A/n: Wow. I can't believe how many reviews I've gotten for this thing. I would give you all individual shout outs but I don't do that sort of stuff until the final chapter. Thanks anywho! You all rock.

Chapter 3: The Bigger Brother house.

One by one the thirteen children walked down the red carpet, waving and smiling (And Logan blew kisses) Zoey had to go last because her name began with a 'Z'. She often wondered why her parents had had to name her Zoey, why not Allyson? Or Abigail? Or Alex? She followed the other strangers into the large white house, climbing the metal stairs. Flash bulbs glittered behind her stars in the dark. It was nearly 11pm already and the sky was pitch black.
"Logan?" She called up front. Logan stopped and allowed everyone else to go ahead.
"What?" He asked, very aware that the cameras were on them.
"I'm nervous." She said sounding incredibly frightened.
"Don't be." Logan said. "They're just kids." He held her hand as he walked her in.

On the table lay a giant purple envelope.
"Our first task as Big Brother housemates!" Squealed a girl.
"BIGGER brother." Corrected another girl. She shrugged. She opened the envelope.
"Welcome Bigger Brother contestants. Your first task as a group is to introduce yourselves to one another. You must do this using a circle game-of-truths." She said holding up a bottle.
"What's a game of truths?" Logan asked in confusion.
"It's truth or dare," Said a boy. "Without the dares."
"Where's the fun in that!" Logan complained. "The whole point of Truth or Dare is to kiss the cute girls." One of the girls raised her eyebrows.
"And you'll say that infront of your girlfriend?" She asked skeptically.
"He doesn't have a girlfriend." Zoey filled in.
"Oh, then why are you holding his hand?" She asked raising her eyebrows and staring at their hands which, were still interlocked. Zoey dropped his hand as though it was on fire.
"Ash! Leave them alone!" Snapped another girl. "Hi I'm Devonny, that's my identical twin Ash… well Aislin (Aislin is pronounced Ash-Lynn) but she's the nasty one." Aislin stuck her tongue out at Devonny.

"Okay!" Said the peppy girl. "We should start by saying our names and our names only. Then we enter into the game."
"We'll go clockwise?" Suggested Devonny.
"We're the O'Connor twins. I'm Aislin… but you can call me Ash." Aislin said with a shrug. She had long ginger hair and cat-like green eyes.
"I'm Devonny… You CAN call me Devon but I prefer Devonny." Devonny said politely. She looked inseparable from her twin. They were identical to every last freckle… so to speak. Both girls had heavy Irish accents.
"You call her Dev and you die." Laughed Ash.
"I'm Natalie Ramos." Said a dark haired girl. She looked around the circle nervously. She laid her beautiful brown eyes on Logan and turned a deep crimson. Logan smirked at her and winked. She smiled. Zoey rolled her eyes.
"I'm Zoey Brooks…" There was a long pause. "Logan! Stop making googly eyes at the girls and introduce yourself!" She snapped. Logan glowered at her.
"Shut up Zo. I'm Logan Reese… yes THE Logan Reese." He continued to 'make googly eyes' at Natalie… although she was really the one making googly eyes, he was more flirting with good grace.
"I'm Honey Harper." Said the girl besides Logan. She had tonnes of honey coloured curls and wide blue eyes. She looked a little like an Angel from a children's faerie tale. (A/n: Don't give me some lecture about the spelling of Faerie… I'm Irish that's how we spell it!)
"Hi, I'm Monica... Monica Johnson." Said the girl beside Logan. She looked to be about fifteen but her eyes gave her away. She was younger than she looked, probably closer to thirteen. She had the most amazing dark wavy hair that was really long. Zoey wondered if she'd do her own hair for her one time. She fingered her straight blonde hair and sighed. Why was her hair so lame?

"Hallo. I'm Ciaron… and forgive me for noticing but uh… Zoey's playing with her hair." Zoey looked up at him in confusion.
"I'm sorry but uh…" She shrugged. "So?"
"When a girl plays with her hair it's a sign that they fancy someone… and that they're… sexually frustrated." He flirted. Zoey blushed. Oh god, he was an Irish version of Logan.
"I'm Corey." Said a handsome mixed race boy. He was tall and looked to be about 15. He had jet black hair and lots of it. Natalie glanced at him as though trying to judge who was cuter, Corey or Logan. She settled on Logan. Zoey rolled her eyes.
"Hi, I'm Darren… uh Daz." Daz was small and blond. He looked incredibly shy but his eyes also gave him away. His grey eyes bore a mischievous glint.
"Aaron. Aaron Bell." Aaron said removing his cap briefly. He looked like a New Yorker. Zoey didn't know how someone could look like a New Yorker… but somehow he managed. He wore a white track suit with red stripes and wore his NY baseball cap backwards. Zoey realised that was why she'd thought 'New York' because of the cap.
"Lewis." Mumbled Lewis. He gave a shy little wave. He was small and weedy probably the youngest of the lot. 11 years old maximum.
"I guess I'm number 13… lucky for some Leonie." Leonie flicked her bright blue hair over her shoulder. Although it was obviously dyed, Zoey found herself getting jealous. How come her hair was so boring?

