Chapter 21
"Ya know...Stuff." "Awkward!"
"Oh gosh. Diana it's not what you think!" Sarah said, Kevin holding her in her arms. "Better not be." Nick said walking towards them, I followed. "So..what exactly are you two doing?" I said trying to keep myself from laughing. They were both in their bathing suits, which made it 20 times more creepy...and funny. "There was a spider, and I jumped...and he just happened to catch me." Sarah said, Kevin putting her down. "I see..." I said covering my mouth trying not to laugh. "Here we go." Sarah said covering her face. I burst out laughing, I couldn't hold it anymore. Nick and Kevin started laughing too. Then Sarah did. She was laughing the hardest of all four of us. "I...Can't...Stop...Laughing!" she said. She was now walking backwards. "Sarah watch...!" I said but it was too late. She was already in the hot tub. We stopped laughing to see if she was okay. "Sarah?" I said looking down. She came up from under water, and just started laughing harder.
"I can't believe we have to leave in 3 days!" I said. We were standing in the elevator. "Only three?" Nick said. "Then we're going to have to hang out as much as possible." he said, pushing the '12' button on the elevator. Then it stopped three floors up. "Good day to you! Or should I said Good evening!" the creepy woman-man said. I looked at Nick. "Why are you here...on a business trip or something?" I asked, taking a step away from him. "I am here for the same reason you are." he said not making eye contact. "To film a Hannah Montana episode?" Sarah said, dripping wet. "Life is just dandy isn't it now?" he said, and walked out as the gold doors opened. Once they closed we all looked at each other. "I'm taking the stairs for now on." I said. They all agreed. "So Kevin...what are you doing here?" Nick asked. "Ya know...stuff." he said. "Awkward.." Sarah said softly. We all started laughing. "Let's go find the lovebirds." I said getting out of the elevator. "You two can go, I think we'll dry off." they said walking toward the door. "OWWWWWW!" Sarah said, tripping over her towel and falling flat on her face. Kevin went to help her up, and me and Nick walked away laughing. "Where do you think they are?" I said, looking up and down the halls. "Maybe their in the Love Suite." he said jokingly. "If they were, I would be freaked out." I said laughing. "Me too." he said. "Well they aren't in the arcade...or the room..maybe the lounge?" I said heading toward the elevator. "Yeah let's go check." he said and the doors opened. He pushed the '1' button. Then three floors down, guessed who walked in. "Good evening!" the woman-man said. "Are you two heading to the lounge? Pish posh why do I ask? Clearly you are. Looking for the couple? Yes yes..good place to look. You two are so smart. Good thinkers you are! Diana, don't worry that pimple will go away soon! Bye now!" he said getting out. "Oh. My. Gosh." I said looking at Nick. "What it's not that noticeable, it's only 1 little pimple." he said. "Not that!" I said playfully pushing him. "How does he know my name!?" I said, sitting down. "I don't know...weird huh?" he said sitting next to me. There was a loud clank, and the elevator stopped. "What was that?" I said kind of scared. "I don't know.." he said. He pushed the open button...nothing happened. "Oh gosh. Can you believe this?" I said hitting my head against the wall. "Well...yeah actually. But atleast we get to spend SOME time together." he said. "Yeah." I said smiling. Then the elevator started moving again. "Or maybe not.." I said looking away. Then the door opened, and Carly and Joe walked in holding hands.
"We'll be back at 10 mom." I said walking out the door with Nick. We were going for ice cream since we never got to spend time together. "Okay sweetie, have fun!" she said and we walked out. Three floors down, HE walked in again. "I'm not trying to be rude...but are you stalking me?" I asked the 'man.' "No I am not. We have been coincidently running into each other for that past week or so. I have nothing to do with it Diana." he said changing his tone, as if he was my father. "How do you know my name?" I asked. This time the elevator door didn't open. "I know your name for the same reason you know Nick's name." he said. "Cause he's my boyfriend? He's your boyfriend too?" I said freaked out. "Heaven's no. I do say Diana that you need to think before you say things. I know your name because I've heard someone call you it. Pity." he said. The door still hadn't opened. "How do you know so much about us?" Nick asked. "I only know so much because you have told me so much." he said. "We haven't told you anything." I said a little rudely. "Let's not get angry here. I hear all you talk about. It's not my fault you have such a big mouth my dear." he said. He hadn't made eye contact the whole time. Me and Nick looked at each other. Then the door opened. "I am afraid this is my stop. I will not be seeing you two anymore, nor the rest of your 'group', so a bid you a farewell." he said. "..bye." Nick said. "Wait!" I said grabbing his arm. "What's your name?" I said. "Mr. Needham." he said politely. Then he left. We also got out, since we were at the lobby. "I should have known." I said. "Who's that?" Nick said taking my hand. "Someone you don't want to know." I said laughing.
"Why would someone sell shell fish ice cream?" I said to Nick. We were sitting in the ice cream shop. "I don't know...it sounds really...bad." he said. "I know...I don't like fish plain..but in ice cream?" I said laughing. We talked a whole lot for about an hour, then we left. We walked around for a while after, then the limo picked us up. "When are you coming back to Rhode Island?" I asked him. "I don't know. Not until our summer tour." he said, he didn't sound happy. "Oh." I said. "Do your other friends know you know us?" he asked. "No way. Never." I said. "Why not?" he said. "Too much attention. I don't want people to like me just because I know you." I said laughing. "Oh." he said laughing too. "How come you guys don't tell people about us?" I asked, really wanting to know. "We don't really know. I guess we just want a private life..something to look forward to after all the shows and interviews." he said. "Yeah that makes sense." I said. "Well we might be seeing a LOT more of you." I said smiling. "How?" he said looking up. "Some guy at Hollywood Records is interested in us. We have another meeting with him tomarrow." I said still smiling. "Really? I didn't know you guys could sing!" he said, sounding happy again. "Well I guess we can!" I said laughing. This should be great.
This time, three floors up, no one got in. The door didn't open. Thank God. We walked up to the door. I knocked, and Kevin answered. "Finally! Joe's asleep." he said. I walked in. There was an empty container full of cantaloupe juice. "I can't believe him! That was the last of my cantaloupe!" I said. Everyone laughed at me. Then Joe woke up. "Oh hey guys! Can we go home now? I think I had one too many pieces of cantaloupe." he said. "ONE too many? Only one? Joe there were over 100 pieces in there!" I said as he got up off the couch. "Really? I lost track at...about 3." he said. "Funny. Can you even count past there?" I said joking. They laughed. "Yeah! I can atleast count to 5." he said jokingly. "Nice." I said. We all hugged and kissed and they left to go home. "So guys how was your night?" I asked. "Good." Sarah said. "Unbelievable." Carly said. "Why so?" I asked, taking off my coat. "Look." she said. Me and Sarah walked over to you. "Where did you get that?!?!" I asked. "Joe."
