Macy slammed her locker shut. She was in a horrible mood and it was only second period. She had already dropped a bowling ball on Kevin's foot, hit Nick with a tennis racket, and ran right into Joe. She was such a mess around the Lucas brothers, although she was getting better. She didn't faint anymore so that had to be a good sign. But she hated hurting them so much! She wonders why they hadn't just put a restraining order on her already. *Hmm…maybe I should do it for them?* she thought. She sighed and walked to her second period class that she shared with Nick. Ehh great. Now she could injure him again somehow; since they were partners for biology.
She dragged her feet, trying to get there as late as she could even though she hated the thought of ever being late for anything. She reached the classroom and saw Nick wasn't there. Good maybe he was still at the nurse. *Eh now I feel bad!* she thought. She went and sat at the marble slab that was called her seat. She sat there, a frown on her face and shoulders slouched over. She really didn't like herself right now. Why did those boys make her so clumsy? That's when Nick came in with an ice bag on his arm and a note in the other hand. "Why Nicholas, you're late!" said the teacher Mrs. Smith "Yeah I know. I was at the nurse's office getting some ice. Here I have a note" he said handing her the note. The teacher glanced at Macy, knowing it was her fault. This made Macy feel ten times worse cus now she saw that he was really hurt and even the teacher's knew she was a hazard to the Lucas brothers' health.
Macy watched Nick walk down the aisle to their seat and sit down. She let her head fall down into her arms. She wasn't even paying attention to what the teacher said. She was trying hard not to concentrate on the injured boy sitting next to her; the boy that she had injured. That's when she felt a slight shove on her shoulder. "Hey Macy lets get star…Macy have you been crying?!" Nick asked her. She put her fingers to her cheeks. She hadn't realized she'd been crying this whole time. She wipes away the tears and lets out a horse "n-no". Nick just stares at her, not believing. She was lying when the proof was running down her cheeks. "Macy why are you crying?" he asks. She sniffles "I'm n-n-not crying and if I were, it would b-be because im such a klutz and im always hurting you or one of your brothers. I don't even know why you guys even talk to me!" a few more tears rolled down her cheek.
Nick's heart doesn't break easily but right now it was shattered. He couldn't believe what he just heard. "Macy, we talk to you because we like you and you're our friend. You do hurt us, but we know it's not on purpose." He tells her. "Really? You like me as your friend?" she says sniveling. "Yes really." he says and gives her one of his rare trademark smiles. Her eyes light up and he thinks *my god she's beautiful.* That's when Nick Lucas realizes he might just be getting feelings for Macy Misa.
Then the bell rings. They hadn't done their assignment but oh well. "Another day." they both thought. Nick followed Macy out of the classroom. She was slightly more bouncy but still a lil sad. "Nick you say you're my friend, but how do you know they feel the same?" she whispered. He didn't know, but he didn't want to tell her that and make her upset all over again. He didn't think he could take seeing her cry one more time. "Just trust me, Macy, they do." he tells her. "Okay I believe you." she says, looking at him with those big brown innocent eyes that were so amazing that the word amazing did not describe them accurately enough he thought. He walked with her to her locker thinking that it might be good that she didn't have a locker close to his because he was thinking about putting her picture up in his.
Macy stared at Nick. He seemed to be off in lala land, but she was glad that he wasn't mad at her and hopefully neither were his brothers. That's when she saw Joe come up and jump on Nick "Hey Nick! Hey Macy!" he shouted. That got Nick out of his own world "Man get off me! You're so weird" Nick said pushing Joe off him. Joe just chuckles. Nick sighs "Well I gotta go, bye. Macy remember what I said" he stands there for a second and gives her a hug and runs off.
Joe's jaw dropped. Did Nick really just hug Macy? By the look on her face, she was a little shocked too, and wait! Were her eyes puffy? Had she been crying? "Macy are you okay? Your eyes are a little red. He asks her worriedly "oh yeah Joe. I'm fine." She says with a small smile. He didn't believe her for one minute. "You're not fine, and you obviously told Nick, but you won't tell me, your friend." He said making a pouty face. He knew she told Nick, and it kind of hurt him that she would tell Nick and not him. It also made him kinda jealous. *Woah! Wait, where did that jealousy come from?* he thought to himself.
Macy stared at Joe's puppy dog face and looked away. "It's just that I was upset…cus I always hurt you guys, and I felt so bad, and you all still talk to me, and." She couldn't go on for threat of crying again. Joe just looked at her. "It's okay, Macy. You've been getting better. I mean, you don't faint anymore, and I'm sure the hurting us part will stop soon, too. And we want to be your friend because you're an amazing person." Joe tells her and hugs her. *Wow!* she thought. Two hugs from two different Lucas brothers in one day. The warning bell rang. "Oh crap! We are gonna be late, but don't worry Macy. Oh, lets do something later. Maybe ice cream? My treat?" he says and winks at her. "O-okay." She replies, then he runs off.
Macy also headed off to her art class, which she happened to share with the oldest Lucas brother, Kevin. She got to art class, and again, there was no Lucas brother. But that was okay. She was on a roll today with the Lucas brothers. They really liked her, and hey, if Kevin didn't, then two out of three ain't bad. She sat down at one of the old wooden tables with a million pencil and paint marks on it. It was the second to last seat. In art class, you could sit wherever you wanted, no seating chart. Kevin came running in, just making it before the final bell rang. "Yes! Am I good or what?" he said out loud to himself. He looks around the room, and sees the empty seat next to Macy, smiles and heads toward the seat. Macy became extremely nervous when he sat down. She wasn't sure if he was upset or not about this morning.
"Hey, Macy! What's up?" he says glancing at her, and then does a double take. "Macy Misa! Have you been crying!?" he exclaims. She sighs. Is it just her, or does every Lucas brother have to ask that question? She looks at him and smiles a tiny bit. "Yeah, I was Kevin. It's been a bad day." She then looks back at the paper that had been on the desk when she got there. "Aw. Does somebody need a hug? And why are you so upset? Don't tell me. Is it because of this morning, cus that's nothing. You're my friend, and a bowling ball to the foot isn't gonna change that." He says smiling, and holding his arms open for him to hug her. She leans over and hugs him. "Oh god!" he thought, "She smells so good, and she's so cute and adorable. I never want to let her go."
"You're the best, Kevin." she tells him. "Of course I am! How do you think I got to be the oldest?" he says with a cheesy grin that makes her laugh. "So, Macy, you wanna go see a movie tomorrow night?" he asked her. "Oh, uh, sure. That'd be fun." she squeaks out. She pulls away from him. "Oh wow! I'm doing stuff with two of the Lucas brothers, and I got hugs from all three!" She smiled at that thought and started to draw. What? She wasn't sure yet. But from the center of her eye, it looked like Kevin was drawing the two of them, standing in front of some lockers.
