"Can I speak to her for a moment?" He pointed at me for the second time today. I mouthed 'No' to Stella. But she ignored me and left.

"Yeah give me the 'Best Friends forever' speech and leave me when I need you!" I muttered angrily.

The people around me were now started leaving.

"Come on guys! Don't you want something to gossip about? Stay and listen!" Like Stella they ignored me.

It was now me and him, him and me, alone in the room. I checked the exits. How fast could I get there? 5 seconds? My was body shaking. I should be stronger than this. His lips turned into a smirk.

"Now…"

Chapter 2: Type

Can the person who broke your heart fix it?

Nick/Macy

/I didn't know what to feel/

My breaths were heavy and within moments he was inches away from me. Nick cleared his throat and began again.

"I'm sorry about…How I acted." The apology sounded forced and somewhat false. He stared at the floor, hands in pockets, and looked rather nervous. Something I thought the new Nick wasn't capable of.

"Is this supposed to make me fall head over heels for you? I'm not going to be part of your 'hump and dump' scheme. I'm not." My voice was supposed to be harsh and cold but came out high-pitched and squeaky. My eyes wandered back to his well-built frame. I'm not one to scrutinize every little detail but shouldn't Nick be working? He is head of J records after all. I felt my forehead crease as I drifted into deep thought.

He let out a bitter chuckle, "I don't go for the emotional, irritable brunette t y p e."

I couldn't tell if he was joking around or being serious either way I felt saddened. I clenched my jaw trying to control my anger. He pushed me lightly and stroked my cheek. I felt them redden but quickly shook it off and tried to regain my posture.

"Hey, chill babe." I raised an eyebrow at him.

"Babe?" It just got worse from there…

"Uh…"

"Who are you calling babe?"

"Er…"

"Have you lost the ability to speak? Huh? You don't even remember me! How dare you call me 'babe'? Am I your 'babe'? I think not!" That was only the beginning of my 5 minute long rant. He was definitely taken back by my uncontrollable mood swings.

"Freak." That one word. That one syllable word brought memories rushing into my head. Memories that I had tried for so long to disregard were replaying in my mind. "You know what? Forget I even apologized! You're not even worth it."

I could no longer pretend his words didn't faze me anymore because that hurt. I glanced at him. I hardly recognized the man standing before me. You wouldn't believe he was an amicable teen. The model I had previously seen Nick with in his office walked into the room - easing the tension. Her red heels clicked as she made her way to Nick.

"Did I interrupt something?" She twirled her honey brown hair with her finger.

"No, not at all babe." Nick said before he crashed his lips onto hers. I touched mine and remembered the days when I wished he would do that to me. I fiddled with the hem of my shirt to pass time whilst I waited for them to finish. The smooch lasted 3 minutes not that I was counting or anything... Their hands were entwined and they were panting. I took that as a sign to leave. Nick didn't exactly stop me and I didn't think he would. But still, it would have been nice. Stella ran up to me, desperate for me to spill the details. I simply pretended I didn't see her and fastened my pace. She didn't seem to get the message and hung onto me like a lost puppy. She left me at my time of need and expected me to forgive her instantly.

"May May, I'm really sorry! I thought that maybe you two could sort out you differences. I mean you two were close in high school…" Stella bit her lip trying not to say anything that would upset me. She gave me some space to calm down. After I had time to think I came to the conclusion that I wanted to go home. Maybe Stella was right on saying I wasn't cut out for this kind of thing. It was 14:50 and I was proud of myself for lasting 8 hours. The time actually did pass quite quickly.I ran my fingers through my wavy hair and went to pick up my things.

/Completely worn out/

"Leaving SO soon? Good riddance. You were stealing my boyfriend." Venom trickled from the girl's mouth. Her arms were folded and her lips in a smile.

"What? Stealing who?"

"Nick. I know you're not dumb."

"Ha. Have him." I rolled my eyes and continued to gather my things.

"Don't think I didn't forget about your crush on Nick at high school. You were practically his stalker. Ew. But I knew he would come back to me. He did write me a song so it wasn't surprising."

"Penny?" I stuttered. Her honey brown hair definitely made her look different. But what I couldn't believe is that Nick took her back.

Stella must have heard me because she had now in the room completely surprised,"What! Penny?"

"That's right." I now had noticed her simple red dress had gotten shorter and was now 30 cm above her knee-When it was only 15 cm above her knee before. That made me speculate about what her and Nick did after I had left. I stared hard at my purity ring. Was I the weird one because I still stuck to staying pure? Whilst everyone else my age did as they pleased. I haven't even made out with a boy in fear that I would go too far.

"Why hadn't I recognized you before? You're always around Nick. Afraid he's gonna realize that you just a waste of time, eh?" Stella spat at Penny. Like me she had never liked her. Not one bit. We both had different reasons of course. I hated Penny because of the way she treated me. To everyone else she appeared to be a being that could do no wrong. Nick even blamed himself when she broke up with him. But know one knew that she sent me death glares when people weren't looking and constantly thought of new ways to bring me down. Stella merely hated Penny for the way she walked, talked and thought she was center of attention. Stella Malone jealous? No, that could never happen.

/Stomach Rumble/

I quickly pulled Stella to the canteen before she started fight. I scanned over the food. Salad. Salad. And more salad!

"Yum. Tasty." I muttered while rolling my eyes.

"Uh, do you want some?" Out of no where Nick was in front of me, offering me half of his cheese burger and his remaining fries. I was speechless and must have looked like a deer caught in head lights because that was one of the last things I thought he'd say .The food looked so tempting…

"Did you hear something?" I asked Stella and ignored him. "Because I didn't."

"Don't say I didn't try." He walked away and for a second I felt guilty. Just a second!

Stella glared at me, "Grow up Macy.We're adults not children any more."

We're adults not children any more. The same words Nick said to me at high school

Eh, it was alright. I added and took some things away that were in the 'sneak peak' and re-did this chapter about 3 times. I don't want to give things away to soon ;) Please review I will appreciate it very much. Would you like a chapter in Nick POV? And what do you think is going to happen?! Why do you think Nick forgot Macy? What happened to Kevin and Joe? Should Macy forgive and forget? Send in all your ideas and comments!
