to their table and she opened up the menu, spotting the chicken tenders right away.

"Should we get an appetizer? Mozzarella sticks would be good," she said, her stomach grumbling.

"So the social scene isn't much different here and you just kind of stay out of it?" She asked.

(K these are gonna be bad and short)

Chase laughed a bit. "No plans. I like it." He started his car and began the drive into town. It was a peaceful drive. Nice. He turned the music up loud and rolled the windows down.

"So, you're in charge now. Where should we go? Beach? Park? Food? Mall?" he asked. Any place would leave them opening for teasing from anyone who's seen the snapchats from last night, but Chase didn't mind.

Yeah he was on a sugar high and had fun with a girl while most people were probably tucked in bed watching on their phone in tree dark.

***

"Probably the perfect one and the awkward mess. Well, get Jace to kiss Sophia. Or convince Sophia that it's okay to kiss Jace and he won't freak out. There, they kissed and then it's really easy to get them to be a couple from there. That's how t works in the movies. They kiss, stare into each other's eyes, and fall in love," Mia said, Turning in her seat to face Mason.

"That's cute though. He trusts you to protect him and that's all you really need. I mean, I know Jack has my back and Drake knows you have his back. That's good, isn't it?" She asked. It might be annoying, but she sure thought it was cute.

"What? The Great Mason is afraid of people thinking he'd finally settled down with a girl?" she teased, smirking like it was a challenge. She knew his reputation and that she shouldn't get involved with him, but something was drawing her towards him...

Mia shook her head. "But we ca stop at my place and change. You can just wait outside so Jack doesn't see you."

((Works for me.
I'm going to bed now, though. >.> So, uh, I will reply to stuff tomorrow? XD))

"Alright, well I'm to have to say no to the beach." Ash started, and then paused. "Well, okay, maybe not the entire beach. Because, like, there's that boardwalk so we could go do that instead of swimming?" She suggested. That was always a fun thing to do. "And from there maybe, like, walk to a restaurant or something?"

Ash had never been one for choosing, but if that's how it was going to be, then so be it. She'd make this a fun time, without them having a sugar high and doing a lot of crazy things.

"So, while we drive there, tell me... did you really have such a great time last night, despite not remembering anything, that you wanted to come hangout with me when, I swear, it hasn't even been eight hours since I saw you?" Ash asked. Well, if you counted the last of seeing each other as being that morning.

Either way, she didn't really care. It was nice to get out of the house and hangout with Chase, who she guessed could now be considered a friend.

--

"Ooh, clever. Let's set it up for them because you know they aren't going to fall like that that easily." Mason laughed, but did not turn in his seat to look at Mia because he's a stubborn jerk like that.

"If he ever gets into trouble with, say, some girl's crazy ex-boyfriend, then yeah, it's probably good." Although, to be fair, when would that happen? Drake was such a sweetheart, no one would probably fight him... well, unless he was off his medication, in which case he turned into a less flirty version of Mason.

At that comment, Mason turned to her and smirked. "At seventeen? Please. We'd have to get our parents' permission for us to get married." As if that was a viable answer, although true. "And I will have you know that I cannot get that permission, so ha."

"Sounds good to me. You wanna drive?" Mason asked.

(I need to get to bed too but I didn't want to be the first to leave. I'll reply the go to bed)

"Beach it is," Chase said. He turned down the music when Ash started talking and shrugged. "I mean, yeah, I guess. I don't have a ton of real friends. People are mostly in it for my pranks. But you're a real friend so I did enjoy myself." Well, it was a confusing answer, but it made sense to Chase.

"I mean, all I really have in the way of true friends is Arlo, but I can only have so much of him before I'm done," he said. "Plus, we share a room, so that's that."

Sharing a room with Arlo was tough. "You should be glad you have your own room. Our little sister has one too and I'm jealous. I've been tempted to move her into the top bunk in our room and I sleep in her princess themed bed," he said with a laugh.

