Joe


"Joseph! Dinner's ready!" My mom called from downstairs. I was up in my room doing my homework like the responsible kid I am. Of course, I wasn't, it was Saturday night for crying out loud and I was cramming because if I didn't do my homework, I'd spent another stinking hour with that lousy, Ms. Cook in detention. And I always knew she had a crush on me. Always making ways to put me in detention. I mean, who could I blame? I was pretty hot, all the chicks in school dig me, no one could get enough of THE Joe Jonas. So, I don't blame them, at all.

I just want you to know! That I've been fighting to let you go! My phone rang. Great, who could it be? I didn't the caller ID, I just answered it.

"Hello?"

"Joe, it's me Mia." She sounded like she was crying.

"Mia. What's wrong? Why are you crying?" I asked, obviously worried. Mia is my bestfriend since, since I remembered. And I really liked her more than a friend, but it seems that she didn't like me, like me. So, I started dating other girls. I thought I never had a chance with her

"Joe, could you…come here? I mean…not that I'm demanding you or anything. I just…need my bestfriend now." Yea. She was crying.

"Okay Mia. I'll be there in five." I hung up at once and grabbed my sweatshirt. I had to get there and fast. So, I ran out my door and down the stairs like I was being chased by a horse. Wow, good thing I didn't trip.

"Joseph, dinner's here." My mom called out as she saw me running through the living room.

"Can't mom! I have to go somewhere! Love you!" I shouted back at her and raced to the front door.

"Love you too!" I still heard her answer.

As I got out the door, I bumped into my brother, Nick. I managed to let him fall to the ground.

"Joe!" Nick shouted at me with furious eyes.

"Sorry Nick." I helped him stand up, and I smiled at him. "I need to get to Mia fast." I added.

"Oh you're going to Mia? Can I come?" he jumped.

"Why?" what did he have to do with my bestfriend? Maybe he was crushing on her.

"I wanted to see Meghan." He smiled at me. Meghan was Mia's sister. When they were small kids, they actually "dated" and then got all awkward when our parents started teasing them about their childhood. Nick really liked her anyway.

"Okay. But, uh…you have to wear your seatbelt brother. Cause this is gonna be a bumpy ride." I tried to act smirk at him. What Joe? You are a plain ass. Why did I have to say that? For no reason at all. Ugh, making up excuses for no reason is not my thing.

"Uh, okay? If you say so." He replied, really awkward.

"Let's go!" I started to run to my car, and Nick followed. I rushed to the driver's seat and got in. Nick was settled before I was. Wow, this dude was fast. Maybe he could join a getting in the car race. If there was something like that, which I doubt.

"Okay, let's go." I stomped on the pedal, and rushed to Mia's house which were just few a blocks from my house.

Finally, after the longest trip of my life, which took about 3 minutes, I took my seatbelt off and immediately got down from my car and ran for their front door.

"Wow, you are eager Joe. What's wrong?" I heard Nick ask while he was just getting down from the car.

I knocked on the door and looked back to Nick, "None of your business, fro bro." I answered, in a mean way. I bet Nick were giving me those daggers behind my back.

"Joseph, what a surprise. What brings you here?" It was Mia's mom.

"Hi Mrs. Taylor. Um, Mia wanted to see me, is she here?" I asked politely, but I bet the worry was still obvious in my face.

"Yea, she is. Got check her out in her room."

"Thanks Mrs. Taylor." I replied, smiling at her.

"Joe, how many times do I have to tell you to call me mom. I told you that since you were kids, like 3 years old." She told me placing her hands on her hips and smacked my arm playfully.

"Okay then Mrs. – Mom." I joked.

"Okay then. Off you go." She shooed me.
