Chapter 12

It was kind of a slow day for Mike and Amanda, Mike was sitting on the bed playing with his phone and Amanda was sitting on the dresser legs crossed reading a book. "I am so bored". Mike finally said in their silence falling back onto the bed dramatically. "Yea me too, even though this book is good". Amanda said looking up at Mike as he sat up then going back to reading her book. "I didn't know you wore glasses?". Mike said surprised gesturing toward her black crystal framed glasses as Amanda looked up from her book again and smirked. "There are a lot of things you don't know about me, Mike". Amanda said flirtatiously with a wink as she went back to her book.

Mike looked taken back for a minute before he replied back. "Oh well tell me more because believe me, I want to know everything". Mike said flirtatiously back as Amanda looked up from her book raising her eyebrow as she sat her book down on the stand. "Oh really". Amanda said smirking as he walked closer to her and putting his hands on either side of her on the dresser and just as they leaned closer the door opened, Mike and Amanda quickly pulled away as Mrs. Johnson came through the door.

"Oh heyyy...Mrs. Johnson". Mike said awkwardly rubbing his neck as his face was red as well as Amanda's as he grabbed Amanda's hand helping her off the dresser. "Oh I'm sorry was I interrupting something?". She asked equally embarrassed as Mike and Amanda. "N-no…No um what did you need?". Amanda asked stuttering as her and Mike walked over to Mrs. Johnson.

"Well I have a problem…I just got this new phone to y'know to update and not be like an old person and I can't seem to learn how to set the background, could you kids please help the old woman out?". Mrs. Johnson said giggling as Amanda and Mike smiled at her. "Sure". Amanda said as Mrs. Johnson thanked them before taking out an Iphone out of her pocket.

"Oh that's the same phone I have, I can help you". Amanda said as she handed her the phone and smiled. I was hoping my little Amanda bear could help. Mrs. Johnson thought as Amanda showed her how to set the background.

"So which picture do you want as your background?". Amanda showing her all the pictures on her phone as she pointed to one picture of a man dressed in a tux, a women in a wedding dress, and a little girl holding the man's hand while the other held a teddy bear as Amanda set it and gave her back her phone. "You know I couldn't help but notice that, in that picture those people looked very familiar and not to sound crazy or anything so did the bear". Amanda said out loud but mainly to herself as she thought some more a voice interrupted her.

"Oh that picture was taken when I was married that was my husband and my little girl but she's older now about your age". Mrs. Johnson said with a sort of mysterious look that neither Mike nor Amanda didn't miss. "Oh well that's a nice picture". Amanda said deciding to let it go as Mrs. Johnson smiled as she made her way out the door.

"That was…weird". Mike said as Amanda nodded her head in agreement before replying. "Isn't she always". She said and this time it was Mike's turn to nod his head in agreement. They both were in silence for a while before the door cracked open again. "Excuse me but there is a person by the name of Allison out in the lobby that says she knows you". The man from the front desk said pointing to Amanda as Mike gave him a confused look.

"Sorry but we don't know any-". Mike started but Amanda cut him off smiling an excitement. "Omg yes! Let her in!". Amanda screamed and Mike gave once again turned to her giving her a confused look as the man smiled before hurrying out. "Whose….Allison?". Mike asked but before she could answer someone came running through the door almost tackling Mike making him quickly step out of the way.

"Amanda!". Allison screeched really big excitement in her voice smiling as Amanda replied back. "Allison!". Amanda screeched back as they both hugged. "Ahhhh...". They both started screaming before cut them off ears covered. "Guys!". Mike yelled over their screams and they both immediately stopped their screaming as they turned to him arms crossed and killers glares. Mike visibly gulped as he started talking.

"I-I mean girls". Mike stuttered out chuckling nervously as they both gave him a knowing look before they turned back to each other and Mike sighed in relief. Two girls in the room with one guy is not a good idea…well actually it is but I don't believe in that stuff. Mike thought as he joined in their very intense conversation.

"So...Amanda whose your hot male friend over here?". Allison said jokingly as Amanda giggled but looked at her in confusion. "I thought you knew my 'hot' male friend already". Amanda said smiling as Allison raised an eyebrow looking Mike up and down. "Well...he does look familiar…". Allison trailed when suddenly her eyes went wide.

"What is your last name!?". She yelled looking shaken and surprised as Mike smirked. "Let me give you a hint 'If you don't do what I tell you I will tell the whole school including Amanda about a pizza face geek like you having a crush on the non-pizza face flawless Amanda McKay the most popular girl in school'". Mike said glaring with a fake girly accent as Allison rolled her eyes and Amanda's eyes went wide.

