Chapter 12 (Ted)

The second I saw Sinead's face I knew I was in for it. Even though there was no age difference, she still saw us as her little brothers. I could understand it, considering what happened at the Franklin Institute. So I knew when she saw me kissing Rea that she was going to go off.

She made us walk home instead of catching a cab. I thought it was so she could lecture me on the way, boy was I wrong. The walk was silence, she was letting me sweat for a wile and it was working. I was starting to go crazy, just about to burst out and yell, "Just go off already! The waiting is making me insane!" Luckily I didn't.

"I bet Ned knows by now," Sinead said in a causal voice, but there was anger underneath.

"What?" I wasn't following.

"I bet Ned knows we were at the Holt's house. It's past midnight and he hasn't called. He knows," she explained in the same voice.

"Oh," I responded.

We arrived at the house to find Ned watching TV. "So how was the Holt's?" he asked without looking at us.

"I'm guessing Ted had a better time then me," Sinead said coldly. She then went to her room, I sat down by Ned.

"What did she mean by that?" Ned asked looking at me.

"Umm, well," I was hesitant at first, then I remembered he kissed Madison so, it couldn't be to bad. "I kissed Reagan and she caught me."

Ned's eyes seemed to pop out of his head. "You did WHAT! Are you completely insane!"

A shot of anger flashed through me. "You're one to talk! You kissed Madison! And that was before I kissed Rea, so you can't talk!"

"You know, for someone so smart you can be pretty stupid sometimes," he said quietly. The calmness of his voice unnerved me, and made me more angry.

"Me stupid? Again, you're one to talk," I was just as calm as he had been. Ned stomped out of the room and slammed his door when he got to it. I stood there frozen. This was our first fight. Ever. I had fought with Sinead, but that was different. She was our sister, still part of the set, but we fought all the time. Ned and I had always been inseparable. That was one of the reasons I was glad I liked Rea. I thought she would be inseparable with her twin too, and maybe we could double date or something. That wasn't the only reason I liked her, but a reason.

Now here we were, Ned and I in our first fight ever because I liked a girl. It surprised me a bit. I mean, I heard of brothers getting in fights because of the same girl, but we didn't like the same girl. He liked Madison, and I liked Reagan. Unless...that has to be it! He said I could be stupid sometimes, that hints that I didn't understand something. I get it now! He isn't dating Madison because he likes her! No, he's dating Madison to get to Reagan!

That means we do like the same girl. Crap.
