Caden stood uncomfortably behidn the fighting pair, watching the irritated Blake storm out into the kitchen followed by the upset Decker. He had always thought that the pair was strange, even stranger than people found his friendship with Decker. This wasn't the first time they had fought like this, Decker's constant desire to regain what he had 'lost' and Blake's unwavering conviction. Caden never knew which side to take. So instead of saying anything he just leaned up against the wall and sighed, watching them out of the corner of his eye to make sure they didn't break anything.

Suddenly there was another knock at the door followed by a familiar voice. He was sort of sad to see Blake take off so soon after arriving but he smiled and waved after the girl. "Catch ya later!" He called after, shuffling back into the kitchen to retrieve the soda Blake had pulled out for him. When he returned he raised an eyebrow at Decker's new expression. "A new flame huh? Some how I doubt that." He shook his head with a chuckle. "Alright Decker, who is it this time?" He asked, taking a sip of his drink before folding his arms across his chest.

((Last post before I take off! ^.^ I'll check in as often as possible.))

I am actually. You have something in mind?
Lorelei sighed and stuck her phone back in her pocket. He was a manipulative, cunning mess. She knew it, but she was so blinded. She shook her head and walked over to Blake. Casually, she looked around for a new dress, nervously waiting.

"I'll tell you who! It's Lorelei, Blake's pal!" He laughed loudly before texting her "You, me, park tonight. You'd better get ready beacause I won't take no for an answer. I'll see you then buetaiful." He gulped down his beer "Arent I good at these love games or what, huh little buddy? I'll be popping back to the apartment now. Thank for the beer. Late Cade!" Be patted him on the back, then hopped on his motorbike. "I've got a date, a date, I've got a date!" He sang merrily. He couldn't wait.

Blake had already purchased something when she looked up and saw Lorelei looking nervous while shopping. "What's got you so nervous Lor?" Blake asked cocking her head to the side. She knew Lorelei wasn't nervous about the gifts or shopping so what could it be.

Adelisa grinned at Adam as the song came to an end and said "that was awesome! Break time!" Adam said "hold o-" yet, he was interupted by Adelisa's hand on his face as she called Alice. She was hoping her friends would come say Happy Birthday or something atleast. Adam, on the other hand, didn't want his friends coming for his birthday. Only because they would make a big deal of it and he just wanted the day to be over. Adelisa frowned when Adam took her phone and said into the speaker "sorry, Alice. We're practicing a bit and Adelisa wants to slack off. I mean, you're not a slacker or anything… I mean…" he blushed slightly and cleared his throat "just go straight to the barn if you'd like to hang out today."

Adelisa's eyes widened when he hung up and she reached for her phone at the same time. She looked at her brother and said "they've never heard us perform! Oh god! What if they don't like it?!" Adam rolled his eyes and slid her phone onto the stool next to the microphone. "It's fine! Seriously! We've practice hundreds of times and your voice can match Amy Lee and Heart any day." Adelisa smiled at the complement and said "yeah… I guess your right. You also shred on the guitar so I guess we're good enough now for our friends to hear." He smirked and nodded.

Lorelei gulped and looked over at one of her best friends. She had to clear this up for Blake so she wouldn't have to put up with him anymore. "Y'all.. I have to go. I'll tell you about it later. I'll send the company car here so yall can get home. Blake, You'll thank me later." She weakly smiled and hugged both of her friends. She walked out and got in her car. "Oh god." She whispered to herself, resting her head on the steering wheel. The nerves set in and she looked at her phone, typing back to Decker.
Its a deal. Pick me up. 1324 Vera Street.

She drove off and felt the butterflies. She opened the gate to her house and parked. Running into the house, she threw her jacket and bag down. Lor ran up to her room and immediately changed into a white eyelet sun dress.

Blake frowned ever so slightly in confusion as she watched her friend walk away. "Um... Ok... Bye." She looked down at her bag of what she bought and looked back up. She wanted to go back to the soccer field and practice a bit on her own. Blake walked out of the mall and walked all the way back to the school. When she got there she went to the locker room and changed into black nike shorts, a gray athletic tanktop with black writing that says 'Eat sleep soccer repeat' and a royal blue nike sports bra. She then put on her cleats, socks, and shin guard before grabbing her soccer ball and running out to the field. She began to run drills by herself completely zoning out the rest of the world.

Decker ran straight to his room, unsure how to dress. He knew his plan, romantic picnic always gets them. Every time. "Ah, I know!" He put on a green plaid shirt and brown slacks. He struck several poses in front of his mirror, he always did that before a date. He ran onto the kitchen and made some sandwichs, and got some fine wine. And of course candles. He had to set the mood. He nervously looked at the clock. 7:15. Good he had some time. He quickly got a blanket and neatly put it in the basket. "Ok Decker. Food check. Awsome outfit, check. Beautiful date, check. All systems are go!"

Lorelei tucked her necklace into her dress and pulled on a red cardigan and nude colored flats. She looked in the mirror and nervously adjusted her outfit. She brushed through her hair and sighed. "You're doing this for Blake." She whispered. The girl sat on her bed and nervously pet her old pug. She'd really never been on a date. Lor kept to herself and usually stayed with her friends. Besides, who would want her?

Alice was blushing furiously as Lorelei teased her about Adam. She also made sure to say hi to Blake because even though they weren't really friends, she knew that Blake was a nice person and she was also Lorelei's friend. While Lorelei was looking at music sheets, Alice decided to get Adelisa a small music note pin with shiny gemstones on it for her collection. For Adam, it was harder to think of a gift. In the end, she bought him a cool looking black wrist band. Lorelei was acting a bit weird and disappeared suddenly. Alice was a bit suspicious but let it slide. She was probably busy with company stuff or something.

