Chapter 2 You May Not Know It...

Nick

Nope, Joe, you so won't upset me today. No way. I may be a bit smarter than you, aha. Gosh, what the hell am I thinking at the moment.... awkward.

So Kevin, Joe and – what a surprise – Macy were completely freaking out and Stella was obviously mad at me because of my reaction on her so called joke. But be honest, it just wasn't funny. I'm not too serious, right? I mean, the others didn't laugh either. Shall I apologize to her? No, I don't think so. She knows that I meant no harm.

Macy finally told us that Delilah's rumored arrival was set on today, in one hour to be exact. I could wait to find out about the truth behind all these rumors. I just couldn't believe it. Okay, maybe Delilah really wanted to quit homeschooling but I was so sure that she wouldn't come here. No way. Oh, I'm repeating myself. Holy crap.

The next hour is not really worth to think about it. Excitement, nervous faces & moves. Did you expect anything else? Well I didn't. The time was passing by and suddenly everybody was standing at the entrance. Well everybody but me. The way they all were standing there, glancing at the street like it was an adorable little puppy. Stupid. I just couldn't stand there any longer than five minutes. I walked back into the building all by myself & waited for the madness to end. Wow, there aren't many conversations in my thoughts...Err...okay...it's beginning to become awkward again.

Whatsoever I was so busy wondering about all this stupidity I didn't even realize that I wasn't alone.

"Err, excuse me but... you're Nick Lucas, right?" I turned around and just couldn't believe my eyes.

After I was completely sure that my self control was back I replied: "Yeah, I am. And you are...oh...you're Delilah Stevens." I tried to sound as calmed down as possible. "So the rumors were true..."

"Yep, I suppose. So... I was wondering if you could show me the way to my next lesson..."

"Oh, oh sure. But it probably won't be that useful at the moment since everybody's standing outside waiting for you to arrive. By the way, how did you make it to get inside without being seen?"

"Oh well, I've been here for a while already. I arrived when school usually starts without any limos or something like that. I seemed like a ordinary student I suppose otherwise we probably wouldn't have this conversation."

I hadn't really realized that we were walking until she opened her locker which was about 10 lockers away from mine.

"So...would you mind showing me around a bit? I mean I don't know anyone here so far...but you." She smiled shyly. Yes, shyly. I always expected her to be a conceited, egoistic & egocentric diva, a real drama queen. But I could tell she was still very down to earth. I'd actually call her likeable, fascinating. Hold on – I'm not falling for her, right? I just can't be. Me and falling for a girl never works out. Well that was the first time we ever talked together so I was probably overreacting.

"Oh yeah sure. I'd love to." I smiled back. Yep, I seriously smiled. Okay, I'm so overly falling for her. "But what are you planning to do with the crowd at the entrance?"

I could tell by the look on her face that she had totally expected that question and that there was no need for her to think about an answer anymore.

"Well, maybe we should let them stay there for a while? Not too long of course but maybe they get tired of it themselves? I'd like to see that."

"And I'm totally cool with that." Did I seriously just say that? Gosh, I can't think clear anymore. Time to switch the subject.

"If your plan works out, my brothers are going to be so mad. Well they'll be mad anyway but it will be even worse if they giveb up and find us walking around together." Apparently I was funny because she started laughing.

"So I guess your brothers are fans and part of 'the crowd', right?" The way she underlined 'the crowd' with her voice and her mimic made me melt so I started smiling again, just like I was under an evil devilish spell.

"Right. I can't understand their behavior though. Hello, we're famous, too. We shouldn't freak out every time we meet another celebrity. Well they usually don't but in their opinion you don't count as a regular celebrity or something like that, I don't know." And there we go, she was laughing again.

"You know, Kevin is 'your biggest fan' and Joe... well he probably finds you hot."

"Haha, well I can't wait to see there faces when they find out about this." she replied while putting a huge grin on her face.

That evil devilish spell made my smile again, all the way through the hallway.
