"Nick!" Nicole squealed running towards him and tackling him with an enormous hug.
"I missed you too." Joe mumbled from next to Nick.
"Yeah, nice to know we're loved." Kevin said.
Nicole laughed hugging the other two. Casey and Megan gawked in the 3's direction. Kendall and Logan
glared at Nick, Kevin, and Joe hoping, no, praying that Casey and Megan didn't like any of them. Carlos
had his hands balled up into tight fists. If looks could kill, he would have killed Nick the minute he laid
eyes on him. Nicole turned around to face her friends.
"Oh, ha ha, Casey, Megan, Logan, Kendall, Carlos, James, this is Nick, Kevin, and Joe. Nick helped
me finish the song." Nicole said grinning.
Megan smiled instantly. "Really? Nick we were just giving a panegyric about what you did to the song!
It's brilliant!"
Nick cocked his head in confusion. "Which song?"
"You're My Favorite Song." Nicole said.
"Ohhhhh okay. Thanks!" Nick said.
"Smooth Nick." Casey said.
Kendall tensed at Casey's playful tone. Joe, meanwhile, had snuck up next to Casey and was fixing his
hair. Casey noticed him and raised her eybrow.
"Can I help you?" she asked
"My, my your eyes twinkle bright like the stars. Do you speak Spanish?" Joe said
"No…" Casey started to say.
"Su cabello es como golden como el sol. Ha ha see? I'm a man of many languages. A polyglot, if
you would." Joe interrupted
Casey rolled her eyes. "Wow big words. Nice simile."
"I am a follower of semantics." Joe said puffing out his chest.
"Somehow I doubt that." Kendall snarled. He lunged at Joe.
Casey whipped around and held back Kendall.
"Down Kendall! Easy boy! Dow—I said easy Kendall!" Casey said pushing against Kendall's chest.
"The next song the girls write is going to be a threnody after I kill you!" Kendall snapped.
Nicole, Megan, Nick, Joe, and Kevin looked at Kendall in shock. Logan, Carlos, and James looked like they
wanted to join in. What was going on with Kendall? The girls didn't know but they were sure as heck
gonna find out.
