Theresa, Dawn, and Zac took the elevator up to the seventh floor, to the room that Isaac, Taylor, and Zac shared. Inside were Isaac, Taylor, Nick, Aaron, Brian, AJ, and Kevin. Theresa looked around the room. "Where's Howie?" Theresa whispered to Dawn.
At that moment Howie sprang into the room with enthusiasm. "Guys! You are never gonna believe this!" Howie exclaimed. "There is a gumball machine in the lobby! Can you believe it!"
"Yeah, Howie, actually I can." AJ said, thinking about how big a dork Howie was. Actually everyone was thinking that. Everyone was silent, looking at Howie as if he was the biggest dork on earth. And he was.
"Howie, why don't you go get us all some gumballs." Brian said, hoping that would keep him away for awhile.
"Okely Dokely!" Howie said, as he sprang out the door.
"Hey you guys. Want a soda?" Taylor asked. Both girls looked at Taylor and stared in amazement. His hair looked like it hadn't been washed in months or even brushed for that matter. He was also all dressed in black. Both girls were in such shock, that they totally forgot about the question.
"Hello!" Taylor said sounding annoyed.
"Um, sure." Dawn replied, shaking herself out of shock.
"Well, then go get one, they're in the fridge." Taylor said sounding as if both girls were completely stupid. Both girls just kinda turned around and headed for the fridge.
"Just ignore him." Ike whispered to Theresa and Dawn," he's been being a brat all day.
"I think we can handle that." Dawn whispered back. Ike grabbed 3 Jolts out of the fridge, and handed two of them to the girls.
"So, what's all planned for tonight? Kevin asked everyone.
"I'll order the pizza!" Nick sprang to the phone. "Is cheese okay?" He asked.
"Yes." Almost everyone said, except Taylor, who said he wanted pepperoni, and Zac, who wanted anchovies?!?
While Nick was ordering the pizza, Howie came bursting though the door. "Hey, guys! I got a purple one!" He yelped.
"Oh my god, he's a freak." Theresa whispered to Dawn. Howie apparently heard her and gave her a hurt face. Theresa then began to feel guilty. "I'm just kidding, Howie. We still love you!"
"I love you, too." Howie said, thinking that maybe, in the very back of his mind that he may be developing a crush on Theresa….
