Preston glanced over at Sierra and Garrett for a couple seconds and then turned back towards me.

"Talia, I'm gonna make a move," He stated, giving me a determined look.

Before I said anything, I looked behind me to see if Andrew, Trevor, or Olivia were listening.

"How are you going to do that? Especially since she's with Garrett?" I asked, nodding my head towards them.

Preston shrugged and picked up his instrument. "I don't know, but I'll figure out a way, and you're going to help me."

"You too, Steve," He added, causing Steve to turn around.

That's when Steve pointed at Preston with both of his drumsticks. "I got you fam."

Steve's pose looked really awkward and funny, so Preston and I began to crack up as he turned back to his quads.

"What did I just see Steve do?" Andrew asked, laughing as well.

"A really awkward pose," I answered with a grin.

Andrew raised his eyebrows and chuckled. "Wow, okay."

Suddenly, the atmosphere got all awkward and tense.

.. And I'm pretty sure it's not because of me or Andrew.

I looked over at Preston to see him looking over at Sierra and Garrett.

When I looked over at them, my timing was on point because I caught Sierra playfully punching Garrett on the arm.

I admit, they look kind of cute together, but that's obviously not what Preston's thinking.

"Talia..!" Preston whipped around and looked at me.

That's when Andrew gave me a nudge. "Hey, I'm gonna go over there and talk with Trevor and Olivia."

I nodded my head and gave him an '0kay' before turning back to Preston.

"Sierra and Garrett? I know, I saw. What's your plan?"

Steve overheard me and Preston talking, so he turned around and joined in the conversation.

"Yeah dude, what's the plan?" Steve asked, basically repeating what I said.

Before the conversation went any further, Steve looked at me. "Talia, isn't that Andrew's sweatshirt?" Steve asked, placing his hand under his chin.

I raised my eyebrows and replied, "Uh, yeah.. You just noticed?"

Steve laughed and nodded his head in reply, causing me to slightly laugh as well.

"Okay, anyways, the plan. What's the plan?"

Preston looked at us with a blank expression before answering. "Steve, throw a drumstick at Garrett."

... Wow he's desperate.

Both Steve and I stared at Preston, speechless about his 'plan'.

"Are you trying to get me in trouble?" Steve asked, squinting his eyes.

"Hm, you're right. You could miss and accidentally hit Sierra instead.." Preston reasoned, putting his hand up to his chin.
