Chapter Eighteen

Nick ran off in the other direction. He was soon followed by Jenn, and Kevin was not too far behind.

"Nick," she screamed. Her voice was becoming shaky, because she was trying not to cry.

"Nick!!!" yelled Kevin. Nick kept running until he got inside. He just sat down on the couch and started to cry. "Nick, there you are," said Kevin running into the room.

"Get the hell away from me, I knew you had your eyes on her the whole time." said Nick.

"Nick, let me…. explain please."

"Why should I?" he asked snottily. "Because your girlfriend is outside crying her eyes dry. She thinks she going to lose you Nick. If you listen to me I will tell you what happened. By the way, just to get things cleared up I think Jenn is a beautiful girl but don’t you think she’s a bit young for me?"

"Yeah, I guess your right. What happened outside? Please tell me without lying." He said tears still rolling down his cheek.

"I wouldn’t do that to you, Nick. When you guys were chasing her I grabbed her and hid behind the bush. She said thanks and gave me a peck on the cheek. We were only playing around. Nick, to tell you the truth I think she thinks of me as a father to her, not a boyfriend." Said Kevin chuckling slightly.

"Oh my god, why don’t I ever get the whole story before I run off and do something stupid like this.

She’ll probably never want to speak or see me ever again." Cried Nick.

"I don’t think that’s true Nicky," said a female voice.

"Jenn, I’m so sorry." Said Nick running up to her and giving her a hug.

"It’s okay, it was only a frien…" she was cut off by the touch of his lips.

When they parted Nick said, "Kevin told me."

"Okay," she said.

"Guys, I think I’ll be leaving now that everything’s cleared up." Said Kevin from the other end of the room

"I’ll give you sweetie.." said Nick, as he and Brian started rolling on the floor wrestling.

"Boys, boys. This is not the appropriate behavior inside the house." Said Jennifer acting like their mother, and making everyone laugh even harder.

"Yes, mommy," said Nick as he got up and gave her a kiss on the cheek.

"So, what are we going to do today?" asked Kim.

"Why don’t we go to the mall." Suggested Keirstin.

"Sure, I guess is that okay with everyone else?" asked Jenn.

"Why not?" said Kevin.

"Okay then, let’s go."

"Are we going in the same cars as yesterday." Asked Nick

"Yes but, yesterday Howie and Joanna took the bus home, what do we do now?"

"Well, we are going to have to split you two up." Said Brian talking to Howie and Joanna

"Well, I guess." Said Joanna.

"Come on." Said AJ.

"We’re coming" they all yelled.

~10 Minutes Later~

Everybody got out of the cars, and walked inside. All the boys had their disguises on. I hope we don’t get noticed," whispered AJ.

"Do you want to go to a movie?" asked Nick.

"Not really, we were thinking we could go shopping for a while." Said AJ

"Okay, does anyone want to come with us?" asked Nick.

"Umm, we will." Said Kevin.

"Okay, let’s go. Bye guys. Let’s meet in the food court at 2:00."

"Bye."

~The Movies~

They all decided that they were going to see There’s Something About Mary. They all thought it was a good movie. During the movie Kevin asked Kim to be his girlfriend and she says yes. Nick and Jenn really didn’t see much of the movie.

"That was a good movie," said Kevin as they were leaving the movie theater.

"Yeah" said Kim grabbing his hand to hold.

"Oh, how sweet," replied Jenn.

"Lovey-dovey Kevvy." Said Nick teasing him.

"Nick that was rude" said Jenn as she hit him playfully.

"Yeah," said Kim giving Nick the evil eye.

"Come on, we have to meet the others at the food court in three minutes." Said Nick checking his watch.

"Oh, I forgot completely" said Kevin staring into Kim’s eyes.

They walked and made it to the food court just in time. Everyone was now a couple. AJ had asked Kierstin when, they were looking at sunglasses. (weird huh?) Brian and Kayleigh still hadn’t showed up.

"Where are Bri and Kay?" asked Joanna.

"Ummm, they went off by themselves" said AJ.

"They said they would be a little late," added Kierstin.

"How late?" asked Kevin.

"Not too late," said Brian coming up behind them, and hearing what they were talking about.

"Oh there you are. Where did you go?" asked Jenn.

"Well, we went shopping. Where did you think we went?" asked Kayleigh.

"Well, nowhere it’s just that I don’t understand why you couldn’t get here on time like everyone else." Snapped Jenn.

"Why does it matter, we are here now," Brian snapped back.

"Okay, no fighting guys." Said Howie.

"Fine." Said Jenn.

"Fine" said Brian and Kayleigh.

"Nicky, Kev, Kim, Howie, do you think we could go home? I don’t feel too well" she said.

"I’ve had my fill of shopping for now. I guess we could." Said Howie and Kevin.

"Sure baby." Said Nick.

"Okay" said Kim.

"Why don’t you feel good all of the sudden?" asked Brian being an instigator.

"Why should I tell you. Oh, by the way I saw who you were with last night. Everybody, it wasn’t Kayleigh." She said as she ran off.
