Hey there! Sorry it took me a while! I have been pretty busy lately! Here's the next part for you guys! I hope you like it!

"Yes?" Jake asked. Carlos nodded. "Yes! She likes me!" Jake shouted with a huge smile. Then it faded as a realization hit him. "She like me. Dang it." He said softly as he slumped over to the couch and sat down.
Carlos didn't like the sight of his new friend so sad with his head in his hands. So he went and sat next to him on the very bright orange couch, "What's wrong?"
"Well," Jake began looking up, "now that I know she like me, it is going to be so awkward between us."
"Hm," Carlos said wonderingly, "I never thought of that."
Jake looked at Carlos with worry and the look like he seriously needed an answer, "Should I tell her that I like her. Or should I just leave it alone?"
"I don't know," Carlos said getting up from the couch. Then a light bulb went off in his head. He spun around to face Jake with a huge grin on his face, "I know," he said excitedly, "maybe you can ask Jo. She's a girl; she'll probably know what to do."
Jake stood up from the couch as well and went to give Carlos a man-hug, "Thanks man," he said and started to walk towards the door, but he then turned around to face Carlos, "Uh, do you know where she is?"
"Check in the lobby and Palm Woods Park," Carlos replied, "she's usually in either one of those places with Kendall."
"Ok. Thanks man." Jake said one last time before he exited the apartment shutting the door behind him.
*GYM*
Camille emerged from the locker room with the watch-com in her hand as she walked over to where Hayley was standing. "Here," she said as she held the watch-com out to her.
"Thanks," Hayley said as she took the device from Camille and placed it back on her wrist, "so what did he want?"
"Oh," Camille said, trying to think of something to say so she didn't spoil anything, "I guess Carlos needed to talk to me and his cell phone broke."
"Oh, ok," Hayley said. Whew. She bought it. Camille thought. "So," Hayley spoke up again, "what do you think of the watch-com?"
"I think it's great," Camille answered with a smile on face, "However, I still can't believe that you guys are monster hunters and no one has discovered you."Hayley just smiled, she loved to have someone she could tell all of this about.
"That's all thanks to the little guy known as the Snark. Hayley saw the look on Camille's face. It was pure confusion.
"What's a Snark?" she asked
"He's a little animal that whenever he sings his song, whoever hears it, will forget what has happened in the last few minutes." Camille looked, amazed.
"Wow," was all that she said, "but if you guys hear it, wouldn't you also forget what happened?"
"Ahh," Hayley said intrigued at this question, "that's the beauty of earplugs. If you're wearing earplugs, you won't hear the Snark's song, and you won't forget what happened. That's how we have stayed a secret all these years."
"Interesting," Camille said to herself, "I never had any clue that there was a secret organization out there that fought monster."
"Yep," Hayley said confidently to herself, "and the only people out there that know about us are the government, I believe, and other Troops around the world."
"That is so fascinating," Camille said again. Then she decided to change the topic of their conversation. "Ok," Camille spoke up again, "so, I know we already sort of talked about this but, uh, what exactly do you think of Jake?" she asked nervously. Hayley's smile faded.
"Oh, well, you know, he's obnoxious, and full of himself every once in a while," she said, "but he's also cute, and funny, and sweet and, oh what am I saying?" Hayley said as she sat down in one of the hard, plastic, orange chairs and put her face in her hands. Camille walked over and sat down in the chair next to her friend.
"What do you mean?" she asked concerned.
"Me and Jake," Hayley said looking up, "It will never work."
"Why?" Camille asked wanting to know the reason.
"Well," Hayley began, "I don't know. He probably doesn't even like me anyways."
"Oh," Camille said back with a devious smile on her face, "well, don't get your hopes down. Tell you what, let's go get cleaned up and then we can go hang out by the pool."
Hayley stood up from her chair and grabbed her towel, "sounds great," she said, "I'm getting kind of tired now." And with that, both girls headed into the locker room to change.
Well, I hope you all like it! If you are reading this, I still need more reviews! Anything helps me!
Thanks!
