A/N: I do not own the Jonas brothers. This is going to be short, a bit boring, and more of like a transition chapter. Let me now what you think. Enjoy! THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO REVIEWED MY PREVIOUS CHAPTERS! 3
She did not really care, anything that would take her mind off her mom's engagement would be great. "Okay, but you pick a good movie, and don't be wrong." The last phrase sounded a lot like a threat which only made Joe laugh even more.
He started flipping through channels, "Let's see." He was not quite sure what sort of movies se wanted so he was having problems deciding. He breathed out heavily.
"Found anything yet?" she asked sounding impatient. She was also flipping through channels, "Oh here, How about Mirror Mask?"
"I thought I was going to choose?" he said playfully.
She just laughed at him, "But you're taking too long. Besides it was just a suggestion."
"Well, is it any good?" he stopped flipping through the channels; he was not sure where Mirror Mask was shown, he has not even heard of it before.
"I think so. Haven't watched it before, but yeah I think it's nice." she replied.
"Okay then. Mirror mask it is." he agreed, "In which channel is it on?"
"Go find it." she answered.
"No fair, how am I supposed to guess which one it is?" he pouted.
"I dunno, just go find it."
"But Krisha…"
"No buts."
"Fine." he grumbled.
"You're so easy to manipulate and naïve sometimes." she commented.
There was a pause, he was looking through the channels, "I am?"
"Yeah, it's easy for anyone to have their way on you." she explained.
"Nah, I'm like that only with people I like." He said mechanically, letting it slip through his tongue. Even he was not sure if he meant what he just said or if it was just that he has gone to be so used with girls that he automatically says things that they would like to hear.
"Right." She said sarcastically. He was quiet, she was not sure why but did not put any thought into it.
"A-ha!" he finally said in a triumphant voice, "I got it!"
She was not sure what he was talking about, "What?"
"HBO?" he answered her question with another question.
It took a while before she could understand what he was talking about. He finally found the channel, "Yeah. How did you find it?"
The movie has already started with its opening credits by then; the title has not been shown. "I listened in to your TV and tried finding it through the movie channels." He sounded proud of himself, almost as if it were such a big achievement.
"For a moment I thought you did something smart." she said simply. She's impossible. She cannot even say anything positive to him. After all, he had to actually think about it. Thinking and Joe Jonas do not always get along unless it is crucially necessary like some finals test that could make or break his grades.
"Well I bet you still love how dumb I get." he teased.
"Wishful thinking much?" she retorted.
"So you are aware of my wishes after all." he chuckled.
"Uh-huh. Too bad I'm not your fairy god parent." she leered, "Now shush you mouth and watch."
He whined but grumbled a faint, "Fine."
They were quiet for the rest of the movie, or at least Krisha was. Joe however was just trying really hard to fight the urge to talk. He does not get the movie. But he did not want to pester her about it anymore because when he did he only got a flat, 'If you're going to be dense like that then you really wont get it.' She was proving her self to be really difficult and as much as he liked the challenge he was really being put down. If there was not a prize at stake, he probably would have given up on someone like this.
"Okay, so she's like stuck in her drawings? That's just stupid." He blurted out the comment even before he could realize it. And knowing her, he was expecting another round of insults. But he was wrong.
She laughed at his comment, "Well, that' what most skeptics say about unconventional idea. People get so locked with conforming with the popular beliefs that they choose to think that everything that trays away from it is ridiculed."
"You always do that." he said.
"You know, say something witty or something too smart that it makes it too difficult for me to catch up. And whenever we talk, it just makes me feel dumb." he whined.
"And that's a bad thing?" she asked, frowning at his complain.
"Well not really, it just makes it so difficult for me to be at par with your level."
She smirked, "You're Joe Jonas, for Pete's sake. You've got girls screaming your name from all over. You don't even have to try."
But he just continued whining, "Yeah I'm Joe Jonas, some guy you haven't even heard of until the charity concert. It's just weird for me you know, talking to someone who doesn't know me and who is not even slightly interested in me. That's just unfamiliar ground."
Jo did not mean to say it that way. Her callousness just got into him. It was just making him feel as he was making efforts for a lost cause. It was as if he was hitting on this huge chunk of rock that would not move—not even budge a little in his advances.
"So do you get the movie yet?" she asked, obviously changing the topic since she knew where Joe was going with it.
Joe gave a silent sigh, "Yeah, I guess so." As much as he wanted to sound more enthusiastic and less lame, he could not think of anything better to say, "So you like these sorts of movies?"
"Yeah, it's not like the usual flicks." She answered adding, "And I love Neil Gaiman."
"You what who?" he was puzzled. Was this an attempt to give him a hint that she was not interested in him in any way?
"The children's book author." She explained, "The guy who makes really cool graphic novels. This movie is one of his collaborations."
"Oh." Was all Joe said. He just feels so dumb around her.
They were like this for the next days. They would just talk on the phone, occasionally exchange text messages, and sometimes watch the same movie on television while talking. And although Krisha had slightly changed through the days, she was still so difficult to read for Joe. She does not even send him any message unless it was a reply to his. She never calls him back even if he asks. It was always Joe who would call. So even if she had been a bit nicer the past few days, Joe could not help but think that maybe he was not gong anywhere. Maybe, Nick was right, he can only make easy girls fall for his charms. And Krisha was proving herself to be far from easy.
A/N: Hey hey! Okay so I think this is going to run until chapter 18 or up to ch20(depends how long ti takes to get to the 'end point'), then we'll have a sequel. I already figured the best way to end this and please don't hate me, because I always write my stuff in a twisted way. Lol! Love love 3 Hope to hear from you guys:)
