MATTY SAYS "Trav is a rockstar. He never fails to make fun out of a situation. We have the best time together, although everyone else thinks we're crazy. When we're together, I can't help but smile and have a good time. I know Marcus is like, his other half, but if he ever need a girl's point of view on something, I hope he thinks of me as someone he can talk to."

ZENZI SAYS "Very few things catch my interest, but Travis and his stunts... well, they're pretty impressive. I heard of a few, but didn't believe it so I decided to go and check it out myself.

Yes, I was amazed.
And yes, I went to talk to him about it.

One thing lead to another and we ended up swapping numbers. Not as love interests or anything, but definitely to talk some more. We phoned, we texted, we IMed, we also talked at school. The kid is amazing. He's one of the few that can make me genuinely happy, make me laugh, and I can have fun with him.

And god, he is insane when he's wasted. But still, it's really amusing to watch.

Recently though, we've gotten closer after the Oreo incident with Bella, Travis, and Marcus. Since I'm friends with Bella and Travis, I'm staying neutral, but I've been his emotional support during this time. He really loved liked her and when she and Marcus hooked up during the party, it really hurt him. I know that Bella was probably hurt too, but I've yet to hear her side of the story.

Anyway, Travis knows I'm there for him. We're not as close as some of his other friends, but we're still pretty tight. He's a cool kid.

• attached at the hip - how long must you wait for it?
  
• partners in crime - and a trouble that can't be named
  
• inner clique - shoot an apple off my head
  
• best friends - for me, they spun a web for me
  
• drinking/party buddies - oh, i beg, i'm begging please

MARCUS SAYS "Travis Price is my other half, seriously. He's the wreck to my crew since I moved here from Atlanta. He's the coolest kid in this boring town and that's really not saying a lot, but he'd probably be the coolest kid (besides me) in a lot cooler city also. He was the first person to befriend me when I moved and the first to laugh his ass off when I told him I failed sophmore year. Yeah, he got to be the cool Junior while I sat back and did the same classes again

This year has been rough for us. I mean, for me. No, for him because of me. Better. You see, Trav is was in love with Bella some girl and I might have slept with her. On his birthday. At the surprise party. That me and her were throwing for him. See, it just kept getting worse. I know, I'm a horrible person/friend. In my defense, I was drunk. Wasted, gone. Whatever you want to call it... that's what I was. I couldn't walk straight let alone help who I hooked up with! The motto of the party was what happens at the Oreo stays at the Oreo. But, I guess Trav didn't really know that since he decided to hate me for half of a year.

It took from January to now just to get him to talk to me again. Seriously, the wreck crew was wrecked. No more dancing, no more get togethers, no more parties (though I think we both are officially done with parties). It sucked. I actually went to some of my dad's conventions with him. Yeah, you can't believe it because I'm not a convention-er, but I went. However, we rekindled our friendship over a note and have decided to put the past in the past and never talk about Bella that girl again.

Except, we did talk about her when I saw her out with Smack and called Travis. Bad idea. The kid was majorly on something, saw a unicorn, fell of his roof and decided we should go egg her house. And, I listened. Needless to say, with the noise we were making, we got caught. By Bella herself and she was pissed. But it was a funny night. Trav was rolling around like aliens were about to take over and she threw a shoe at me! A shoe! At my head. So, right now the wreck crew is down to just Trav and me. But that's okay. That's how it started, too.
