You guys will hate me for this, but no the G.N.I.A.O. is not in this chapter, it will be in a different chapter. I wanted to add a few small chapters, just to explain everything before.
This is just a small chapter on Nick/Macy's friendship.
I think alot of people like this story because it was really dramatic in the biggining, but the thing is, the story isn't going to be so dramatic as it goes along. I keep worrying that I am going to dissappoint my readers. :(
This was done really last minute, so there may be a lot of mistakes.
Dedications and Shoutouts:
Sidney Loves Werewolves- For being the best beta-reader ever, I recommend her to anyone who needs a beta. She does a really great job. She is the best! Without her this story wouldn't even have started!
darksmile- I wanted to thank her for answering all of my questions. All her answers were really useful.
Fairytaleredux- I want to give her a shoutout for having figured out where I was originally going with this story. Unfortunetly I had to change the storyline, but I found it impressive that she was able to find my original plot.
There are two other people I wanna shoutout to but I have to do it in another chapter, because if I do it in this one I will ruin the surprise.
Disclaimer: As always, I own nothing. And as always, it sucks.
Key:
This means Nick's texting
This means Macy's texting
I am doing this in Third Person for this chapter only.

The Lucas brothers helped Macy out of the school building and gave Macy and Stella a ride home. Kevin was driving, Stella was in the passenger's side (she called shotgun). In the back, Macy and Joe had the window seats, and Nick sat in the middle.
"Nick, can you give me Macy's schedule? It should be in her backpack," she asked.
"Sure," Nick said. He picked up Macy's backpack, and began to search. Macy wasn't paying attention. She was looking out the window. He found a small notebook, it was electric blue but it had a black rim, and there was just a small black ribbon tied neatly on the lock. "I think this is it." He handed it to Stella. Stella took off the lock, and looked through the book.
"This isn't Macy's schedule book," Stella said, reading every page. Macy turned to Stella. Her eyes went wide.
"Stella don't read that!" Macy exclaimed. She lunged for the book but Stella was out her reach. Joe smirked.
"What is it? Her diary?" Joe asked mockingly. Stella shook her head no.
"It's her song book," Stella said.
"Stella!" Macy whined, still reaching for the book. Stella stopped on one specific page. She turned to Macy.
"What's 'One and The Same' about?" Stella asked.
"Two friends," Macy said. "Now give me it!"
"Who's it about?"
"Us," Macy said. "Now hand it over."
"Aw Macy, I love the song!" Stella said.
"I'm glad, now give it to me!"
"Only if you show me the music to it."
"Fine, later."
"Nuh-uh," Stella said. "Now."
"We're in a car and I have no instrument."
"You can use mine," Joe offered.
"The song requires an electric guitar, not an acoustic one," Macy said.
"You can use mine," Kevin said. He instructed Joe to give Stella the guitar. Joe handed Stella the guitar case. Stella opened it and carefully handed Macy the guitar. Macy groaned.
"Do I have to?" she asked. Stella nodded. Macy reached into her shirt to grab her necklace and she took it off. On the silver chain was a small guitar pick which had her name engraved on it. Macy started playing. It was a very fast and speedy beat. Stella was smiling as she read along the lyrics in her head. She noticed before each lyric was a letter either A or B.
"Macy, what are the letters for?" Stella asked showing Macy the book.
"This song is a duet, the letters tell the which singer sings it."
"Can you sing it?"
"That is where I draw the line," Macy said as she stopped playing and snatched the book from Stella.
"At least tell me who 'Until Your Mine' is about," Stella asked as Kevin parked his car in front of the firehouse.
"No," Macy said, getting out of the car. "I don't even remember who I wrote it for." Stella sighed. Stupid amnesia. She thought of something else.
"Can you sing it?"
"No," Macy answered, ringing Stella's doorbell.
"Please!" Stella pleaded as her mom opened the door to let them in.
"Hello ," Macy said politely.
"Please."
"No."
"PLEASE!"
"No!"
"PLEASE!!!!!!"
"No." Macy went up the stairs.
"How long do you think its going to take until Macy caves?" Joe asked.
"Knowing Stella, a couple seconds more," Nick said.
"No way," Kevin said.
"FINE!!!!!!" They heard the scream from Stella's bedroom window. Joe and Kevin looked up at Stella's window. They saw a beaming Stella and an annoyed Macy. They all laughed it off. They went into their house and spent the rest of their day in their room. Then, it was 12 PM, Kevin and Joe were sound asleep. Nick was still awake. He was bored beyond all purpose, and he couldn't sleep. All of a sudden, his phone started vibrating. It said he had a new text message from Macy. He opened it.
Are you still awake?
Yeah why?
You need to help me, Stella is snoring up an earthquake. Has she always been like this?Nick chuckled as he read the message.
If it's only an earthquake, then count your blessings. It's been worse. Macy smiled at the responce. Then a thought occured to her.
Why aren't u sleeping?Nick looked at the question. He didn't know why he wasn't sleeping, maybe it was guilt. But he wouldn't tell her that.