"Wait!, Who? What? When? Where, and How?". Amanda asked confusion in her voice as Mike and Allison both looked at her before turning back to each other. "Do you want to tell her?". Mike asked sarcasm in his voice but he didn't wait for her to reply before talking.

"Well it all started in 5th grade when Allison Parker here found out or more like listened in on me and Owen's conversation when we were talking about my crush on you…". Mike trailed off glaring at Allison before turning back to Amanda and speaking. "But to sum it all up she blackmailed me and I had to do whatever she wanted and I mean EVERYTHING…". Mike cringed. "Until she moved away and I was released from the bear cage". Mike said laughing as Allison glared but turned back to Amanda.

"Why haven't I heard about you hanging around with Mike the tike". Allison said laughing this time as Mike laughed sarcastically and Amanda looked flustered for a second. "Well sure I did…don't you remember when I was telling you about how cool it is to have two guys being my best friend…". Amanda trailed off trying to hint her but she just gave her a confused look as she kept going.

"One is like my overprotective brother and the other one is like my overprotective jealous boyfriend…". Amanda trailed off again but Allison raised an eyebrow as Amanda groaned. "The overprotective jealous boyfriend one is cute and his name is Mike Fukunaga". Amanda said as Allison's face showed realization before she gave Amanda a disgusted look.

"How could you be friends with this 'Dirty Sewer Rat' let alone be best friends with him". Allison said as Amanda gasps at her words before speaking. "Allison!". Amanda yelled in total shock as Allison shrugged and responded. "What?, it's the truth". She said and Amanda was about to say something before Mike cut her off. "No its okay Amanda...I mean come on Allison you don't hear me complaining about her hanging out with you". Mike said as they both gave him confused looks.

"What?". Amanda and Allison said at the same time with a raised eyebrow as Mike smirked.

"Yea I mean, she didn't get her rabies shots yet". Mike said like it was the most obvious thing in the world and he chuckled. "Mike!". Amanda yelled at him as he shrugged his shoulders.

"What I thought it was funny". Mike said still laughing his head off as Allison punched him in the arm and he immediately shut up. "Ow! You punch almost as hard as Amanda!". Mike yelled holding his arm as both girls laughed at his unmanliness as they started to talk again and Mike just sat down again playing on his phone.

*10 Minutes Later*

"Ugh! I'm bored again so…let's go". Mike said as he took Amanda's hand and started walking towards the door before Amanda pulled her hand back and looked at him curiously. "Uh Mike…where are we going to go?". Amanda asked crossing her arms as Mike thought then smiled at her. "Well me and you can go down to the gym and you can watch me workout with my shirt off". Mike said his grin growing wider as Amanda looked down blushing.

"How would that be fun for me?". Amanda asked looking at him as he raised an eyebrow in disbelief of her sentence. "Come on, you know it would be really fun for you…and anyway I didn't hear a 'No'". Mike said as Amanda's face turned redder. He would look so sexy shirtless and sweating I would just…No! Amanda focus, self-control. Amanda thought to herself as someone interrupted her thoughts.

"Um…Ok…that was weird". Allison said as all three of them walked out the room door and they looked at her confused. "W-what do you mean?". Amanda asked a little nervous of what her reaction would be if she found out that her and Mike were dating. "Well it almost seemed like you and naughty…the smurf was flirting in there". Allison said in full confusion then snorted when she saw the shocked look Mike gave her for calling him a 'Smurf' before Mike smirked and started to speak.

"Oh and by the way I'm not Amanda's best friend...I'm her boyfriend". Mike said then burst out laughing as her eyes went wide and her mouth dropped. "What!". Allison yelled turning from Mike to Amanda as Amanda looked down in silence but both Mike and Allison could see her blushing. "Amanda?...". Allison trailed off and Amanda looked up at her nervously as they all walked out of the hotel with no destination in mind.

"Ok yes he is my boyfriend…I mean anyway I didn't know you guys were 'Mortal Enemies for Life', I'm sorry but...I love him". Amanda confessed as she could see Mike smirking in the corner of her eye. "Yes it is I, her kind, loving, and might I add SEXY boyfriend". Mike said as Amanda turned to him raising her eyebrow. "I never said you were sexy". Amanda said smiling as Mike raised his eyebrow.

