Kealia was peacefully walking down the doorway, her earphones on. She was thinking about her day, about Tobin, and then about what she ate at breakfast, and then how Tobin was dribbling down the whole field during practice, and then that she probably should call her dad, and then about Tobin's smile. 

She was snapped out of her 'Tobin-trance' as a warm hand grabbed her arm. She jumped, and was thrown against a wall. A door was slammed, and she regained her mind. She looked around her, and saw a totally panicked Maura Rys, and then a quite worried Ashley Sanchez. But Mal, on the other hand, was just lying on the bed, not giving a shit about Maura's despair. Kealia's eyes went back and forth between the three girls, taking the time to really observe Maura. Her green eyes were wide open, and her hands were shaking. 

The blonde middy sighed. 

"What's your problem, damn it !" she then exclaimed, trying to forget the fact that she was scared by a kid. "You don't kidnap people like that ! You could have asked me like 'Hey, K, do you mind coming in my room ?' or something ! Geez, I-"

"I am Tobin's sister" Maura blurted out. 

Kealia's eyes went wide. "WHAT ?" 

"Yeah."

"Holy shit... Now that you mention it, you kinda look like her... You have the same beautiful, breathtaking and intense eyes, and then- wait, did I really say 'breathtaking'? I meant-"

"Oh, trust me, we all know what you meant" Mal let out, smirking. 

Kealia threw her a death glare. "Whatever. Does she know ?"

"That's the problem" Ashley said, rolling her eyes. "She kinda hid it from her." 

"You lied to Tobin ?" the middy asked, quite surprised. 

"Yeah, kind of..."

"Kind of ? What does that even mean ?" 

"Chill, I only discovered it like two weeks ago. The only people who know are you, those two goofballs, and my biologic parents" Maura went on. 

"Okay... Why did you tell me though ?" Kealia asked, frowning. 

All looks were now locked on her. She suddenly felt pretty old. 

"Well, you're very close to Tobin it seems-" Maura started. 

"I'm not- Have you seen Allie ? Because she is Tobin's best friend" the middy said, totally surprised. "I mean, I though it was obvious because of the whole 'Harry' thing, and then everything else, but yeah..."

"Exactly !" the young defender exclaimed. "You are close to her... in an other way. Like, more in a spiritual way." 

"In a spiritual w-"

"Translation : you have a crush on her" Mal yelled. 

Kealia's face turned red. Geez, this kid really has no chill.  "I don't-"

"You do" Ashley cut her. 

"I really would be grateful if you could just, like... talk to her ? I mean, find out if she already knows, maybe know what she thinks about me ? Or... Stuffs, you know ?" Maura went on, ignoring her friend's comments. 

Seeing how desperate she was, Kealia just sighed. "I guess I can do that."

Cari got out of the car first. She opened the car door and held Moe's hand in a bridal style, as she was making sure her summer dress wasn't touching the ground.
