Chapter Six

A Movie And The Bet

"So what's the big deal Portman, you digging on my sis or what?" Tyler asked as the three boys waited outside the movie theater. Portman smirked slightly,

"You'd like that huh." Fulton arched a brow looking at the two boys.

"Actually no, I'd rather not see my sister date, but lucky for me. She doesn't. She puts it like this, I don't date, I don't enjoy involving myself with the neanderthalic teenage race," Tyler attempted to do his best Joe impersonation. Portman laughed and Fulton couldn't help but smile.

"Is she so uptight all the time?" Portman asked. Tyler nodded.

"Yea pretty much, she hasn't actually had friends since Italy, we've been around the area for about 4 months now, all summer practically. I feel bad for her though, so I've been kind of the only friend she's had," Tyler shrugged.

"Well it's good to be close to your family," Fulton nodded starring past Tyler to see Julie and Joe coming down the road.

"Well here they are the lucky ladies," Portman smiled putting himself in between the two girls and wrapping his arms around their shoulders.

"Lucky, need I show you what happened to the last man who called me lucky," Joe smirked ducking under his arms and pushing him in the chest lightly.

"Ouch I'm hurt, must you always resort to violence, you're breaking my heart Taylor," Portman pretended to clutch his heart and fall over.

"Funny Portman, real funny, but would you give the girl a break," Julie rolled her eyes smacking Portman in the back of the head.

"Ow," he groaned rubbing the back of his head.

"Cat Lady hits hard, I like," Tyler winked at Julie.

"Oh please," Joe pretended to make fake vomiting sounds and that cracked even Fulton up.

"So what flick we looking to see?" asked Julie as the five of them walked to the ticket booth.

"I was thinking scary flick, more like Boogie Man," Portman snickered winking at Joe. Joe rolled her eyes moving closer to Julie.

"I'm going to die.." she whispered to Julie. Julie stifled a laugh and looked to the boys,

"Fine Boogie man it is," Portman nodded. They bought their tickets and headed inside. The girls excused themselves to go to the restroom and left the boys standing by the refreshment counter. Portman was focused on watching their asses when they walked away.

"Dude that's my sister," Tyler looked to Portman in discuss.

"Well hate to break it to you Ty, but you're sister happens to be a regulation hottie," he smirked.

"Portman seriously, do you got the hots for Joe?" Fulton asked looking to his friend. Portman turned to him,

"What's it to you Fulton?" Fulton kind of shrugged then looked up,

"Well I'm just saying that I uh.." he stopped.

"You like her too," Tyler blurted out, "Are you kidding me you guys are killing me here." Tyler groaned as she turned to them.

"Really guys there are far more cuter girls out there like Julie for instance..take her she's absolutely gorgeous…"Tyler starred at her over by the drinking fountain.

"Ha good luck there Tyler, I hear Banksie has got the hots for her," Fulton patted Tyler's back.

"You mean the Cake-eater?" Tyler laughed.

"Yup none other," Portman nodded looking over to stare longingly at Joe.

"I bet you I can get her before Cake-eater even knows what's going on," Tyler smirked flashing a 20 on the counter.

"You're betting that you can get Julie to like you before Adam, hmm sounds intregging, I'm in on this deal," Portman planted a twenty there to.

"You in Fulton," Tyler asked then smirked, "or are you to busy daydreaming about my sister?"

"Wait I got an idea, throw in another stake to this, to see which bash brother lands the oh so beauteous Joe Taylor," Portman planted another twenty down smirking at Fulton.

"Guys I don't think that's such a good idea," Fulton shook his head.

"Ok then it's this, between me and Tyler, which of us lands the girl first wins," Portman smirked.

"You're on, you're so toast Portman," Tyler nodded.

"Sure man whatever you say. And when I win.; which I will, you get to run through the courtyard in nothing but your boxers…during first period," Portman snickered.

"You're on," Tyler nodded.

MEANWHILE…

"Are they staring over here again?" Joe asked as she took a drink of water.

"Yea they are, I think they're up to something…" Julie studied them.

"Great so we're in for a fun filled evening then aren't we," Joe sighed.

"Don't worry about it, I've got a plan. I called Charlie and Adam from in the bathroom, they're on the way." Julie smirked.

"Captain Duck and Banksie to the rescue!" they heard a voice and saw Charlie come around the corner smiling.

"What no Linda?" Julie asked arching a brow at Charlie.

"Unfortunately Linda has decided to no longer what was it, waste her time with an Neanderthal hockey player." Charlie shrugged.

"Wow sounds like you'd get along with her Joe," Julie laughed.

"What? Oh me, well I dunno, who's Linda?" Joe asked.

"Just the most anti- sports person I've ever met," Adam laughed looking to Julie.

"So Banks I see you made it out tonight," Julie smiled shyly at him.

"Yup, I always come to the rescue of a fair maiden," Adam smirked. Joe tapped her nails on the water fountain looking at the three Bash Brothers over there. Her gaze stopped on Fulton as she smiled slightly staring at his smile.

"You should talk to him," Charlie smirked looking at Joe.

"Uh who," Joe looked at the three pretending to be oblivious.

"Fulton, that's who," Julie smirked.

"Is it that obvious?" Joe turned to them.

"Yes, I'm afraid so," Adam nodded. Joe just nodded.

"Well the movie right?" Joe smiled. They all laughed and headed towards the Bash Brothers.

BACK WITH THE BASH BROTHERS..

"Dude, look who's here, Captain Ducky and Cake-eater," Portman smirked.

"Hey guys," Charlie said walking up with Joe, Julie, and Adam.

"Wow, you guys are at the movies too, what a concidence," Tyler eyed Adam slightly.

"Well yea, we're meeting the rest of the crew down here," nodded Adam.

"Well how ducky," Tyler snorted.

"Well then lets just go ahead and find our seats now, Ladies," Portman put himself in between Joe and Charlie and wrapped his arm around her shoulders practically dragging her with him. Tyler followed him in kind of grumbling something under his breath.

"Damnit I hate being short…" Joe thought to herself as she turned looking over his arm to the rest of the crew waiting there.

"I better go save her," Julie went after the three. Fulton stayed behind with Charlie and Adam just looking to the ground then sighing.

"Wow so Portman and Joe huh," Ken said as he approached just in time to see them walk in to the theater.

"More like a no, she doesn't like him," Adam rolled his eyes.

"She doesn't?" Fulton's head perked a bit.

"Wow someone seems a little too excited," laughed Russ.

"Shut up Russ, seriously Fulton if you like her, go for her," Charlie nodded to his friend.

"Y'all make this too complicated," Dwyanne shook his head.

"And Mr Cowboy is the love expert?" Russ looked to him. They saw Dwyanne staring at Connie and Guy as they were coming in.

"Guys just drop it ok, I don't want a big deal," Fulton shrugged.

"Yea lets just go watch Portman make an ass out of himself," Averman smirked.

"You're twisted Averman," Adam shook his head.

"Well we all got to be good at something.." Averman shrugged.
