Chapter 2: Suspicion

Nick's POV.

"Hey Guys!" Stella called out walking up to us. I looked beside her and Macy was walking next to her head down. Wait she seems taller and then I heard two pairs of heels that I am never used to. Whoa Macy is wearing heels too. I tried not to stare. Stay Cool.

"Hey Stella." Kevin replied

"Hey Stells." Joe replied cheerfully.

"Hey Mace" I greeted.

Macy looked up with her wide bright hazel eyes that seemed to be looking into my soul. Her hair was gracefully swept up into a high ponytail and her bangs bumped up which was rare. Everyone looked at me like I was crazy. Macy just smiled widely.

"Hey Nick." Macy greeted with joy.

"Anyway I got all your outfits for the interview today. I made an extra pair for Joe who always seems to think it's okay to wear a custom made suit while eating a sloppy-Joe." Stella said in disgust and anger.

"Hey! It was a Sloppy-Jonas-Joe! And it had extra the sauce you can't pass that up!" Joe said defending himself. Macy giggled.

"So do you all like the improved Stellcro improved outfits?" Stella asked in a squeal.

They all nodded in agreement. All they said was…

"Yeah Stella it's great." They all murmured.

"Yeah Stells fantastic!" Macy said sarcastically with a smile I couldn't help but smirk at the comment.

" Mace you don't like it?" Stella questioned with a pouty face.

"No. No I do honestly but I don't remember my skirt shrinking 2 inches and my shirt being this tight." Macy pointed out. But I couldn't help but look.

"Sweetie you have great legs I envy you for that so embrace it." Stella said with a smirk.

"But I think someone likes the skirt. Earth to Nick Lucas!" Stella said with a giggle snapping her fingers. I snapped out of my world. I blushed immensely, I looked up Stella's eyes fixed on me, eyebrows raised, and a smirk plastered on her face. I looked over at Macy her head down clueless to what happened in the past seconds.

"Oh-Uh I was just staring at a piece of loose thread. Uhh there you go!" I said as I pulled the imaginary thread. As the blush came to my face again.

"Nick! You can't pull the thread you can mess up the stitching! 'Come on Mace I'll fix it." Stella whined as she dragged her and Macy to the nearest bathroom. Leaving me with my brothers.

"Thread? Smooth move Nicky." Kev said.

" Yeah like you could've done better!" I snapped back.

"Just admit it man you like her!" Joe exclaimed. I put on my confused face and opened my locker and turned to stare at him.

"Oh Big Brother Joe I have no clue of what you're referring to." I said innocently.

"You're smitten with Mace." Kevin said joining the conversation.

"Oh really then why don't I have her face plastered all over my locker?" I stated showing them my locker with confidence.

"Oh because you keep a scrapbook with all of her pictures in it. No one else in it under your pillow!" Joe said with a mocking face.

I stood there shocked by his discovery, my confidence dropping to a zero. I recovered as fast as I could to reply. But Joe beat me to the punch.

"Tell her!" Joe shouted.

"If only you tell STELLA you like her first!" I said with a victorious smile.

" We agreed that we can see other people." exclaimed Joe.

" How did you agree if you guys were never together?" Kevin question.

"Uhhhh… Shut Up Kev!" Joe stuttered.

"I just don't want to get hurt again." I said.

"I understand Nicky but we've known Mace long enough and she looks like she likes you too. We all know she won't throw away your heart." Joe said sincerely.

"Thanks man I needed that." I said.

" Anytime I'm always here for you man." he said.

"Me too!" cried Kev I smiled at them.

" Thanks. Well time for first period" I said walking off waving.

I couldn't help but think about Macy, she seemed a bit off today but still beautiful I don't like being suspicious but I couldn't help it her eyes showed hesitance and was hazy. Forget it I hate suspicions.
