(Stevie)

I'm freaking out right now. You know that girl in the movies that has to choose between two boys? You think her life is awesome because boys love her, but it's not. She has to break someone's heart, and that is not a good feeling inside. I needed to talk to someone. I would talk to my mom, but I already know what's going to happen.

"Hey mom? Can I talk to you about something?" I ask her.

"Do you have any meat on you?" she asks me.

"No." I reply.

"Then I don't want to hear it." she says and takes a nap.

There was only one thing to do in a situation like this. It was extreme, but I had to do what I had to do. Call Kacey. I pick up the phone and dial her number.

"Hello?" Kacey asks.

"Hey Kacey. Can I come over? I just need someone to talk to." I say.

"Sure, of course! Come right over!" she says.

"Thanks Kacey." I say, and I hang up. Time to go to the forbidden land.


I'm at Kacey's house. Wait. More like mansion. This place is huge. I go up to the door and ring the bell. The doorbell was... Complex looking. It was beautiful, but it was hard to work. Once I figured it out, I rang the doorbell.

"Please be the only rich thing here." I mumble to myself. The door handle shakes for a minute. I expect to see Kacey, but then I see an old man wearing a suit carrying a feather duster.

"Good evening Ms. Baskara." he says and bows.

"How do you know my name?" I ask him.

"Ms. Simon told me to expect your arrival this evening." he says.

"Oh... Okay. Um... So are you Kacey's gramps or something?" I ask him.

"I am not her grandfather. I'm more of her butler, but she thinks of me as a very funny grandfather." he says. Kacey has a butler? And he's supposed to be funny?

"Alright. Can I come in... Uh..."

"Charles." he says.

"Okay. Can I come in this gigantic and beautiful mansion Charles?" I ask him. After that, he simply bows and let's me in.

"Oh my Gandhi. This place is huge!" I blurt. The ceiling is who knows what high, and there is a lot of antique furniture, but it looks modern looking at the same time. Everything was flawless, but I wasn't used to this kind of lifestyle. Kacey suddenly comes up to me from somewhere I can't remember.

"Stevie," Kacey says coming up to give me a hug. "How do you like my house?" she says. I scan the place and it's breathtaking.

"The mansion is huge, and you have a butler! I'm not used to this sort of stuff Kacey." I say sheepishly and then look at the ground.

"Then you'll love my room!" she says happily and she leads me up some stairs. It was a long journey. I crouch down to one of the steps of the stairs.

"Can't. Breathe. Must stop." I say panting. Kacey tries to get me up.

"Come on Stevie! It's not like you are climbing a mountain." she says trying to get me o move again. In a way, I kind of was.


Once I'm finally up the stairs, I approach Kacey's door. It's pink and sparkly. That is not a good sign. The door was already blinding enough. Just imagine what lies behing the door. Besides the sparkles, the door is huge and it has a keypad. Probably a lock just for Kacey. Kacey presses some random digits in the keypad, and the door opens. I look inside. Just as I expected, it was every dream girl's bedroom. There was a hot tub, and there was a gigantic revolving closet in the corner. There was a shoe rack right next to it full of sneakers, flats, and every shoe you could ever imagine. There was bubblegum pink wall paper, but one wall of the room was glass. Behind the glass was pink gumballs. It was a gigantic bubblegum machine in a wall. There was tons of other stuf I couldn't describe. It looked breathtaking. Kacey jumps on her pink bed.

"So... What do you think?" she asks me. I just stutter.

"I'm going to take that as a yes." she says and then motions me to sit next to her.

"So what did you want to talk about?" she asks me.

"I have this friend-"

"It's Molly isn't it." Kacey says.

"Wait. How did you know what I was going to say?" I ask her.

"Um... Never mind. Please continue." she says.

"Since you probably know what I'm talking about, I'll just tell you what happened. Molly told me that I have to be with Max. If I be with Zander, she'll ruin Gravity 5. If I be with Max, she'll leave us alone, but I'm not sure what's going to happen to Zander." I explain.

"Who do you like?" she asks me.

"I don't know. Well, I thought I liked Max, but then he only hung out with me because of the Perfs. Zander... He's complicated." I say.

"What do you think about Zander? Do you like him?" she asks me. She was starting to act like a therapist.

"What? No? I mean, we've been best friends forever. He's been really kind and sweet to me. He sang me that song. That made my heart skip a beat." I say.

"So you hate him then?" Kacey asks me.

"No. I like him, but if I be with him, Gravity 5 will be ruined. Molly will spread rumors about us all over school and stuff." I say slumping down.

"I'm guessing you like Zander." Kacey says.

"I really want to be with Zander, but Molly will ruin Gravity 5. I always put my band first over boys. You know that Kacey." I say.

"I've always wanted to be the girl in a love triangle. It's almost every girl's dream. It sounds exciting having boys like you." she says.

"It's not as fun as you think Kacey. Being the girl in the middle is one of my worst nightmares. You have to break someone's heart, and then you wonder if you made the right choice." I say.

"That is deep. Being in a love triangle can break someone's heart, but it sounds great. Everything will be okay Stevie." Kacey says.

"Everything won't be okay. This is not a fairytale Kacey. It doesn't play out for the villain to lose." I say.

"I'll talk to the guys. I'll see what they think." Kacey says.

"Please don't do that." I beg her.

"Fine." she says.

"Thanks. I got to go. The only problem is how I'm going to get out-"

"CHARLES!" Kacey yells.

"Yes Ms. Simon?" Charles says.

"Please escort Ms. Baskara outside." Kacey says all formal like. Like the lady on the operator of your phone or something like that.

"Yes Ms. Simon." he says. Great. I just link my arm in his, and we leave.

"Sup Charlie?" I ask him trying to get him to smile.

"Nothing much Ms. Baskara." he says smiling a little.

"Call me Stevie." I say.

"Sure Ms. Stevie."
