Garrett awoke with a start. He heard his mother yelling at Lily to get ready for school. It was still early, but he threw off the covers and walked downstairs in his sweatpants to find that his mother was making breakfast. He took a seat at the table and yawned as he stretched. Lily stuck her tongue out at him from across the table. He sighed and shook his head as his mother placed their breakfast in front of them.

"Thanks." Garrett nodded as he pulled his plate nearer.

"Are you going to the gym today?" Phoebe asked her son.

"Yeah, I think it's starting to pay off." The young man nodded.

"The girls will be going wild." Phoebe grinned at her son.

"Mom…" he shook his head.

"Can I get a ride to school?" Lily asked.

"Your dad took the car. Garrett can drive you in his." Phoebe replied.

"What?" frowned the young man.

"Please?" Lily smiled at her brother.

"Oh, fine. Let me go and get ready first." He replied.

An hour later Garrett was driving his sister to school. His car was a restored Honda Civic that his parents had given him as a gift for his seventeenth birthday. It was a good car, with shiny red paintwork and an upholstered new interior. Garrett had grown quite attached to it. Lily was sitting in the passenger seat, rifling through his collection of CDs. She was quite a handful, which he assumed she had gotten from Phoebe. Her brown hair was tied into a ponytail and she wore a blue t-shit that brought out the colour of her green eyes.

"You really pissed Rosalyn off last night." Lily said.

"I know. I just think she's acting like an idiot." Garrett replied.

"We didn't call you an idiot when you had your first girlfriend." Lily pointed out.

"That was my girlfriend. She's not even dating Tommy." The young man replied.

"Anyone would think you were jealous." His sister sighed.

"Me, jealous of Tommy?" Garrett frowned and pouted a little.

"You should try some reverse psychology." Lily suggested.

"Some what?" Garrett raised a brow.

"Act like you're happy she likes Tommy. We all want something more when we know we're not supposed to want it. The more you like the idea, the less important it is for her to rebel by liking the wrong guy." Lily explained.

"You're pretty wise for sixteen." Garrett told his sister.

"I know. Now drop me off here, I don't want my friends seeing me in this car." She replied.

Garrett shook his head as he pulled over. Lily leaned over and kissed her brother's cheek, before grabbing her school bag and getting out of the car. He watched her walk towards the school and pulled away. He had his gym bag with him, so he thought he might as well get another workout in. The gym wasn't too far from where he was now.

When he arrived at the gym, he got changed and made his way out to the main gym area. He spotted Tommy already lifting weights in the corner. Garrett walked over to the resistance machines and began an upper body workout. About ten minutes later he saw Rosalyn walking towards Tommy. She was wearing a white sports bra and black shorts, which were shorter than Garrett had ever seen her wear. Her blonde hair was in plaits either side of her head. Tommy walked over to her as he patted a towel over his bare torso. Garrett continued to work out as he tried to take in the conversation.

"Hey Tommy." Rosalyn smiled and handed him a bottle of water.

"Rosalyn, you look amazing." He replied.

"Thanks. Been working out again?" she asked him.

"I have to maintain this body." He grinned and flashed his torso.

"You're doing a great job." Rosalyn grinned.

"So, are you seeing anyone?" Tommy asked her.

"No. Are you?" she replied.

"I have someone in mind." He winked.

"Oh, who would that be?" Rosalyn replied with a hint of disappointment.

"You." Tommy grinned at her.

"Me?" she gasped.

"Yeah, what do you say to a date?" he asked her.

"I say yeah." Rosalyn nodded and smiled.

"I'll pick you up at your place. Seven sound ok?" Tommy asked.

"Sure, see you then." Rosalyn nodded as he walked past her.

The blonde stood in her state of delight as she registered the fact that Tommy Cena had just asked her out. After she snapped out of her daydreaming state, Rosalyn looked around to see if anyone had caught her grinning like an idiot. She saw Garrett minding his own business and working out on the machines. The blonde walked over and waved a hand in front of his face. Garrett sighed and stopped what he was doing.

"What is it Rosalyn?" he asked her.

"Guess who just asked me out?" she asked excitedly.

"Um, the guy in the juice bar?" he suggested.

"No, Tommy Cena." She replied smugly.

"Oh, it paid off then…" Garrett nodded.

"What paid off?" Rosalyn asked him.

"All those tricks you've been pulling. The water bottle, the short shorts, the hair flick…" he rhymed off a few.

"You know, anyone else would be happy for me." The blonde folded her arms.

"I'm not anyone else. I'm your lifelong friend." Garrett stated.

"Then act like a friend!" Rosalyn replied in annoyance.

"I am acting like a friend. I'm acting like a friend who doesn't want you to get hurt." He told her.

"Who says I'll get hurt?" she asked him.

"Just be careful, please." Garrett pleaded with her.

"What do you think Tommy's going to do to me?" Rosalyn frowned confusedly.

"All I'm saying is don't do anything you might regret later." Garrett replied.

Rosalyn shook her head and walked away from him. He grabbed his towel and wiped his face, cursing himself for making her upset and angry once again. Garrett and Rosalyn had never fallen out over anything in their whole lives. She was always accepting of anything that he wanted to do, while he had been her shoulder to cry on when she was sad. They were always the best of friends until Tommy came into the picture. Garrett knew that he looked hypocritical, with him being against Tommy. Rosalyn had never complained about Garrett's girlfriends or the way he behaved.

As Garrett drove home later that afternoon, he realised that Lily had lost her bracelet in the passenger seat of his car. He took it inside once he returned home, finding his dad cooking some lunch for them. He dropped his gym bag by the door and walked over to the table, where his mother was sitting. She looked up and smiled at her son.

"Is Lily back yet?" Garrett asked.

"No, she's going straight to Teddy's." Phoebe replied to her son.

"Why?" he asked.

"She's helping Rosalyn get ready for her big date." Phoebe replied.

"Yeah, with Tommy." The young man nodded.

"Do you have a problem with it?" his mother asked him.

"No, I guess not." Garrett shrugged and went upstairs to his room.

He was keeping hold of Lily's bracelet for now. Maybe she would tell him about Rosalyn's date.

What do you think?
