James's POV,

I woke up and found that Brad's arm were around Maggie's waist. I pushed myself up from the bed and sat on the sofa looking confused. Were they together?

"Morning!" Tris and Lizzie said as they both rolled over.

"Morning," I said wiggling my eyebrows at them. Everyone started to get up except for Brad and Maggie. We decided to go into the kitchen to rage for food.

"OMG it's like a flipping tsunami in here!" I nearly shout.

"Not me," Lizzie says and Connor and Tris put their hands up in surrender.

"BRADLEY WILL SIMPSON!" We all race back into the living room and start tickling Brad.

"Guys chill!" He moans at us trying to free out of our grip. Maggie got up and sat on the sofa confused.

"You seen your kitchen?" I asked her. I saw her face freeze.

"Shit!" She swore under her breath and ran out. That's the first time I've ever heard her swear. I followed her and she turned off the tap.

"So?" I stand in the doorway giving her the look.

"What?" She winked at me and passed me a towel.

"You and Brad?" I smirked.

"What about us? We're just friends!" Maggie tells me. Yeah wright, friends my ass.

"So him pulling you closer to him and you both sleep isn't anything?" I raise one eyebrow as we both mop the floor.

"I didn't even know," she said looking down at the floor.

"Sorry..." Brad came in looking sad.

"Haha, no worries Brad, it's fine now see?" Maggie reassured him and we put the towels into the washing machine.

"Pop tarts for breakfast sound good?" She asks us.

"Yeah!" Brad says and runs out.

"I swear that's all you eat Mags!" I laugh.

"Maybe, maybe not!" She smirks and puts them into the toaster.

We were all getting to know Lizzie a bit better. We found out that her parents didn't really care what she did. That she had two cats and was afraid of horses. Maggie and Brad weren't in the room. I only just noticed.

I walked down the long corridor and saw the door to the music door slightly open. I slowly peek my head through and see Maggie and Brad sat at the piano and it looks like they're either writting a song or I don't know.

"The fear of your words, the fear of your breath," Maggie sang as she gently hit the keys.

"The fear of the world, the fear of regrets," Brad sang the next part hitting more keys.

I decided to go back down so I didn't ruin their moment.

"They alright?" Connor asked.

"Who?" I said, not wanting it to look like I was spying on them.

"No one..." Connor said looking at me suspiciously.
-
"Truth or dare!" Lizzie came back with a bottle and that's when Brad and Maggie decided to join us.

"Where were you guys?" Con asks them smirking.

"Music room Connor my boy," Brad answers and they sit in the circle.

"Isn't it a bit early in the morning for this game?" Maggie asks.

"What do you have against truth or dare at 9 in the morning?" Tris asked. I could see how much Maggie tried not to burst out laughing.

"Nothing... Just that I need to go for a jog and..."

"Oh come on! You don't NEED to," Tris said to her. He was correct though. I didn't see why she did. Maggie is one of the skinniest girls I've ever seen. Not that size matters, of course it doesn't, but just stating.

"James come for a jog?" Maggie practically begs and I nods.

"Oh now you are stealing Jimmy Jams?" Tris argued.

"Lizzie will come up with dares for you guys!" Maggie said and we both walked out. I didn't even notice she got changed.

"I hate truth or dare..." Maggie tells me as we turn the right corner and up the trail we always take.

"Why?" I asked her.

"Last time I played, I had to kiss a boy who liked me, in a closet, and it didn't end well..." She said blushing.

"First kiss?" I raised my eye brow.

"Kinda..." She said and blushed more. I didn't mean to make her blush.

"I'm not too keen on it either, I just hate the fact that the dares and truth are sometimes so personal..." I added.

"I agree!" She said and we jogged on.

When we returned the living room was at it's normal state and the mattresses were back where they were meant to be. I think Connor or Lizzie must of thought of packing away, as Tris and Brad wouldn't care.

"Maggie I have news!" Lizzie said and took Maggie away.

"What's that all about?" I asked. I saw Connor look at the floor and Brad looking away.

"What did you do..." I wanted to hear it.

"Lizzie said she wouldn't tell! I hope she doesn't!" Con said.

"Say what?!" I half screamed at them.

"That we like her..." Brad said and walked off.

"Lizzie?" I questioned.

"No you silly!" Con added. Oh.

Maggie's POV,

"Spill it you little-" I didn't finish because she sat me down.

"Oh I can't, I promised I wouldn't!" Lizzie said. Sometimes I wanted to punch her so badly but then she's my best friend so...

"Really?" I asked almost begging.

"Sorry," she said and walked down stairs.

"Lizzie!" I shout her name and we both run down the stairs and into the living room. Lizzie trips over my iPhone charger and hits the floor face first. Everyone was in hysterics.

"Oh wow," I said after I wiped away my tear and went to see if she's Okaii. She was. Just crying from laughter.

We went to the park where I first sang to the boys. Tris and I took the swings while the rest bounced on the built in trampoline.

"Hey Maggie," Tris said.

"Sup?" I say and turn to face him.

"Do you think she likes me?" He asked looking at his feet then at Lizzie. I knew it! Knew it knew it knew it!

"I don't know, we haven't really spoken much, but she does look at you a lot..." I said and saw a smile appear on his face.

I wanted to tell Lizzie what Tris asked me, but I knew I had to wait til we were at mine and alone. We ended up getting some KFC which made me feel fat, but I ate it anyway.

"Well, we better go and practise,"
James said as he gave me a friendly hug. I loved his hugs. And his smile. He was a perfect boy best friend.

"Enjoy!" I said and gave the rest of the boys a hug too. Tris winked at me before they left. Shall I tell her?

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Hi!
I know it's a slow start, but I hope you are enjoying it!
Is Connor Maggie's admirer too?
Will Maggie tell Lizzie what Tris told her?

The songs lyrics Maggie and Brad make up are the lyrics from my songs I've written. So don't go off stealing it :)

Let me know what you think!
