Chapter 2 – Passing Notes
"Hello Mr. Jonas! I'm Mr. Linkman. I'm so happy you can join us!" Mr. Linkman said ecstatically.
Nick forced a smile, even though Mr. Linkman disturbed him.
"Everyone? Let's give Nick Jonas a very warm welcome!" Mr. Linkman, brownnoser, said.
"Hi Nick!" the girls drawled and boys remarked sarcastically.
Nick smiled at the class and sat in the seat next to Miley.
"Is he always this scary?" Nick asked. He looked petrified.
"Only for you, Joe, and Jake Ryan." Miley said. She didn't care about Jake anymore. She was in love with Nick now.
"Jake Ryan?" Nick pressed. Miley rolled her eyes and didn't answer.
They faced the teacher. "Ms. Stewart, Mr. Jonas? Care to tell us your conversation?" Mr. Linkman asked.
Nick and Miley sat quietly and shook their heads. Ashley passed Nick a note.
Ashley wrote, "Why do you hang out with dorky Miley Stewart when you can hang out with popular me? She's a total geek. She went out with one guy and that totally went down in flames."
Nick wrote, "I like Miley's dorkiness. She's a great girl. I love her. Tell me about that guy. Who is he? What happened?"
Ashley wrote, "His name is Jake Ryan. Yes, the actor. He was crazy about Miley and Miley was crazy about him, but he went away to Romania for six months. When he came back, he did everything he could to get back with Miley. They got back together for a little while, but then Miley broke up with him. She called him 'the most arrogant, obnoxious, conceited guy she ever met'."
Nick wrote, "Whoa. I didn't know that. Well that's in the past."
Ashley wrote, "Whatever. Will you go out with me?"
Nick crumpled up the paper and threw it in the garbage. That was a no.
