"Oh, um, Stacey..just..asked if um..anyone was coming over today," Laura hesitated.


Matt raised his eyebrows. "Are you sure?"


Laura laughed nervously. "Yes I'm sure!"


"Okayyy.." Matt said, still not convinced. "Where's your brother?"


"I think he's in his room. I'm not sure though,"


"Okay, thanks," Matt said, and headed upstairs to Frankie's room. When he got to the door he heard voices from inside, and didn't knock right away.


"But Frankie! I want to go!" he heard a voice say.


"NO!" Frankie yelled loudly. Then he quieted his voice and said, "No, you can't go. Why is it you're always wanting to hang around me and my friends? You have your own friends, go somewhere with them!"


Matt didn't want to be rude and listen in on the conversation, so he knocked, and Frankie opened the door, thinking it was either Laura or one of his parents.


"Oh, hey Matt," he said.


"Hey, Frankie..and..hey again, Stace," he said, as he noticed me inside the room.


"URGH!" I screamed and ran out of the room.


"What's with your sister?" Matt asked.


"I don't know, I wouldn't let her come to rehearsal today, and now she's mad at me." Frankie replied.


"Why does she all of a sudden want to come to rehearsals?" Matt asked.


Frankie scoffed. "Don't ask me,"


"Why don't you just let her come, so you guys don't stop speaking like the LAST time you got into a fight?"

"No, I don't want her everywhere with me,"


"Well, just..nevermind,"


"Are you ready to go?"


"Yeah, I'm waiting for you,"


"Oh, sorry," Frankie said and he and Matt left.


As they were walking down the stairs, Matt said, "Hey, Frankie, I'll be right back, alright? I have to..um..go to the bathroom,"


"Okay, I'll meet you downstairs," Frankie said.
