CHAPTER 21
-------------------------- 1 week later. January 12th
“I’m loving the whole…let’s learn physics in pajamas element of home schooling.” I mumbled through a mouthful of cheerios to Joe sitting across from me. He basically lives here now. There’s no denying it now. My parents have even given up on kicking him out and back to New Jersey. And the Jonas’ had a cabin up in Muskegon that we didn’t know about, so they were staying there doing god knows what in the belo freezing weather.
“I know right…..I still failed but the sweats make it all the better.” He said, also fighting thourgh a mouthful of cereal.
“It’s not so much the sweats…I always wore sweats at school….it’s the PAJAMAS….as in flannel boxers and fleece long johns. I LOVE it.”
“You are so easily amused.”
“She’s been like that for years. Goes along with the attention span of a fly.” My mom siad way over on the couch.
“Gee Mom. Thanks for listening in on our conversation that has absolutely nothing to do with you and which you aren’t in.” I yelled sarcastically.
“No problem.” She waved her spoon around in the air.
“Okay then Harry.” WE put our empty bowls in the sink and sat down in front of the TV, which was currently flipped to GMA.
“What the?” Joe mumbled
“What?” I asked he pointed towards the bottom of screen, but before ei could read it, the anchor’s voice echoed with ‘Coming up: is Joe Jonas off the market? The evidence that proves the honest truth. This man is no longer single. Sorry ladies.’ The announcement went along with a candid picture of us kissing.
“Maaan. We went so long without it getting out.” I whined.
“Yeah well….it’s gonna have to come out eventually, it’s not like it’s going to change anytime soon.”
“Yeah…..”
“Alright. I’m done. You guys can have the TV.” My mom got up and went back upstairs. I flipped it to sponge bob.
“We really need to get ahold of Mandy” I decided.
“Umm…agreed, but where’d that come from?”
“I just….well me and Mandy always watch sponge bob in the morning and we were talking about it one day, and so it reminded me that we needed to call her.”
“Um. Ok. Go for it.”
“It’s not that easy though…..”
“Babe, it’s been a week. I think she’ll at least answer your call.”
“Uh, ok, then you call her, see how far that logical thinking of yours gets you.”
“Good point. Girls……complicated stuff.”
“Alright….I’m gonna call her…” I got up and grabbed the main line phone.
“Tell her that Nick is flipping depressed and depressing everyone else now.”
“Can d-’Hello?’”
“Omigod. Mandy?”
“Hey Maddy.”
“A-a-um, so watcha doin?”
“Nice save.” Joe whispered.
“Actually, Mandy, that’s not why I called. I need to see if your coming on tour. I know that’s blunt, but it’s the truth. We’re leaving in 3 days, either your going and forgiving Nick, or your not going. Which one is it?”
“Dang, harsh-ness.” She said.
“seriously….we need a final tally like….uber soon.”
“Um. I’m not going.”
“Are you sure?”
“Yes.”
“You don’t want to think it over?”
“No”
“Okay.”
“Is that all?”
“Uh…yah.”
“Okay. Bye.”
“A…..-bye..”
“What the heck?” Joe asked.
“That was weird.”
“I could tell….”
“Well….she’s not coming…and she doesn’t seem phased at all. Like AT ALL.”
“she phased my brother into oblivion.”
“Sucks for Nick. I feel so bad for him….I wanna buy him a iTunes card or something….make hime a tiny bit less depressed….”
“Won’t work.When Nick falls for a girl, he falls hard. And Mandy’s not falling. She’s practically flying.”
