I was sitting in my bunk, notepad on my lap, pen in my hand. Tapping the pen against my chin a few times I continued to brain storm. I needed to find a way out of this situation. I had started brainstorming that one night but I got caught up with my mom and all.

I let out a heavy sigh. What to do. I only have one idea. 'Talk to Josh about it', but I would find it incredibly hard and I would need to get Josh alone and- there's just so many things that would need to happen, I'm not sure thats the best way. I internally groaned, I wouldnt be in this situation if I never said Josh was attractive.

Just as I was about to give up I remembered why I was in this situation.

"Halo! Sit there, I wanna be able to talk to you and see your face" Brendon said pointing to the seat across from him. The seat next to Josh. I rolled my eyes. "You can see me when I'm next to you" I gave Brendon a warning look. He just smirked. "What? You don't want to sit next to Josh? What's wrong with Josh?" He asked playing innocently confused. "Yeah Halo, do you not like me?" Josh asked.

I discreetly glared at Brendon as I took a seat next to Josh. "Nope, there's nothing wrong with Josh" I said trying not to rip Brendons head off. He sat there with a smirk on his face, he got what he wanted. "Of course Halo thinks there's nothing wrong with Josh, don't be stupid Brendon" Jack said as he sat next to Brendon. I rolled my eyes and flipped Jack off.

He put his hand up to his chest pretending to be hurt. "Wow Halo, just cuase you have a-" I cut him off by kicking Brendon who let out a yelp. He glared at me, "what was that for?!" I smirked, "next time it's you Barakitty." He smiled, "sure princess." With that I kicked him and he let out a small shriek, "Sorry Halo." I crossed my arms, "that's what I thought."

That was a close call. Too close. I closed my eyes, I really need to think of an alternative. I couldn't though, it was hard, thinking hurts my brain. Honestly I need a break.

Closing my notepad, I got out of my bunk and went to the lounge. Brendon and Dallon were playing Mario Cart. I decided I didn't want to be in the back room and walked downstiars.

"HHHAAAAAALLLLLLLLOOOOOOO!!" Jack screamed and ran over to me. He picked me up and spun me around while holding me tight in his arms. "Yes Jack?" I asked once he stopped spinning. "I looooooooooovve you" he kissed my nose then put me down. He soon skipped away and towards the kitchen downstiars. "I love you too?" I was confused as to what just happened. I mean I know what happened I'm just unclear of why it happened. It is Jack though.

I walked to the bunk where Alan and Phil were talking. Passing them I walked into the backroom. "And that is why I believe it is necessary to go bowling naked," was the first sentence I heard from Alex when walking in. I rose an eyebrow, "I dont even wanna know." I leaned against the door frame and waited to see what wierd thing happens next.

"Oh! Halo! Just the person I was looking for!" Dad ran over to me and grabbed my hand. "Come with me!" Before I could question his actions he began pulling me. "Where are we going?" I asked while he pulled me upstairs.

He stopped pulling me when we got to his bunk. "Halo! I want to know which shirt I should wear for the concert tonight- speaking of, are you coming this time? You havent really been watching the concerts- it fine, I just wanted to know if you were coming." He showed me a plain grey shirt and a white shirt that had black stripes. "Yeah, I'll go this time. And it depends what you're wearing, I can't just pick a shirt if I don't know what you're wearing." I said before pulling open the bunk across from dad and sitting in it.

"Well I was planning on wearing my flag skinny jeans with my black shoes and this grey jacket" he showed me each of his outfit items before placing them back in his bunk. "I think instead of your grey jacket you should use your dark grey vest, and that grey shirt- why do you need help picking an outfit? You don't normally need help, unless this is a distraction- this is a distraction isn't it?" He nodded his head and I dramatically fell back in the bunk I was sitting in.

"Please, please, please tell me this is not about Josh" I said covering my face with my hands. "Fine I won't say it, doesn't mean I'm not thinking it." I groaned, "really? Ugh, I'll be back." I started to head back downstiars but before I did, I turned and said "You're a sucky distraction." He smiled, "Am I?" then sent me a small wink. I rolled my eyes before booking it downstiars.

Once I was downstiars, I walked around looking for anything out of the ordinary. I couldn't find anything though, that made everything even more suspicious.

"Halo!!! What's up!!" Alan yelled as I walked passed him. "The sky, ceiling, Jacks ego, lots of things" I commented as I continued to walk around. Maybe something's happening upstairs.

I walked back upstairs and found dad in his outfit that I "helped" him pick. I literally just told him to change his jacket. "Hey! You!" I said and walked over to Alex. "Did you lie?" I asked, he just shrugged. "Maybe I did, Maybe I didn't, Maybe it's Maybelline." I rolled my eyes but couldn't stop the smile that appeared on my face. "You're an idiot" I said shaking my head, a small laugh escaping my lips.

"I was just kidding, it was funny to see you freak out though," he laughed. I reached over and smacked his shoulder. "Ow, haha, you hit like Jack" he laughed more. I rolled my eyes and headed for the kitchen. "We should be there in about 10!" Dad called after me. I gave dad a thumbs up, then grabbed a gatorade.

Taking a seat on the couch next to Dallon, I watched as Brendon destroyed Dallon at Mario Cart.
