Back in Breckenridge, the four friends were now all at Tory's house playing basketball. Tory and Chris were on one team, Zach and Xander were on another. They played until it got dark out then headed into the house. Chris and Tory beat Zach and Xander 25 to 22 and Zach was not happy

Zach: I just don't think it was a fair match

Chris:how was it not fair?!

Zach:you guys got the good hoop, yours was lower than ours!

Tory:You used the same excuse last time

Zach:well because its true!

Chris:But last time we were scoring on the other Hoop

Zach:{looks defeated}

Xander:we can still beat the ravens tomorrow

Zach:{cheers up} YEAH!

Chris:THATS THE SPIRIT! LETS GO

All Four:WOLF PACK! {howl in unison}

Alice:Alright, Alright! That enough {chuckles}

The boys:Hey Mrs Adler

Tory:Hey Mom

Alice:Well ...Im gonna be working late tonight at the Hospital so Jace is gonna babysi-

Tory:-Mom! I dont need a babysitter! Im almost Sixteen!

Alice:...to babysit Max...

Tory:Oh... Well, Im still capable of babysitting my little brother

Alice:But you'll be stuck babysitting these three {points at Chris, Zach and Xander}

Tory:you know what I think, I think you trust Jace more than you trust me!

Alice:Yeah, I do. I mean, he is my oldest child.

Tory:Who needs to have a life of his own so you shoul-

The front door opens and Jace walks in

Alice:{smiles mockingly} look who it is!

Tory:Ugh

Alice:Thanks for babysitting Jace, I know most Seniors have plans on Friday nights but-

Jace:-Mom, its not a big deal. I love hanging out with Max and Tory

Alice:{rolls her eyes} Yes, you are getting paid.

Jace:{sarcastically} Aww, you don't have to. {short pause} How much?

Alice:{rolls her eyes}7 dollars an hour

Jace:sounds good!

Alice:{rushing out} All the emergency phone numbers are on the fridge door, if you have any questions ask Tory. Err...I love you and try not to destroy my house {kisses Jace and Tory on the forehead}

Jace:Bye Mom {shuts the door after Alice walks out}

Jace started walking towards the living room where Tory, Chris, Xander and Zach were watching TV

Jace:hey guys!

All 3 boys:Hey Jace

Tory:{rolls her eyes} UUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGHHHHH...

Jace:Aww, I missed you too baby sis

Tory:Shouldnt you be doing something stupid with you fellow seniors?

Zach:How can you have the coolest brother and still complain!

Jace:{proudly}I know right

Tory:{walks towards the kitchen} I've lived with Mr golden boy... Cool isn't the first word that comes to mind

Chris:Come on, he drives us to school

Tory:{from the kitchen} Because mom makes him and we also go to the same school.

Xander:he let us hang out with his friends

Tory:Because he thinks I have a crush on one of them and he trying to humiliate me

Jace: I'm not trying to humiliate you, I just want you to talk to him!

Tory:{re-entering the living room} Im not hearing a difference

Chris:S...so you do have a crush on him?

Tory:What!! N...no, I just...

Xander:{gasps} You do! You have a crush on him!!!

Tory: No... Im just not comfortable with socializing in general

Zach:I cant believe it, Tory Adler has a crush

Jace:believe it!

Xander:Aww!!!!

Tory:Jace!

Jace:well, its true...

Tory:No, its not! Jackson is just intimidating

Jace:{Points accusingly} Aha! I never said who I thought you have a crush on

Chris, Zach

& Xander:YOU HAVE A CRUSH ON JACKSON!

Chris:{nervously}As in quarterback Jackson...

Tory:No! I Don't!

Jace:denying it wont help

Tory:Even if I did have a crush on Jackson, WHICH I DON'T! Jace would never let me date one of his friends so you still just wanted to humiliate me

Chris:so, you want to date him...?

Tory:No, Jace just thinks I do and wants to watch me embarrass myself.

Jace:okay, if you don't like him, how did you know I was talking about Jackson

Tory:because he intimidates me, I mean he scored a half court swish 3 times in a row, in one game!

Jace:{slightly jealous} Okay, and?

Tory:And! Are you kidding me? He is like the best basketball player in this town! Its like meeting Lebron James and acting like he is just, one of the guys

Jace:{rolls his eyes} Whatever

Tory:{gasps softly} Are you jealous

Jace:{walking away} I should go check on max

Tory:denying it wont help!

Jace disappeared into the hallway. Tory joined the other 3 on the couch and continued watching tv with them.
