"You know what we need?" R.J. asked Allen while lying on Allen's bed a couple days later. The boys were hanging out in Allen's room while they waited for the clock to strike 5 because that was when the posting for the Summer Music Program was going up.

"What do we need?" Allen asked in reply. He was staring at his computer screen refreshing the web page every minute. His normally neat black hair was sticking out at odd angles from running his fingers through it. Come on come on. When are they going to post?

"We need to meet new people this summer. Especially girls."

Allen rolled his eyes, "We don't need to meet girls." Especially now.

"We do too! The only people I ever seem to talk to is my family and you. I feel like we need to branch out and expand our inner circle to new people. And when I talk about meeting girls I don't mean getting girlfriends. I just want to know some girls as friends. It would be nice to get to know girls so we know what to look for when we are looking to date…."

"I got in," Allen's excited voice cut into R.J.'s ramble.

"You what?"

"I got into the Summer Music Program," Allen cried out.

"Allen, that's awesome. Congrats man. I knew you were going to make it in."

"What's going on in there," called a voice from the other side of Allen's door.

Allen looked at R.J and mouthed R.E.X. "Nothing is going on Rex," Allen called back. I really hope he just goes away.

"Really, then why did I hear a lot of excited shouting and some jumping around? Open this door," Rex demanded.

Allen quickly exited out of the web page he had been looking at incase Rex looked at his computer. Then after trying to flatten his hair a little with his hands, Allen opened the door.

Rex marching into the room and looked around, he looked at R.J. "You, whatever your name is, what are you doing here?"

"It's R.J. Mr. Rex sir," R.J. corrected.

"Whatever. What are you doing in Allen's room?"

"Nothing really, just hanging out. Keeping Allen entertained."

"Really, well I don't remember giving Allen permission to have friends over today."

"I'm sorry Rex," Allen said quietly looking down at his feet. "It won't happen again." Just go and leave me alone.

"It better not. You know how I don't like to be disobeyed. Now what were you guys so excited about?"

"What do you mean Rex," Allen said trying to stall Rex while he came up with an answer.

"I heard you say, 'I got in.' and I want to know what you were talking about and I want to know now. It wasn't that stupid music camp thingy that I told you, you couldn't attend is it?"

"No, it was um, um," Allen stuttered looking at R.J. for any ideas. R.J. just handed Allen his cell phone. "I was excited because um, I had been on the phone with um customer service and I finally got through to an um real person." That was close.

Rex stared at Allen, "You were excited because you got a live person with customer service? You can be such a dork Allen. If I didn't need you around so much then I would say you need to get out more." Rex turned to leave the room, "Oh, T.J."

"It's R.J. sir."

"Whatever, I want you out of my house in the next fifteen minutes or I'll have my sons take you out for you. You hear me?"

"Yes sir," replied R.J.

Allen looked at him wildly, "But we need to plan how I'm going to get to the Summer Music Program," he whispered.

"Don't worry, we will. I can text you…" Before R.J. could say anymore Rex came back into the room and grabbed Allen's cell phone out of his hand. "I'm taking this for the weekend as punishment for bringing in friends without permission."

Once Rex had left Allen turned to R.J., "Now what are we going to do if we can't call or text each other."

"We could email each other?"

"No good, Rex keeps a close eye on my emails."

"Okay, then how about we both brainstorm this weekend and then on Monday we can get together and figure this out. We still have about two weeks before the program starts."

"Okay, that sounds like a good plan. You better get out of here before Rex sends Bo and Ace up here to get you."

"Yeah that's probably a good idea. Next time Rex comes up here for a surprising visit I'll hide."

"Good plan, see you Monday."

I have writer's block here. I would appreciate any plot suggestions. I have a strong idea of where I want to go with this, I am just a bit stuck on how to get there. Once I do I'll upload more. But I also want to know if you want me to write more so let me know in the review section what you think. Thanks you for reading!
