Chapter 1
"Taylor!!" Zac shouted.
"What do you want Zac?," Taylor gave his brothe
r an annoyed glance.
"Where's your blue Calvin shirt?," Zac asked, looking
up pathetically from a pile of clothes that he had been
digging through.
"Your NOT wearing my new Calvin shirt!!," Taylor
shouted as he made his way through the pile of
clothes to his bed.
"But Tayyyyy! Why not?! Laurie's gonna be there.
I have to wear something nice," Zac whined.
"Don't you remember the last time you wore my
white Nike shirt?" Taylor cringed at the thought of
that memory. They were supposed to hang out
at Fox After Breakfast and eat while they other
guests were being interviewed. And Zac being
the klutz he was, spilled syrup onto this shirt
instead of the pancakes before the show even started
and had to change.
Zac ran up and hugged Tay, "I told you about a
hundred times already that I'm sorry. What do you
want me to do?"
Taylor shoved his brother off him and was
interrupted before he could answer.
"Tay, where's your grey striped shirt?," Ike asked
as he entered the room.
Taylor's jaw dropped. "Why does everyone wanna
borrow my clothes?!"
Zac jumped up from his spot on the floor and
ranover to the closet. "Ike, I saw that shirt about
20 minutes ago when I was looking through the
closet." Zac was throwing clothes around,"AHA! I
found it!! Here ya go Ike," he tossed the shirt to Ike.
"Thanks Zac. Tay, we're just borrowing them!
If it makes any difference you can borrow one of
my shirts." Ike smiled and left the room.
"But...." Tay's voice trailed off when he realized
Ike wasn't listening anymore.
"You guys!! We're leaving soon so hurry up!" Ike
yelled from the bottom of the stairs.
"Tay, I NEED it!!" Zac shrieked.
Taylor kneeled down and reached under his bed.
He pulled out the shirt and pegged it at his brother. He
made his way to the door and slammed it on his way out.
"Mom, I'm dropping Zac off at Laurie's house and me
and Tay are gonna stop at the mall. We'll be
back later." Ike said that just as Tay stomped down the
stairs and out the front door. Ike followed his brother out
to the car and they both got in.
:::HONK:::
"Where is he?!" The were both becoming very
impatient with their little brother.
After about five minutes of steady honking Zac
finally came out. He looked pathetic trying to carry Laurie's
birthday gift, his roller blades, and a box of cookies. Taylor
and Isaac watched and laughed as his brother made
his way to the car. Tay was surprised that he
had only dropped his roller blades twice on his way
to the car.
Zac put the stuff on the ground when he realized
his brothers weren't going to open the door for him.
He opened it and threw his stuff into the back seat and got in.
Once he had his seatbelt on he said sarcastically,
"Thanks a lot for the help you guys!"
Isaac smiled and Taylor laughed as they backed out
of the driveway and headed to Laurie's house.
They dropped Zac off and were on the way to the
mall when Taylor couldn't take the silence anymore.
"Ike, can we stop at the music store? I wanna pick up a
CD." Tay asked in hope of striking up some sort of conversation.
"Sure Tay," his brother answered and the silence returned.
Taylor turned on the radio during a commercial. He hoped
a song would come on soon so he could have an excuse for not
talking.
The first notes of MMMBop started and Taylor and Isaac laughed.
Taylor turned the music up loud enough so the people they drove
by could get a taste of it.
They turned into the mall parking lot.
Ike parked the car and they got out. Walking
past a group of girls got the two guys a lot of stares.
Why do they just stare? Why don't they ever say anything?
Isaac thought to himself as they went in.
After about an hour Taylor was upset. He didn't find the CD
he wanted, he didn't see the Wet Floor sign until he had slipped,
and the girls just kept staring at him.
They stopped in front of Burger King and went in.
They got in line and Taylor was debating on whether
to get a hamburger or Chicken Nuggets when a girl banged
into him. They both tripped over each other and fell into a heap.
Taylor looked up to see his brother and three girls
looking down at them hysterical.
"I am SOOO sorry!" The girl that had fell on top of him said.
"It's no problem. Are you OK?" Taylor asked when he
got his first look at her. She was beautiful. She had such
a natural look. She had brunette hair and huge
green eyes.
"I'm fine, thanks…" She slowed off.
"Taylor," he informed her.
She gave him a warm smile. "Thanks Taylor." She got up
and turned to her friends and gave them a little laugh.
They were still hysterical.
Ike offered his hand to his brother when he realized
he wasn't gonna get up on his own. Taylor ignored his
brother's effort and stood up. "I didn't catch your name." He
sad as he continued to stare at the girl.
"Ohmygod! I'm so sorry! That was so rude of me! I'm Angela."
She smiled and shook his hand. "I am really sorry again."
"Really, it's ok Angela. That's a really pretty name." He
said hoping to impress her.
"Thanks.." She said slowly. He didn't know how long he had
been staring into her huge green eyes when he felt Isaac tapping
his arm.
"Tay, what do you want? It's our turn to order."
Isaac said, getting a little impatient with his brother and his
constant girl obsession.
"Oh, uh, get me some fries. That's all." He turned to Angela,
"Would you like to join me?"
"I'd love to!" She said and followed him to a booth and said
across from him. She was about to say something..
"I'll be RIGHT back!" he said. He got up and went over to his
brother and waited for the food.
He's so cute!!! Angela thought as she watched Taylor
carry the fries back to her.
They finished their food and talked forever until Ike had had
enough. He walked over to their booth, "Tay, we gotta go get Zac
now."
"Oh Ok, Ang, do you need a ride?"
"If it's Ok with you, Isaac." She answered with hopeful eyes.
"Actually…" Ike started when his brother rudely jumped in.
"It's fine, we'll drop you off and then go get Zac.
He won't mind if we're a little late!"
