Warnings: scheming, teasing, nothing bad
Third Person POV

"Is there a reason we're watching their practice?" Kyler groaned, his head in his hands.

It had been about ten minutes since Jeremy's practice had ended and he was talking to his teammates for a few minutes before they left.

Kyler was now stuck with Aiden and Caden, watching Isaac and Jaden's practice.

It was slightly amusing as the two boys were constantly after each other's heads, but the three boys just wanted to go to the theater and see their cast mates.

"Because we're nice," Caden answered with a soft smile.

"I'm not," Aiden responded. "I'm just here because you guys are my ride," he informed them, grumbling softly in annoyance.

"I'm definitely not nice either." Kyler raised his hand.

Caden laughed a bit, shaking his head. "Chillax, you two," he told them. "Maybe we'll get something out of this."

"Like stiff bones from sitting here too long?" Kyler grumbled, rubbing his back.

"Or boredom?" Aiden continued. "Oh wait, we already have that." He smiled sarcastically.

Caden just laughed it off. "Jaden promised he'd help the techies with heavy lifting and stuff like that if we watched his practice," he reminded them.

"So that the people in the cast who don't want to, don't have to," Kyler finished. He rolled his eyes. "We know. We got it." He looked away. "Not that most of our cast mates won't do it anyway," he muttered.

"Is it nice to have a extra hands," Aiden commented.

Kyler shrugged.

Caden chuckled. "Look! Here they come now!" He pointed towards the De Luca sibling and the younger Northwick twin as they walked over to the bleachers.

Aiden narrowed his eyes at them, studying them. "Ten bucks they'll be together by the time we open," he bet Kyler.

Kyler grinned. "I'm in!" He slapped his hand.

Aiden smirked, looking over at him.

Kyler gasped, getting an idea. "Can we shove them in a closet together to speed it up?" he asked Aiden. "I'm tired of hearing their constant complaints."

Caden shot him a glare. "No."

Aiden shrugged. "If we speed it up, we'll hear about how much they love the other instead of how much they hate them," he pointed out.

Kyler shrugged. "That's debatably better," he responded.

Aiden shrugged. He made sure Caden wasn't looking, before winking at Kyler.

Kyler grinned, a hint of mischief flashing through his eyes.

Jaden shoved Isaac slightly as he stomped over to the group. He pulled Caden up and hugged him close, clearly very annoyed.

Caden laughed lightly, patting Jaden's back and ignoring Isaac's glares. "What's up, Jae?" he asked, looking slightly curious.

"We were put as partners," Jaden grumbled into Caden's shoulder.

Kyler and Aiden looked at each other and smirked.

Kyler calmed himself down and stood up. "Well, sucks for you two." He shrugged. "Now, stop pouting and let's go to the theater!" he exclaimed.

Isaac and Jaden rolled their eyes at Kyler in unison.

Aiden and Kyler quickly started running to the car.