"So you don't think I'm sexy?". Mike asked in a flirtatious voice and he moved closer to her as she visibly gulped and lightly moaned. "M-maybe I-". Amanda stuttered out but got cut off as she turned around to an angry voice. "AMANDA!, how could you do this to me!?. Allison yelled and Mike took Amanda's hand as Amanda smiled sheepishly and Allison Gagged. "Like they always say...all is fair in love and war, you can't fight love Allison...the heart wants what the heart wants". Mike said nodding his head as he wiped fake tears from his eyes as he smirked slyly and Amanda mouthed 'sorry' towards her knowing it was all true what he said.

"I think I'm gonna puke". Allison said referring to how 'Lovey Dovey' they were being together which only made Mike's smirk just get wider. "Then go ahead, you can puke all you want but you still won't change what we have". Mike said as Allison got over her shocked stage and now she was smiling which creeped Mike out as he raised an eyebrow. "You know I guess this is a win, win situation because I can do this". Allison said and Mike looked really confused now. "What?". Mike asked but she just smirked as she turned to Amanda.

"So Amanda...remember last year when you dated that really superhot football player, I think his name was...Cameron". Allison said smirking trying to push Mike's nerves and Amanda grew nervous as she slowly looked over to Mike who shrugged. "So what, I don't care...because she's with me now". Mike said as he wrapped his arm around Amanda but both girls knew he was trying to control his temper but Allison continued to talk.

"Well...don't you remember when you guys were about to DO IT in the closet at the party at Jake's house last year". Allison said as Amanda's eyes went wide and Mike slowly unwrapped his arm from her shoulders and moved away from her as he started turning red, his fist clenching so hard they were white, and he was shaking violently. Now Allison's eyes were wide as she looked at his figure shaking.

"Whoa! Your boyfriend looks really mad, like he could kill". Allison said wide eyed as Amanda looked over to her. "Yea I've never saw him this mad before". Amanda said as they both slowly made their way towards him. "Why would you say that, me and Cameron would never do that together". Amanda said trying to calm Mike down as Allison looked at her sarcastically.

"Oh yea that's right I forgot he was pressuring you". Allison said and Mike's face turned red his fist turning whiter. "HE WAS!, and anyway you are not helping". Amanda said as Allison put her hands up in surrender. Ok Mike get a hold of yourself you're in the presence of two girls who are extremely close to you. Mike thought to himself then took a deep breath as he relaxed then looked up at them guilty. "I'm sorry…Amanda…". Mike said as they finally started walking out of the hotel.

"Mike are you sure you're okay?". Allison asked surprising Amanda and Mike then he smirked. "Of course I'm okay, you little baboon". Mike said laughing as Allison glared at him before speaking. "I don't know why I even try being nice to you, messed up at birth". Allison fired back laughing as Amanda stifled her giggles as Mike turned to her shocked. "Amanda!". Mike yelled shocked as Amanda kept laughing but responded.

"I-I'm S-sorry M-mike". Amanda said through laughs as Allison laughed along. Soon the laughs died down and both girls continued a conversation. "So…did you meet anybody here yet?". Amanda asked as Allison started to think to herself before replying. "Not that I can remember…Ohh but I did meet this really, really cute guy in the lobby that asked me out!". Allison shrieked as both she and Amanda started squealing excitedly. "Oh My Gosh, what is his name and on a scale from one to ten how cute is he!". Amanda screamed as Mike frowned as he looked at her. "Um…Amanda why would you, sweetie?". Mike asked through clenched teeth but Amanda just swatted him away as they continued talking.

"Well his name is Flint Forester and for the cute part let's just say he's everything and more!". Allison screamed and they both started screaming not caring about by passers looking at them weirdly. "WOW he must be really cute and…wait did you just say Flint?". Amanda asked as Mike and her looked at Allison wide eyed as she raised her eyebrow and nodded.

"Yea…do you guys know him?". Allison asked and Amanda and Mike both nodded their heads before Mike spoke. "Yes, yes we do and more than we would like to…Flint Forester". Mike said as you could practically hear the anger in his voice. "That's my name don't wear it out". Someone said behind them as they all stopped walking and turned around to come face to face with Flint who started walking closer to them making Mike protectively wrapped his arm around Amanda pulling her closer.

"Although, You two can wear it out anytime and…". Flint trailed looking down to his towards his 'friend' before continuing. "…And anywhere if you know what I mean". He said raising his eyebrows up and down smirking mischievously as Mike's face reddened. "What do you want Flint?". Mike asked aggressively his grip tightening around Amanda but not enough to hurt her as Flint's grin just got wider.

