Okay, due to so many reviews (SO MANY! IT WAS AWESOME!) I've decided to go on with this story. It will probably be more than a twoshot, also, but most likely not a really long story. I hope this does the last piece justice! I'd love to see that many reviews again…
I'd like to dedicate this chapter to all you wonderful peoples who took time and reviewed last time! But seeing as I can't name every single one of you…I'd like to name for her most dramatic and humorous review! Thanks!
Disclaimer: I only own the plot! I don't even watch the show anymore!

Two teachers had scolded her for not paying attention in class that day. Macy sighed heavily, throwing some books into her lock and pulling out different ones. Her mind easily began to wander again. It was impossible not to be so curious and anxious after her conversation with Nick.
"Macy, Macy, Macy," Joe's voice spoke and Macy slammed her locker shut to find the Lucas brother's face smiling at her. Attempting to smile back and inconspicuously look over his shoulder, Macy felt a hint of disappointment at not seeing Nick nearby.
"What, what, what?" she asked with a small sigh that went unnoticed by him. Joe frowned and rested his arm on the lockers with a disappointed shake of his head.
"You disappoint me." He stated simply.
"What?" Macy was taken aback for a moment, scrunching her eyebrows together in confusion. Since when did she do anything to disappoint Joe Lucas? Or had she missed something? Oh, no! What if she was thinking about Nick again and he had spoken to her and she'd missed what he said!
"Oh, I don't know, I just wanted to see your reaction." Joe's laugh and shrug put her at ease and she rolled her eyes, unable to keep from smiling.
"Where's Nick?" Macy was unable to keep the question in any longer, but noticing her words her eyes widened considerably and she added quickly, "And Kevin!"
Watching in nervousness, Macy noticed Joe's eyebrows raise in curiosity before he spoke, "What would you be wanting with my brothers, dear Macy?"
"Oh, um…" Macy scrambled for a reply, not even thinking to say she was just wondering why there were missing. Her mind didn't work right when her thoughts were already occupied by Nick.
"What're you doing to the poor girl, Joe?" Stella sighed, seemingly appearing out of nowhere at the perfect moment for Macy. The brunette gave a small sigh of relief when Joe was instantly distanced.
"Why is it you always assume I'm 'doing something' and speak in a disapproving tone?" Joe pretended to look hurt, as Stella shoved him out of the way so she could get to her locker.
"Because, Joseph," Stella exchanged books into her locker before closing it firmly and turning to Joe with a smirk, "Most of the time you're up to no good."
"Well, Stella," he mocked her, jumping back instantly looking afraid that she would hit him at making fun of her, "I didn't do anything this time."
"Then why is Macy blushing?" Stella asked matter-of-factly, gesturing casually at the girl next to her. Until this moment, Macy had been content to stand in silence and half listen to the two, mostly thinking about Nick yet again.
"Huh?" Joe and Macy both uttered at the same time, the latter looking at Stella with widened eyes. Macy quickly gave her friend a "don't go there" look before pretending to be preoccupied with something in her book bag.
Joe was studying Macy closely, only just noticing that Stella was actually right and wondering why, indeed, that girl was blushing. What had they been talking about before Stella had come over? He couldn't' remember.
"What are you talking about, Stella?" Macy forced a laugh, trying to keep her face down so it would be harder for either of them to see who pink cheeks.
"Yes, indeedy, what, pray tell, are you speaking of, dearest Stella?" Kevin and Nick came out of nowhere and Kevin spoke with his usual broad grin, throwing his arm over her shoulders and Joe's. Was it just her, Macy wondered, or was Nick hanging back slightly?
"And I repeat-huh?" Joe spoke up, looking at Kevin as though he were crazy for the way he spoke so strangely.
"What, chap, never heard a gentleman speak proper like 'afore?" Kevin went on, Joe's blank face not changing at all. Macy suppressed a laugh, not wanting to draw any attention to herself again.
"He's been talking like that ever since class." Nick explained, rolling his eyes with a slight shrug. Kevin's arms slid from his brother and friend's shoulders as her turned to Nick.
"Here now, explain yourself, lad, you've been saying this ever since I came upon you in the hallway yonder." The eldest Lucas brother demanded in his strange talking, and Stella mouthed "weirdo" to Macy.
"I heard that!" Kevin suddenly nearly yelled, spinning to glare at Stella, whose eyes widened quite a bit at this unexpected reaction.
"How could you hear anything?" Joe's eyes narrowed suspiciously, "She didn't even say anything."
"I read minds." Kevin stated simply, shrugging, "So what were we talking about?"
"Oh, good, he stopped." Nick muttered, looking amused at the glare Kevin shot him at his little brother's remark.
"I don't remember anymore." Joe sighed, "I keep getting interrupted."
"Well, when I came over here Joe was talking to Macy and I thought maybe he was being annoying or something because Macy was blushing, but when I demanded to know what he did this time, Joe claimed he was innocent-don't give me that glare, Joseph, I'm not done- but then I was going to ask Macy what was making her blush, but then we were interrupted." Stella took a deep breath and beamed at them all, proud of herself for remember everything and recounting it all in one breathe.
She received four looks of surprise before Joe cleared his throat and spoke up, "I was innocent."
"Then why was she blushing?" Stella demanded, eyes narrowing suspiciously.
"I dunno," Joe easily admitted with a shrug, "Probably because of my dashing good looks." With these words, he flashed Stella a grin. She seemed unaffected, but Macy knew for a fact that the blond was melting inside.
"Hah!" Nick fake laughed at his older brother, "Good one, Joseph, good one." He smiled slightly, patting his brother's shoulder.
"I thought I was the handsome one?" Kevin spoke up, but no one seemed to hear him as Stella began speaking again, having Joe's complete and undivided attention, of course.
"Then what were you blushing about, Macy?" Stella asked pressingly, but seeing Joe about to speak up, added, "Since we know it wasn't about Joe's 'dashing good looks'."
"Hey! No air quotes allowed!" Joe protested, pushing Stella's still raised hands down with a frown, "Meanie." At her look of surprise and glance at the touch, Joe quickly withdrew from their contact.
"So, Mace?" Stella cleared her throat, quite possibly asking the question to steer clear of anyone commenting on her and Joe's awkward "moment" that just occurred.
Macy felt her face grow even warmer, unable to keep her eyes from flickering to Nick's face before her eyes fell back on Stella, "Me, blushing? Psh! As if! Anyways, I need to get back to class- so I'll see you guys later!"
"Macy, where-" Stella began to protest but Macy interrupted her as she retreated down the school hallway.
"Wow, Stella, I love your shoes-where'd you get them?" Macy called back.
"Well, actually," Stella began to reply happily, looking down her fashionable footwear before reluctantly looking back up, "I bought them at…" Her smile faded when she saw Macy was gone. Kevin was shaking his head slowly, Nick looking like he was trying not to laugh, and Joe had grin on.
"Uh, Stells…she pulled the 'ole 'new shoes' trick on you…" Joe informed her quietly, looking quite humored.
Stella only huffed, "I know."
I had a little bit of fun writing this chapter…Kevin is just so funny in the show, so I tried to make him so in here too.
As much as it'd be easier to ask for just a plain old review, I'd really like you all to let me know if you think I kept everyone in character in this chapter?
