Chapter 11. Cleaning up

"Okay, guys, I got an idea," Jamie said. She gave both David and Miranda flyers and Miranda started cracking up.

"Yeah, right. I hope you sing good, 'cause I'm not doing this," David replied. Jamie rolled her eyes a little.

"You know she will. You just gotta find a good song, then it's all on the music... Besides, Edie once said you sing good on the shower" Miranda almost fell to the floor laughing and David blushed. Jamie smiled at him. "I'd suggest you start searching for a song... Good luck!" Jamie ran to her cheerleading practice and David and Miranda sat together on Study Hall.

"Okay, what's up with you and Craft?" Miranda asked. "He really, really, likes your sister and viceversa. You were just too wrapped up on Lizzie to realize it" David shook his head.

"I don't know. I guess I just had to let it all out and I took it with him..." David said. Miranda nodded. "I think I'll try talking to him after school"

"Good. Now, let's focus on Geometry 'cause we have a test in the next hour and I know nothing about it" David smiled and they both went back to their books.

Later, at Ethan's:

David knocked on Ethan's bedroom door. "Hey," he said. "Can I come in?"

"Sure," Ethan replied. David walked in.

"Look, I'm sorry for how I treated you, it's just-" Ethan held up his hand.

"I know. You're not the only one who talks to Miranda," Ethan replied. David nodded. "I can get why you're so upset, but still you had no reasons on doubting me... I mean, we've known each other forever! I think we're almost like brothers" David smiled.

"Almost, luckily," he said. "'Cause if we were real brothers, you would be doing something ilegal" Ethan smiled back and they hugged.

"The only problem is that your sister doesn't speak to me," Ethan replied. David was listening to the music Ethan had been listening to before. "Man?" David smiled again.

"I tell you what... I help you with my sister if you let me borrow that Cd," David said. "Deal?" they shook hands.

"Deal"


"Edie, could you listen to me for one second?" David pleaded from the closed door of his sister's room.

"Go away!" Edie yelled. David smiled.

"I'll stop bugging you if you look down by your window," David replied.

"What are y-?" Edie asked. Down, in their garden, there was Ethan with a tux and a bouquet of white roses. Edie smiled at him and he waved at her. Edie opened her bedroom door and stood face to face with her brother, who had a light-blue dress on his hands.

"This is for you to wear," David said. "I can cover you 'til 9 or something... that's about it" Edie nodded.

"You know I still hate you... but thanks," Edie said. She kissed his cheek, got back in her bedroom to change, then went down. David followed her, a small smile on his lips. Ethan smiled at Edie, then at David, and gave him the Cd.

"Enjoy," David said. "And if she doesn't spend the night here, I'll go hunt you down" They smiled, but Ethan knew that David was half-serious. Edie got into Ethan's car, waved at her brother and Ethan drove off.

"Why's he doing this?" Edie asked. Ethan smiled at her.

"He's trying to clean all the mess he has in his life," Ethan replied. "And I'd say he started pretty good" Edie smiled back and rested her head on Ethan's shoulder.

End of chapter.