Her phone began to ring and she saw that it was Addie. Quickly, she picked up but was surprised to hear Adam's voice on the other end. He said something about meeting at the barn? Should she go home and change first? What should she do? The gifts she bought were already in gift bags so she could go. She looked down at her flannel and skinny jeans. She didn't need to dress to impress right?

Blake had already left for soccer practice or something so Alice took Lorelei's company car to Adelisa's place. She went straight to the back to where the barn was and took a deep breath before entering. Hoping she wasn't interrupting anything she called out, "Happy birthday you two!"

Adelisa jumped when she heard Alice and smiled. "Alice! Thank God! Atleast one of my friends said Happy Birthday!" She ran up and hugged her with a small squeeze. Adam blushed softly and looked down at his guitar, muttering out "thank you, Alice" before fiddling with his guitar nervously. Adelisa smirked at Adam, but looked down at Alice's necklace and frowned slightly. She wanted to hook Adam and Alice up but this necklace issue would probably stand in the way of that.

Adam sighed and texted his friend, Luke, Hey, bro… can you come over to the barn? Alice is here and you know how nervous I am around her. Save me! He looked over at Alice and smiled sheepishly, not knowing what to say.

Adelisa said "we were just finishing up practice. I'm so happy you're here! Where's the rest of the crew?" She was curious as to why Alice was alone because usually Alice had Blake and Lorelei with her.

"Here you go, Ojou-Sama. " Luke said as he handed the shopping bags to the Elder woman. Suddenly he felt his phone vibrate. He grabbed it and flipped it open, since it was a flip phone it was plain easy to find anything. Once he flipped it open he read the text Adam sent him.

Hey, bro… can you come over to the barn? Alice is here and you know how nervous I am around her. Save me!

Luke sighed and began making his way to the barn. Once he arrived he knocked on the door.
"Delivery! Yeah, Right, Open up its Luke!"

Lola sighed, instead of calling Adliesa, she'd just have to go to the barn. She wore more appropriate clothes, a red shirt saying. "I am

Depressed." and cheetah yellow pants. She looked at the mirror and she packed a backpack. She probably just ruined everything for herself, moving away from that boarding school. And dumping Jackie away, she wondered how Jackie felt! Lola was downstairs, backpack check, she had everything that she needed. And her white shoes, glory was on them. She stepped out of her apartment and she jumped onto her Stylish Hot Rod Scooter. She zoomed a long way to the barn, after the long ride. She got off, smiling standing at the door with her backpack. She rang the door, with flowers in her hand. She pretended to be happy, but she didn't know why she had flowers.

JACKIE
Jackie was home, sobbing in her pillow. Sad, like original she had portraits of all of her friends. Half we're teared, and those ones we're Lola. Jackie cried in her pillow, after everything she helped Lola with. It was all for nothing, Jackie kept crying.

"Hm.. Uh..well Blake had soccer, and Lorelei disappeared on me without really explaining so I don't really know. Oh, and don't be upset but Lorelei is throwing a huge bash for you two and everyone in the town will be there.. Probably. Is that ok?" Alice answered and returned Adelisa's hug.

She also smiled back shyly at Adam. Then in came Luke and Lola. Two very interesting people that she never really talked to and was a bit afraid to talk to. And Lola brought flowers for some reason.

"Hey Lola, Luke" she greeted them politely. She still had the gift bags in her hands for the twins to give, but she could wait til the party.

Having resurrected her room to a vaguely clean state again, or close enough anyway, she decided surveying the clothes hastily shoved in her draws and the paper littering her desk that hadn't been touched for weeks. Shrugging she threw herself down on her bed, a favorite thing she liked to do, letting the mound of lose blankets swallow her whole for a few seconds before the springs in the mattress repelled her out. Sprawling on her front she grabbed her phone, an old style for texting, calling and pretty much nothing else. Scrolling through her list of contacts, she paused for a sec on Blake's number, they weren't the best of friends, but they got along.

hey. you doing anything? :)

Raleigh threw down his back and took off his necklace, putting it in his bag. He looked up and saw a new face. Who was that girl? He grabbed his ball and walked behind her. "Blake, right?" He asked, dropping his soccer ball down.

Blake heard her phone vibrate. She jogged over and picked her phone up off the bench before reading Ryan's message before sending a quickly reply.

I'm down at the school's soccer fields practicing. You can come down and join if you wish.

Blake the turned around and pushed a few strands out of her face as she looked at the source of the person speaking. "Yeah, that's me." Blake said smiling. "I hope you don't get offended by me asking, can you remind me of your name. I've never really been the best with names." Blake admitted slightly embarrassed at the fact she couldn't remember the person's name. Blake began to play with her necklace as she bit her lip, the name then hit her. "Oh wait! Your Raleigh right?" She asked hoping she was correct.

"Yeah, Yeah. I'm Raleigh." He smiled, kicking the ball. "I see you around every once and awhile. Do you okay for the schools team? I think that's where I've seen you." He was happy to find someone who enjoyed soccer as much as him. He didn't really play competitively, but certainly loved it.

Blake smiled and nodded. "Yeah, I'm actually the girls soccer captain." Blake said in reply. "As you can tell by my shirt, soccer is my passion." She added with a slight laugh. "And you are a swimmer correct?" Blake asked feeling like she had seen him once before when she went with one of the soccer girls to a swim meet. One of the soccer girls was dating one of the swimmers.

"You know it." He smirked and kicked another ball. "Swimming and Soccer. Its my life. Do you do anything else?" Raleigh asked, smiling over at her. She was really pretty and she was the captain of the soccer team. That's pretty hot. "You must stay busy. You're a pretty girl."