***

"Alright. We'll start by getting them together. Say there's another party at Jace's house on a night hat Jack works. Jack won't come, but I'll go with Sophia. Then you hang out with Jace so he isn't hiding out in his room and boom! We got em together. Then we light candles, play music, dim the lights, and leave," Mia said, grinning. It was foolproof.

"I'm sure that won't happen. I mean, do you think Drake would try to go confront some crazy ex if he liked a girl?" she asked, a bit curious about the answer. She couldn't see Drake being aggressive towards someone, even if it was in defense of someone else.

"Fine. We didn't get married. You proposed to me and we'll wait until we're both 18. That's when we'll actually get married. We won't need permission then," she said. And she knew her parents would never give permission unless she'd been dating the guy for a few years and they liked him.

She doubted her parents would like Mason.

"Yeah, lets go," she said, pulling out her car keys. She led the way to the park parking lot.

(I actually really want them to do Mia's idea. It'd be adorably awkward)

(and then I'll respond in the morning)

((Good morning, everyone! I will reply to... all messages... with all of my characters. XD))

"Yeah. Plus there's the whole Arlo acting like a jerk thing in public," Chase said with a shrug. "He used to be more fun before we moved here but now he cares way too much about what other people think and it's really annoying. But whatever. He's a big boy and he can make his own choices. I just need to make new friends. So, Ash, will you be my friend?" he asked, figuring they should make it official. That way there wouldn't be any awkward moments where one of them thought hey were friends and the do other didn't.

"Why not just let him sleep in the living room? I mean, I don't know much about ferrets. Are they messy? Our guinea pigs sleep in the living room," Chase said. He and Arlo had had guinea pigs since they were children, replacing themm shortly after they died. They were now onto Hamlet III and Porky. Hamlet beloved to Chase. He just liked the name so much that he kept reusing it. Porky belonged to Arlo.

"I don't mind it, though it's a little short. My sister's six. She's like half my size," he said with a laugh. He liked the privacy sleeping in Ellie's room, but sometimes he woke up with half his body hanging off the bed. His bed wasn't huge, but it was bigger than hers.

"We're here," Chase announced, pulling into a parking space and turning the car off.

***

"It's not forcing them together. It's giving them options. Sophia thinks Jace is great but it's hard to tell if she feels that way about him. I have no idea how Jace feels about Sophia. Putting them in that situation, they might kiss, they might realize they like each other, they might realize they don't like each other, or they might sneak out and bond together somewhere else. Think of it more as opening their eyes to each other," Mia said.

"See. Drake seems like a pretty decent guy. I think he'd be fine in that kind of situation," she said. She didn't know him nearly as well as Mason did, but she saw no reason to be concerned. In fact, he was probably one of the most decent guys she knew.

"I'm not saying you should propose to me, silly. I'm showing you how it could work," she said with a smile. But she didn't push the idea since Mason was so clearly uncomfortable with if.

"I like the tie, but you can take it off if that's what makes you more comfortable. I know how restricting those can be," she said. Mia had began her riding in saddle seat and remembered how she'd it had been to show with a collared shirt and a tie tied neatly around her neck. Plus, how hot it'd been.

When they arrived at her car, she unlocked the door and got inside of the passenger seat,

(Jace and Sophia XD If they have a reason to do a proposal or fake proposal that could happen later fake a proposal so Mia can rebel against her family but I don't see either of them doing an actual proposal. Mason has his problems and Mia's literally never even kissed a guy and is so far away from being ready to get married XD)

(And that's what I figured when I said athletes are the worst with the rivalry. Cause Jordan's an athlete too. She's not gonna tell drake until maybe they start liking each other and she feels like it's lying by not telling him where she goes to school or her or Kris accidentally lets it slip XD Or she's got an Esst grove lanyard for her jeys)

"Well, if only I could remember last night," Chase said, signing at the thought. It sounded as if he had got into some trouble, which he hadn't because he was underage, when he had really just eaten a little too much sugar. He thought it was pretty funny.

