Cole knocked on the door waiting for someone to open it which they did.

Marcus was standing near the front door and his hair was still green.

"Let me guess it was permanent?" Cole asked while trying not to laugh.

"Yeah and now I have to keep it like this for weeks."Marcus said

"Well it is really funny that Spencer did this to you." Cole said.

"I need to find a way on how to get him back." Marcus said while Cole walked inside the house and he closed the front door behind him.

"Well I hope you find a way." Cole said.

He walked to the living room and see his aunt and mom sitting on the couch talking about something so he decided to eavesdrop.

"It been two weeks since we got back together and I don't know how the kids are gonna take the news well I know they are going to be happy but honestly in the first place we shouldn't have gotten divorced." Selena said.

"Two weeks but I talked to her last week and she literally just said ex-husband when we were talking about it." Cole mumbled quietly.

"It is great to see you guys together again and I always thought he was a great person for you." Mom said.

"I know he is but-"

Another voice was heard behind Cole and he turned around.

"We are eavesdropping on people now huh Cole?" Jefferson questioned.

"No I am not." Cole said.

"Then what are you doing?" Jefferson asked while sweeping the floor.

"Just listening to their conversation not knowing that I am here." Cole said.

"So you are just basically eavesdropping." Jefferson said.

Cole rolled his eyes. "Okay maybe I am but I want to hear the whole conversation."

"Good luck with that when they catch you." Jefferson said

"They won't." Cole said.

"Oh you don't say." Jefferson said while walking away.

Cole's phone ranged which made his aunt and mom to stop their conversation and then turned around to look at Cole.

He took his phone out and he looked at the contact which said the house phone and he knows that Jefferson did that on purpose.

"I just came here like now not five minutes ago so that's all and I didn't hear anything else." Cole said.

"Cole you really need to stop lying." Mom said.

"And people ask why I hate lying to my relatives because they can literally knows that I am lying." Cole mumbled under his breath.

"I wished I was still in California and going to college there." Justin said.

Cole and his cousins were on a video chat with their other cousin.

"Then why don't you just transfer for your third year? Cole asked.

"I am planning to but NYU gave me a full ride scholarship and USC was my dream college but I don't know. Justin said.

"If USC had accepted you two years ago would you have gone there?" Gabriella said.

"Yeah I would have but the past is the past." Justin said.

"I thought you decided to go to NYU because of a girl?" Cole asked.

"What girl?" Gabriella questioned.

"Oh her nah it wasn't and besides she is old news." Justin said.

"Hold on Jonathan what are you eating?" Justin asked.

"Tamales I am eating tamales brother." Jonathan said.

"I missed mom's cooking so much." Justin said.

Cole laughed.

"That's sad but I love watching you suffer but New York's foods ain't that bad." Jonathan said.

"Some of the pizzas there are disgusting." Justin said

"You went to that pizza place please tell me you didn't?" Cole asked.

"Yes I did and I had food poisoning for three days." Justin yells.

"See I told you their foods were trash and they always reuse leftovers that haven't been by customers." Cole said.

"That's gross." Gabriella said.

"I know right." Cole said.

"I gotta go guys I have a study group to go to." Justin said.

"Since when Justin study?" Cole asked.

Jonathan shrugged his shoulders. "Like never but somehow gets straight As which I don't get at all." Jonathan said.

S/N:Before you ask, yes all the cousins except Cole and Gabriella go to college well Gabriella takes online school but yeah you know what I mean.

"So why am I here?" Cole asked looking around the mall.

"I needed a yoga partner." Julio said.

"You saw a girl and you wants to impress her didn't you because that is why you are signing up for yoga." Cole said.

Julio chuckled. "That's not-okay yes it is."

"Can I be honest with you?" Cole asked.

"Yeah what is it?" Julio questioned.

"Is this girl the type you could see with as long term relationship?" Cole asked.

"You are talking to me like you are my therapist but anyway to answer your question I don't fucking know." Julio said.