IDK, I just can't.
Me either. I'm nervous about tommorrow.
Why?
Stella tricked me into singing at the G.N.I.A.O., and Stella said I was part of the welcoming commitee, so I have to meet and guide two new kids through Horace Mantis, tommorrow.
Really?
Yeah. I'm so nervous about both. At this rate I won't be able to sleep.
Me either. Nick answered her, then he had an idea that would help the both of them. I'm going to go take a walk, get some air. Do you want to come with?
Sure.
C u outside in 5.
Okay.
*************************************
Nick got ready to leave and left the firehouse, completly unaware of the two people he woke up on his way out...
When he got outside, Macy still wasn't there. After about 15 minutes, he opened his phone and was about to text Macy when she finnally showed up.
"Sorry I'm late," she said. "I couldn't remember where I put the key to my luggage bag, so I had to pick one of the outfits Stella lent me for the week. It was so hard to find a t-shirt and jeans in all the skirts and designer tops she gave me. You should see what she's making me wear tommorrow." Nick chuckled at Macy's horrified expression.
"So, what do you wanna do?" he asked her.
"I don't know, anything."
"Wanna go to the arcade?" he offered. There was a 24-hour arcade, just three blocks away. Macy nodded. When they got there they played endless games (which Macy all won).
"Is there any game here you haven't beat me at?" Nick asked.
"I think we still haven't played Rockband, but you still have no chance at beating me at that," Macy said confidently. Nick walked up to her.
"Is that a challenge?" Nick asked, inches away from her face.
"So what if it is?" Macy responded.
"Let's bet on it. Loser buys the winner ice cream tommorrow."
"Deal. I love ice cream. It'll taste even better knowing its free." Nick was shocked at Macy's new attitude. He liked this new competitive Macy. She turned away and started walking towards the Rockband game. "Which instrument do you want? Guitar or drums?"
"Drums," Nick answered picking up the drumsticks. They started the game. They put it on hard. Just before they started, Macy turned to Nick.
"Get ready to lose, superstar." The song started, and they began to play. They talked during the game.
"What makes so sure you'll win?"
"Watch and learn." When the game ended, their scores were revealed. Nick: 93 percent. Macy: 100 percent. She won. "I'd like a cookies and creme ice cream with rainbow sprinkles, please," she said, smiling.
"That is not fair, I call a rematch," Nick said.
"You already owe me one ice cream, I don't want you to go broke. Anyway, I have to get back to Stella's or she'll kill me," Macy said.
"So...what do you have to sing at the G.N.I.A.O.?" Nick asked as soon as they left the arcade.
"A song I wrote."
"Is it the one Stella asked you about?"
"No, but I feel really bad for lying to her."
"About what?"
"I lied to her about not remembering that I wrote 'Until Your Mine' about-" she said, before slapping her hand over her mouth.
"Who'd you write it about?" Nick asked curiosly.
"I'm not telling you," Macy said.
"Come on," Nick pleaded.
"There is nothing in this world that will make me tell you."
"Oh really?" He started tickling her. Macy started laughing uncontrollably. He ran after her.
"Nick Lucas, there is no way you can catch me. I'm the fastest runner on the track team!" Macy said as she ran. When she arrived at the alley between the firehouse and Stella's house, she froze in horror. Nick caught up to her. He didn't notice what made her stop running.
"Ha! Gotcha-!" he froze as he saw what Macy was looking at.
"WHERE HAVE YOU TWO BEEN!!!" Stella, Joe, and Kevin yelled at them. Uh-oh.
**********
The next day at school, the Lucas brothers were at their lockers. Joe and Kevin were harrasing Nick for the fifth time that morning.
"I can't believe you snuck out of the house at midnight to go on a date with Macy!" Joe exclaimed loudly.
"It wasn't a date! We couldn't sleep, so we decided to go to the arcade," Nick responded. "And keep it down, will you?" Joe and Kevin gave him a look.
"Just admit you like Macy," Joe said.
"Fine, I like Macy, but as a friend. She's kinda cool now that she doesn't remember about JONAS. Now can we drop the subject?" Nick asked them, annoyed. Joe and Kevin dropped the subject.
"Where's Stella?" Joe asked.
"She said she was going to help Macy show the two new kids around, so we won't see her all day," Kevin answered. "I got to go to class. I have science class, and I'm getting a new science partner."
**************
Kevin left his brothers at their lockers. When he got to class, he saw a girl already sitting at his table. He sat down next to her. She was busy drawing something, and she
didn't notice Kevin sitting next to her. Kevin peeked over her shoulder. She was shading some color on to her paper. She was drawing an otter. It was perfectly drawn. Kevin just stared at the picture. She stopped suddenly. She turned to him. Kevin tore his eyes from the picture and looked at the girl.
"Hi, I like your picture," Kevin said nervously.
"Thanks, you must be my new science partner," she said, sticking out her hand.
"Yes, I'm Kevin," he said, shaking her hand.
"Nice to meet you. I'm Millie," she said, smiling.
