Hey!!!

So here's my update. Tell me what you think.

Adam reluctantly made his way back to his room. "Hey, Kris." His voice sounded nonchalant as he greeted. Kris is playing some chords on his guitar. He headed directly to his bed and sat.

"What's up man? You sound as if you just lost all your eyeliners to a bet." Kris teased. When Adam didn't reply, his face turned serious and asked, "Really, man, what's wrong?" Concern is evident in his voice.

"It's nothing, dude. I'm just tired from the drive, I guess." He lied. His head on his hands. What really got him down is the fact that he could never have the one thing he wanted the most, Allison.

"So, any development from Allison?" Kris asked with a smile on his face.

Adam inhaled privately and said, "Yeah, I just told her that you two should spend some time together, just to get to know each other."

"And…" the shorter guy urged him to go on.

"She, well, agreed." Adam felt pain serge to his veins as he spoke these words.

"Awesome!" Kris exclaimed. "Thanks, man. I knew I could count on you. And just to make up for all the things you've done to me, I'm going to help you feel better."

"How?" he raised his head from his palms. I'm sure there's nothing you could do to make me feel good. Adam thought grimly.

Kris stood up and grabbed his friend's arms. "Just follow me."

"Where are we going?" Adam demanded as they went down the stairs. Kris didn't reply and just kept on dragging him. They're headed to the girls' rooms. "What are we doing here?!"

"You'll see." His friend pushed him towards the door of Megan's room.

Oh no. Adam panicked. " Dude, there's no way."

"C'mon. If there's any other person who would be willing to make you happy, it would be Meg."

"Are you out of your mind?! There's got to be another way. I can't be with her alone." Adam shouted but not loud enough for the girls to hear.

"That's a great idea! You don't have to be alone with Megan." The brunette exclaimed, his eyes shining. Adam sighed in relief. "I could invite Allison on a double date with you and Megan!"

"What!?!?" the dark-haired guy cried out.

"Think about it. One," he raised his index finger, "Allison did agree to spend time with me. Two, I wouldn't be nervous about being alone with her because you're there to help. And lastly, you don't have to spend the night with her alone."

Adam was about to protest when Megan's door opened. Apparently, Megan heard everything they said. "Yes, I would definitely say yes!"

Adam opened his mouth to respond when Megan put her finger across his lips and said, "I'll be ready around 7:00 PM. Just meet me here." He rolled his eyes at her overly-dramatic gesture. And he should know what overly-dramatic means. He's from the theater, after all.

She immediately ran inside her room and slammed her door behind her. She let a deafening scream, causing Adam and Kris to wince and cover their bleeding ears.

Allison went outside to see what all the commotion was about. When she saw Adam, she walked towards him and asked, "Hey, Adam. Any reasons for coming to the girls' part of the house?"

Kris eyed Adam suspiciously, noting that Allison greeted only him. He cleared his throat, signaling Adam to invite her to the double date.

"Um, Allie, you remember Kris, don't you?" Adam started.

"Yeah." She turned to the other guy and introduced herself. "I'm Allison."

"I know. I've been sort of, well, what I'm really trying to say is…um." Kris just babbled, clearly nervous.

Adam moaned and finally rescued his friend from looking stupid. "He wants you to go out with him, isn't that right Kris?"

Allison looked surprised. She gazed at Adam, hoping that he was the one who asked him out, not Kris whom she barely knew.

Kris finally got a grip of himself and replied, "Yes, that's exactly what I wanted to say. I want to invite you on a double date with Adam and Megan."

Allison gasped at the last sentence. She thought that Adam didn't like Megan. Now he's on a date with her! She turned her attention to Kris and felt sorry for him. She didn't want to let down on someone like him. He looked so hopeful that she would say yes so she gave in. "Yeah, I guess." Her face dropped as she answered.

"Great! I'll pick you up at 7." He enthusiastically called out as he and Adam made their way back upstairs. "I'll be looking forward to it." He added.

Allison replied helplessly, "Me too." Too soft for Kris to hear. She went back to her room and locked the door.

Jasmine and Lil are on her bed, watching a DVD. Jasmine paused the movie and asked, "So, what's all the commotion out there?"
Allison tried her best to pull back her tears as she replied, "It's just Megan. Apparently, Adam asked her out on a double date." She couldn't fight her tears from falling anymore. They rushed down like the drops of water in Niagara Falls.

"Aw, sweetie, it's alright." Lil came to her aid. She knows Allison's massive crush on Adam. She motherly hugged her.

Jasmine also looked concerned. She rushed to her and asked, "Who are the other couple that will double date with them?"

"That's another story." She sniffled. "You see, Kris, you know, the one who hangs out with Adam, asked me out to go on the double date with them."

"Wow," the other 16 year-old's eyes widened, "that's some situation that you got yourself into."

"I know."

It's Lil's turn to speak. "Well, you should prove Adam and yourself that you don't need him. Go with Kris. He seems nice." The last sentence reminded Allison of her answer to Adam's question, the one he asked on what she thinks about Kris.

"Yeah." Allison suddenly found the strength to go to the date. She wiped her tears away and stood up proudly and added. "You're absolutely right! I don't need some cute guy to ruin this moment for me. I'm in American Idol, for crying out loud! I'm gonna be there and show him that I can go on without him." If only I could convince myself to do just that, she said to herself, doubting that she could even survive the date without jealousy consuming her.
