Chapter 8











~~~~~~~The next day~~~~~~~

Stephanie went downstairs and found Nick sleeping on the couch. She went down the hall to the kicthen and Brian and AJ were sitting at the table, talking and drinking coffee. She walked in and they both looked at her.

"Hey. Want some coffee?" Brian asked. "No thanks. I'm going to leave now. Could you tell Nick to call me later?" "Yeah, sure."

Stephanie smiled and then left. Stephanie opened the front door to her house and then the phone started ringing. She walked over and answered it.

"Hello?" "Hey, Steph. It's Chloe." "Hey. Wassup?" "Nothing. Where were you yesterday?" "With Nick." "Ohhh!" "Shut up! Can I tell you something?" "Yeah. Anything." "Promise you won't say anything to anybody?!" "Yeah." "Ok. I really enjoy hanging out with him." "Are you started to fall for him?" "I actually really don't know." "Ok. I won't say anything." "Thanks. What did you call for?" "Well, me, Amanda, and the guys are going skating and we wanted to know if you wanted to go?" "Sure." "Ok. Be ready at like 1." "Ok. Gotta go." "Alright. Bye." "Bye."

~~~~~~~~Around 1~~~~~~~~

There was a knock at the door. Stephanie got up off of the couch and answered it.

"Hey. Are you ready?" Amanda asked. "Yeah. Let's go." Stephanie said.

Stephanie and Amanda walked over to the car and got in. Stephanie said 'hi' to everybody except Mark.

"So your not going to say hi to me?" Mark asked. "Nope." Stephanie said. "Why?" "Cause I don't want to."

The rest of the ride was silent except for the loud music because nobody dared to say anything.

~~~~~~~At the rink~~~~~~~

Mark and Stephanie took a break from skating and sat down at a table in the snack bar.

"We need to talk." Mark said. "I know. Tabathat told you that I went out with Nick." "Yeah. She did." "And you believe her?" "I'm not going to date somebody who's cheating on me." "Me and Nick are only friends." "I'm sorry but we're over."

Stephanie got up and walked (skated) away. She went to the pay phone by the bathroom and dialed Nick's number.

"Hello?" Brian said. "Um. Is Nick there?" Stephanie said. "Yeah. Is this Stephanie?" "Uh. Yeah." "Ok. Hold on."

"Hello?" Nick said a few minutes later. "Hey, Nick. It's Stephanie." "Hey." "Are you busy right now?" "No. Why?" "Can you do me a favor and come and pick me up at the rink?" "Sure. What happened?" "Exactly what I told you Mark was going to do." "Ok. I'll be there in a couple of minutes." "Thank you." "No problem." "Bye." "Bye."

Stephanie hung up the phone. Then she went and returned her skates and went outside to wait for Nick.

~~~~~~~Later~~~~~~~

A car pulled up in front of Stephanie and Nick got out of the back of it. Stephanie stood up from sitting on the ground.

"Hey." Nick said. Stephanie walked over to Nick and hugged him. Brian rolled down the window and him and Kevin screamed, "Yo, lovebirds. Come on."

Nick gave them a dirty look while Stephanie gave them a confused look. They both got in the car.

"Do you want to come over?" Nick asked. "Yeah, sure." Stephanie said.
