I spent the next day fiddling around on my guitar. I was able to play out this new song, and get most of the lyrics down. I really wanted to play it for Selena, and then ask her to be my girlfriend. I chuckled at that thought. That's never gonna happen. I could never gain that much courage to ask her out.
I went down stairs and started to make myself some lunch, and get things cleaned up for when the girls came over. Joe popped his head into the kitchen and told me that he was going to go get them. I nodded and went back to cleaning, humming the new song. When I was done cleaning, I went back upstairs to see if I could put the finishing touches on a few of my creations.
I must've been playing for a while, because Selena knocked on my door and came into the room. "hey stranger, why are you hiding upstairs? The party is downstairs."
I stopped singing, and looked at her. "Oh sorry. I guess I lost track of time. I'll come down now."
"no. Wait, what was that you were just playing?" she asked.
"Oh that? Just a new song that I'm working on." I told her, hoping she wouldn't ask too much more about it.
"It sounded good. Can I hear some of it?" she looked so hopeful. Damn, I couldn't say no to that.
"Yeah, I guess," I picked up my guitar. "it's not that good though. Just warning you." I played the first few chords and then started to sing.
"Oh, her eyes, her eyes,
make the stars look like they're not shining
Her hair, her hair, falls perfectly without her trying
She's so beautiful, and I tell her every day
Yeah, I know, I know, when I compliment her
she won't believe me
And it's so, it's so, sad to think that
she don't see what I see
But every time she asks me do I look ok, I say
When I see your face,
there's not a thing that I would change
Because you're amazing,
just the way you are
And when you smile,
the whole world stops and stares for a while
Because girl you're amazing,
just the way you are"
"Wow, Nicholas! That's so cute. Is it about that girl you like?"
I nodded slowly. "When you and I were talking it just got me thinking… I had to write. It's not done though. I need to make some changes."
"well I think it's beautiful. Whoever this is for is a lucky girl." She smiled, and stood up heading for the door. "Are you coming downstairs? I don't think that we should leave the other two unattended for too long."
"Yeah, I'm coming." I put my guitar down and followed her downstairs. Joe and Demi had bowls and cake mixes out.
"I wanted to make cupcakes. I thought it would be a fun idea. I even brought over sprinkles and icing so we could decorate them!" Demi exclaimed.
"Demi, you're a loser." I told her, "but this does sound like a fun idea. Let's get to mixing."
The four of us spent the next two hours baking cupcakes. By the time we were all finished, we had over 100 cupcakes, all decorated differently and the kitchen was a mess. This is gonna take a lot of effort to clean, I thought to myself, and I'll probably be the one doing it.
"Hey, Nick" Joe called from downstairs. "Can you help me put away all these bowls. I don't know where they go."
"Go ahead" Demi said. "We'll start cleaning up."
I ran downstairs to help Joe. When I got there, he had already put the bowls away. "Well, that was a waste of my energy" I sighed.
"Hey, man. So Demi and I were talking" Joe started to say as I walked away. "and she thinks that Selena likes you." He called a little louder.
I stopped dead in my tracks, and turned to face Joe. "What?"
"Yeah, Demi said that she thinks Selena has a giant crush on you. but she hasn't admitted it yet. That's what Demi is trying to get out of her. She thinks you two would be an adorable couple. She's trying to help set you up."
I shook my head. "she doesn't like me, bro. she likes this other dude."
"How do you know that?"
"she told me."
"what's his name?" he asked.
"Didn't say."
"Exactly. Because it's you. she didn't want to tell you straight up to your face."
I laughed it off, and headed upstairs. As I was going up, I heard the girls talking. I stopped so I could listen in.
"He doesn't like me, Dems" I heard Selena say. "He told me all about this girl who he likes, and it's not me."
"Selena, hun. Trust me, I think he likes you. just admit that you like him too." Demi coaxed Selena.
"No, I can't. he doesn't like me."
I waited for either of them to speak again, but when neither of them did, I came up the stairs. "You girls ready to go home? I'm sure Joe will drop you guys off soon." I told them.
"Yeah, thanks. That would be great." Selena said. "Oh, I forgot to tell you all. Lautner is throwing a party next weekend, and wants you guys to come."
"yeah, sure. That's cool, I'll be there." I smiled at Selena and Demi.
"You guys ready to go?" Joe called from the front door. I gave each of them a hug, and then went upstairs to my room.
Could it be true? Does Selena actually like me? Was Joe telling the truth? I shouldn't read too much into this. They could've been talking about any other guy. Uhhg. Why is this all so confusing? I wish I was like that guy from Twilight and I could just read her mind.
Bleeh. I'm not happy with these chapters anymore. But I feel the need to write… oh well. As long as you guys enjoy them! R&R. thankyou :)
