Marissa grabbed a towel and got it damp. She gave it to Alex and as she tried to walk away Zach sat her down.

"Now." Corbyn came around, "We are going to be civil here."

Jack and Jonah leaned on the other side of the counter. Zachc clapped his hands together, "Why were you guys fighting in the first place?"

"Because she spends so much time with you, she neglects us." Alex said.

"So jealousy?" Zach asked. Alex nodded slowly and looked down, "Ok then, why did it end up in fighting?"

"Zach is acting so smart..I'm so proud." Jack whispered to Jonah.

"Ever since I completely blocked Jordan out of my life..thank god..Jonah was there for me..and.." Alex turned away from everywhere, "Because if her-because of me, he doesn't even want to look at me."

Jonah looked up.

"Well, did you ever think maybe you need to take time to yourself?" Marissa asked.

Alex shrugged, "But where would I go? My house is a complete mess of people I don't want to be around-"

"I could pay for a trip somewhere, and you could take some time off." Jonah quickly said, "Just name the place."

Alex looked at him, "Really?"

"Alex, I love you, but, I want you to love yourself first. And if a little thing like Marissa spending time with Zach is going to aggravate you, I want to fix that." Jonah said, coming around and hugging her.

"Thanks Jonah." Alex said hugging him back.

Zach grabbed paper, "Maybe a sport?"

"Like how Regina George fixed her problem?" Marissa grabbed chips and leaned on the back of the couch where Zach was sitting, hovering over him.

"Well there's going to the gym? Work it off? Boxing?" Zach started writing stuff down.

"Oooor, we could do something else-"

"Marissa, I want it to be your thing, you gotta be able to do it when I'm not here." Zach chuckled. Marissa groaned and laid her head in his lap.

Daniel checked himself in the mirror for the fifth time, "Are you sure I shouldn't put on something nicer?" He asked, anxious.

"Daniel, you are perfect just the way you are." Raven hugged him from behind, "I'm not dressing fancy."

"Yes but I'm trying to impress them."

"Then dont try! Just be Daniel!" Raven squished his cheeks.

Raven pressed the remote and turned it on 80's music. Wake Me Up Before you Go-Go started playing. Raven smirked. She took Daniel's hands and lead him out of the bathroom to the living room. She started to dance silly, making Daniel laugh.

"You are so cute." He chuckled.

"Dance with me!" She said.

They jumped around. They twisted and sang.

"Are we interrupting something?" Ethan laughed. Daniel and Raven jerked their heads to the open front door.
