Chapter    Thirty-Four

" Damn June slow down." Sati as she took June's seventh cigarrette in a row from her hands. June glared but didn't protest.

" So when is your car getting up here?" Lynne asked as she ground out her cigarrette.

" In a couple of days." June said. " I'm thirsty be right back." June said disappearing. A few moments later she returned with a beer.

" Thanks for getting me one." Kara said as she went to get one herself.

" Isaac would croak if he knew the real me." June said.

" What do ya mean?" Sati said as she took a sip from June's beer.

" He thinks I'm a good girl." June said laughing. Sati couldn't help but laugh.

" How's the painting and stuff coming along?" Sati asked. She pulled her hair behind her ear.

" Hey when did you get that done?" June asked. She leaned forward. Sati had the top of her left ear peirced.

" A couple of days ago. You want to get it done?" Sati asked. June thought for a moment.

" Ok. Be right back." Sati said. She left. Kara came back.

" Now where were we?" Kara asked. June shrugged. A few moments later Sati returned. She had alchohol, ice, and a needle. " What is that for?"

" We're going to do June's ear." Sati said. June sat up straight. Sati rubbed the spot with alchohol. She gave her the ice. June sat there with the ice against her ear while Sati prepared the needle.

" I'll go find a stud to put in it." Kara said leaving. Lynne turned a sickly green color. Kara returned with a gold butterfly stud with a small diamond in the middle. Lynne left the room when Sati put the needle to June's ear. She pushed it through. She quickly pulled it out and put the earing in. (** Ok people, you might think that this chapter is rather gross. I have in fact done this myself and the stud I used is the butterfly. Don't think I'm strange for doing this or stupid. People here do this all the time. ** )

" Thanks." June said. Her ear felt fine... for now. She stood up and went to go get Lynne. Lynne was sitting at the table. Her head was in her hands and she could tell that Lynne was crying. " Don't cry! I'm all right. See?" June said.

" I'm not crying over that." Lynne said sobbing.

" What then?" June asked sitting beside her.

" Me and Blaine broke up." Lynne said. The name sounded so familiar. " He left me for some slut." she added bitterly.

" But you two have been together for almost two years!" June said angerly. " He can't do that!"

" But he did!" Lynne said crying harder.

" Who is she? Tell me so I can take the little bitch out." June demanded. Lynne hesitated. " Who is it Lynne?" June asked softly.

" Kay." Lynne said. She wiped her tears off her face.

" Kay? Oh God. I remember she said something about him this morning. I didn't think about it." June said. " I'll kill her."

" No don't." Lynne said. " If Blaine is willing to dump me after all this time for a little hoochie then they deserve each other." Lynne declared.

" You're right." June said thoughtfully. " Guess what!" June said happily.

" What?" Lynne asked caustiously.

" I know someone you can get hooked up with." June said. June was now grinning. This was perfect.

" Who?" Lynne asked.

" DJ!" June said. If she could get the two hooked up DJ would forget the feelings he thought he had for her. He was most likely confused.

" DJ? But he likes you!" Lynne said.

" No he doesn't." June replied.

" Any fool can see it but you June. He's been in love with you since kindergarden." Lynne said softly.

" No!" June said. " He can't be."

" Why not?" Lynne asked.

" Because.... because....." June said. " We grew up like brother and sister that's why!" June said finnally. Lynne shook her head.

" I've known him just as long as you have, even longer! I know he loves you." Lynne said.

" No he doesn't" June said softly. " Well, if you don't want to get hooked up with him then don't." June said. " Who else is there?"

" June I need time to get over Blaine." Lynne said. June saw the expression in her eyes. She didn't want time for herself. She wanted to give Blaine time to realize his mistakes and come back to her.

" Ok." June said. Kara and Sati burst into the room.

" Hey guys. Sup?" Sati said sitting down.

" Nothing much." Lynne replied.

" You guys want to spend the night today?" June asked.

" Of course." Sati replied.

" Sure why not." Kara said. They looked at Lynne.

" Yeah." She replied.

