Chapter 6

Elisia’s POV
    I was walking along the beach on my own, because I didn't really feel like socializing at the moment, when Michael ran up to me.
    “You here to make fun of me or piss me off?” He looked at me surprised before talking.
   “What? No. I may not like you but I like my friends, and if I can set them up so they are happier then I will. Unfortunately I can't do it on my own, and the guys aren't able to keep secrets.”
I looked at him confused, “I'm not following, who are you trying to set up?”
   “Liana and Luke. Liana was sitting writing a poem and I secretly read it. Now this poem seems to describe someone's eyes, supposedly Lukes. I've come to this conclusion because she kept looking up in his direction as she was writing.” Michael replied quickly. This whole thing made me suspicious. Wait...Liana? My sister Liana? Well of course, my sister, who else does he know with that name.
   “Okaaaay, who are you and what did you do with Clifford the Big Red Dog? It doesn't matter how much you care for your friends, you hate me. You would never be nice to me.” I questioned hesitantly.
   “Like I  told you before bitch, I’m doing this because I want Luke to be happy, I'm willing to be ni-no I’m willing to be decent enough to you for him, no one else.” He said spitting at my feet. I quickly jumped back before it hit me though.
   “Oh do I sense a bit of jealousy in your tone? Do you wish Luke was gay? Do you wish you were a girl instead of a dick?” I said back with a smirk, poking his chest as I spoke.
   “No you don't! And no I don't! Now will you help me or not?!” Michael snapped, pushing me back, almost causing me to fall. Lucky for him I'm as graceful as a butterfly.
   “Alright, alright. I'm sorry. Yes you heard me, and I'm not going to say it again so you better treasure those words with all your heart. Yes.” I said with a slight chuckle
   “What? And don't worry I'll hold them tightly.”
I looked at him and rolled my eyes,                     “Yes I'll help you set them up. Are you stupid?” I said before walking back to Liana and lying down on my towel beside her.
The next five days went by quickly as Michael and I planned. We decided that we would set up this “tour” thing, having one of my friends as the “tour guide” who will end up leaving some how. Her name is Tyler, she decided to come and visit from Canada. Anyways, we decided on telling Luke and Liana that all of us are going on a tour of the Rainbow Falls and are going to meet up for it, the only thing is, we aren't actually going to tell the others, so it will just be Lia and Luke.
Michael and I had just finished up some last little touches to the plan, and were playing video games in his room. We had become closer as we got to know each other over the past few days, though we still have our moments. I was just sitting there killing zombies as I waited for him to come back with the snacks he went to get. I was too lazy and refused to get up, like excuse me I'm the guest, anyways it had been a few minutes and I started to wonder what was taking so long. I thought I was just being impatient when I heard Ashton and him talking.
   “What's been going on with you and Ellie? You sure have been hanging out a lot lately.” Ashton said accusingly.
   “So what? I thought you guys wanted us to get along?” He said back to Ashton trying to avoid the subject.
   “And I thought you told me to stay away from her because she was a bitch and was bad news?!” Ashton raised his voice slightly, as I paused the game, getting up to get closer so I could hear better.
   “I was wrong okay!? She's not that bad! I said all that and acted the way I did because I was jealous of her and scared that I wouldn't be wanted around anymore, since she's way cooler!” I instantly smiled at the thought that I was cooler than him and headed downstairs sneaking up behind them.
   “Awww honey, nobody could replace Clifford the Big Red Dog.” I said sweetly with a slight smirk.
     Later on that day around 5 p.m. it was finally time to put our plan into action. I went back to me and Liana’s place to meet Liana and tell her about the “plans”. I sat on the couch, waiting for her to come down as I was far too lazy to go up there. I sat there for a good 15-20 minutes, just watching Doctor Who, until Lia came down.
    “Hey, you’re back. You sure have been spending a lot of time with Michael? I thought you two didn't get along?” Liana greeted as she came down the stairs.
   “Yeah, I am, it’s about time you came down the stairs. Yeah, we’re okay know, I guess. Anyways, we are all planning to meet up at Rainbow Falls for a tour. I’m going to be picking up some things before we go, so I’ll meet up with you there along with the others, except for Luke, as he'll be picking you up. I need to make sure we don't lose our reservations, and I need the boys help to carry some things. The tour starts at 6 p.m.”
Liana nodded in response as she down on the couch.
   “Well I’m going to go upstairs to get ready. I’ll see you in a bit.” I said as a cover up.
I headed upstairs, to my room, before texting Michael and Tyler, letting them know that the plan was on the go, so Michael can tell Luke and Tyler could get things ready over on her end. After that I decided to get changed and head back over to the guys’ place to hang out with Ashton, Michael, and Calum.

Michael’s POV
    As soon as I got Ellie’s message, I went down the hall to Luke’s room. He was listening to some band that he wouldn't stop listening to. Something Liana had recommended or something. I knocked, hearing the music pause before Luke shouted,     “Come in.”
    I walked in.
    “Hey dude. Elisia and the guys and I decided it would be cool to take a tour of Rainbow Falls tonight at 6. But we need to get a few things but we also need to make sure that our reservation is all good. So we were hoping you and Liana would go up there.”
    “Yeah sure.” Luke jumped up and started to look for fresh clothes before going into the bathroom. He came back out, freshly shaved and his hair fixed up. I gave him that “What the fuck just happened look” but he just shrugged and headed out with his keys.
    “Well that was easier than it should have been,” I mumbled, slightly laughing to myself.
