** I was going crazy last week because the website wouldn't let me update. It has been pulling up an error page for about a week now.
Special thanks to xXemmaliesXx for helping me out, though! If she didn't teach me how to get past the error page, well...this chapter wouldn't be posted!

Anyways, here is chapter 10! **

Chapter 10

Molly yawned when she entered the living room. She looked to see Kasey curled up on the couch, snoring loudly. She nudged him with her foot to wake him up. Kasey moaned when waking up and immediately started to complain about his head hurting. His hangover was taking effect. Molly took advantage of it.

"Good morning, Kasey!" she said in her loud, obnoxious voice. She opened the curtains, letting in bright beams of sunlight into the house. Kasey cringed and shielded his eyes with a blanket. Molly pulled the blanket off of him and hollered, "What's wrong, Kasey? A little sun can wake you up!"

Kasey covered his ears and closed his eyes tightly. "You're torturing me!"

Molly smiled in pleasure. "Good! Maybe this could convince you not to drink and to get your life together."

Kasey was getting annoyed. "I am getting my life together."

Molly's eyebrows got high and got serious. "Dropping out of school is getting your life together?"

Kasey rolled his eyes. "You're forgetting that I went back to high school last year to finish it."

"I'm not talking about that. I'm talking about college. You must've dropped out if you're here right now."

Kasey looked away from Molly to stare at the ceiling. He muttered, "I couldn't afford it after I lost my job… Besides, I was failing anyways, so what was the point?"

Molly grew quiet. Maybe she was being a bit too harsh on him. It seemed that Kasey was making an effort to get back up on his feet again. She felt bad now for jumping on him so much.

"Look, I'm sorry. I know you're trying… I'm just being a jerk. I should be glad you aren't just giving up on life."

He nodded. "You know, I want to go back to college when I get myself together again. And this time I'm not gonna fail my classes!"

Molly smiled. "That's good."

Molly closed the curtains back and finished getting ready for school. She grabbed a piece of toast and headed out the door with Angela after she gave Kasey a tall glass of water.

"Remember to drink lots of water for that hangover," Angela told Kasey.

It was another day of doing bookwork in their first period class. Hayden was extremely far behind on grading papers, due to procrastination, so he ordered the class to answer questions from their history book. It enabled him not have to teach and so that the room was quiet enough for him to work in peace. All grades had to be submitted by the end of the day since the school year was coming to a closing. Once the grades were organized, the front office would make the class rank list and determine the students' GPA. The students were very eager to know their GPA and class rank.

There was no doubt about it; Gill was number one in his class. He always was. He was too brainy not to get the highest rank and perfect GPA. For that reason, he never worried about getting a bad grade. He didn't know about Molly, Chase, or Angela, but he knew for certain that Luke wasn't near the top of the list. He glanced over at Molly and Chase passing a note back and forth. He couldn't help but get annoyed.

Chase scribbled down his reply to Molly. "I really am sorry… Please don't be mad with me anymore!"

Molly sighed before writing down her answer. "Okay, I'm not mad anymore, but you can't tell me who I am and not aloud to talk to."

"Fine, I'm just glad you're not mad at me. So, how was your piano lesson, anyways?"

Molly smiled. "It was awesome! Gill showed me a bunch of chords that sound so cool! I'll show you when we get to the music room. How was your…yesterday?"

"I had to teach the brilliant Maya how to cook. I don't understand how she can be so terrible when her grandmother,Yolanda, is one of the best chefs around."

"You're so harsh on her! And if you don't like teaching her, then why did you agree to do it in the first place?"

"Because Yolanda personally asked me to tutor Maya. How the heck am I supposed to refuse when Yolanda is my mentor?It sucks!I don't want to risk upsetting her and not be able to study under her."

"Hmm, I guess I get what you're saying. Hey, do you want to hang out later today? I can stop by the Bar tonight while you're there."

"Oh, I actually have the day off tonight."

Molly was puzzled. "But the Bar is never closed at night. Why aren't you working?"

"Hayden gave me the day off for my birthday."

"IT'S YOUR BIRTHDAY?" Molly absentmindedly yelled out loud. She received a few strange looks and snickers from the other classmates, including a suspicious glare from Gill. Molly cleared her throat from the embarrassment and wrote, "It's your birthday?"She tried to make her writing seem much more calm than her outburst.

Chase silently chuckled. "Smooth."

"Are you sure it's your birthday? Maybe you just lost track of what day it is."

"Molly,it's Spring23rd. I think I would know when my own birthday is."

"Why didn't you tell me it was your birthday? How am I supposed to get you a present in such short notice?"

Chase shrugged. "I didn't want to make a big deal out of it. To me, it's just another day. I don't even want the presents."

"Well, you're still getting a present from me!" Molly drew a smiley face. Chase smiled, knowing that Molly actually wanted to get him a gift. He didn't really want any gifts, but it was flattering to know that someone wanted to make his birthday the slightest bit important.

