(Stevie)
Kacey was a genius. Let's just hope my mom is too.
"Mom!" I yell.
"What?" I hear her say on the couch. Kacey shows her the bag of bacon, and she snatches it. "Talk." she says ripping the bag open.
"I have... Boy problems." I say, and she freezes. After that, she laughs hysterically.
"Haha! Good one Steves!" she exclaims trying to get her breathing back to normal.
"I'm serious mom." I say, and she get's all serious again.
"Let me guess. Does it involve Zander?" she asks. I roll my eyes.
"Yeah."
"Give me the story."
"Well-"
"Molly is blackmailing Stevie to date Max. If Stevie does anything with Zander, she'll spread rumors about Gravity 5, and we won't ever be able to play a gig again." Kacey interrupts. Mom just gives me this stupid smile.
"Love triangle? My daughter? Zander? Max?" she asks and I start to feel blood rush to my cheeks.
"Do you think you can find a loophole?" I ask her.
"I am a lawyer-"
"Not legally."
"At least I have twice the brain capacity of your Uncle Spencer," she argues. It was true. "Exactly who is Max?"
"Max is one of the perf boys-"
"That's it!" mom exclaims.
"What's it?"
"According to our mother-daughter talks, you told me that Molly thought that Perfs and Gravity 5 shouldn't mix."
"Yeah. She doesn't want the whole social pyramid to end up in chaos." Kacey says, and realization hits.
"You can't be with Max because it's against her Perf policy!" mom says with glee in her voice. I guess she was really proud of herself. She stuffs more bacon into her mouth as a reward for herself.
"That's true, but what about the whole rumor thing?"
"Come on, she's perfect so she has to follow the rules, even if they are her own!"
"What if she wants to change them?"
"Hmmm... She can't just change them. Isn't there some kind of perf thing that has to be done before the rules are changed?"
"Actually, yeah. When I was a perf, we had to do this whole thing with a vote and chiz before the rule was removed." Kacey says.
"Well, my work here is done. Now leave me and Sir Baconbag alone please." mom says and we leave the room with weight off my shoulders.
Okay, I have to be honest. I kind of strangled myself trying to come up with this chapter, but I finally found a loophole. Let's just hope the ending will be great.
