Today's the day. Well one of them anyway. I reckon it's going to be very eventful. The obvious reason; the school dance. But also because my dad managed to pull some strings and get me two tickets to Stevie Wonder.
Stevie Wonder is like Nicks all time hero. He admires him so much, and he loves him ten times more than stupid old Radiohead.
So the plan is that I'm going to show up at his house ten minutes before he leaves to pick up the wicked witch of the west, looking so fab he won't be able to resist me, and hopefully he'll drop out of his plans, ditch the whore and come to the concert with me instead.
I'm certain he will. I mean obviously I mean more to him than her.
Now the plans set, I need to pick a proper sexy outfit. After a lot of thinking, I decided to wear a small fitted t-shirt splattered with paint, blue skinny jeans, a black leather jacket, and red high tops. I curled my hair Taylor Swift style, applied a fair amount of make-up, eye pencil, mascara and lip-gloss. In the end I did look pretty good, if I do say so myself.
I better hurry up now before I miss the bus. Just one more week till my new and first car arrives, and then I can finally drive. Anticipating right?
I arrived exactly on time at ten to eleven. I quickly ran up the driveway and knocked a dozen times on the stain glassed door.
Nick answered as per usual, looking gorgeous in a scruffy way. He looked slightly surprised to see me.
"Hey Miley." He smiled pleasantly, hugging me. He smelt so good, and now his scent would rub off on my clothes. I love it when that happens. "You look really pretty." He said sweetly.
"Thanks Nick." I blushed even though I'd been expecting it.
"So you're going to hang out with Joe today?" He asked, ignoring his ringing phone with Penny flashing on and off.
It made me feel good.
"Well actually, my dad got me two tickets to Stevie Wonder, and I was going to go with Joe, but then I remembered how much you love him, so do you want to come with me?" I blabbered out quickly.
"Wow, Stevie Wonder? When is it?" He asked.
"Today." I said as casually as I could manage. "Like right now."
"Today?" He faltered. "I can't."
"How come?" I tried to speak cheerfully, but inside my hopes was sinking.
"I'm going to see Radiohead with Penny today, remember?" He reminded me.
Ugh.
"Oh yeah, I remember." I pretended it had just clicked in my mind. "Well it's not like your standing her up, it's not like a date or anything." Was I trying to convince myself that?
"Hmm." He hesitated again, as though he was considering what it was for the first time. Funny thing is, he never confirmed that it wasn't a date, especially to him. Was this really happening to me?
He looked down, and didn't look back up, so I knew I had to say something.
"I'm sure she'd understand you know." I tried to still act happy but it was getting harder and harder by the second.
"I know, but it would be sly, I would be standing her up, and I can't do that, sorry." He managed a half smile. "Have fun with Joe then." Was the last thing he said before he left.
Wait a minute, did he just admit it was a date?
Well.
"How did it go?" Joe appeared in front of me out of nowhere.
"Let's just say from now on I'm sticking to the plan." My voice cracked, making it evident what happened, but nevertheless I fought back the tears, refusing to cry in front of Joe.
"I'm sorry." He spoke sympathetically, opening up his large arms and offering a hug.
"I can't believe he chose her over me." I whined in his ear, engulfed in his arms.
"Yeah well he's going to regret it, we're going to make him twice as jealous as before." He replied mischievously, his eyes twinkling with evil schemes to make his brother's life a living hell.
And it sure did comfort me that soon he was going to be as miserable as I was at the moment.

My phone started vibrating furiously in my pocket as soon as I re-entered my house. I knew it would be Nick, calling about something or the other. But I'm not in the mood to talk to him at the moment. I just had a great time with Joe. First we went to the concert Nick wouldn't come with me, taking lots of goofy pictures to make Nick jealous, and then we spent the next three hours messing about at his house watching stupid but classic shows like Andy Pandy, Tweenies and Teletubbies.
And now Nick has his fun with Penny he's coming back to me?
"Hello?" I answered the phone like I didn't know who it was even though we both knew I did know. I was then he realized we weren't exactly on good terms.
"Hey Miley, it's me, Nick." He spoke uncertainly, most probably trying to figure what he did wrong, like it wasn't obvious."
"Oh hey Nick." I replied coolly, acting surprised to be hearing from him.
"So I saw the pictures." He paused. "On facebook. Looks like you and Joe had a great time at the concert." He said slowly, as if he was choosing his words carefully.
"Yeah, it was really fun." He gushed. "How was yours?"
He took another long pause, and for what seemed like a lifetime, there was silence.
"It sucked." He finally let out, accompanied with a shaky laugh. "I kind of really regret not going with you know, I mean it would've been really fun with you, because everything's really funny with you." He said sweetly.
"Aww thanks." I felt the heat in my cheeks rising, a dark blush developing.
There was another silence.
"You know I love you right?" He suddenly said, almost reassuringly.
Subconsciously a smile appeared on my face. "Yeah." I half whispered. "And I love you too."
"Good." I heard him say.
"We're still on for the dance tonight, right?" He asked.
" I'm sorry, but I don't think I can." I said truthfully. "You see my mum is at work at like all night and she won't let me go because she doesn't trust me enough and so she won't know what time gets home. "
"Well you can stay the night at mine then, you know since your mum trusts me." I could just picture him smirking obnoxiously as he said that.
"Would your mum let me?" I asked.
"Of course she would, I'll go ask her, and you ask yours." I agreed, put the phone on hold, and quickly ran downstairs to ask my mother dear.
"She said yes." We both said simultaneously, then burst out laughing.
After the laughter died down there was another silence, but not awkward, it was the kind of silence where Nick was thinking.
Mmm.
"Miley." Was all he said.
"Nick." I replied.
"You know today." He said slowly.
"Yeah." I mumbled, wishing I'd forgotten all about today.
"I'm really sorry I wouldn't come with you." There was earnestness in his voice, and I knew he was being completely honest.
"I didn't mind." I lied.
He ignored my comment. "And I don't want you to think I chose Penny over you, because that's not the case, your much more important to me."
"I know." Another lie.
"Well I just wanted to make sure you knew." He replied.
"Well I do." God, I'm really wondering when my nose is going to start growing like a foot long.
"Okay."
"Okay."
"Miley?" He said.
"Nick." I pretended like I was getting tired of this game.
"I'm bored." He simply said.
"I don't care." I said in a bored tone.
"Pretend you do then you goose." He laughed at me. Laughed at me. Can you believe it?
"Oh Nick, you poor little dope!" I said in the least sympathetic tone I could muster.
"Love you." He said cheekily.
"I know." Finally I got the chance to be obnoxious, woo.
"So what time do you want me to pick you up?" He asked out of the blue.
"Seven." I replied, heaving myself off my comfortable bed so I could go pick my clothes.
"Okay, I can't wait you know, I've really missed you this week."
How sweet could this boy get?
As you can tell I was getting beyond lazy by the end. It's not very good all together because I rushed it and I just can't be bothered. And because I'm out of practise, if you know what I mean, so I'm writing pretty craply. I'm on holiday at the moment, I have a huge headache because I get travel sick, and right now we're on a ten hour car drive from Canada back to New York where I catch my plane home. I would tell you what I did on holiday these past two weeks but no, to tired, next chapter. Sorry for the lateness of updates, and thanks for all the reviews. Love you all very much. Reviews are appreciated. Say 25 reviews for next chapter?
