"I swear Cole Castillo, I will break your baseball trophy!" Lilian yelled at her brother, running around their dorm room they have to share. He laughed.

"Not if you catch me, loser! Cole replies, wiggling his fingers by his head, then sticking his tongue out at his sister. With his height of 5'10, it was going to be an easy game, or so she thought.

    Lilian was fuming. Nobody touches her phone, especially her brother. Last time this happened, she got into a serious argument with her BFF and they didn't speak to each other for a whole three days. Three days! When Cole realized that his sister was pissed, he tensed. He is going to have to make a good dinner for the both of them after the rath he is about to experience.

    Cole quickly darts into the kitchen, sliding Lilian's new phone into the cabinet and races into the living room yet again with his younger sister hot on his tail. Next thing he knows, he's getting tackled to the ground, landing with a grunt. Lilian managed to take him down. She had a smirk on her face and extended her hand out for him to give up the phone.

"Past it over hotshot." Lilian said, "I don't have all day." Cole raised an eyebrow and smirked. Lillian's wavered.

"Don't have it!" He cried as his sister started smacking him on his chest. 

    He jumped up, grabbed his car keys and headed for the door. Lilian looked at him, confusion written all over her face. She got up too and followed her brother to the door.

"Where are you going at this time?" She questioned him. His answer was quick.

"Going grocery shopping. We have like, no food in this place beside snacks."

"Uh, so?"

"So I'm sick of chips and salsa for dinner. I don't have to cook if you don't want me to." This shut her up.

    If there was one thing she was more impressed about her brother being Co-Captain of the baseball team would have to be his cooking skills. His food is like eating at a five-star restaurant. It's rare for him to cook these days because of school, baseball, and our jobs. Cole grabbed their shopping-list that they leave on the fridge and left, locking the door behind him.

    Lilian frantically went looking around for her phone, finding it ten minutes later where Cole hid it. She plopped down on the sofa and turned on Wreck-it Ralph. Then she remembered. She needed to get ice-cream for Isabella and herself. 

    Lilian totally forgot her BFF was coming over today. It also occurred to her why Cole had decided to cook instead of ordering a pizza for all three of them. Cole had a crush on her best friend and well, vise versa. She encouraged the two to hook up already but they both feel like it would be a bother to her. 

    She quickly pulled out her phone, sending a message to her brother.