" Well since I'll be over at your house later with the guys you can just come home with us when leave if that's alright with you." June said.

" Whatever." Lynne said. June, Sati, and Kara glanced at each other. They had to figure out away to get Lynne and Blaine together. Lynne looked so lost without him.


" Hey guys what's wrong?" June asked. Isaac and Zac shrugged. Was it her imagination or was Zac and Isaac ignoring each other. " Anyways, are you guys ready to go?"

" Yeah." Taylor said standing up. Zac got up. " Comming Ike?" Taylor asked. Isaac stood up. They went out side and began walking to Lynne's house.

" Do you have to walk right on top of me Zac?" Isaac snapped. Zac looked at June. June looked confused. Zac was a couple of yards away from Isaac. Taylor looked like he was about to say something but he shut his mouth. They would probably just tell him to shut-up again. June pulled Isaac so that he was on the other side of her so that he would have no reason to complain. They held hands as they walked. They reached Lynne's house.

" Bout time you got here." Lynne said as they went inside. They decided to watch a movie. Addey bounced into the room and sat next to Zac. She gave him a light peck on the cheek.

" There he goes cheating again." Isaac muttered under his breath. Zac kicked him in the shin. Isaac kicked him back. Pretty soon they were both on the floor pounding on each other.

" BOTH OF YOU GET UP." June yelled. " RIGHT NOW!" June said pulling them apart. " Excuse us for a minute please?" June said to Taylor, Addey, and Lynne. They left. " What is the matter with you two?"

" June we're-" Isaac said.

" Sorry? Do you know how embarassed I am?" June yelled. " You both are acting like immature babies. Grow up! You two apologize to each other."

" No!" Zac said definiantly. June glared at him.

" Fine then don't. Until the two of you can get along again I'm not speaking to either of you." She said turning on her heel.

" June!" Isaac called out. She kept walking. Isaac turned to Zac and hit him in the arm.

" What the hell was that for?" Zac asked as he rubbed his arm. " Don't blame this on me!" Zac said when he saw the look on Isaac's face. " You're the one who started it." Zac said. Isaac sighed. He was five years older than Zac. He should know better.

" Listen I don't feel like fighting anymore." Isaac said. He hated being the first to apologize but it had to be done. He didn't want June to be pissed at him any more.

" Yeah me to." Zac said. They smiled and went to go look for June. They found them sitting on the porch.

" Our deepest apologies for our rude and immature behavior." Isaac said. June smiled. He sat down next to her.

" Sorry for being a moron." Zac said sitting down. Addey scooted closer to him. Taylor felt like he was left out. He needed to find someone for himself. He watched Isaac and June enviously. Lynne sat there staring off into space. ' Well I can forget her. She's obviously not all here today.' Taylor thought. 'Aw forget it. I still have Sissy.' Taylor said smiling. He'd call her tonight. He'd tell her how much he missed her she say the same and he wouldn't feel so bad.

" Why do you have that goofy smile on your face Tay?" Zac asked. Taylor smiled even wider.

" No reason." Taylor shrugged. Zac had a look of doubt on his face.

" Ok." Zac said. Taylor went back to smiling to himself. 'That boy is crazy.' Zac thought to himself.


**********       Later    That    Night       **********

" Hey go back a channel!" Sati shouted as they channel surfed. They were all crowded in the den. Kara went back a channel.

" I am not whatching Brady Bunch reruns." June shouted from the doorway. Her arms were loaded with chips, pop, candy, and a movie.

" But I like this one! It's the one where Peter's voice starts to change and-" Sati saw the looks on their faces. " Oh fine be that way." She mumbled.

" You know what? Taylor's voice is going to start changing soon." Kara said. " Maybe people will stop mistaking him for a girl now."

" Nobody has mistaken him for a girl." June said trying to defend Taylor.

" Addey said that guys kept comming up to Zac to ask who he was only the reffered to him as a she." Lynne said.

" Why would they ask Zac?" Sati asked. Lynne beaned her with a chip.

