Baby, You're Invincible: Chapter 11
"You two can't be serious about last night." I said over breakfast.
"But we are, little brother. You are in love." Kevin countered back while Joe just continued eyeing his phone. I'm pretty sure he's waiting for a text message from Stella.
"That can't be. Maybe we were all just so groggy last night that our minds processed everything that I said incorrectly." I tried defending myself.
"I can't be in love with Macy. We're just really good friends."
"Uh, Nick, who said anything about Macy?" Joe asked with a mischievous grin spreading on his face. Uh-oh.
"U-um, I-I…" I stuttered making Joe grin more if that was possible.
"We'll continue this some other time, Nick." Joe sighed. I figured Stella's giving him the silent treatment because he seemed like he was just too eager to go to school today.
"Oh, hi, Nick, Kevin… Joe." Yeah, she definitely was giving Joe the silent treatment.
"Stella." Joe greeted curtly which made Kevin snicker.
"Macy's on the tennis field early today." Stella said which made my brothers look at her quizzically. I think she must've noticed my eyes searching the hallways for Macy.
The other two just shrugged off what she said.
The day progressed on and I was just too busy that I had to skip lunch to study for World History. I finally got to see Macy when she approached me in the inside garden after classes. I was staying behind because I wanted to find an inspiration for a song. It has been so long since I last wrote one.
"Hey, Nick." She said in a chirpy voice.
"Mace." I said without even glancing at her. She must've thought I didn't want her to be there because she turned around, ready to head for the glass door.
"Wait. Why don't you sit down, Mace?" I told her. She faced me hesitantly. She looked at the bench then on the grass. I don't know why but she plopped down on the grass instead of sitting next to me.
"Uh, Mace, there's an awful lot of space beside me, you know." I said to her but she just smiled and didn't make a move towards the bench.
"Nick, Nick, Nick. When will you ever learn to appreciate all the little things around you?" She said so calmly while staring at me with her round brown eyes.
I scoffed at what she said. "What has that got to do with sitting on the grass? And just so you know, I do appreciate everything around me. I pay attention to details well."
She sighed and I took that as I sign of defeat but she just seems to have an answer to all of my questions. "Look at this grass for example, Nick. It's just feels so cool and fresh against me. Why sit on the bench when you have the grass where you can roll around on?" And she lied down on the grass to emphasize her point. This time, I was the one who sighed.
"Anyway, it's a beautiful Friday afternoon. What brings you here?"
"Well, I was wondering if you're free tomorrow." She actually looked like she didn't mind that she and Randolf just broke up. Normally, girls would take almost a month to get over someone, right? Or was that just me?
"I'm not sure if I am, Mace. Why?"
"You see, I'm teaching kids from our sister school how to play softball and I was wondering if you'd want to help out."
Okay, this is weird. Why isn't she asking her teammates instead?
"Ok, but why me?" I just had to ask her.
"Well, Randolf and I broke up so it'd be weird to ask help from him. My teammates aren't available either. I saw you on the field a couple of times and you seemed quite capable of playing against me."
Oh. There I go again. Assuming. "I don't know, Mace. I'm not really good with kids."
"Come on, Nick. Please? A Yankees fan wouldn't let the kids down would he?" Damn. She just used the Fan card on me while obviously charming me with her irresistible pout.
"That's just unfair, Macy, but fine. I'm in." Who could resist her pouting anyway?
A smile spread on her face and she practically pounced on me. "Thanks, Nick. It's gonna be fun." She hugged me quickly and bid goodbye.
I think I just found my inspiration.
A/N: Okay, that was a crappy chapter. I think I'm the one losing inspiration. I'll have to rewatch all JONAS L.A. episodes. :DD Happy New Year, everyone! Gah. I don't wanna go back to school. D:
