Chapter 1

I've just moved to this neighborhood and so far I've had at least 50 people knock on my door and ask was this the Jonas Brothers residence. NO!!!!!! No its not, because I, Cassandra Floch live here not Joe, Kevin or that other one who's name always escapes me. Ding Dong! Great! That was my doorbell. I walked sluggishly to door and opened. I saw the faces of three smiling girls.

"Hi, I'm Casey. Do the Jonas Brothers live here?" She asked screaming.

"Ummm……no they moved to Antarctica" I sighed. The girl's smile dropped into a frown.

"Thank you, I'm sorry for disturbing you" her friend groaned. I closed my door on their faces, and ran to my window. They stomped off to their car, and drove off. I grabbed my iPod, and walked out the door. I started jogging around my new neighborhood. That was until a kid on a bike ran into me.

"Ow" I moaned holding my head.

"I am so sorry, are you ok?" he asked.

"No, it wasn't like I was using my legs for anything important" I sighed, dusting the dirt of my jeans. I took a closer look at his face, just what I needed the younger Jonas Brother, the cause of all my doorbell dilemmas.

"Right, I'm sorry I probably should've been paying attention to where I was going" he apologized.

"You're that guy from the Jonas Brothers. Could you perhaps put up a sign on your house that says 'Jonas Brothers live here'?" I asked. He looked at me confused.

"It's Nick, and I'm guessing your house gets bombarded with screaming girls" Nick answered.

"Your guess would be right, look I have to go, just tell your groupies to stay away from my house" I hissed. I started to jog back to my house. Nick rode up beside me.

"Wait, what's your name?" Nick asked.

"Why? How do I know you're not a psycho stalker?" I asked.

"Usually I'm the one being stalked" Nick replied.

"Way to be humble Jonas" I moaned annoyed with his attitude. He was just what I expected a stuck up rock star who probably flirted with everything that walked. I began to run faster. Nick peddled faster.

"I wasn't trying to be rude, I didn't mean it that way" Nick argued.

"I don't care how you meant it, why don't you finish your bike ride, and leave me alone" I groaned, and sprinted home. Nick was annoying, stuck up, and rude. Nice to know I live in a great neighborhood. I walked upstairs to my room, and plopped down on my bed.

"Cass, it's time for dinner" My mom yelled. But I just sat down. Ugh! I walked slowly downstairs and into the living room. I saw Nick and his family sitting at our table with smiled on their faces.

"Mom, why didn't you tell me we had company?" I asked in a whisper tone.

"Honey I reminded you at least ten times today, I even wrote it on the fridge" She gritted through her teeth, while remaining the fake smile.

"Hi, I'm Denise, and these are my sons Joe, Kevin, Nick, and Frankie, and this is my husband Paul" she greeted.

"I'm glad you could join us for dinner, this is my daughter Cassandra" my mom smiled.

"Cassandra so that's your name" I heard Nick whisper. Thanks mom, now some stalker rock star knows my name.

"Hi I'm Joe" a boy with straight hair and a smile on his face greeted. He was wearing a black t-shirt and skinny jeans.

"I'm Kevin" another boy replied. He had curly hair, and intense sideburns.

"They call me Nick J" Nick greeted and held out his hand. I reluctantly shook his hand.

"I'm Frankie" I heard a cute voice chime. I looked down and saw a boy with straight hair wearing a New York Yankees shirt. He was so adorable!

"Hi cutie, I'm Cassandra" I smiled and held out my hand.

"Nice to meet you" Frankie replied shaking my hand.

"Honey why don't you sit next to Nick" My mom suggested. OH NO! My mom was going to do that "my daughter needs a boyfriend thing". My mom has this annoying habit of trying to get me to go out with these weird boys all because my first boyfriend was a jerk, but that's a different story. I gave a fake smile and slowly walked over to Nick. I pulled out my chair and sat down.
"Don't forget to say grace" Nick and I said at the same time. Nick looked at me and smiled. I stuck my tongue out at him, and bowed my head while Mr. Jonas said grace.

"Cass, could you pass the salt" My mom asked. I picked up the salt and passed to my mom.

"Thanks" she replied.

"So what do you guys have planned for this summer?" My mom asked. Way to be nosy mom.

"Well this is our first summer not being on tour so I think we're just going to hang out, and have fun" Joe explained.

"Cool, so would you mind bringing Cassandra along because she's going to be home all summer" she smiled.

"Mom please, could you stop making me seem like a pathetic loser?" I moaned.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to embarrass you honey" she apologized.

"We don't mind, it'll give us time to get to know each other over the summer" Joe smiled.

"Yeah, I mean Cassandra is the first non-fan girl we'd be hanging out with since we got off tour, I think it would be cool" Kevin agreed. I never said I wasn't a fan. I liked their music. I just wasn't obsessed like all of the girls that knocked on my door.

"Great then its settled" my mom cheered. Could things get any worse?

"I know Nicholas wouldn't mind having a girlfriend for the summer" Mrs. Jonas added. Yup they could get worse. Nick started to choke on his food, and I spit out my water.

"Mom, relax please" Nick demanded. Mrs. Jonas and my mom started to laugh.

"You know what, suddenly I'm not hungry anymore, excuse me" I replied throwing my napkin down on the table and walked upstairs. Who cares if my mom yells at me later? I had to get out of there so whatever trouble I get in later, it's totally worth it. I slammed my door, and walked over to my laptop and signed on to AIM. Great no one's online. I signed back off. Knock! Knock!

"Mom if it's you, please can I talk to you later" I sighed.

"Well what if it's Nick?" Nick asked while opening my door.

"What do you want Nicholas?" I asked.

"I just came to see if you were alright" Nick replied. I didn't need him, I was fine.

"I'm ok, thank you but could you get out of my room" I snapped.

"Why are you so rude?" Nick asked.

"I'm not rude to everyone just you now get out of my room" I yelled.

"Look you don't have to like me, but you don't have to be so rude, here's my number text me tomorrow and let me know if you're hanging out with us or not" Nick replied and handed me a paper with his number.

"What are these other two numbers for?" I asked.

"Those are Joe's and Kevin's cell phones numbers" Nick explained. He turned around and began to walk towards my door.

"Nick" I smiled.

"Yes" he replied.

"Thanks for putting up with me today" I apologized.

"Don't worry about it, I guess it was my fault for almost killing you with my bike" he smiled.

"Goodnight" I sighed.

"Goodnight" he replied and walked out of my room and shut the door. I owed him some act of kindness for being a total jerk today. I'm still not sure if I want to be friends, I guess I will just have to wait and find out.