He looked over at another table and saw Luke trying to land a spitball on Hayden. Angela was trying to stop him, but at the same time, she was desperately attempting to hold in her laughter. Chase turned back to the note and wrote, "Looks like they're having fun." He nodded at the couple.

Molly giggled quietly. "I think Angela told me they're dating now."

Chase's eyes became rounder and hesitated in his reply. "Are you serious?"

"Yep! As of yesterday."

He looked back at the happy couple. Chase predicted that Luke was definitely going to win the bet. He groaned when he imagined himself having to wear Julius' outrageous clothes. He really didn't want to wear anything mesh or see-though. At least Gill would have to wear the clothes with him. He laughed under his breath, imagining how flustered Gill would be in transparent clothes.

At lunch, everyone sat at their usual, round lunch table.

Bo finished eating his mushroom rice before calling Molly and Angela's attention. "Hey," he said, "Luke and I are supposed to start working on your house today after school."

"Yeah," Luke said. "If your brother is home right now, then my pops probably already started on it!"

Gill and Chase had a confused look on their faces. They had no idea what they were talking about.

"Thanks so much, guys!" Molly said.

"Molly? Do you think we should give the extra room to Kasey since he's going to be staying with us now and all?" Angela asked.

"No way! He can sleep on the couch!"

"Molly…"

Molly sighed. "Alright, fine! It sucks that we worked so hard for that room, and now we're just giving it to Kasey," she grumbled.

"Heya, everyone!" Maya skipped to their lunch table with Luna.

Luna let out a childish giggle and waved. Luna went over to Gill and wrapped her arms around him. Maya did the same with Chase. Both boys had an annoyed expression. Molly could taste venom in her mouth. Luke and Angela watched the scene with mild interest. Bo bowed his head down, blushing.

"We thought we'd come by and say hi!" Luna said, and then shot an evil glare at Molly.

"Then, why are you both hugging us?" Chase asked.

"Because we love you guys!" Maya said, rubbing her face on Chase's cheek. She looked down at Chase's lunch and quickly retreated her arms to pick up a fork. "Oooh! Can I have a bite?"

Chase grabbed her wrist before she could take his silverware. "A bite to you is a whole meal."

Maya blinked. "So, a nibble?"

"No!"

She stomped her foot. "You're so mean, Chase!"

Luna still had her arms around Gill. "Gill isn't mean," she said playfully. "Are you, Gill?"

"Can you please get off me?" Gill asked coldly.

Luna did so and crossed her arms. "That's so rude, Gill!"

Molly smirked. "At least he said 'please'."

"Hmph!" Luna gave her a death glare and stomped away from their table. It reminded Molly of a spoiled little girl that threw a tantrum because she didn't get her way.

Maya watched as her friend went back to sit with Candace and Julius. "Umm…I think you made her upset," she said to Gill and Molly.

"Eh, she'll get over it," Gill said.

Molly smiled to herself, remembering that she said the exact same thing about Luna to him during her visit at Town Hall.

After lunch, Luke walked Angela to her dance class. Selena saw the two and snorted. The class did their stretches to the rhythm of the booming music playing in the room.

"You know, I had fun last night with your brother," Selena taunted Angela. Angela tried to ignore her and focus on stretching her muscles. Selena continued, "And if you and your sister hadn't have been party poopers, we could've had even more fun."

"The only reason Kasey seemed to have fun was because he was drunk," Angela calmly said, trying to avoid a scene.

Selena felt insulted, but she didn't show it; she didn't want to appear weak to a girl like Angela. "I hear that you're going out with little Luke. Am I wrong?" Angela looked at her like she was an insect that was striking fatal weak spots at her prey. She turned away and nodded reluctantly. Selena made a snobby smile. "Hmm, we'll see how long that lasts, then."

After school, Molly and Angela went back to their farm and saw Dale working on their house.

"I thought I'd get a head start before Luke and Bo start to help me!" Dale said.

They thanked him and went inside. They searched the empty room. "Umm, where is Kasey?" Angela asked. They looked in their room, but he wasn't there either. They went back outside to ask Dale if he'd seen Kasey. He said he saw him wonder into the barn, so they went to look. They found him inside, stroking Brownie's chocolate brown fur. Angela smiled at the sight. "What are you doing in here?" she asked.

"I told you I would help you guys out, but I couldn't find your farming tools, so the best I could do was feed your cow," he explained. He pointed at Brownie's filled trough. "See?"

Molly was impressed. "I didn't think you were serious when you said that."

Kasey grinned. "I sure was!"

"Is your hangover gone or something?" Angela asked.

"Just a headache now."

"I guess I'll show you the tools and how to use them now," Molly said.

"Sweet!"