"Well, I'm sure he appreciates that you let him stay in the safety of your room while he sleeps. Though he's alone most of the day anyway, right? You and Jace are at school and your dad works?" he asked.

"Also what kind of name is Jeffery for a ferret?" he asked, laughing. It definitely sounded like something a kid would name a pet. They usually used wild names like Fluffy and Princess Sugarkins or something like Jefferey or George. Apparently Ash had gone with the whole Jeffery/George thing.

"It's worth it to have some time away from Arlo. Ellie doesn't mind. She either sleeps in the top bunk or down with Arlo. He said it's kind to annoying but also cute," he said. Nights that Elie slept with him, Arlo would carefully get out of bed in the morning and por himself a large cup of coffee to make up for the sleep he'd lost in the middle of the night.

***

"I mean, that makes sense. I guess you know Jace better than I do," she said with a shrug. Sophia would have no problem with pressure, but Jace might just crumble. She laughed a bit. She didn't really know Elita, but vaguely remembered the girl as a dropout. Just like Mason.

"It might not fit around your waist. I'd say your head or one of your legs. I mean, you look good in a tie, but also you just don't really seem like the shirt and tie type. It was a bit odd to see you dressed like that, but I guess it makes sense if you had an interview. Or if you don't want to wear it you can just leave it in my car," she said.

She started up the car and began driving. "We could go out somewhere that serves breakfast or Culver's?" she asked.

(Is Jeffery gonna die? Chase would have an excuse to comfort Ash, but Jeffery is like my favorite character XD

Now is when Mia should mention getting a tattoo and Mason should convince her to XD Her first act of rebellion.

We should just brainstorm many drama ideas and we could always put it into the closet for later *evil laugh*)

"Oh, don't even get me started. I wish we could remember last night. It sounded like we did some really cool things and now, I have no idea what happened! Other than what Snapchat says." Ash figured that if she did anything on her bucket list, it wouldn't count because she couldn't remember it.

"Afraid so. Poor Jeffrey only has the maid to keep him company during the day. 'Tis a sad life... although I'm pretty sure all he does all day is sleep, so I'm kind of jealous."

"Well what kind of name is Chase for a boy?" She stuck her tongue out at him, thinking that was a fair argument. "I thought Jeffrey would be a cool name when I was ten and picked him out and he looked like a Jeffrey. Very sophisticated in the face. Very Jeffrey-like."

"Aww, it's cute how attached you guys are to your sister. And, like, take care of her and stuff." Ash smiled. It was sweet and it reminded her of when she was young... although Jace had spent a lot of time messing with her and not a lot of time being a good big brother.

"See, if I had a younger sibling, I'd probably kick 'em down or something." And that was the cold hard truth.

--

Mason could easily see Jace curled up on the ground, in fetal position, rocking back and forth and trembling from being forced into something like that with Sophia. "Yeah, let's keep brainstorming. Something simpler and then maybe when they know each other better, we can lock them up."

"I'm leaving it in the car." Mason announced. He was not intending to wear it anywhere. "Thanks. I never even wore a tie to, like, school dances or prom or anything." Yeah, that's right, Mason the Bad Boy enjoyed going to dances and busting a really bad move. Don't judge.

"Ooh, breakfast. But also ooh, custard..." He paused, thinking for a moment, but the option was obvious.

"We have to do Culver's. Screw real food."

((I have no plans for Jeffrey to die. XD Well, not yet, but if it adds to drama, might as well. I figure she got him as a kid so he'd be an angry old man by now, anyway.
Jeffrey is my favorite to just because of the name. XD Jeffrey the Ferret.
She would get a new ferret to replace Jeffrey and name it something like Bartholomew.
"Look at that face! He's a distinguished gentleman. I bet he's the reason we have gravity."

Yes! Do it! >=3 REBEL!

I agree. XD .... I've got like nothing.))

