Chapter 10 – Shut Up
"Nick!" Lilly screamed as she ran through the crowded halls.
"What is it?" he asked, once Lilly crashed into him. He rubbed his elbow.
"You hit my funny bone. Would you stop laughing? It's not funny." Nick complained.
Lilly rolled her eyes and stifled a giggle. "It is, too." She said.
"Whatever. Now what is it?" Nick asked, impatiently.
"I got an A on biology!" Lilly exclaimed. Nick sarcastically clapped his hands.
"Great, great." Nick said. His eyes scanned the hallway, looking for Miley.
"She's in Math." Lilly said. Nick nodded.
"Thanks." He said, grinning.
"Where's Joe?" Lilly asked. Nick laughed.
"Home Ed." Nick replied. Lilly shrugged. "Cool." She commented.
Before Nick knew it, Miley's hands covered his eyes. "Guess who." She said, in a gruff voice.
Nick rubbed his hand on her arm and Lilly laughed when Miley blushed. "Miley." Nick blurted out.
"Darn." Miley said. Nick turned, checking for teachers, and kissed Miley quickly.
"Let's go home." He whispered. Lilly coughed and they faced Lilly.
"Hi! Still here!" she said. Miley giggled and Nick smiled.
"KABAM!" Joe screamed from nowhere. Lilly jumped five feet and Miley ducked. Nick just shook his head, annoyed.
"Kabam! Slam! Slam! Wam! Sam I Am! Clam!" Joe rhymed.
"Joe, you sound like a monkey trying to figure out grammar." Miley remarked.
"Nah. Just Home Ed." Joe answered.
Lilly started laughing. "Lilly, there's nothing funny about what Joe just said." Miley said.
Lilly laughed even harder. "There's something pink on your ear!" she choked out, pointing at Joe. Joe turned red and Lilly bent over laughing.
"Lilly! Please! People are staring!" Nick exclaimed.
"I'll shut her up." Joe said. He kissed Lilly and Miley and Nick gaped at the sight.
Nick shuddered. "Age difference." He said. Miley smiled.
Lilly and Joe pulled away and Lilly was dazed.
"Thank God." Miley said.
Lilly started laughing again.
"JOE! SHUT HER UP FOR REAL!
"With pleasure."
