"Lesson one." Grace pitched as she entered Theo's room. He was sprawled on the bed with his guitar in his hands. He looked up, his mouth slightly ajar and his eyebrows scrunched together in confusion.

Grace dropped her backpack on his couch. Yes, the rich fucker had a couch in his room. Room was an understatement. Grace had a room, Theo had a floor.

Grace looked at him and his guitar. "We'll get to the guitar soon enough. Go change into something nice, we are going out."

Theo placed the guitar down slowly. "Sorry...what?"

"She said lesson one, brother," Eriane answered entering the room. Eriane was dressed beautifully like most rich kids. Except her shorts were ripped because they were sold that way, not cause they tore after the millionth wash.

"This keeps getting better," Theo muttered sarcastically. He turned to Grace. "You involved my sister in this?"

"As an assistant badass-teacher thing, you report to me, noobie," Eriane replied to her brother as she folded her arms across her chest.

"It's newbie. But noobie works too." Grace corrected.

Theo sighed. "Are you getting paid?"

"Yes," Eriane said proudly. "In icecream."

Theo chuckled as he got out of bed. "Okay, where are we going?"

Grace folded her arms and smirked. "We are going to get you a girlfriend."

***

Theo pushed his hair back as Grace parked her car in front of a Starbucks. Fight Back by NEFFEX was playing on the radio as Grace checked her hair in the rearview mirror. And by checking her hair, she meant she was checking for pieces of popcorn leftover in her hair from Eriane threw the entire packet mid-air when she sped up the car.

But that's a story for another time.

"You ready?" She asked Theo.

"It's a date. I'm good with dates." Theo claimed as he smoothed his hoodie down.

Grace turned to eriane and raised an eyebrow in question. "He does fine." Eriane shrugged in response.

"Alright. Then why don't you go in? We will come in after some time and sit down a few tables behind you guys." Grace explained. "The girl's name is Amelia. She is the head cheerleader. She will help boost your status level at school."

"But won't it be like I'm using her?" Theo asked, looking a little concerned.

What a gentleman. Grace thought.

"I've already talked to her. She's ready to help." Grace explained. "Plus, this is just a date. She is going to help but if you actually like her then you can continue dating her. That's up to her and you."

Theo sighed. "Alright. I'll do it."

"Yeah, yeah. Don't overdo the acting." Eriane scolded from the back seat. "You're getting to date a hot cheerleader. Don't act like you're sacrificing a whole pizza or something."

Grace stifled a laugh.

Theo rolled his eyes and got down from the car. Grace and Eriane watched as he walked into the store.

Through the glass, they could see him walk towards Amelia and politely check if it was her.

"Do you like my brother?" Eriane asked as she offered Grace a stick of gum.

"Yeah, I do. Why?" Grace asked as she turned down the gum.

"No. Not that like. The like like. I-want-to-hold-his-hands-in-the-night-and-stare-at-the-stars-like." Eriane corrected.

Grace chuckled. "Darling, I don't think I will ever like someone that way. And to answer your question, no...I mean your brother is cute but I don't see him that way."

Yet.

▬▬▬

Yes, I changed to Grace's POV.
