Chapter 7

Isaac and Taylor barely talked to each other for the next few days. Everyone was rather concerned as this wasn't like them at all. Of course, by now Taylor and Amarita were an item.

Taylor was just thinking about think one morning while he was shaving, when he dropped the razor. He stared in the mirror and frowned slightly.

"Why am I dating Amarita?" he wondered aloud. "I don't even like her!"

He finished off his daily preening, then went outside to where he was going to meet Amarita that day.

"Hi Tay!" she called.

"Hello." He replied.

"What on earth?" Amarita wondered. "My change - it, it faded! How could this happen?"

"Hey, there's something I wanted to say." He said.

"He is not going to break up with me!" Amarita practically screamed inside her own head. One again, she conducted the change of heart that she had done before.

"Yes sweetie?" she asked.

Taylor frowned.

"Break up with her? Why would I want to break up with her?" he wondered.

"I just wanted to say I love you." He told her.

Amarita was all smiles.

"I love you too."

Isaac and Zac were playing basketball in the yard.

"He shoots... he scores!" Isaac exulted.

Zac wiped his sweaty brow with his sleave.

"Oh gee man, what are you? Telekinetic or something?" Zac joked.

"Yeah Zac, that's exactly it. I'm practicing for my audition to join the X-men."

Zac laughed.

"Ok, now prepare for your butt to be kicked dude. I'm gonna beat you at this game yet!"

"Sure you will."

"I am!"

"Not."

"Will."

"Not."

"Will."

"Well, if you want to prove that, maybe we should start playing?"

"Oh yeah!"
