The next morning, Max sat down and joined his mom for breakfast." How's school so far?" His mom asked while he eat his pancake.

" Doing great." Max answered." I haven't met this girl Cassie. She's like the talk of the town." His mom said.

" What?" Max asked confused." Everyone in work is talking about her." His mom said." Why? What's the issue?" Max asked.

" Well, everyone was just wondering where she came from." His mom said." She came from Las Vegas if everyone is asking." Max informed.

" Why do they care anyway? Have they met her?" Max asked confused." No, they said their kids are always listening to all her songs. They won't stop." Max's mom said showing a clip of Cassie in a music video singing with over millions of views.

Max's eyes widened." How come I didn't know she's a singer?!" Max asked himself." Well, duh, her target market are kids. And it's kind of her to make songs about motivation. It really helps. No wonder she's famous. My co-workers kids are obsessed with her and wanted to meet her, especially since she moved here." Max's mom said.

" Well actually, she's my close friend." Max said." Oh, how come you never told me?" His mom asked." Because you never asked." Max said.

" Alright mom, I better go to school." Max said grabbing his bag and heading to his car and drove away. 

" Twins, don't forget your lunch." Oliver and Liv's mom reminded placing their lunch for Liv and Oliver.

" Thanks mom." The twins said grabbing their lunch bag before heading out of the house and drove away.

" How's everything going in your life?" Oliver spoke as he drives." Why are you asking? We spend most of the days together... LITERALLY." Liv said.

" Well, yeah, but... I wanna know how you feel. We've never really had a heart to heart talk. Twin to another twin." Oliver said.

Liv looked at him like he's crazy." You're weird... just weird." Liv said looking out the window." Well, for me, I think you're hiding a secret from me." Oliver said that caught Liv's attention.

" What? No." Liv denied." I'm your twin, I know when you're lying." Oliver said." Well, it doesn't matter." Liv said.

" It matters to me. Any love life?" Oliver asked." Uhm... no, maybe you do. I see how you look at Cassie and how shy you get when she's looking." Liv said now with a smirk on her face.

Oliver couldn't help but blush and focused himself on driving." You're blushing. You guys look cute together. Just saying." Liv teased.

Oliver just chuckled." Dad, have you seen my bag." Liam asked coming downstairs." On the couch, you left it there the moment you got home yesterday. You seemed very tired. What's bothering you?" Detective Hayes asked.

" It's been really busy at school. The school committee's writing news articles every week and all this edits and other stuff." Liam explained.

" The school committee seems to be really productive for the first time in years." Detective Hayes said." Yeah, well, it's been really interesting for the past few weeks." Liam said.

" The last interesting thing your school wrote was about the break up issue and the other issue." Detective Hayes said.

" That was two years ago." Liam said looking at his dad weirdly." And speaking of the issue, you never solved the case." Liam said.

" Now, we stop there." Detective Hayes said." I'm going to school." Liam said before leaving the house.

When Liam arrived at Quinton, he met up with Liv and the boys." Hey." Liam greeted." Hey Liam." Liv greeted with a smile.