" Becuase they showed up together and they were probably too shy to go up to her- oops him," Lynne said giggling. " So they asked Zac instead since they figured that they knew each other."

" Hey leave Taylor alone." June said.

" What happens if his voice starts changing when they are recording?" Kara asked taking a drink from her pop.

" How should I know?" June asked shrugging her shoulders. " Wanna watch the movie?"

" Yup." Sati said as she put in The Crow.

" You guys know what?" Kara asked. She went on when nobody answered. " I think Zac would look cute if he put his hair in those little braids like Marc that one time."

" Yeah he probably would." Sati said not taking her eyes off the screen. There was a knock at the door. " It's open."

" Yeah but are you all wearing something that's not too revealing?" Zac shouted through the door.

" What the?! " June said when she heard Zac say that.

" No Zac we're all buck naked in here." Lynne shouted.

" Really?" Zac asked through the door. Lynne slapped herself on the forhead.

" I bet that kid will believe anything." Sati said. She looked at Kara and Lynne. They smiled at the same time.

" No. You leave that poor boy alone." June said but they pretended not to hear.

" Ok Zac come on in we're dressed now." Lynne shouted. She surpressed a giggle. He opened the door.

" What do you need?" June asked. Hopefully he'd get whatever and leave quickly.

" I was wondering if I could watch the movie with you guys." Zac said. June looked at her friends then at Zac. He'd be hurt if she told him to leave.

" Of course you can." Sati said sweetly. Zac plopped down next to him. " On one condition."

" What?" Zac said.

" You let us help you." Lynne said.

" Help me do what?" Zac asked cautiously.

" Well....... we weren't going to tell you but your face needs a bit help." Lynne said.

" What's wrong with my face?" Zac said. June could see alarm fill his face.

" Well hun, you're going to get a lot of zits later on if you don't do something now." Sati said catching on.

" Why?" Zac said feeling his cheeks. They felt pretty smoothe to him.

" Because you have to do something speacial to prevent zits. And us girls only know how. Notice how we have zit free faces?" Kara said.

" Let us help you Zac." Sati said trying to look sincere. Zac looked up at June only to find that she had left.

" Ok." Zac said giving in. " What are you going to do?"

" Don't ask to many questions hun." Sati said as she reached into her over night bag. She pulled out her makeup.

" Ain't noway in hell I'm wearing makeup." Zac said standing.

" You want to end up looking like a pickle?" Lynne asked. Zac sat down back down.

" But make up is only for girls." Zac protested.

" Not really. Actors wear makeup. And their skin is clear." Lynne pointed out. She grabbed some foundation. " You know what this is?"

" Not really. My mom uses it though." Zac said emphasizing mom.

" Oh well it smoothes you skin out." Sati lied. They began working on his face.

" Close your eyes Zac." Lynne said.

" Why?" Zac asked.

" Because if some of this stuff gets in your eyes you could go blind." Lynne answered. Zac shut his eyes tight.

" All done." Kara announced.

" Thanks." Zac said. He stood up to leave.

" Aren't you going to watch the movie?" Sati asked. Sati didn't look at him directly in fear that she would bust up laughing.

" I want to see if my skin looked smoother." Zac said. He left. He passed June on the way towards the bathroom. June stared at him and gawked. " What?"

" What did you let them do to you Zac?" June asked. Zac ran into his bathroom. He was about to scream but June stopped him.

" Here use this to get that shit off." She said giving him some cold creme. " Don't let them know they got you."

" Then what do I do?" Zac asked.

" What everybody else would do." June said. Zac turned to the sink. It was cluttered with bottles of shampoo and conditioners that Kara, Lynne, and Sati had brought.

" And what would that be?" Zac asked s he moved the bottles.

" Get even." June said leaving. Zac began to wash his face. How could he get even with them? He reached for a towel. He knocked over a bottle of shampoo in the process. He picked it up. He got and idea. Zac went and found Isaac. He convinced him to go on a journey to the nearest store. They walked into a drugstore. He finally found what he was looking for and they left. He couldn't wait for tommorow.