"Oh don't worry Mikey I'm not here to start any trouble…". Flint said pausing as Mike glared at him for using his 'nickname' before continuing. "I'm just here to invite you all to my party today at 8:00 don't be late or you'll miss my big entrance, now I've got to go invite some more ladies". Flint said winking at Amanda before turning around and walking away as they all stood there shocked. "Did he just invite us or matter of fact me to his party?". Mike asked completely shocked as they turned around and started walking the opposite direction Flint went.

"Yep, and I am super excited, I LOVE parties even if it is Flint's". Amanda said as Mike nodded his head and shrugged. "Yea…I guess it could be fun". Mike said and Amanda nodded excitedly before shouting 'Yes' very dramatically as Mike looked at her weirdly. "Why'd you do that? You know you don't need my permission". Mike said and Amanda looked at him in disbelief and even Allison did.

"Mike, me and you both know you wouldn't let me go to that party by myself with boys swarming all over the place". Amanda said and Allison nodded her head in agreement as Mike chuckled smiling. "You know me so well". He said taking her hand and lacing their fingers together as Amanda laughed. "Shut up". She said jokingly then everything fell into silence before Amanda broke it.

"So…Allison are you going to the party with us tonight?". Amanda asked her as Allison turned to her with a shocked look on her face. "Of course I am, he's so hot and sexy I can't wait to get my hands on him". Allison said with a dreamy look in her eye as Amanda looked at her weirdly this time. "You still like him? even after he flirted with another guy's girl and practically every girl here". Amanda asked in disbelief as Allison quickly nodded her head.

"Yes if anything I like him more, I like him still because its just harmless flirting…I mean wouldn't it be cool if you could just go up to a random guy and flirt with him while your boyfriends sitting right there". Allison said and Amanda just stared at her in skepticism but she could feel Mike tense and she turned around to see him looking very frightened as she put her hand on his bicep rubbing it.

"Don't worry Mike I won't try to change you or break up with you for a guy like that…". Amanda trailed off before turning toward Allison. "…it's disgusting". Amanda finished as Allison shrugged in response. "Hey, you have your hobbies, I have mine". Allison said and Amanda nodded her head in agreement.

"So…what are we going to do in the mean time before the party?". Allison asked as a light bulb went off in Mike's head.

"I know this carnival about 10 minutes from here, we could walk". Mike said as both girls nodded in agreement. "Sure…just try not to scare the kids alright". Allison said smiling as Mike gave her a sarcastically look. "Oh yea I'll try not to but if I do I'll just show them something funny, do you wanna see it?". Mike asked and Allison raised her eyebrows but nodded her head anyway as Mike smirked.

"Look in the mirror"

*7:58, At the party*

Mike, Amanda, and Allison were by the punch bowl talking and just watching people dance, bopping their heads to the music. "You know Amanda, you really look beautiful tonight!". Mike yelled over the music referring to Amanda's dress she wore a black sash and pink tulle strapless dress with black heels, as Amanda smiled shyly. "Well thank you Mike, you look very handsome tonight". Amanda said smiling referring to Mike who was wearing an all black button up shirt with the sleeves rolled up and a skinny black tie, black skinny jeans, and black Sw1 skate shoes from supra.

Mike smiled and winked at her as she blushed in response, then Mike's eyes traveled over towards Allison who was standing silently checking out boys who walked by and Mike sighed when he actually for once got her attention as she raised her eyebrows at him suspiciously. "As much as I hate to admit it, and I really do, you look pretty good tonight too". Mike said saying the last part through clenched teeth like it was hard to get out referring to her dress as she was wearing a pink sash and white tulle strapless dress.

Allison smiled at the compliment. "Well that's a first, thanks for the compliment Mike". Allison said as Mike sighed rolling his eyes in the process. "Yea, yea, don't get used to it". Mike said shoving his hands in his pockets as something vibrated in his pockets he took his phone out. Huh, unknown number. Mike thought but pressed the talk button anyway.

"Hello?". Mike asked raising an eyebrow but as the voice spoke it sent chills down his spine. "We meet again Mike". The voice said and Mike's eyes narrowed. "What the fudge do you want!?". Whispered/yelled into the phone excusing himself from the girls and walking out into the hall.

"You know what I want, I want my daughter!". The voice yelled into the phone as Mike got angrier. "Well you can't have her, you never will, you lost her!". Mike yelled as the voice chuckled and Mike raised an eyebrow. "That's where you're wrong…I'm here Mike…don't be surprised, I'm watching you, Amanda, and her little friend so which one should I take out first…". The voice said laughing as Mike's eyes went wide as he quickly dropped the phone running back into the ball room.

"Amanda!".
