I DO NOT OWN JONAS.
The dismissal bell rang the following afternoon, and everyone was happy to be leaving school. Nick had tried to ignore the questioning looks he got from just about every one of his teachers, they all seemed to be wondering what was wrong with him, since he never raised his hand to answer a question once, or even look up from his desk. He wasn't the one with the problem, so what could he say to them? Nothing.
When he got to his locker to take out books, a note fell out. He smiled a bit, knowing who it was from. He read it to himself.
Nicholas,
Here's a question for you. How do feel about a Monday date? I've never had one, but I know that it will be fun with you. Where do you want to go? Just turn around and tell me, if you accept.
Sincerely,
Precious
Just like she said, Precious was behind Nick when he turned around. Her hair was curled, and she was playing with it a little, nervous. He thought she looked beautiful, but all he could say was: "Sincerely?" "Well, we're not officially dating." She explained. He laughed. "Oh, I get it." She smiled at him, he smiled back, and they started walking together, to go find his brothers.
After he took about three steps, Nick stopped and ran back to his locker. Precious waited where she was, and he came back quickly. Forgot your books? She asked. "Maybe." He joked. "Nobody noticed right?" He looked serious when he said that, but Precious had to laugh. "People might've seen that your locker was wide open but the only one who knew about the books part would be me."
Nick scoffed at himself. You're not supposed to look like an idiot in front of the one you like." Precious nodded, smiling. "Yeah, but that usually winds up happening anyway." As she said this, Precious tripped over her own feet. Nick made sure she didn't fall, holding her up. When she had her footing back, he said: "Now we're even." They both laughed and continued on their way.
Kevin was on his way to the atrium, his daily walk extremely delayed because of the craziness of the day. Getting back into routine was difficult to do. Seeing Macy there waiting for him came as surprise, and she looked like she knew what he was thinking when he walked in.
"Admitting this is gonna be embarrassing, but I started coming her more often after I find out that's what you do." That was the first thing out of her mouth. "How is that embarrassing?" He replied. "That's a compliment. You re welcome, then." She said as he sat down next to her, looking like he had a question to ask.
"Yes?" She asked after awhile, giving him a smile. "So, what was up with the whole 'dress and shoes' thing by the way? I have to know." "It's not obvious?" She answered, thinking it was. Kevin shook his head. "I still haven't figured it out."
"It's a fan outfit." Macy said, having to think of the right way to explain. She elaborated with: "You know. High heels, red dress..." "Yeah, okay." He could see why that made sense. "But is that really the only reason?" "No." She told him. "It was also to look pretty, sort of like I was going on a date." That sentence sounded more like a question to Kevin. In case he was wrong, he whispered his next question, sort of wishing he'd kept it in his head. "Did you just ask me out?"
Macy actually had to think about that one. What? No. I mean, I wasn't trying to but it's not like—" "Would you want to?" He asked, half excited and half scared out of his mind about her answer. He didn't even know what to consider Macy anymore. He hoped he had some clue on that when she replied, but, like always, she took her time in answering.
"Wait a second!" She yelled so out of nowhere, Kevin nearly had a heart attack. "What?!" He cleared his throat, remembering that he should be nice, especially if he wanted a date, which he hadn't figured out if he did or not. "I mean... okay." She laughed to herself, thinking about what she was going to say next.
"Isn't it your turn?" He looked just as confused as she did. "My turn to what?" Macy shrugged. "Well, I was just thinking: I told you my secret," She blushed before continuing, "then you gave me that... speech by the recording studio, and then I sang to you... so isn't it your turn?"
Kevin just kept giving her the same confused look. "Why do we have to do that, take turns in... life? Do we have to be perfectly even in everything?" Macy really didn't know. She thought that her random excuse was just a way of getting out of the conversation they were having, sort of like what happened when she had to tell her secret and tried to go to sleep to avoid that.
"Never mind." She told him, another great way of avoiding awkward conversations. He hated hearing those words, especially since in this case, it meant Macy wasn't going to even accidentally bring up the topic of possibly dating again, even if he hadn't made up his mind about that yet.
He couldn't just sit there in silence, leaving 'never mind' to be the last words in their conversation. He looked up at Macy, letting her know that, and she seemed sort of scared of whatever it was he was about to say...
Joe and Stella were walking the halls trying to find their friends. They thought about doing so hand-in-hand, but even if the everyone on Earth knew the obvious fact that they were a couple, made no difference. It was just too weird, and they were both tired of getting those 'I knew it' stares from classmates.
Even so, Stella had to ask what was on her mind. "Hey, Joe?" "Yeah?" He turned to her, even though they were right next to each other. "Are we going on a date any time soon?" He smiled. "Sure, but where?" Stella shrugged in reply. "We'll figure it out, I was just wondering."
Soon, they were walking past the atrium. "What do you think's going on in there?" Joe asked, seeing Kevin and Macy.
Stella could only figure out that Kevin was talking very fast, too fast for her to read his lips. Macy seemed to have no problem keeping up with what he was saying, except for one point where she stopped him to ask a question, a confused, sort of worried look on her face.
To that he asked another question, bluntly from what Joe and Stella could see, and Macy nodded, with a smile on her face. A smile that they had never seen before. Joe and Stella looked at each other then, confused and amazed.
At this point, Nick and Precious showed up. "Hey, guys." "Hey, Precious." They chorused in reply. "Hey, Nick." Stella added. Nick didn't mind that Joe didn't say anything to him, intently watching Kevin and Macy. Nick's eyes said 'hello' to the two spectators, but his voice said, in a calm but interested tone: "What's on the Atrium Channel today?"
"Atrium Channel." Precious repeated, under laughs. Stella and Joe laughed too. Nick shrugged. "Everyone's always stopping to watch, they must find this place very entertaining." Joe nodded, laughing again, and the four 'went back to the show'.
"Do you think they know we're watching them?" Stella whispered, seeing that Macy and Kevin had stopped talking, quite abruptly. The audience could see Kevin mouth the words 'They're watching us' to Macy, them both sharing a quick laugh afterward.
"Apparently." Precious said, putting an accent on the end of the word. Nick chuckled. Precious could be as quiet as him sometimes, but when she chose to speak, it was usually funny. Or amazingly deep.
Knowing that they were being watched, Macy turned to her four friends and waved, smiling. Kevin did the same. Before Kevin and Macy came outside, there was only one thing the four others could do.
Wave and smile back, truly happy, and dying to know what was going on...
First day of school for me tomorrow, I'll update soon though. What did you think?
