Max and Kate were in the schoolyard. Max was skating and Kate was practicing some tricks with her skates.

"Those boys were being creepy, you know the four boys that sat in front of us." Kate said to Max while pretending to show Max a new turn set.

"Yeah, I know." Max commented. "Let's scare them a bit." Kate said while discreetly showing her a piece of paper because she felt as if they were being watched by those creeps.

Kate wrote a fairly kind note on the paper and went back to practicing her tricks.

-Stalker time-

"There's no way that those two are the ones that beat our highscore." Dustin said as Lucas was looking from afar at the two girls.

"Yeah, girls don't play video games." Will said as he watched Kate start to attempt a new trick while Max was sitting on a bench.

"Even if they did they can't get 780,000 points on DigDug It's impossible." Mike said, slightly amused with the score.

"But her name is Kate and her's is Max." Lucas said. "So what" Mike said, completely oblivious to the reason Lucas was trying to use this information for.

"So, how many people with names like theirs do know?", Lucas asked, looking at Mike instead of the two red-heads.

"I don't know." Mike said not wanting Lucas to be right about this. "Zero, that's how many." Lucas said.

"They show up at school the day after someone with their same names breaks our top score." Dustin shrugged.

"Exactly, so she's gotta be BBKATE." Lucas said. "And plus, they skateboard so they have to be pretty awesome." Dustin said, as Kate and Max grabbed their things.

"Awesome? you haven't spoken a word to either of them." Mike stated with an annoyed tone.

"I don't have to. I mean look at her. Shit, I lost target." Dustin said secretly talking about one of the red-heads in particular.

The 4 boys looked back at the position the girls were previously at. Sure enough the girls were gone.

Kate and Max went up the stairs but Kate threw the sheet of paper from earlier into the trash.

The 4 boys rushed to the trash for the sheet of paper. Dustin digs in the trash while the other 3 boys try not to be too obvious about what they're doing.

"Got it! There we go." Dustin said, opening the crumpled sheet of paper.

"STOP SPYING ON US CREEPS, OR WE'LL BEAT THE SHIT OUT OF YOUR SCRAWNY ASSES." the 4 boys read in unison slightly scared.

"Yeah, a bit scary." Dustin said. "But her handwriting is nice." Mike said making the 3 boys raise their eyebrow at him.

-Time to visit everybody's favorite abusive brother-

"You're late" Billy said, stating the obvious at the 2 red-heads.

"Yeah, only by two minutes." Kate said before getting into the passenger seat of Billy's car.

Billy and Max got into the car and immediately started arguing over some nonsense Billy brought up.

After a long car ride full of arguing and obnoxiously loud music they finally got to the skating rink.

"You can go get you some rental skates. I'm gonna use my own." Kate said to Max before spotting the 4 stalker boys from earlier.

While Max was headed to get her skates Kate skated up behind the 4 boys.

"What're you doing here?" She said, making the 4 boys jump and turn around.

"We came here to skate. Why else would we be here." Lucas said, trying to be confident in front of the short but intimidating red-headed girl.

"Bullshit. If you were here to skate then why are you standing here looking around." Max said, skating next to her sister.

"We were just looking for...... The games. Yeah the games." Mike said while trying to come up with a reasonable lie.

"Cut the crap. We know you've been watching us and we know you've been watching us." Kate said to the 4 boys.

"Ok fine we've been following you guys." Dustin said quickly, not wanting to get beaten up.

"Yeah, no shit but why?" Max said, getting annoyed.

"Because you beat our highscores." Lucas said.

"So you spy?" Max said, like it was the dumbest thing to do.(which it was).

"Uh, yeah." Dustin said now realizing it was a dumb idea.

"Ok, let's cut to the chase because I came here to skate and eat not to talk. You're going to stop being creeps and leave us alone. Got it." Kate said, just wanting this conversation to be over. Kate was actually a fairly nice girl. Not that they knew that.

The 4 boys immediately shook their heads and the girls went to do what they came to do before Billy came to pick them up.

The boys left feeling stupid about the whole talk.

"They're scary." Will said, stating what's on everyone's mind.