"Probably not many. I guess you may be right." Ash said, no matter how much it hurt to admit that maybe Chase was right about that. They were legends now, and school was really going to be weird for the next week.

"You can have it." She laughed, thinking it was funny that Chase even felt the need to bring up a simple apple. "Seriously. We have a ton... usually. And I don't think anyone is going to miss a single apple." Or maybe they would. Maybe it was a special apple... nah, probably not.

Ash was quiet for a moment, and then she started laughing. "Cute? Like you? Oh goodness." She would have continued speaking, but she actually had to stop walking for a moment to calm herself down from the laughing. "Sorry, sorry, it's just... oh, never mind. I guess it is more normal than Arlington, although I think Arlo is a cute name. Like something you would name a cute puppy. But it's also weird. So maybe an alien puppy."

She was able to resume walking after calming herself down from that fleeting moment. Yeah, sure, Chase was cute. But it was just the context of his statement that had made her laugh. "Exactly. Like, why don't the tiny humans come out knowing about economy? Why must they only like princesses?" Finally. Someone that shared her somewhat dislike of small children.

--

"Perfect idea! Mia, you're a genius!" Mason declared. He especially liked the idea of creeping through the windows. "Would Sophia believe that you went on a date with me? Or, even if Sophia and Jace were there, would Jack still say no just because you were going with me? We may need a different person to be your date."

"There isn't anything else good to where to those kinds of things. I swear. I only go because I may kind of enjoy dancing. Now, don't share that with anyone, but I'll cut loose and break a leg on a dance floor. As long as you are playing the right kind of music." Mason had a dance muse.

"I'm getting my own version of the three C's. Custard, chicken tenders, and custard." Mason wasn't much of a cheese guy and he really just wanted to eat a ton of custard and maybe get sick from it. Or get a sugar high, like he'd seen Chase and Ash have on Snapchat. Oh, that was hilarious.

"Despite popular belief, I do not have any tattoos." Mason, for all his piercings and other seemingly rebellious mannerisms, had never wanted to decorate his body with art. Which was probably even crazier because Mason did, in fact, love to draw and do other artsy things. "Why? Are you thinking about getting one?"

((Those are probably plenty of plots for now. XD Maybe we can try making others after relationships are more established? I like them all, though. o.o And I cannot wait for them to play out.
Right now, Chase and Ash are my OTP. I hate using that phrase, but it's necessary.
We could always have a "someone lies and ruins the relationship" kind of thing. xP Like, someone else spreads rumors or something, which causes the couple to break up?
Or cheating.
But those are all basic cliches. XD))

{Hi! I'll be home soon so I'll answer everything then!}

(Hey guys!)

"No, yeah, that was my brother," Elita said, giggling a bit at the thought of actually having a boyfriend. What a concept. She got on the motorcycle behind him. "I don't really date." Despite the efforts of certain people... she added mentally. She wouldn't let this go for a while. She hoped Mason saw her texts so he knew what was coming for him.

"No, never. I've always wanted to, though," she answered. She had never thought she would actually be able to go on one. It was pretty cool. She could check that off of her mental list of things she wanted to do now.

"Oh, I'm glad they liked them. Considering I picked out my own flower, I liked it a lot too." She blushed a bit at the reminder. It was an unexpected experience, but a welcome one. You would think, after growing up surrounded by flowers all her life, she would be sick of them. In reality, she loved them as much as she always had. They were too beautiful to hate.

"Ahh, it-it's fine. Um, but I'm not all that kind..." There were a number of people that could attest to that, as well as Mason's concussion when she was done yelling at him. And getting her money. She knew she could be rude and definitely insensitive, but it was harder to do so when she was around strangers. At the very least, she knew she was pretty. At times. Most of the time, she was just a mess, though.

"Eh, maybe..." Why would she meet his sister? She was still pretty confused about this situation, and what was going on in his head. She decided to just go along with it. If it was ignored for long enough, it would totally work itself out.
