"Ever feel like you're in a bad story?"
Taylor looked up from his book to find Isaac standing at the foot of his bed. "Huh?"
"It's like I'm in a bad story where everybody is one age. You and Zac get all the action and I'm stuck up in the attic by myself cause I'm older than all of you."
"Yeah ok." Taylor looked back down and kept reading.
"I mean, the only person around here that's my age is Bianca. She's cute... think I could get her?"
"No."
"Why not?"
"She doesn't like guys."
Isaac stared at him.
"Meaning, she's gay. She likes boobies."
"You're kidding me."
"Nope."
Isaac sighed. "I'm tellin ya, whoever is writing our lives needs to put some older people in here."
"You've gone batty." Taylor watched Isaac go back up to his room and laughed to himself. "Oh and by the way, Carter hates me." He said to nobody at all.
"No she doesn't." Carter stepped into his room from the balcony and sighed. "She's just royally pissed because you invaded her privacy."
"Look, I'm..."
Carter stepped forward and put her hand over his mouth. "Shut up. You don't know what that book means to me. It's everything I write. It's poetry, it's all my magazine clippings, and it's my lame attempt at writing songs."
Taylor mumbled and waited for Carter to take her hand off of his mouth. "I said I'm sorry. I'm a giant butthead, and I shouldn't have read the book."
"And what will you do next time you find something of mine that's laying open on the table."
"Close it and ask you if I can read it later."
"Right." Carter smiled. "Ok now I gotta ask you something."
"Ok what?"
Carter sat on his bed indian style and sighed. "I don't trust Justine."
"Hmm?" Taylor sat down next to her.
"She called from Gabi's house. At least I'm pretty sure she did. I'm not positive though. Maybe it was just Gabi calling to make trouble. But then again it could have been Justine. Maybe she's friends with Gabi and she's just helping Gabi to steal you away from me. But then again, how did Zac call Justine, and then Justine called 2 seconds later from Gabi's house, unless...Why does your face look like that? Your face has been doing weird things lately." She asked when she noticed him staring at her.
"You're afraid Gabi is going to take you away from me?"
"Well yeah, but that's not important... I think I figured it out..."
"You actually think she could do that?"
"Yeah, she's hot... and she wants your bod. But dude... DUDE!"
"What?"
"JUSTINE AND GABI ARE SISTERS!"
"Huh?"
"That's the only explanation. And I'm a dumbass and I sent Zac outside to go give Justine some Zaccylovin... What the hell was I thinking?"
"Wait, Justine and Gabi are sisters?"
"You're really slow today." Carter laughed.
"I'm slow everyday." Taylor leaned over and kissed her cheek.
"What was that for?"
"I'm sorry." He looked down.
"For what?"
"For reading your song and freaking out. If you still love Zac like that, I understand."
Carter rolled her eyes. "Geez, what the hell is it with you guys. It was JUST A SONG. I'm not madly in love with Zac."
"You sure?"
Carter leaned over and kissed Taylor. His eyes widened for a second, but then they closed as he slowly pushed her back so she was laying down with him on top of her.
Carter opened her eyes and stopped kissing him. "Hold on their sailor." She laughed and pushed him back up. "Remember what happened last time you got too frisky."
"Yeah. You broke up with me."
Carter smiled.
"Dude yer not gonna break up with me are you?"
"HA! No." She kissed him again. "Not gonna happen. I'm beginning to enjoy being your girlfriend."
"That's a good thing."
"Do you like being my boyfriend?" Carter looked up at him, melting Taylor with her adorableness (so not a word).
Taylor nodded and kissed her again. "Bianca is a lesbian right?"
Carter nodded. "I thought we already established that when you and Zac were saying how hot she was."
"I just wondered how you knew."
"Chicks know these things about eachother. Especially when the one of homosexual nature hits on the other one."
Taylor's eyes widened.
"This we are not going to discuss. Wait, actually, she's bisexual. I think I remember Todd telling me about her having a boyfriend... or something."
"YES!"
Carter slapped him on the arm. "EXCUSE ME?!"
"Oh. Sorry. I think Ike wants her. Or, anybody with boobs."
Carter laughed. "He is kind of... actionless isn't he?"
"Yeah. I think he's finally decided that hooking up with Meli would be icky."
Carter laughed again. "That's the first time I've ever heard you say 'icky'. That was too cute."
Taylor blushed and smiled. "Yeah, I'm just cute like that."
"You're also a big flaming dork."
"Huh?"
Carter hugged him and rested her head on his shoulder. "But that's one of the things I like about you so much. That, and your tremendous need for affection."
"I don't have a need for affection."
Carter smiled and kissed his neck.
"Ok maybe I do."
Carter stood up. "Ok I'm gonna go outside and make Justine tell Zac that Gabi is her sister."
"How you gonna do that?"
"Death by Carter." She grinned and kissed him again before leaving the room.
Taylor sighed and laid back on his bed. "Damn she's a tease."
