We were in the back room of Scoops Ahoy listening to the recording over and over again. When it stopped I could hear Erica, Lucas' sister, and Robin having a little argument over the peppermint stick.

"Steve!" I heard Robin call out and Steve just ignored her, eating a banana and listening to the Russians. Steve was walking back and forth while I was sitting on the table. Dustin stopper the tape, "So what you you guys think?" I shrugged. "It sounded familiar." Steve said, still eating a banana. "What?" I said, laughing. "The music. The music right there at the end."

"Why are you listening to the music, Steve?" Dustin raised his voice. "Listen to the Russian! We're translating Russian!" "I'm trying to listen to the Russian but there's music-" "All right, babysitting time is over. You need to get in there." I jumped a little, trying not to act too nervous. Steve stepped back a little. "Hey, my board! That was important data, shitbirds." Steve and Dustin scoffed and I smiled a little at that. "I guarantee you, what we're doing is way more important than your data" Dustin said, raising his eyebrows.

"Yeah? And how do you know the Russians are up to no good anyways?" She said, walking towards the table. I quickly turned my head to Dusty and Steve, my eyes wider than before. Dustin turned to Steve, "How does she know about the Russians?" Dustin asked him quietly. "I don't know!" "Y/n? You told her about--" "It was not me you idiot!" I raised my hands up in defense. "Hello, I can hear you- actually, I can hear everything." That made me blush, wondering if she heard Dustin and Steve earlier, pointing out the obvious. "You both are extremely loud." She finished looking at Steve and Dustin. 

"You think you have evil Russians plotting against our country, on tape, and you're trying to translate but you haven't figured out a word because you didn't realize Russians use an entirely different alphabet than we do. Sound about right?" "Holy shit!" I said loudly smiling, then laughing at Steve and Dustin. When I looked back at Robin, she was looking at me grinning. "I also know about your little crush, Y/n." Shit. My heart dropped. I stopped laughing and started blushing, hard. I wondered if I had heard her right or if it was just me being paranoid. I tried to stammer out words but was intterupted by Dustin and Steve laughing at me. I guess I did hear right. I just looked down at my feet, still blushing. Then Robin tried to grab the tape, but Steve pulled it back. "Whoa! What do you think you're doing?" Steve asked, loudly. 

"I wanna hear it." "Why?" Steve and Dustin asked in unison. "'Cause maybe I can help." She said, "I'm fluent in four languages you know." "Russian?" Dustin asked, intrigued. "Ou-yay are-yay umb-yay." She said in I'm assumming Russian. Steve started laughing, "Oh ho ho!" "Holy shit!" Dustin said and I could practically hear him smile. "That was Pig Latin, dingus." I looked back and Steve slapped Dustin with his banana peel, "Idiot." he said to him. "But I can speak Spanish and French and Italian, and I've been in band for 12 years." She says sitting in the chair near me, and I swear my heart could've jumped out of my chest. "My ears are little geniuses, trust me." Steve started to stammer a bit, laughing nervously. "Come on, it's your turn to sling ice cream, my turn to translate! I don't even want credit I'm just bored." Steve sighed and Dustin and I looked at him. He took the scooper from Robin, and she took the tape from him. 

I huffed as I followed Steve out the door. "Steve! Wait." "Wait a second-- let me take this order." I sighed. When he was done taking a girls order he came over to me. "What's up?" He said resting his hand on the counter. "Did you tell her??" I asked rather quietly. "About?.. Oh- no I didn't." I looked at him in disbelief. "What! I didn't!" "Ok! Ok- but uh.. is there any way th-that you could.. bring me closer with her?.." I asked as I squeezed my eyes shut. It was quiet for a second, then he started laughing. "What is so funny?!" "No-nothing- I'm not helping you! Do that yourself." He said clearly wiping away tears. I thought for a second. "Hey!" I said startling Steve. 

"You think I could get a job here?"
