Chapter 7
The Next Morning the guys were all sitting outside the school waiting for Audrey and Liza.
"Who are you asking to the dance?" Cameron asked the other two as nonchalant as he could manage. The two looked up suspiciously.
"Who are you asking?" Sean asked him. Cameron Blushed and all three answered,
"Audrey."
"No, I'm asking Audrey." Xander stood up.
"No, I've known her longer. I know what she likes, and it's not a couple of skinny white boys." Sean stood as well, but he was a couple inches shorter than Xander.
"I'm more her type than you are!" Cameron Exclaimed. He was shorter than both of them, so his standing really didn't help the intimidation factor.
"You're insane." Xander shook his head. "I'm asking Audrey to the dance and she's going to say yes because well, why have lunchmeat when you can have steak?"
"That doesnt even make sense!" Cameron Snapped. Sean pushed Xander back.
"Hey man, I'm tired of this egotistical thing you've got going on." Xander narrowed his eyes and pushed back.
"Don't push me dude." he said.
"I already did." Sean challeneged. "And you know what?" He pushed him. "I did it again."
"You two are stupid. I'm going to find Audrey." Cameron shook his head and started off, only to be pulled back by Xander.
"I'm going to find her." He snarled.
"No way!" Sean pushed him a third time, knocking him back onto the ground. Xander got up furious and threw himself at the other two taking them both down and they rolled on the ground, eac trying to break free, but yet cause damage to the other two.
"what are you three doing?" They stopped and looked up to find Audrey standing over them, furious, arms crossed over her chest.
"H-hey Audrey." They all scrambled to get up. Xander had a split lip, Sean had a bloody nose and Cameron had the beginnings of a nasty black eye.
"Oh my god..." She looked at the three of them. "What the... what were you fighting over?" She asked.
"Will you go with me to the dance?" They asked at the same time.
"No! Will you go with me?"
"No me!"
"Me?"
"Hold on!" Audrey shouted to be heard over the boys. "You mean you're fighting, knock down drag out fighting over who's asking me to the dance?" She didn't notice Liza walk up behind her.
"Yeah, come on Drey, you know we all like you, you have to pick one of us." Sean told her.
"Wait... Sean... you like her?" Liza asked. Audrey's eye widened and she quickly turned.
"Liz,"
"Yeah." Sean nodded. "More than these two clowns." Audrey winced as she looked at Liza.
"Lizzy... I... I don't,"
"And you knew?" Liza asked Audrey, who bit her lip.
"I might have... had an idea... yeah, yeah I did." Audrey looked sadly at her best friend.
"I can't believe this." Liza's eyes filled with tears and she turned, running off.
"Liz!" Audrey called after her.
"What's with her?" Sean asked.
"What's with her?" Audrey snapped turning back to the boys. "She's just found out that her crush is crushing on her friend! I don't know what gave you three the idea that I'd chose between you but fighting isn't helping my decision!" She yelled. People turned to stare at them curiously.
"Drey..."
"Don't you Drey me Cameron Moore! I thought maybe if I ignored the crush thing it would go away, but obviously that's not the case! If I do, and that's a big if, if I do choose to date someone from the band it will be my decision and you fighting won't make that decision any faster. Now if You don't mind I have to go comfort my best friend and try to explain to her why I didn't tell her that Sean had a crush on me!" Audrey turned on her heel and stormed off, leaving the boys to look at each other sheepishly.
"She was mad." Xander frowned.
"No kidding fool." Sean rolled his eyes and walked off to get his bloody nose taken care of.

"Liz?" Sean said softly, opening the door to Liza's bedroom. He hadn't found her at the Park, the mall or the library so this was the only other place she could be. Sure enough Sean heard a sniffle from the bed, flickingon the lights he saw a small lump under the blanket, a small, shaking lump. He walked over, sitting next to her.
"Go away." Liza ordered, her words muffled by the blanket.
"Liz, come on, talk to me."
"No.." She didn't know if she was angry about him having a crush on Audrey, about Audrey not telling her, or if she was just humiliated that it all came out this way.
"Liz,"
"Why her?" Sean froze and looked down.
"What?" Liza pulled the blanket down and she looked at Sean.
"Why her? Why did you have to have a crush on Audrey?"
"I... I don't know... it just sort of happened." Liza rolled her eyes and got out of the bed.
"Of course, because she's Audrey. Pretty, funny fantastic singer. She's perfect." Liza went to her mirror and just got more upset at her brown curls, now wild from being under the blanket.
"Liz, Audrey's far from perfect." Sean shook his head. "She's loud, obnoxious, self centered..." He trailed off.
"So Why do you like her?" Liza asked. Sean frowned, thinking.
"You know.. I'm not sure anymore. I mean, it started in like the fourth grade after the christmas pagent." Liza couldn't help but smile.
"So... you have a crush on her voice?" Sean's eyes widened as it hit him.
"Yeah, I guess that's it, because the rest of Audrey... it's okay on a friend level, but anymore... I'd probably have to kill her." Sean turned and watched as Liza sat down and attempted to tame her hair. "Hey Liz?"
"Yeah?"
"Do you want to go to the dance?"
