*PRINCETON'S POV*

I was about to get my lemon pie out of the oven when the door busted open.

"EVERYONE, FREEZE!"

It was the twins, Tim and Tom.

"What are you guys doing here?" I asked them.

"Save it, Princeton. We know that you have Heath." Tom shushed me.

No one shushes me in my own house!

"Well, yeah? Because you're wrong. I don't have her. Maybe Natalie kidnapped her or something." I removed my mittens.

"No one said anything about Heath being kidnapped..." Tim looked at me suspiciously.

"Lucky guess, duh!" I rolled my eyes.

"So why aren't you in school on a Monday, Mr. student council president?" Tom started interrogating me.

"Because I have important stuff to do." I began sweating like a pig.

"Like bake a pie?" Tim arched an eyebrow.

"It's for... charity." I made up.

"Who's that? You're sister?" Tim scoffed and I just gave him an annoyed look.

"You wouldn't mind us checking your bedroom, right?" Tom asked.

"NO!" My mouth accidentally let out.

"I mean, whatever." I scoffed.

OH MY GOD, WHAT AM I GOING TO DO?! FREAKIN' OUT ON THE INSIDE HERE!!!

"It's upstairs. Follow me." I rolled my eyes in secret as I led the way.

"You're taking us downstairs."

"Am I?" I tried to sound real mysterious.

"This is the basement."

"Right. I forgot. Silly me." I chuckled.

So I led them upstairs but not directly to my room.

"This is it, tadah..." I said nonchalantly.

"Hey." My brother, Keith greeted us.

"Are you sure this is your room?" Tom looked at me suspiciously.

"I don't see any Heath posters around." Tim scanned my brother's room rather briefly.

"What makes you SO sure that I have Heath posters on my wall?" These guys really know me well.

"You're a stalker." Tom grimaced.

"Good point." I grimaced right back at him.

"So what are you guys doing in my room again?" Keith stared at the three of us with wonder.

"You said this was your room?" Tim looked at me.

"Hey, I never said that. I was just... giving you a grand tour of my house." Clearly, I'm just stalling these two idiots.

"Cut to the chase and show us your room, man."

"You've got nothing to hide, right?"

I had no choice but to show them my awesome room. Here goes nothing...

"Well, there's the posters." Tom said.

But where's Heath?

"Okay, tour's over now get out." I clapped twice.

*CONNOR'S POV*

"I'm telling you, man, it's all about the body language. You can tell if a person's lying or not with the way she moves." I explained to Rick.
