Oh, good job Macy! I'm so proud of you letting him go!" Stella squealed. She totally mistook that entire confrontation.
"Yeah...." I said, shrugging slightly.
"Finally, that jerk is- oh, Macy. How'd it go?" Kevin said, walking in with his hair still wet from the bath he just took.
"Okay." I squeaked.
"Wow, Macy! I just realized that you haven't fainted in such a long time!" Stella squealed. Great. Thanks, Stella.
"Mm-hmm." I mumbled before I hit the floor with a thud.
---------------------------------------
Wow. Way to go Stella. Really helping with this whole 'control myself' thing. Stella was asleep in her bed in the guest room as I shuffled and woke up in my own bed. Only five more days....
I needed to go to Stella's. I really did. Any other girl would say be overjoyed to be in a house with a..... Attractive guy. But I couldn't keep fainting like this. Yesterday, I just saw Kevin's curly, wet hair and his smell of vanilla, and water still making his shirt cling to him after his bath. And his cheeks were kind of flushed red. It was really cute. I wondered if that was what he looked like after-
Ahem. All I did was see that and faint. Well, Stella was a factor in that equation, too, but it was myself causing me to faint. This house was turning me crazier than ever.
"Macy, are you awake? I'm sorry about yesterday." she said sleepily. I shrugged. Not like it wouldn't have happened anyway. We both got up and got dressed (curse those girls who took my key and made me wear 'fashionable' clothes) and headed downstairs.
After breakfast, we all sat around the TV watching.... something or another. I was too preoccupied with Kev- Stella's weird outfit she put on me. I mean, skinny jeans? Tank top? Not me. I finally broke the silence.
"Um, Stella? Can... We go to your place tonight?" I asked quickly.
"You don't like it here? Is anything wrong? I can fix it!" Kevin babbled. He wasn't going to make this easy.
"Never mind." I grumbled, fixing my eyes back to the TV.
"Is it just me, or are you guys feeling a LITTLE stir crazy?" Joe shouted, his eyes popping out of his head when he jumped out of his lazy couch position.
"Yeah. We need to get out of this house. Wait, today is... Monday?!?" Stella shouted.
"It's ten! We missed school!" Nick added. Everyone freaked out.
"My mom's gonna kill me!"
"We can still make it!"
"Let's just call in sick!"
"STOP!" I finally yelled. Everyone quieted and looked at my freaked out face.
"Let's make good use of our off-day." I said quietly. Everyone nodded.
"So, we can go bowling, to the movies, bowling, swimming, bowling, the park, bowling, for a walk, bowling...." I hinted.
"I want to go to the movies." Joe said. Everyone nodded except Kevin and me. Had they really not gotten the hints?
"Okay, let's go!" Stella squealed, running out the front door.
"Uh, I need different shoes." I said, looking at my heels. The accident possibilities were endless... Stella looked at me. She nodded slightly, then grabbed Nick and Joe and pulled them toward the car. Kevin followed with a weird look on his face.
Stella's POV
"Nice 'stir craziness', Joe." I smirked in the car. We had shut Kevin outside. Hope he wasn't too mad...
"And the school thing was genius, Stella." Nick complimented.
"Oh, and the look on Macy's face was priceless when I said movies. Now Kevin and her just need to sit next to each other." Joe said lastly. I nodded.
"I think I can handle that."
----------------------------------
Macy's POV
I walked out in those stupid rhinestoned Converse. Stella will pay... Never mind.
My head was swirling. Didn't I say bowling, like, five times? And I told Stella that I love going bowling! So why did she agree to going to the movies? Whatever. Maybe she wanted a change. Maybe this would be fun. Maybe I could sit next to Kevi- I mean Stella.
Gosh Macy, you have a boyfriend again! Ugh. Why did I agree to that? I shook my head and caught up with Kevin (who was weirdly knocking on the window of the car) and a giggling group of Stella, Nick, and Joe through the window.
"Don't they hear me?" Kevin shouted, hearing my footsteps. I shrugged. But soon a smile played on my lips. It was good to be an athlete. You learned stuff from the guys.
"Do you have thick doors? Or are they ignoring you?" I asked out of curiosity.
"They are laughing and I guess the doors are thick..." he mumbled. I agreed. Stella's laugh could drown out anything.
"Hey, can you get me a tennis ball and a steak knife?" I asked casually. Kevin gave me a weird look.
"Sure....?" he said, walking inside again.
Ten minutes later, he walked out with the things I needed and handed them to me. I said thanks and smiled smugly.
Walking to the driver's side door, I could still hear Stella's loud laugh. I cut the tennis ball in half. Hopefully this lock was central.
Taking half of the tennis ball, I placed it on top of the outer lock. I pushed it in, forcing air into the lock, hopefully making it believe it was a key. The lock clicked and I smiled triumphantly.
"Not bad!" Kevin said, his arms crossed. I nodded.
"I could be a car-jacker. But I'm a girl." I said, opening the door and hearing the shocked shouts from the annoying laughers inside.
"Did you not hear me knocking?" Kevin said, coming up behind me. They all shook their heads. But their eyes looked guilty.
"Whatever. Can we go?" I asked Joe, who was in the driver's seat in front of me. He nodded and gulped before I hopped in the back and we sped away.
