*~CHAPTER 22~*

“TIME FOR CHRISTMAS DINNER!” The voice of Walker Hanson broke up the teaching lesson Tay was giving Star on how to shoot. “Ha!! we won!!” Shouted Zac on the top of his lungs, the score had been 19-20.

“That’s not fair, dad interrupted my concentration!” Isaac yelled, sort of turning red in the face. “Whatever Ike,” Zac and Christine resumed celebrating their victory, bragging as they went upstairs.

“About time you lost Ike,” Taylor laughed, “let’s go eat” Sitting at the large dining room table, the younger kids went into the living room to the ‘kids’ table. Making sure he got to sit next to Christine, Zac saved a seat that was unoccupied and motioned her over through the noise.

“Okay, its time to say grace” Walker Hanson said. After they said ‘Amen,’ everyone started eating and it became quite noisy.

“Could you pass me the mashed potatoes?” Ike asked, “Thanks Tay”

Taylor eyed the two lovebirds that were talking like crazy on the opposite side of the table. “They like each other” he remarked to Star next to him. “Hmm?” she replied, before looking at his pointing finger, “Yeah, they’ve always liked each other, you know that”

He laughed, “but now I sense sexual tension between them” Star swatted his arm, “Stop you pervert, they’re 12!!” “Hey, it can happen” he replied with a smirk.

Dinner went by as usual, only with more people, a lot more. The teenagers retreated back into the guys’ room while the adults cleared the table. “Ohmigod, have you ever cleaned your room before?” Star exclaimed, observing the so called room that looked like a tornado had hit it, only to be followed by an earthquake.

“Shut up, your room isn’t exactly clean,” Taylor replied shoving his pile of clothes to a corner, “but I didn’t spend much time looking at it....” he trailed off, laughing. “Ugh, you pervert....I think i’ll change my mind about Jake”

Taylor raised his eyebrows, “hey, I can reconsider one of the fans I met earlier too” “Both of you, shut up!” Isaac said, “and I thought you guys would be nice to each other from now on” “You were wrong, obviously” Zac said looking at the so called ‘couple’

“So what are we going to do on New Year’s?” Christine questioned, seeing the group didn’t have much of a topic anyway. “I was thinking of a party” Isaac shrugged, “Maybe i’ll find some hot girl!” Star rolled her eyes, “you guys are all the same!”

“Hey, I didn’t do anything!” Zac exclaimed.

“But a party does sound pretty cool,” Star said, looking at a cd.

“Who is having one?” Taylor questioned. “Ross is, I think it’s a tradition for him” Star replied. “Okay, then it’s settled, we’ll go to Ross’s party” Christine said.