Molly showed him how to use the tools and how to farm while Angela chatted with Dale while he worked and soon along with Bo and Luke when they arrived.

"Hey, Kasey," Molly called when he was watering the rest of the dry crops. "I was thinking you'd want to come with me to Marimba Farm so that you can see where we buy our seeds and stuff. I have to get something there, anyways."

"Alright!"

When entering Marimba Farm's shop, Kasey stared in awe at all of the fruits and vegetables on display. He had never seen so much food in one place before. Kasey waited by the front door while Molly talked to Ruth at the counter. The front door opened beside him. It was a brown haired girl, struggling to carry a box of produce. The box was large and covered her face when trying to carry its mass. Kasey wondered if she could even see where she was going.

Kasey sighed and stepped up. "Here, lemme help you with that." He took the box from her before she could say a word and placed it on an empty table nearby. "There."

She smiled. "Wow, you're such a gentleman," she said. "Thank you so much! My name is Anissa. I work and live here with my parents." She did a polite bow. "I don't believe I've seen you around here before…"

"Oh, you haven't. I'm Molly and Angela's brother, Kasey. I'm gonna be staying with them for a while."

"Well, I have to go back out and harvest the rest of the fields. It was a pleasure meeting you."

Molly walked up beside Kasey with a basket of oranges in her hands, right in time to watch Anissa wave goodbye.

"Okay, I'll see you around." Kasey said, watching her leave.

"You know you're not allowed to go after her, right?" Molly asked, making it sound more like statement than a question.

Kasey rolled his eyes. "Do you really think I go after any girl that moves and breaths?"

She left the shop with Kasey following behind her. She started walking slowly towards Chase's house as she talked "Are you kidding me? I'm surprised you don't have five kids already!"

Kasey got serious. "Oh, no. I always protect myself."

Disgust took over Molly's face. "EW, EW, EW, EW!"

Kasey gasped when he realized what he said. "AHH, SORRY, SORRY!"

"Please don't ever talk about that with me! I'd like to keep it subtle!" Molly said.

"Right, sorry," Kasey exhaled. "Anyways, sorry to burst your bubble, but you're wrong about what you said earlier. I wasn't trying anything with that girl."

Molly was stunned. Kasey was just full of surprises that day. "But why not? She has to be the prettiest and nicest girl on this island. You don't think she's pretty?"

"No, I think she's pretty. I can tell just by the way she looks and talks that she's not into the kind of stuff I do, so why bother?"

Molly nodded. "By stuff you mean…"

Kasey laughed. "Yeah, that's what I meant. I was trying to be subtle for ya."

Molly smirked. "Well, it worked." She stopped once they were in front of Chase's house.

"What are we doing here?" Kasey read the name on the mailbox close to him. "Who is Chase? You have a boyfriend too?"

Molly blushed slightly. "No, he's just a friend. He's the chef at that bar you love so much. I'm only giving him his birthday present real quick, but you can go inside and meet him if you'd like."

"Nah, I'll just stay out here since you're only giving him something. I can meet him the next time I go to that bar. Just don't make me wait an hour out here."

Molly knocked on the front door and held out the fruit basket when Chase when opened the door. "Happy birthday!"

He chuckled and invited her inside. Chase gazed at the present like a child. "You got me oranges?"

She nodded. "I know how much you like them, and you can use them for whatever you can cook them with!"

Chase smiled broadly and accepted the gift. "Thanks, Molly!"

Molly was glad that he liked the present since she picked it out so suddenly. "You're welcome. So, how does it feel to be seventeen?"

Chase shrugged. "I don't feel any different. Maybe I will next year since I'll be an adult and be able to get married and stuff." Molly grinned slightly more then. Chase mentally slapped himself in the face for even thinking about getting married. He didn't want to scare her off. He cleared his throat and nervously changed the subject. "So, when is you and Angela's birthday?"

"Winter 21st."

Kasey sat outside of Chase's house, viewing the nature around him. You definitely couldn't find a beautiful place like this in the city. It was so natural. This made him feel much better about living with his sisters. He let his eyes wonder around Marimba Farm's massive field of colorful flowers. Then something brown and moving caught his eye. He squinted his eyes to see what it was. It was young Anissa's brown hair moving with her body as she harvested the ready flowers. He watched her as she transported several flowers into baskets. She seemed to be working hard yet showed no sign of distress. She walked out of the fields, holding many baskets on each arm. She didn't have a problem carrying them due to the flower's light weight. She exchanged a brief glance with Kasey before going back inside her family's shop.

** Thanks for reading!
Your reviews were so nice! I love reading them, so thank you. :)

Also, I have a new poll up on my profile.
It asks you which bachelor/bachelorette you want me to do a one-shot of. They will be paired with the main character of that game.
Of course I can't publish those one-shots yet because of that dumb error page but once I get it to go away I'll post them. **
