Manners. [[COMPLETE]]

Chapter Three.

SIMON'S POV:

I walked over to (Y/N)'s house after I finished peeling potatoes for Cook. I walked up to the front door, and knocked. Kylie opened the door, and smiled.

"Hey, Simon!" She greeted.

"Hi, Ky." I replied, and we walked into the living room, where Wilfred was sitting next to you on a couch, his arm around you.

I held back a grimace. Your eyes landed on me, and lit up. I sat down next to you, and Kylie sat down in between you and Wilfred. There was another knock on the door, and Tora got up to answer it this time. Tora walked back inside, Stephelia trailing behind her.

Stephelia sat on the couch with Eric and Amelia. Amelia hugged her older sister, and continued her conversation with Eric. Stephelia started to braid Amelia's hair. I put my arm around you, and pulled you closer. Stephelia glared at you. She looked at me, and smiled. I glared at her. Stephelia huffed, then regained composure. She grinned an evil looking grin. I swear she is the devil's daughter.

Father called out for my younger siblings to go home, probably to clean up the toy room. Mr. Blacke called out for Amelia, too. Once they walked out of the house, Stephelia looked at Wilfred.

"Wilfred, truth or dare?" She questioned.

Wilfred smirked. "Dare."

Stephelia drummed her fingers on the arm of the couch, thinking.

"I dare you to... Kiss Kylie. A proper kiss, too. Right on the lips." She said, an evil look on her face.

(Y/N) gave Stephelia a good glare. Kylie went red, and his her face on your shoulder. You put your arms around her. Kylie muttered something, but I couldn't hear what she said. You nodded, presumably at what she said, and stopped hugging her. Kylie took a deep breath.

"How long does Wilfred have to kiss me for?" Kylie questioned.

Stephelia tapped her chin with her fake nails and thought.

"30 seconds." Stephelia replied, and Kylie nodded.

Kylie and Wilfred leaned in, and their lips met. Stephelia looked up at the clock, keeping track of time. The 30 seconds were up.

"Time's up." Stephelia stated. Kylie pulled away from the kiss, and ran upstairs. You ran after her.

Reader's POV:

I ran upstairs after Kylie. I looked in my room, and she was sitting on my bed, her face in her hands. I sat next to her, and put an arm around her. She sighed heavily, and flopped backwards onto her back.

"Why are emotions so complicated?" She asked.

I thought about how to word my answer, 'Well, emotions are different for every person.'

"Well, I don't know what emotion I am feeling." She stated.

I nodded.

'Well, can you describe the feeling to me? Maybe then I can figure out what you are feeling.' I signed, and she nodded.

"Well, whenever I look at the person, it's... It's like I have no words to describe what I am feeling. I mean, it's like I don't know what words to say. I have this funny feeling in my stomach whenever I look at the person, and-and it's so frustrating!" She exclaimed.

I grinned. 'You're in love.'

She sprung up off of the bed, and looked at me, bewildered.

"N-No, I can't be in love. You know that." She said.

I pulled her into a hug.

'I understand if you don't want to tell me, but who is the person?' I questioned.

Kylie remained quiet. I nodded my head, a sign that I respected her decision to not tell me.

'Wanna go back downstairs?' I asked her.

"Yeah." She replied, and we pulled away from the hug, and went back downstairs.

Simon's POV:

(Y/N) and Kylie came back downstairs, thank god. Stephelia was annoying the hell out of me! I was honestly one second away from telling her to go back to her house, and leave me alone. (Y/N) sat down next to me, and Kylie sat down on the couch along the back wall, then Wilfred went over and sat down next to her.

Stephelia was over on the other couch all alone. There was a knock on the door, and Kylie got up to get the door. Stephelia was burning a hole in the side of your head, so I kissed your forehead. Stephelia stopped glaring at you. Tora, Aggy, Lily, Amelia, Eric, and Seb all walked in. Seb and Tora sat on the love chair, Amelia and Eric with Lily, and Aggy, then Kylie and Wilfred sat on the couch along the back wall.

Stephelia moved over onto the couch with us, because it was getting crowded on the couch along the back wall. I spotted Eric and Amelia's entwined hands. I nudged (Y/N), and gestured towards Eric and Amelia's hands. She grinned.

I heard Father call out for me, and Mr. Blacke called out for Stephelia.

Stephelia and I excused ourselves, then walked out of the McPhee household, over to my house, because that's where all of the adults were, except Angela. Stephelia and I were walking upstairs to Father's study, but out of nowhere she pulled me into a broom closet, and slammed her lips onto mine. I tried to push her off but I couldn't. I heard the closet door open, and someone gasped. Chrissy.
