Chapter 2: Embarrassing

--

"Joe! Wake up!"

"5 more minutes," I said tiredly.

"No Joe. If you don't wake up, I'm going to hurt you." I sat up on my bed and rubbed my eyes to see Nick on my bed.

"You had to wake me up," I said kind of annoyed.

"Who else is going to wake you up.Now hurry up. And you should be thanking me because if I didn't wake you up, you wouldn't be able to see you're girlfriend."

"For the last time she is not my girlfriend."

"Like I'm going to believe that." I gave him an evil glare and then he quickly walked out of my room. I waited a minute on my bed, then got ready for school.

After school

School was so boring. I was late for class again since Nick left me so now I have detention. I was on my way to the classroom when I saw Lilly walking in the other side of the hall, towards the door too.

"Hey," I said.

"Hi," she replied.

"I haven't seen you all day. Where were you at lunch?" I asked.

"I was in the library," Lilly replied.

"Oh. So what are you doing here?" I asked.

"I have detention,"

"Me too. What are you in for?"

"Someone blamed me for throwing spit balls at the teacher. How about you?"

"I was late for class again."

"Oh. Well at least we have detention together," Lilly said. The door opened. It was Mr. Corelli.

"I don't think now is the time to be talking if you have detention. Come in," Mr. Corelli said opening the door wider. Lilly and I both walked into the classroom to see that it was empty.

"Where is everyone?" I asked.

"You two are everyone," Mr. Corelli replied. "Now sit down in front of the classroom. The sooner detention starts, the sooner detention ends." Lilly and I sat next to each other in front of the classroom. "And no talking." Mr. Corelli sat at his desk holding a newspaper in front of his face. When I knew he wasn't looking for sure, I threw Lilly a note onto her desk. She grabbed the note right away and stuck it in her hand. She made sure Mr. Corelli wasn't looking before she opened the note.

Wanna come over to my house after detention?

She took a pen from her backpack and wrote in the note. Then she threw it back onto my desk. I grabbed it quickly and read what she wrote.

Sure I guess.

I looked at Lilly and smiled. She smiled back at me. Her smile was so beautiful.

"What are you two smiling about?" Mr. Corelli asked as he placed the newspaper on his desk. Lilly looked away.

"Uhh... nothing," I said.

"Okay then. I'll be back. I have to get some coffee in the teacher's lounge, and stay quiet," Mr. Corelli said as he walked out the door. Once I heard his footsteps going farther away from the classroom I started talking.

"So how long do you think you can stay at my house?" I asked.

"I thought we weren't supposed to be talking," Lilly said.

"Well he's not here and besides, you just talked."

"I know I talked but," Lilly paused, "never mind."

"So how long do you think you can stay?" I asked again.

"How long am I allowed to stay?" I stopped to think about it.

"As long as you want to."

"Well in that case, when I feel like it." Right then Mr. Corelli walked into the room.

"You two are free to go. I have to fix the printer in the teacher's lounge." Lilly and I quickly got up from our chairs and walked past him.

The Jonas Residence

"So who do we have here?" my mom asked when she saw Lilly and I enter the house. I introduced my mom to Lilly.

"Mom, this is Lilly. Lilly, this is my mom."

"Nice to meet you. Just call me Denise," my mom said as she shook Lilly's hand. "Are you going to stay for dinner?" Lilly looked towards me and I gave her a look telling her she should stay.

"Sure, if that's okay with you. But I'd have to ask my mom first," Lilly replied.

"Of course it is and you could invite your mom as well. I'd love to know more about Joe's girlfriend." Lilly looked down and started twirling her hair shyly.

"Mom. She's my friend. Not girlfriend. Friend," I said, my teeth clenched.

"Sorry. I mean Joe's friend that's a girl," mom corrected. She winked at the both of us and then walked towards the kitchen.

"Sorry about my mom. She could be really embarrassing.

"It's okay. My mom is the same."

"Wanna go to my room?" I asked. From the look on Lilly's face, I knew she was getting nervous.

"Why?"

"So my mom doesn't embarrass me again."

"But it's kinda funny," she giggled. I gave her a look which made her stop laughing. "Okay." As we were almost up the stairs, Kevin past by.

"Hey Joe. Who's this?" Kevin asked.

"Kevin, this is Lilly. Lilly, this is Kevin."

"Hi Lilly. It's nice to meet you. I've heard so much about you coming from Joe." I knew Kevin was trying to embarrass me. I shouldn't have told him anything about Lilly last night. Kevin was trying so hard to hold back his laughter when he saw me turn a light shade of pink. Lilly looked down again but I knew she was blushing too.

"Kevin, don't you have to do that thing all the way over there," I said.

"What thing? I don't have anything to do," Kevin replied.

"Fine. You do nothing while Lilly and I go to my room," I said. I grabbed her wrist and led her to my room. When we got to my room I let go of her wrist right away.

"Sorry about that. Kevin is kind of, you know; wait, lets not waste some time. My whole family is embarrassing."

"Don't worry about it," Lilly said giggling. "Your room is so cool compared to mine. My room is so, plain."

"Well lets change that."

"How do we change that?"

"We could redecorate your room over the weekend if you want."

"Really?"

"Yeah. It would be fun. Well if it's okay with your mom of course."

"Of course that's okay."

"Are you sure about that?"

"Most definitely."
