"Are you okay, Tyler?" Jack was staring across the living room table at his friend.
Tyler was staring into space, throwing a tennis ball up in the air distractedly. "Huh?"
"TYLER." Maya grabbed the tennis ball and shook him a little. "You've been doing that for the past 1 hour. What's wrong?" she and Jack sat on either side of him.
"I just feel kind of weird." Tyler said with a frown.
"What kind of weird?" Rick asked, sitting in front of Tyler.
"My stomach keeps doing flips and my heart is pounding." Tyler said.
Maya and Rick exchanged a glance.
"Maybe you're just feeling a bit sick." Maya said quickly.
"Yeah, um, there's a bug going round lately." Rick said, nodding.
The three walked out of the room and went upstairs, crowding into Maya's room.
"So Tyler's got a crush." Maya said, raising her eyebrows.
"Why didn't you tell him that?" Jack said, bewildered.
"Because, we don't want Tyler to freak out and start trying to change who he is." Rick said.
"It's best if he figures it out by himself, and hopefully he'll realize that whoever he likes will either like him for who he is, or not at all." Maya agreed.
"So...I shouldn't tell anybody?" Jack asked.
Maya and Rick rolled their eyes. "No." They both said.
"Not even..."
"NO!" they both shouted, louder this time.
"Alright, geez." Jack said, and he left the room.
"He's probably going to tell everybody." Maya said, slapping her palm to her forehead.
"Well, at least Tyler will find out that way. But...I just hope he doesn't freak out." Rick said.
"Come on, let's go find Jack." Maya said, and the two left the room together.
"I wonder what those two were talking about." Lianne said thoughtfully, as she, Kitty and Olivia walked downstairs.
"Maybe they were declaring their undying love." Olivia joked.
Kitty, Lianne and Olivia laughed.
Lizanne came running upstairs, holding a box of new straighteners. "Hey, Lianne!" she greeted.
"Hey, Lizanne." Lianne greeted, and then she giggled. "It's so weird...Lianne and Lizanne."
As soon as they entered the living room, all three girls gasped.
Harley and Zack were fighting, whacking at each other. It was odd because they were brothers, and they never ever had fights.
"Now's your chance, Kitty." Lianne said suddenly.
"The lessons!" Olivia agreed.
Kitty ran forward and, taking a deep breath, stood in between the two boys and put her hands out, pushing them both back. "Stop!" she said.
"You touched us." Harley said, staring at Kitty.
Zack raised his eyebrows, but relaxed. So did Harley.
"Why are you guys fighting? You never fight." Lianne said.
"Lizanne is in love with me..." Harley said.
"No she isn't, she's in love with me!" Zack said.
"No she isn't!" Harley said, and off they went again, arguing.
Kitty sighed and stepped back. Suddenly, they heard a yell and everyone froze, running outside towards the yell.
