Chapter 9:

Roxxi was outside of be school at the end of the day with Tess and Cymbeline.

"I think I'm going to break up with Braden," Cymbeline said.

"I thought you liked him," Tess said.

"I did but I've already conquered that goal and it's getting boring. I need a new challenge. Any suggestions?"

"I heard Dylan is single again," Roxxi said.

Cymbeline nodded thoughtfully. "I've always thought basketball players were sexy."

Thad came running towards them. "Hey Roxxi, can we talk?"

Roxxi glared at him. "Why would I want to talk to you?!"

Thad was surprised by the hostility. "What's your problem, I didn't do anything."

Tess and Cymbeline exchanged a look and snorted disgustedly.

He glared at them. "Will someone tell me what's going on?"

Roxxi crossed her arms and looked away. "Like you don't know. You didn't think I would find out?"

"Find out what?!" Thad said frustratedly.

"That you're dating my sister! I'm not stupid, I know what's going on! I saw you two at the Funk N Glow! After spending all that time leading me on you just turn to her huh? Well you know what, you can have Hera! I don't need either of you!"

"I'm not dating Phoebe! I never was!"

Now it was Roxxi's turn to be shocked. "Then why were you dancing with her at the club?"

Thad ran his hands through his hair. "I thought I liked her. I was just trying to figure out my feelings. But I like you more. I like your vibe. We can be great together. If you're still interested, I still wanna go out with you."

"Aww how sweet," Tess and Cymbeline said.

Roxxi crossed her arms. "I'm supposed to forgive you just like that?"

"I had hoped you would," Thad said. Then he did something unexpected. He took her face in his hands and kissed her. In that moment she remembered exactly why she had liked him and wanted to be with him so badly in the first place.

"Damn, I wish I a guy would do that to me," Cymbeline said.

"Same here," Tess said.

The two broke their kiss and Roxxi looked into his eyes. "I'll go out sigh you on one condition."

He raised his eyebrows. "What condition?"

"Never try to ask my sister out again."

He laughed and kissed her again. "I'll try my best."

*WW*

Later that evening Roxxi got home after spending the evening with Thad. She needed to talk to Phoebe. She knew she had A LOT of explaining to do.

She stood outside of Phoebe's bedroom door and knocked nervously. "Can I come in?"

"Sure."

Roxxi came into the room and found Phoebe sitting on her frilly pink bed with her phone in her hands.

"What's up?" She said barely looking up from the phone.

"I um, wanted to apologize for getting mad at you. I know you didn't steal Thad from me."

Phoebe looked surprised. "You thought I was going out with Thad?" All of a sudden she started laughing.

"What?" Roxxi said confused.

"I don't like Thad that way. I'm dating Sam. I thought you meant that you had been dating Sam before."

Roxxi started laughing as well. "Why the hell would I date Sam?"

"And why the hell would I date Thad?"

Roxxi sat next to her on the bed. "And another thing, I'm sorry I haven't been spending much time with you."

Phoebe shook her head. "No, I'm sorry for accusing you. We both have our own lives. I'm just too clingy I guess."

Roxxi put her arm around her sister's shoulders. "No you're not. I've missed you too. How about we go to the mall tomorrow. It'll be fun, just the two of us. And also you have to tell me how this Sam thing happened."

"Only if you tell me how you got with Thad."
