On the way to Starbucks Alex walked up front with Butler, Phil, Kayla, and Doni while Portman was fallowing with Lea. Every so often Alex would glance back to see what they were doing but quickly turned back to the others.
"They were voted cutest couple last year." Phil said when he noticed Alex look back. "You have no chance with him."
"Who said I wanted a chance." Alex protested. "He and I are just friends."
Doni grabbed Alex's hand and pulled her away from Phil. "You have no right telling her that."
"Hey she's the one looking back at them not me." Phil said glaring at Doni.
"Please you two if you start fighting again I will ring both of your necks." Kayla protested. She took Doni around the waist and held her. "Don't listen to him baby. He's just mad that you turned lesbian."
"Yeah well he's the one that pushed me to it." Doni replied as she glared right back at Phil. Smiling to herself she turned to Alex. "Phil and I were voted most likely to get married first. Now I'm a lesbian and damn proud to get rid of him."
"Amen to that." Kayla replied then let go of Doni as they walked on. They walked faster so that they were in head of the group and could talk to Alex better.
"Listen to me Alex." Doni whispered. "Lea and Dean had a thing. There is still chemistry between them but by the look on his face he's moved on. Lea gave him that tattoo. And he gave her the one on her lower back. Think nothing of it. You're the one my brother likes now."
Alex looked at her in surprise. "Why are you telling me this?"
"Because this group believes they are meant for each other." Kayla replied. "The only ones who can see the change in Dean is Doni and me. We've known him the longest. You should know that the group doesn't hate you. They just don't want you messing up there couple."
"They don't have to worry about that. I'm with Adam." Alex replied as she looked back at Portman. She noticed that Lea was trying to get his attention but he seamed to be watching Alex closely. He winked at her and Alex turned back to the others.
"We aren't worries about you." Doni replied obviously seeing Portmans reaction.
"It's him." Kayla said with a nod. "He's not one of those guys who just sits around and waits for what he wants. If he wants it he'll take it."
"Then he must not want me that bad." Alex assured them. "Because he hasn't taken me yet."
Kayla and Doni rolled their eyes and quickly raced across the street and into the Starbucks. Alex sighed and fallowed behind them. When Alex walked into the door she took a deep breath. She loved coffee. Kayla and Doni laughed and nodded with agreement. The headed up to the counter and ordered way before the other had even entered the store. Kayla got a caramel mocha latté, and Doni and Alex got espressos double shot with extra cream.
"You two are starting to freak me out." Kayla said as they all three sat down at a table together. "If you both say your favorite color is black, your favorite band is All American Rejects and you're a sucker for 80's music I've got two crushes."
"Yeah I do." Alex and Doni replied together then laughed at the reality of it all.
"What are you three up to?" Portman asked sitting down next to Alex.
"We were just discussing that I have a crush on two girls now considering that they are so much alike. Then again they are so different." Kayla said eying both Alex and Doni. Portman looked at Alex to see her reaction but she had none.
"Kayla just said she had a crush on you." Portman said in surprise. "Doesn't that bother you in some way."
"Not at all." Alex said sipping her espresso. "Remember Ashley. She's a lesbian and she's my best friend. I guess I'm used to having a girl check me out."
"Your odd." Portman said shaking his head. Alex smiled at him over her cup.
"But that's why you love me so much isn't it." Alex said with a small wink then went back to Kayla and Doni. "I'll bet you any thing that Portman will order a mocha frapaccino."
"Aw that's hard to say he may go for the low fat caramel latte." Kayla said leaning closer to get into the conversation better.
"No he's more likely to get a cappuccino." Doni said with a slight nod. Portman just rolled his eyes and got up to order. But as soon as he had gotten up Carla took his seat. Portman went to protest but Carla glared at him. Then she turned smiling to Alex and the others.
"So Alex sorry about my sister earlier." Carla said smiling even wider. Alex smiled back seeing through her act. But Carla kept going. "So how's Iowa. I hear there isn't much there besides corn and cows."
"There are pigs, horses, and sheep too." Alex said sarcasticly. "And every so often between corn fields there is a town. Ever heard of the song interstate 80?"
Carla paused for a moment before answering. "No. why?"
"The song tells you what you see when you travel interstate 80. its really interesting you should download it some time." Alex said looking over at Kayla and Doni.
"I guess I'll have to." Carla said getting up and walking over to her sister. Alex watched her tell some thing to Lea and then walk away to sit with Butler.
"Man I've never seen anyone see through that act that well." Doni replied sipping on her espresso.
"I have six sisters who do the same thing." Alex replied with a sigh. "It must be a Barbie thing."
Six sisters! Hell how do you survive." Kayla said in aw. "Do any of them look like you?"
Alex smiled and handed her a photo of the duck cheer squad. "The quadruplets and twins are my sisters. Then the two boys lifting me up are my brothers."
"Who's that?" Doni and Kayla asked together. Alex looked over the table to the picture.
"That would be out couch Morgan Gray." Alex replied with a sigh. She was the only one not going with them to Eden Hall.
"Man I'd like to get my hands on that." Kayla mumble. Doni's mouth dropped and she lightly smacked Kayla on the arm. Kayla smile and gave Doni a hug.
"You guys would love to meet my friend Ashley." Alex said with a laugh.
