~Chapter 7~ The next day, Lori came home early in the morning.  She first walked into her room to change her clothes.  Then she walked into Holly's room to wake her up.  As usual, Holly was half out of her bed and her mouth wide open.  Lori thought the best way to wake her up would be to stick something in her mouth.  She picked up a reeses peanut butter cup and dropped it in Holly's mouth.  Holly woke up with a quick jump.  She ate the reeses and said, "Thanks for breakfast.  What are you doing here so early?" "Duh!  I have to go to work in a little bit."  Lori answered.  "I can't believe you ate that.  Do you know how long that has been sitting there?" "No."  Holly answered getting up to turn on the radio. "You know what Holly?"  Lori said sitting on the bed.  "I love AJ." Holly didn't listen to a word she was saying. ~I keep thinking about that kiss last night.~  Holly thought staring down the steps.  ~I want to tell Lori, but I don't think I should.~ "Hello?  Holly!  Are you listening to me?"  Lori asked getting up. "Huh?  Holly questioned still looking down the steps. "Why are you starring down the stairs?  You in love with the Hallway?"  Lori asked.  Holly just stood there still staring, then gave out a small sigh. "Ooohhh!  Is Holly in love?"  Lori said getting up.  "Oh who is it?  Do I know him? "Yes you do know him.  I've like him for a long time."  Holly answered. "Oh my god!  It's Howie!  What happened between you two last night?"  Lori shouted.  "I'll tell you later."  Holly said as she walked down the stairs. ---------- "D, yo D!  Wake up!  Rise and shine sleepy boy!"  AJ shouted as he shook Howie. "Huh?  What?"  Howie said as he rolled over to find AJ standing by the couch. "D we have to go to an early rehearsal  So, come on hurry up and let's go."  AJ said pulling the covers off  Howie grabbed the covers and pulled them tight over his head. "No I don't want to go!  I'm too tires!"  Howie shouted,. "Fine.  You just stay there and I'll tell a certain someone, by that I mean Holly, that you like her."  AJ said starting to go up the stairs. "No!  No!  I'm up!  I'm up!"  Howie shouted throwing off the covers. "When are you going to tell her that you have feelings towards her?"  AJ asked looking in the refrigerator for food. "Maybe I'll tell her when we kiss again.  Howie mumbled. "What?"  AJ shouted almost dropping the food in his hand. "We sort of kissed last night.  It wasn't a big one kind of a small one."  Howie explained. "How long were you gonna keep this from me?"  AJ asked.  "I don't know."  Howie said just before Holly came down. "Hi guys!"  Holly said walking to the couch. "Hi guy, bye guys!"  Lori yelled as she ran down the stairs and out the door.  She only stopped to kiss AJ goodbye.  That's when Holly starting gagging making fun of them.  Lori gave Holly one of her evil eyes. "I'll see you later Holly."  Lori said going to her truck.  After she was gone, Holly noticed AJ eating their food. "Drop that baggle!"  Holly shouted getting up.  "That's our food!  We but it, we eat it!" "Fine me and D will get better food to eat on the way to rehearsal."  AJ said  "Come on D to the car."  AJ walked out the door. "Ok."  Howie said walking to the door.  "Ummm...Holly?" "What?"  Holly said walking towards the door. "Umm...bye, I guess I'll see you later."  Howie stuttered. "Bye."  Holly said watching him walk out the door. ~Chapter 8~ It had only been about 2 and a half hours since everyone left.  Amanda had called and was going to come over because she was lonely. Ding, dong!  Holly yelled, "Come in!  It's open!" "Hi, Holly.  How are you?"  Amanda asked eyeing all of Holly's bandages.  "Fine."  Holly answered kind of spacing out.  Amanda shouted excitedly, Lori told me you like Howie and that something happened between you two last night but you wouldn't tell anybody and..." "Amanda shut up!"  Holly shouted.  "I can't believe Lori told you.  I'm not mad but she should have told me she was going to tell you."  Amanda and Holly talked the whole time Amanda was there.  Holly left for work at about 6:00 pm and Amanda went home to Kevin. ---------- *A few days later* "Holly!  You awake?"  Lori shouted looking up the stairs. "Yeah why?"  Holly shouted back. "Because I have a surprise for you!"  Lori yelled.  All of a sudden there was a loud thump as Holly jumped down the staring tripping over Lori's shoe at the bottom. "Did you have a nice trip?"  Lori asked teasing. "Yes it was a lovely trip."  answered Holly.  "Now what is the surprise?" "We, as in you and me, and Amanda, get to go with the guys on a little trip in their tour bus!"  Lori shouted jumping up and down. "Cool."  Holly said.  "When do we have to pack?" "Umm...Like now!"  Lori shouted. "Fine, fine, I'll go pack."  Holly said going up the stairs. ---------- Ding dong!  "Holly!  They're here!"  Lori shouted as she ran towards the door. "Coming!"  Holly said carrying a backpack and her adidas bag. "Hi AJ."  Lori said kissing him.  "Are you girls ready to go?"  AJ asked. "Yes."  answered Holly walking out the door. "Ok then.  Let's go!"  AJ shouted. ---------- *On the bus* "So, where is my bunk?"  Holly asked as soon as she got on the bus. Amanda got up to show Holly, "Your bunk is under Howie's"  Amanda smiled as Holly put her backpack and pillow in the bunk. "Will you stop smiling at me?"  Holly said.  "It's scaring me."  "Amanda!  Where's my bunk?"  Lori shouted as soon as she got on the bus. "Above the messy one.  That's AJ's."  Amanda answered.  Holly walked to the back thinking, ~Why do they make such a big deal about this?~ ~Chapter 9~ Holly plopped down on one of the couches in the back just as Howie and Nick came in the back. "I am so going to beat you."  Nick bragged as he turned on the N64. "No.  You're not going to beat me because I have been practicing."  Howie said as he took a controller. "Hey look who decided to watch me win, if she stays awake."  Nick said nudging Holly. "I'm awake.  I'll go to sleep in awhile.  Probably after I watch you guys play."  Holly said with a yawn.  So, Holly watched Nick and Howie beat each other at many different games.  They played mortal kombat, Crusin USA, Crusin World, almost every 2 player game that was in the buss. "You know what?"  Holly started.  "I'm tired so, I'm going to sleep."  Holly then got up and started to set up her bunk.  She was just about to get into her bunk when she heard a noise from behind her. "Hey Holly."  Howie said.  "Me and Nick were wonderin, do you know who won the most games?" "I believe there was a tie."  Holly answered.  "I lost count after the first 10 games." "Oh, so it was kind of boring then to watch us play."  Howie said. "No I wasn't all boring."  Holly assured.  All of a sudden the bus made a very sharp turn making holly fall into Howie's arms.  They looked into each others eyes and kissed until they heard Amanda barge in and gasp out loud.
