(Zander)
Now I know I'll never get to be with Stevie. My heart is broken, and it's guys night tonight at my place with Kevin and Nelson. Right now, we are just eating sandwiches.
"What's wrong Zander? You look sad." Kevin says through his mouth full of lettuce and bacon. I guess I should tell them. I could tell my mom, but she's unpredictable. Who knows what she would do?
"I saw Stevie and Max." I say.
"So? We see them everyday." Nelson says taking bits of his meatball sub.
"I saw them kissing." I say. The freeze and stare at me.
"You aren't lying, aren't you." Nelson says.
"No." I say disappointed.
"Did you see what happened after?" Kevin asks me.
"No. I left before I saw anything else." I say.
"You never know what could've happened back there. It could've been a whole different story." Nelson says. Of course he would. Just your typical Nelson.
"What could've happened back there then?" I ask him.
"They could've been rehearsing for a play! Nah... They wouldn't do that." Kevin says. Way to make me feel better.
"Of course. Can we talk about something else now?" I ask them.
"We could go to Max's house and give him a nice talk." Nelson says.
"Yeah!" Kevin agrees.
"Let's not get carried away here. We don't even know where he lives." I say.
"Ever heard about Internet?" Nelson says. Uh oh.
Great. One thing, I'm talking to my best friends about Stevie, and the next thing I know I'm going to Max's house to "talk" with him. Whatever that meant.
"This was supposed to be guy's night." I say.
"It still is! We just need some explaining from Max." Nelson says.
"This is my fight, not yours. I appreciate the help, but I don't think I should talk to him." I say sheepishly. We are just outside Max's door.
"Don't do it." I say. Nelson rings the doorbell.
"Aw nuts." I say. Can't wait to see what happens. After a few minutes, no one has answered.
"See, no one is home, so let's just go." I say as I try to go away. Unfortunately, Kevin and Nelson take me back, and we hear faint steps behind the door. Someone opens it.
"Can I help you?" Max says covered in bits of duct tape.
"Uh... Why are you covered in duct tape?" I ask Max.
"Your friend Stevie attacked me with duct tape. Thanks a lot Kevin." Max says still taking bits of duct tape off of him. We all look at Kevin.
"What? I'm just spreading the love! There's nothing wrong with giving duct tape to people." Kevin argues. I roll my eyes.
"She wasn't kidding when she said it was extra strong," Max says. "I'm still covered in duct tape, and it has been hours already."
"So she doesn't like you?" I ask him.
"Uhhh... Yeah. I thought you could tell when you saw the duct tape!" Max exclaims.
"Why are you so grumpy?" Kevin asks me.
"Because Stevie slapped me, then attacked me with your roll of duct tape Kevin." Max says.
"Aw. Our little Stevie is growing up so fast." Kevin says wiping a fake tear out of his eyes like an over dramatic parent would.
"Your little Stevie slapped me!" Max says furious. I try not to laugh.
"You're just mad because Stevie doesn't like you." Kevin and Nelson say. Max just looks looks ashamed. I feel sorry for him. I knew how it felt to like someone, and have them not like you back.
"I got to go." he says, and goes back into his house and locks the door. Nelson, Kevin, and I just walk back to my house. The walk was... Interesting...
"HAHAHAHA!" Nelson and Kevin laugh suddenly. It almost made me deaf.
"She slapped him!" Kevin chokes out.
"Then she attacked him with duct tape!" Nelson says with tears coming out of his eyes. It was funny to think about.
"Come on guys. Let's just go back to guys night." I say mentally smiling.
