Hey guys! Sorry I took so long. Please enjoy chapter 5.


I couldn't believe my eyes. Heidi was sitting on my brother's lap, showering him with kisses! She was cheating on Odd! And to make it worse, Heidi was cheating on him with my brother!

"Ahem,"I fake coughed loud enough for them to hear.

Reluctantly, she ripped her lips apart from Eric and lifted her head to face me. Her eyes held horror and fear.

"Y-Yumi, what are you doing here?"She stuttered nervously, sliding to the opposite side of the couch from my brother.

"Shouldn't I be asking you that?"I narrowed my eyes at her.

"What's going on, Yumi?"Eric asked, obviously confused.

"Yumi, please! I-I-It's not what it looks like!"She begged.

I ignored her plea and explained to my brother,"Heidi has a boyfriend, Eric."

Eric stared at me with disbelief. He shook his head with denial.

"I nodded,"Yes."

Eric turned his head to face Heidi. He opened his mouth to speak, be nothing came out. He was stumped for words. Eric closed his mouth and shook his head as he lifted himself from the living room couch. I was surprised Eric didn't try to argue with me at first instead of giving in so easily. Heidi reached for him as he stood.

"Eric, please. I can explain,"Heidi begged again.

Eric pulled his arm out of Heidi's grasp and stared at her with cold eyes,"What can you explain? What can you do that will prove what Yumi said was wrong?"

"What can you do to prove that what Yumi said was right?"She challenged.

Eric glanced at me, sideways, then back to Heidi,"Yumi never lies about anything. I know that for a fact."

I smiled to myself, mentally thanking Eric for having that much faith in me.

"If you don't mind, I think it's best you leave now,"Eric stated.

Heidi glared at Eric and I, before barging out of the house. After, we heard the front door close, an ear-splitting scream surrounded the house. A few seconds later, Frankie ran into the living room dripping wet.

"What the hell was that?!"Frankie exclaimed.

"Heidi,"Eric and I said at the same time.

"You mean your date was the one that made me miss the basket and break our neighbor's window with a basketball?!"Frankie gawked.

"Yeah...Hey wait-"

"Hold up! You broke a window?"I interrupted Eric.

"Yeah. So?"Frankie shrugged.

A rapid knock came from the front door. We all ran to answer it.

"Um..Yes?"I opened the door halfway.

"Hello. Is this your basketball?"a sweet looking lady, about in her late 60's, held Frankie's ball.

"Yeah! Thanks!"Frankie was about to grab it when the old lady pulled it away.

"You'll get it back once you've paid for my broken window!"The old lady shook her hand, angrily at us and slowly walked out of our driveway with Frankie's ball.

I locked the door and waited for someone to react.

"Dad's going to kill me,"Frankie held his head in his hands.

"No, he won't,"I patted his back, reassuringly.

"You think ?"He lifted his head, hopeful.

"No. He's going to kill you."

"Gee, thanks, Yumi"Frankie muttered, sarcastically.

"No problem."

"Hey, don't worry so much, bro. Who says dad's going to find out?"Eric said.

Frankie and I raised our hands.

"Well, I don't. We can pay for the window ourselves,"Eric adds.

"Yeah and where do suppose we get this money, huh, Eric?"I questioned.

Eric rubbed the back of his neck, nervously,"I was thinking, maybe, you could use your car money."

"What?!"I yelled.

I've been saving up for a car since I was 9. My dad would always give me 500 dollars every month because he knew how badly I wanted a car too. I was not about to throw away all my money because of what Frankie did to an old lady's window.

"Oh, please, Yumi!"Frankie went down on his knees and begged,"I promise to buy you any car you want. Please, Yumi!"

I crossed my arms and made no eye contact with him or I would surely give in.

"If dad finds out I accidentally broke a neighbor's window, who knows what he'll do,"Frankie was now hanging onto my leg.

I tried to wiggle out of his arms, but he wouldn't loosen his grip,"All right! All right! I'll pay. But you better buy me the car I want by the time I get my driver's license or I'm gonna do something much more worse than what dad would do,"I threatened.

"Thank you, Yumi! You rock!"Frankie released my leg and gave me a kiss on the cheek.

Frankie jumped up and down in relief like a little kid that was sugar high. I wiped off the wet kiss Frankie gave me with my palm and head upstairs.

"Where are you going?"Eric asked while Frankie continued to jump up and down like a pogo stick.

"I'm gonna get ready for a party at Theo's house. It's at 6,"I explained from upstairs.

"Will your friend mind if I go?"Eric wondered.

"You? Want to go to a party full of sophomores?"I hinted.

"Um, maybe not,"Eric changes his mind and heads into the kitchen.

I smiled and walk into my bathroom to take a shower. I stripped off my swimsuit and laid it on the edge of the bathtub/shower. My muscles felt relaxed under the tingling water. As soon as I exited the bathroom, I dried myself and wrapped a towel around me. I walked into my closet and browsed through my own clothing.

What should I wear? I don't want to look stupid or anything.

It was my first party in California and I didn't want to seem like a total loser or anything. But, then again, why do I care? I never cared what people thought. I wore what I liked and never gave a damn about anyone else. So why do I care now? I brushed the thought off and picked out my clothing: A white tank top, light grey capris, sunny white flip flops and a black swim suit underneath. It kind of surprised me I had something other than black in my own closet.

I quickly blow dried and brushed my hair. Taking a quick view of myself in the bathroom mirror, I stuffed my cell into my back pocket and practically flew down the staircase. I spotted Eric and Frankie racing in the pool. Ulrich and Nicole were no where to be found.

Probably at the party or in Nicole's room doing you-know-what. I thought.

"Eric! Frankie! I'm leaving now,"I told them as they rose to the surface.

"Already?"Eric ran his fingers through his wet hair.

"Yeah. It's 6,"I announced, glancing at the kitchen clock from the door.

"I thought most girls usually take for ever to get ready,"Frankie exaggerated.

"And I thought you knew I'm not most girls,"I mocked

"Very true,"He agreed with an impish grin.

"Okay, see you guys later,"I waved goobye and left the house.

As I walked to Theo's house, the driveway was emptied besides the shiny silver Mercedez I'd seen Theo in and another car. I didn't even try to guess because I knew I would get it wrong. But, it looked absoulutely amazing. (A/N Pictures of cars on my page)

I arrived at the front door and rung the doorbell. Thankfully, Theo answered it.

"Hey, Yumi!"Theo grinned.


Sorry. That wasn't the best place to stop it but it's been so long since I updated and I wanted to give you something at least. Please Review.
