Sorry it took awhile I was having a little trouble with it, but here it is :)
Chapter 3
Madeleine POV
When Katie and Aimee had first started dating Nick and Kevin it had obviously become harder to ignore their presence, but now with Aimee and Kevin home for the summer and school almost over with it seemed that the girls wanted to spend more time with their boyfriends. I had to say that I was slightly jealous. Even though, I couldn’t stand him when he was around I pictured myself as his girlfriend wondering just what it would be like to date one of the Jonas’s and be a part of that elite group.
Not only was I jealous of the fact that Katie and Aimee had boyfriends, but I was also jealous of the fact how close they had become as friends. While we all hung out together and had fun together, Aimee and Katie were never ‘best friends’ like I was to each of them. But once they started dating the boys, they started having more in common, and even occasionally went on double dates with Nick and Kevin. Even though they didn’t mean to do it, I felt I was an awkward piece to their puzzle, I wasn’t fitting in.
So maybe that’s why Katie called me this morning wanting to hang out one on one. I had to give her snaps for the effort, at least she realized I was still there. “Aimee and I were worried that we had done something wrong yesterday.” Katie said as we walked through the mall.
“Nope everything was fine.” I insisted pretending to window shop.
“So you aren’t mad that the boys kind of crashed our Starbucks run?”
Katie knew me too well and I couldn’t exactly lie, “Well I wouldn’t say mad. More like disappointed.”
“I swear we didn’t plan it. They just showed up.”
Deep down I knew it was the truth. You couldn’t really walk into a Starbucks without the Jonas boys being nearby, especially Kevin. He had this coffee obsession, and practically walked around with a coffee cup glued to his hand. Still that didn’t mean I didn’t have a right to be upset. The girls could have kindly told the boys to leave, but still it was not something I readily would admit to them. “Really it’s ok now. I’m over it.” I smiled hoping it would throw her off slightly.
She shrugged, “So what’s up with you and Joe?”
“What?” I asked snapping my head back to face. Desperately, I was hoping she hadn’t realized my secret and was now going to call me out on it. Had I been so obvious?
“You’re just really mean to him. I mean even more so to him than Nick or Kevin. I guess I was just wondering why?”
I breathed a sigh of relief and then answered, “On occasion Nick and Kevin are … tolerable. Joe on the other hand is always a jerk. Do you see how he walks around like he is all that? And I hate the way he talks to me like he knows me? He doesn’t know me at all. Oh and don’t start me on his girlfriend…”
“Ok, I get it. Joe is the devil.” She laughed.
But Joe wasn’t really the devil, I only made him out that way so it wouldn’t hurt so much knowing we could and would never be together.
