"Dylan! You're not going to believe what we just saw! Tyler and Brody were hanging out." Gina exclaimed as we ran into the HQ. "Like, they were getting along?" Dylan asked. "Yeah! They just ran up, took our kelp, and ran off giggling." I explained. "Giggling? Okay, first they bail on us, and now they're bro-ing out?" Logan says. "We should spy on them. But not because we miss Eric." Lizzie points out. "Why would we miss Eric. The only one that should be missing someone is Callie?" Gina says. "Wait, you and Tyler are together?" Logan asks. "Yeah." I nod as I pull my hair into a bun. Thank god Tyler's hoodie was covering the large bruise on my neck. The five of us ran to the balcony and used the binoculars to find them. "Found them." Logan said, passing the binoculars to Dylan.

I scanned the ground as Dylan looked through the binoculars. I saw Tyler's dirty blonde hair glowing in the sunlight. All of them ducked behind a half way wall that looked into the parking lot. Brody walks up to the guy standing in front of a car with a suit on and starts talking to him. "That's Thorton Pavey's limo!" Dylan says. "Garvin hates that guy." Logan says. Brody leads the guy away from the vehicle and the guys carry the seaweed to the car. I furrow my eyebrows as I watch them be idiots together. They start shoving kelp into the car. "What are they doing?" I whisper yelled. "Can you imagine how fast we would have been done if they would have stuck around to help us today?" Gina asks. "Probably not as fast, Tyler gets distracted easily and I don't know about Eric." I shrugged. "That's true." Dylan agrees. We watch as they run away with the tarp that held all of the kelp. "That was weird." We all agreed as we watched then run. They disappeared from view soon after.

"Whatever, I want to know what they're planning." Logan and Dylan say.

"Let's just go to lunch." I shrugged. We all nodded and walked to our towers and back to get our lunches. Logan sat down with us as we saw all the boys sitting together. I could feel Tyler's glances at me, but I ignored it and continued talking to the girls. "Why is Tyler staring Callie down?" Gina asked. "He does that when I don't give him attention." I shrugged as I took a bite of my sandwich.

"Watch, I'll glance and he'll look away." I said as I swallowed my bite. I glanced over at Tyler and sent a smile, then turning back to the group. "Is he still staring?" I asked. Gina glanced and reported back. "Nope." She laughed. "Told you." I shrugged as I heard the boys cheer. "Anyways! I was thinking of having a pod sleepover for the girls this weekend, but my house isn't large enough for three girls. Does anyone have room and their parents are okay with it?" Lizzie asked. "Yeah, I can ask my parents. My oldest brother is going out of town to be with my grandparents and my other brother is going to be at his girlfriends." I said. "Sorry, I can't come this weekend. My mom planned something." Dylan says. "Okay." I say as I close everything up. "We should get on the bus and wait till one of the guys gets up to get food. Then, we'll pull them in and ask them questions." Logan suggests. We nod and agree with her. "If it's Tyler, go for the hair. It's his biggest weakness." I say.

Lizzie and I glanced over and saw the boys passing around a book. Tyler grabbed it and started writing in it. We finished our lunches and sneaked onto Vooch's bus. I placed my things down and waited for someone to approach the bus. Sure enough, it was Tyler who approached. Gina pulled him inside and we closed the blinds. "What's going on?" He asked as I pushed him into a seat.

"We're asking the questions here." Gina growls. "Yeah! What's going on?" Dylan asked. "We saw you guys today. We know somethings going on." Logan says. "Logan? What is she doing here?" He asked, not looking at me on purpose. "A lot has happened while you were gone. Friendships were formed in the flames of sisterhood." Dylan exclaims. I look over at her with a confused expression on my face. "Take it easy, we just hung out." Logan says before turning back to Tyler. "And you! Quit avoiding the question! What're you up to?" Logan shouts. "Were not up to anything." He says.

"Wrong, let's try again." Lizzie says before picking up a large spoon and taking it near Tyler's hair. "I encourage you to think long and hard about how much chili you want in your hair before you answer." Lizzie says. "Okay, calm down! There's no need to threaten the hair!" Tyler exclaimed as he went to protect it. He sighed and glanced at me. I encouraged him to tell us with my eyes.

"Garvin asked me and Eric to join a...a...super cool club!" He explained. I furrowed my eyebrows and placed my hand behind him on his seat. "With Brody, Spencer, Dirk, and Beans?" I asked. "Yeah! We're all friends now." He says. "Oh! I get it, you and your little boys club gets to run around and have fun while we're stuck here working!" Gina exclaims. "It's not a boys club, it's for the people in the best towers." He explains.

"We're in the same tower! Why weren't we asked to join?" Dylan asks. "I don't know! Wait, why weren't you asked to join?" He asks himself.

"Because its a boys club! Typical Junior Rescue. Garvin giving the boys whatever they want." Logan growls. "That's not true, okay? Ask any of us. Me, Eric, Brody, Spencer, Dirk, beans."

"You didn't mention any girls." Lizzie says. "Yeah! Cause it's all guys!" He says. I groan. "It's a boys club, idiot!" I exclaimed. He looked up at me as I ran my fingers through my hair. "How did I not realize this?" He asks, reaching for my hand. I pull back and move to stand next to Lizzie.

"Because it doesn't affect you!" Gina growls. "Okay now I see it. How are you guys not madder about this?" Tyler asked. "We gotta do something! We have to fix sexism." He continues. "What?" Lizzie asks. "Sexism? It's where you're discriminated against because of your gender?" Tyler explains.

"Come On Guys, get woke." He laughs. "Everybody out." Gina says. "I'm murdering him." She continues.
