So here it is. The second chapter. On christmas. Sooooooooo...

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year everyone!!!!!!!

The next day I went downstairs to eat breakfast with the others. Sandy, Tom and Frankie had gone somewhere so it just left with me and the guys.

'What do you guys do for fun on a Sunday?' I asked no one in particular.

'Stella usually comes over to give us our uniform for tomorrow,' Kevin said.

'Er…who's Stella?' I asked really confused.

'She is our awesome fashionista friend,' Joe said.

'I knew you didn't dress awesomely by yourself,' I teased.

'Is awesomely even a word?'

'Well Joe, it is in my world.' I smiled at him and carried on eating my breakfast. Then the door bell rang. 'I guessing that would be Stella' I got nervous and hid my face behind my hair and looked down. I heard Stella walk in.

'You must be Toni.' She said to me. I looked up at her she was a pretty blond with brown eyes.

'Yeah…I am.'

'Hi Stella,' Joe said from behind her.

'Oh hi Joe,' she said turning around.

'How's it going?' he replied, attempting to lean on the counter but totally missed and fell on the floor. I leaned near Nick and whispered,

'He's got a crush on her. Doesn't he?'

'Totally,' he replied. I smiled evilly.

'Time to work my match maker magic,'

'So...Joe...' I said to Joe who was strumming his guitar, 'How's it hanging?'

'Nothing.'

'Stella is really pretty isn't she?'

'Yeah...' He said, dreamily.

'I like her hair.'

'It's really beautiful and soft and blonde. And her eyes are like...beautiful and...'

'If you say "soft and blonde" you've officially lost it.' he smiled guiltily, 'You really like her don't you.'

'Maybe...'

'Then why don't you ask her out...duh' he shrugged his shoulders.

'I guess I don't wanna wreck our friendship if things end badly. We've been friends since we were about this high,' he raised his had about two feet from the ground, 'and she's like my best friend.'

'I've gotta plan.'

'Huh?'

'Don't worry your pretty little head,' I said, patting his head, 'I've got it all figured out.'

'NICK!' I shouted down the pole, 'GET UP HERE. I NEED YOUR HELP.' He came up the stairs by the time I'd turned around, 'I need you to call Stella.' he sat down on my bed and smiled.

'Tell he ro come over,' I mouthed.

'Could you come over, Toni really wants to get to know you.'

'Hey!' I exclaimed and pushed him off my bed.

'Ow..' he got up. Then said into the phone, 'See you in ten...bye Stella.' He then turned to me and said, 'What was that for?' I shrugged my shoulders and stuck my tongue out at him.

'Step one completed!' I sang.

'Er Toni,'

'Yeah,'

What's step two?' he asked confused.

'Well, Stella and I are gonna talk about fashion and stuff, then move onto the the subject of boys...' I answered.

'Then onto the subject of Joe.'

'Exactly,' I patted him on the back, 'How long has Joe liked Stella?'

'A long, long time. Well I'm gonna send Stella up when she comes. Have fun.' And he slid down the pole.

'You have great style Toni,' Stella said to me.

'Thanks...so you've been friends with Joe for how long?'

'Since we was about this high.' She placed her hand about two feet off the ground. (Deja Vu)

'Must be great having a friend like Joe,'

'Yeah it is. What do you like about them?'

'Er... Kevin's green eyes, Nick's boyish charm,' she nodded, 'and...oh and Joe's ability to make everything a joke.'

'Yeah...Joe...' she said dreamily. I smacked myself on the forehead and said,

'You and Joe are idiots! You obviously really lik each other.'

'Yeah but if it ends badly it could wreck our friendship!"

'What's life without risks?' I asked her.

'Joe come on, what's life without risks?' (Deja Vu)

'You're right,'

'Ask her on a date. I'm sure it will be fine.'

'Thanks squirt,' he hugged me and went to call Stella.

Nick's POV

'Mission accomplished,' Toni said.

'Hey, how come he listens to you, but not me and Kevin.'

'It's a girl thing,'

'Well done chump. So do you wanna watch a movie?'

'Sure, what do you have in mind?'

'Something scary like... The Final Destination.'

'Yeah!' During the movie we kept laughing at the fake bloody parts. It was fun.

I couldn't fall asleep so went downstairs and saw the TV had been left on. I went and sat infront of it, then Toni walked in.

'What are you doing up so late?' i asked.

'I could ask you the same thing.'

'Right,' she came over and sat next to me.

'You first.'

'I couldn't sleep,' I admitted, 'What about you?'

'I'm scared about school tomorrow.' I saw tears building up in her eyes.

'Don't cry,' I put my arm around her, 'It'll be alright. Trust me.' We watched a couple cartoons suntill she fell asleep, then I turned off the TV and fell asleep with her in my arms.
