Chapter 4: Role Call

"She is driving me freaking crazy!" Nick ranted as he paced in front of his brothers and Stella. They didn't bother asking who 'she' was as they knew exactly that he meant Macy.

"Everything I do she seems to always up one!" He gestures wildly.

"Well what do you expect? Macy's got an in with the jocks and she is head cheerleader you do the math there Nick." Stella says filing her nails not even look up because she is apparently stating an obvious fact.

"Ugh! She can't be superwoman! What is her damn kryptonite?" Nick asks furiously.

"Beats the hell out of me I barely know her." Joe raises his hands in defeat.

"Kevin?" Nick asks.

"She's claustrophobic?" Kevin suggested.

"Yeah because Nick can totally shove her into a closet and scare her away from the elections. Don't you think she'd have something up her sleeves?" Stella stated.

"Come on! She is a girl. Aren't girls vulnerable to something?"

"That is very stereotypical Nick! So when you get your head straight please do call me. I'll be at the mall with Macy." Stella picked up her bag and left.

"Macy cannot be perfect! There has to be some kind of kink that will get her off game." Nick says. The three brothers were thinking intensively.

"What about love?" Frankie suggested. They looked at him confused. "Well mom says love is blind and a girl in love sees the world through rose-tinted spectacles. Maybe that'll throw her off game?" Nick smiled widely and ran up to his brother hugging him to death.

"Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! You are the best Frankie!" Nick cheered.

"Okay! Let go of me already!" Frankie pushed away and fixed his hair.

"But Macy isn't going to fall in love with Nick." Kevin stated the obvious. "They kinda hate each other."

"Well there is a thin line between love and hate." Frankie says.

"NO!" Nick shouted setting it out straight that no way in hell is he and Macy ever going to be together. "I've got a plan." Nick said smirking at his brothers.

"Count me out! No way. I know this is going to end badly." Kevin says throwing his hands in the air then walking off.

"Joe?" Nick asks.

"I'm bored why not."

Macy was taking out her books from her locker the next morning. When she closed her locker she saw the swim team's surfer boy captain, Evan Summers, leaning next to her locker. She looked at him confused as to why he was there leaning beside her locker looking at her with a charming smile.

"You lost Evan?" Macy asked confusingly.

"No." He says simply.

"Then what are you doing here? We only talk when we need to make a deal."

"I'm here to ask for a date." Evan says flashing a smile.

"From me?" Macy asks him even more confused than ever.

"Yes."

"Why?"

"Because I want to get to know you. You intrigue me."

"And you make me want to hurl with that line. Seriously Evan what's up?"

"I'm serious. I want a date."

"Right. And I want back stage tickets to All-American Rejects but we all can't have what we want." Macy turns around and starts walking away. Evan looks around panicky and spots Nick gesturing him for help. Nick just points at her insisting he tries harder.

"What if I can get those tickets?" Evan says.

"What?" Macy says shocked.

"If I can get those tickets. You go on a date with me before the concert."

"Evan. The concert is tomorrow night. There is no way you can get back stage tickets." Macy said being reasonable.

"I wouldn't be so sure."

"I don't know Evan."

"MACY MISA I LIKE YOU SO PLEASE GO ON A DATE WITH ME TO WATCH ALL-AMERICAN REJECTS! DON'T REJECT ME HERE!" He shouts out but Macy cuts him off by putting her hands on top of his mouth and tugs him to her level.

"Okay. I'll go. Only if you get the tickets." She laughs then walks away.

"Tomorrow night! I'm picking you up at 5!" He points out to her and she just laughs at her antics.

"I'll need two back stage tickets to All-American Rejects concert tomorrow night." Evan tells Nick.

"Already done. I'll drop it off after school in front of the pool." Nick says putting his blackberry away.

"You sure you know what you're doing?" Evan leans back against the wall.

"Positive. Now go act all charming and make her fall for you."

"I don't know man. It seems so low."

"How much more do you want?" Nick says leaning against the pillar and Evan smiles at him shadily.

"You see my car needs a new paint job. Some idiot scratched it…badly. So maybe….250." Nick raises an eyebrow at him.

"Deal." Nick extended his hands and Evan shook it.

"Nice doing business with you Mr. Lucas." He says smiling.

"Likewise Mr. Summers. And remember we don't know each other."

"Wouldn't have it any other way."

"Did I hear correctly but are you dating Evan Summers?" Stella asks Macy as they were walking towards her car.

"Maybe. He just needs to get tickets for tomorrow's concert then we will be going on a date not dating." Stella squealed giving Macy a wide grin.

"Oh my God! I got the perfect outfit for you! PERFECT! I can just see him drooling over you!" Stella ranted on.

"STELLA!" Macy shouted snapping Stella out of her rant. "Nothing is for sure yet. He still hasn't got those tickets—"

"MACY!" The two girls turned around to see a damped dressed boy.

"Evan?"

"Here" He hands her two tickets.

"How did you?" She asks him completely shocked.

"Doesn't matter but what does it that you owe me a date." He says smirking.

"Fine." She says in defeat and Stella shrieked behind her.

"5. Don't be late." Macy says.

"Perfect." He then walks away and Stella comes up from behind and jumps on Macy.

"MALL!"

"Are we going to stake out their date?" Joe asks behind a tree.

"What? No. That's just…no Joe!" Nick says looking at his brother.

"Then how do we know how well it goes?" Joe asks.

"Good question. Maybe we will stake out their dates. But we have to be very subtle! And I mean my style subtle not yours."

"Come on!" Joe says groaning in disappointment.