"Okay…" Said Honey. She stood up and got the bottle. She span it.
"Daz. Okay, how old are you?"
"Thirteen." Daz said simply. "That was easy." He turned the bottle. "Natalie?"
"It would have to land on me!" Natalie complained. She shrugged. "Shoot."
"If you fancy one person in here who is it?" Daz asked.
"That's not fair!" Said Monica. "She's only been here two seconds."
"Yeah and first impressions aren't always right." Zoey said looking at Logan. He was a monstrous jerk. Too bad Natalie didn't know that yet.
"Hm, if I HAD to choose… Logan. Hands down." Natalie said. The twins giggled in an annoyingly synchronic way.
"You're not so bad yourself Nat." Commented Logan. Natalie turned the bottle.

"Logan? Okay do you have a girlfriend… or someone special back home?" Natalie asked hopefully.
"A girlfriend…no." Zoey winced. She knew Dana's secret… she wouldn't be happy about this. Assuming she was watching Bigger Brother live.
"Special someone?" Natalie hinted.
"Ah," Logan said. "Not exactly." Natalie's face fell. Zoey felt bad for her. "She's not keen so… Zoey?"
"You can't just pick me! You have to spin the bottle." Zoey informed.
"No I was asking you if you think I have a chance with her. Idiot." Zoey did not take kindly to being called an idiot.
"It depends who it is, dweeb."
"Who're you calling a dweeb?" Logan demanded. Zoey turned her back on everyone.
"I'm going to bed." She stood up and went to the bedroom.
"Someone's moody." Commented Aaron.
"She always this wacko?" Corey asked.
"Nah she's just annoyed. She didn't want to come here." Logan announced spinning the bottle.

"Okay sexy, what's with the hair?"
"I wanted to make an impression on the judges." Leonie said. "So I decided to be random." She was unabashed by Logan calling her sexy. She snatched the bottle and span it.
"Okay Lewis! Hi, Um… where are you from?" Leonie asked. Lewis mumbled something under his breath.
"Pardon?" Asked Devonny.
"Nevermind the pardon rubbish," Corey said. "Dude speak up!"
"I said Detroit." He mumbled standing up and pushing his blond hair back. "I'm going to go see if Zoey's okay." He scuttled into the bedroom. Leaving everyone else to their truth game.

"Zoey?"
"Hallo." Zoey said dully. She pulled her top on. Lewis blushed and turned away.
"I'm Lewis. I know just how you feel. I don't want to be here either."
"How did you know…" Started Zoey in shock.
"The look on your face. Let me guess a friend dragged you to the audition." He asked.
"Yeah. Then she chickened out. You can turn around." Zoey looked around. "Where are the cameras in this place?"
"Everywhere." Lewis said. "It's kind of creepy." Zoey raised her hand and her middle finger to the ceiling randomly. Lewis smiled.

"Try to make Bigger Brother kick you out." Lewis said eventually.
"How?" Zoey asked.
"Break the rules. Simple."
"Won't that mean the other housemates get punished?" Zoey asked uncertainly.
"Ah, who cares about them?" Lewis mumbled sitting on one of the beds.
"I do. Logan's my friend. And like it or not. He's all I've got." Zoey flicked the light switch.
"Not true. You've got me."
"Thanks. I miss PCA. I wish I was back at school… sat between Dana and Nicole watching this."
"Give them a wave then." Lewis said in the dark.
"Hey guys! If you're watching this… YOU'D BETTER VOTE FOR ME!"


"This is Bigger Brother. Could Logan please come to the diary room?" Chanted the computerised female voice. Logan often wondered why Bigger Brother was sometimes a woman… isn't a female brother technically a sister. He looked up from the game.
"Where's the diary room?" He asked in confusion. "And why me? I haven't done anything…" He paused. "Yet." He added thoughtfully.
"Do not argue with Bigger Brother." The voice said it seemed to come from everywhere.
"I think that's the diary room." Said Honey pointing at a large silver sliding door. Logan crept up to it and knocked.
"You don't knock ya idiot." Laughed Aislin. "It's our house. Just go in." Logan realised that he had indeed been stupid, but didn't like being told so. He gave Aislin the finger before disappearing into the diary room.

"Hello Logan. This is Bigger Brother." Announced the voice in the diary room. Logan sat on the big green squishy cushion on the floor and faced the camera wall that acted like a mirror.
"I know. You said that already," Logan said checking his hair in the projection.
"Do not argue with Bigger Brother."
"Said that too…" He muttered. "So… why am I here?"
"Because Zoey failed to answer a question in the task set, she has henceforth incurred a group fail. This weeks budget WILL be cut…" Logan groaned. She'd been here two minutes and she'd broken the rules. "Unless you do as we ask."
"Well… that depends on what you're asking doesn't it?" Logan said stretching and sprawling across the cushion.
"You must ensure that every member in the Bigger Brother household votes for Zoey."
"but won't that mean she gets kicked out?"

"Logan. Allow us to finish." Us? What were they the queen? "If you succeed in getting Zoey nominated by every member… without discussing nominations, then Zoey will be exempt from the public vote this week." Logan looked uncomfortable.
"So basically I have to be a total jerk to her. But won't that mean I'll get nominated aswell?" Logan asked.
"If you succeed in your task you also shall be exempt from the public vote. The budget will not be cut. You must not tell anyone about your mission." Logan relaxed.
"Okay then see you." Logan got up to leave.
"Logan… one last condition." Said Bigger Brother. Logan span around. "if you fail this task. You will be up for the public vote automatically. Goodbye." Logan paled. He was going to kill Zoey later!
