"Flank to the right!" Adam sat on his couch in the basement playing a marathon of halo 4 online. "What are you doing?" Chips and soda were all over the coffee table with crumbs following in suit on the couch. "That's right fall into my trap." Drew made his way downstairs hearing all the commotion that was coming from the direction. He raised an eyebrow as he saw Adam in his messy state. "Aw! Come on!"

"Adam what is going on with you?" Drew said coming around the couch to stare at the sight before his eyes. "I'm in a heated battle right now can't talk." Adam said not taking his eyes off the TV reaching down to shove more chips into his mouth. "Well that's attractive." Drew said but Adam was to busy not listening to him. Drew looked back at the TV where loud explosions and shooting was coming from. "Oh cool is this level five?"

"Try level eight." Adam said with a mouthful of chips. Drew sat down next to his brother and watched the screen smiling before shaking his head back into focus. "Wait I'm not down here to encourage you." Drew stood up and pointed his finer at Adam. "You've been down here for days." He then pointed to Adam's food stained shirt. "Have you even changed that shirt?" Adam shook his head and gobbled up another handful of food. Drew put his hands on his hips and looked at his brother. Adam was too deep into his game rapidly pushing buttons. "That's it." Drew walked over and pressed the power button to the gaming system. "HEY! I DIDN'T SAVE IT!" Adam said with yet another mouthful of chips with crumbs flying out of his mouth. "You need to stop this behavior and get back to school."

"I'm not feeling it."

"Adam you've been down here for almost a week. Not to mention Becky and Imogen keep calling the house looking for you. What is going on?"

"I'm avoiding situations."

"What situations?" Adam took off his headset and set it down onto the coffee table with his controller. "After Imogen told Becky about the summer fling thing I worked things out with Becky and left and then saw Imogen upset asked her what was wrong and then she told me she still liked me and wanted to be with me." Drew had a shocked look on his face. "Yeah, I have non stop drama. It seems like hitting a tree on full impact releases more drama than normal. I think it was some kind of demon tree." Drew laughed and moved to sit down on the couch. "Coming from someone who juggled two girls at once I'm going to give you a little brotherly advice." Adam smiled and looked attentively up to his brother. "Avoiding both of them is the worst possibly thing that you can do right now. You love Becky don't you?"

"More than anything."

"Then you have to tell Imogen."

"But I don't want to hurt her feelings."

"She's understanding she will eventually get over it and you guys can be friends again."

"Becky doesn't even want us to be in the same room."

"Becky's will have to understand you have friends. You just need to be firm with her. It's you senior year Adam. This is the time of your life. Spend it with the girl that you love and the friends that you love so much. Stop hiding away in a basement with chips hoping they will go away on their own." Adam realized that Drew was right. He needed to get back to school and set these girls right. "We still have a whole other semester to get through. I'm not saying there's going to be any less drama but at least you can keep yours under control." Adam smiled at his brother. "You know I think you becoming president made you wiser." Drew laughed with his brother. "I'll take that as a compliment. Now get off your butt." Drew stood up and grabbed Adam's chips. "Hey!"

"I'm confiscating these." Drew tossed a chip into his mouth and started back up the stairs. "One more thing, take a shower you smell like rotting cheese." Drew vanished upstairs. Adam leaned over and smelled himself pulling back with a disgusted face.

Becky walked through the halls nervously looking around. She made a sharp turn at the corner and saw what she was looking for. She paused and smiled before marching right up to the locker. "Where have you been?" The locker closed and Adam smiled at her. "Hiding in my basement."

"I've left voicemails and texts."

"I turned my phone off."

"I called your house."

"I know…"

"Will you tell me what's going on?"

"Ok after I talked with you about what happened with Imogen I saw her run out of the gym looking really sad. We talked and she said she still liked me." Becky furrowed her eyebrows and clenched her jaw. "I knew it."

"Becky."

"What?"

"It's ok?"
"How is that ok?"

"Because I don't like her back." Becky smiled at Adam as he smiled back. "I only like you. I only want to be with you. I will never look in another direction. I'm not interested." Adam smiled as Becky leaned in and kissed him. She did was she always did putting her hands on his neck to deepen the kiss. They broke apart when they heard a teacher coughing to get their attention. Becky's cheeks turned red as Adam laughed in response. "I love you ok?" Becky nodded, "I love you too." Adam grabbed her arm and walked down the hall. "I'm going to tell Imogen that I just want to be friends."

"Adam…" Adam was to wrapped up in his conversation to notice what was coming towards him.

"Look I know you don't want us to be friends but Imogen and I have been friends for a while and I like being her friend and I don't think you should have say on who should be my friends."

"No Adam," Becky hit him to get his attention and pointed down the hallway. "Look." Adam turned his head to see a familiar face.

Adam paced back and forth in the basement while Drew through a baseball up in the air and caught it. "How could this happen? I mean at the worst possible time. Things are finally ok and I just guess that the universe was like oh Adam your life is going good ok wait one second while I throw something else at you. I mean who does that? Drew are you even listening to me!?" Drew rolled his eyes and caught the baseball. He looked at his brother and laughed. "You're really stressing out to much about this."

"Am I?"

"Yes."

"How would you like it if it happened to you?"

"Well it won't because Bianca is in college and is only coming home for Christmas."

"This is just such crap."

"Boys! Dinner!" Audra called from upstairs making Drew get off the couch. "You need to just calm down. You're getting crazy again and I don't want you crashing your car into anything else."

"Ha ha." Adam said dryly as they walked up the stairs. "I need to do something." Adam said as they entered the kitchen. Audra listened in. "Do something about what?"

"Adam's freaking out again over Becky." Adam shot Drew a death glare as they both sat down with Audra. "Where's dad?" Drew said to Audra. "He's dealing with a client he wont be home until late tonight. Adam stop worrying you know what it does to you."

"It's still not fair."

"If your so worried about it you should just find a way to keep her over so you can keep an eye on her twenty four seven." Drew said jokingly as he took a bite of his dinner. A light bulb went off in Adam's head. "Drew your genius!" He said standing up from the table making Audra and Drew stare at him. "I'll go call her now." Adam ran off up to his room. "Adam!" Audra yelled after him but it was too late Adam was gone. She looked at Drew who shrugged his shoulders and gulped down his drink.

Adam unhooked his phone from his charger and dialed Becky's number. It rang five times before she answered giggling. "Hello?"

"Hey."

"Hi." Adam could hear laughing in the background. "What's going on over there?"

"Nothing we were just about to sit down to eat."

"Speaking of eating I have a proposition for you."

"Yes?"

"Come over tomorrow for dinner."

"Tomorrow?"

"Yes."

"Adam I don't know."

"It's about time you repay me for having to go to dinner with your parents the first day started going out." Becky laughed into the phone and Adam smiled. "Ok I'll come over right after rehearsals."

"Yes!" Becky laughed as Adam smiled. "I have to go."

"Ok. See you tomorrow. I love you."

"I love you too Adam." Adam waited for Becky to hang up until he through his arms into the air for victory. He then plunged onto his bed looking up to the ceiling.

"Look." Becky said as they stopped. Adam looked in the direction of Becky's eyes. His smile quickly vanished and he let go of Becky's hand. The person approached them and stopped to hug Becky, "Hey Becky long time no see."

"Todd."
