"Wow

Got Me Going Crazy

Chapter 10: What in the world?

"Wow! You were amazing!" Caitlyn says excitedly to Natalie who walks towards the group.

She smiles and surprisingly, hugs Caitlyn.

"Thanks! I've missed talking to you on the phone!"

Nate looks back and forth between Caitlyn and Natalie.

"You two were talking? Since when?"

The girls just roll their eyes and continue talking. Nate sighs and looks over to Shane and Jason. They pull him over for a 'man-to-man' talk.

"Hey dude. How ya holdin' up?" Shane asks Nate.

Nate shrugs, "I don't know. I'm still pretty shocked about Natalie."

Jason and Shane nod simultaneously, in that 'yeah-we-get-it-but-we-really-don't' sort of way. Everyone except for the gang leaves and the gang is sitting on the large sofa.

"PRESENT TIME!" Jason spastically yells during a moment of silence.

Shane and Nate roll their eyes while everyone else laughs. Nate sits down with all the gifts. There are tons upon tons of gifts!

"Err guys.." Nate says as he sees the mountain of gifts getting bigger by the minute.

Caitlyn laughs and helps Nate escape from the gift mountain, more like mountains now, and onto a free chair lying around.

"Thanks. I think I'm going to have to open some of these later, guys." He says with a laugh.

Everyone laughs.

"OPEN MINE! OPEN MINE!" Jason yells and pushes Nate a gift into his lap.

"Okay.. Looks like I'm opening Jason's.." Nate says as he starts to unwrap it.

"Um.. wow. Thanks for the ummm.." Nate says confused as he looks at the gift.

Caitlyn looks at it and tries not to laugh. Mitchie puts a hand over her mouth to keep from giggling. Nate glares at her playfully. She rolls her eyes.

"You don't know what it is?" Jason says with hurt filling his voice.

"Aw Jase." Ella tries to soothe.

"Jase. I know what it is.. Pshhh. I was just messing with you. Thanks." Nate says smiling at Jason.

Jason gives him a man-hug and sits back down with a smile on his face. Nate sighs with relief and sits back down.

"Which one?" Nate says pointing at two gifts.

"Mine! Mine!" Shane says like a 3-year-old and points to his present.

Everyone laughs and Nate opens the one Shane pointed to.

"Oh great. Just what I needed. Thanks." Nate says sarcastically.

The girls look confusingly at Shane and Nate.

"What-" Caitlyn starts.

"in" Natalie says with wide eyes

"the world!" Mitchie finishes while laughing.

"It's a-" Shane says.

AN: Ooh. Cliffy! What present did Nate not know what Jason got him? What did Shane get that made Nate remark that way? LOL. Find out next time on Got Me Going Crazy! Review!
