I leaned my head out the window to see who it was and to hear what they were saying.

“Hey babe! You home?” I heard the person call.

I recognized the voice immediately.

“Yeah,” I called back.

“You gonna open the door, or do I have to climb your hair?” Nick asked jokingly.

“One second,” I answered.

I quickly went down the stairs, so fast I tripped on the last stair.

I then opened the door to an awaiting Nick.

“Hey I saw you trip, you ok?” Nick asked.

“Yeah, I’m fine,” I replied.

“You’ve got a big place here, do you own it all by yourself?” Nick asked.

“No,” I replied, “my friend Sarah owns it too.”

“Do I get to meet her?” Nick asked.

“No,” I replied.

“Why not?” Nick asked looking sad.

“She’s on tour with her boyfriend,” I replied.

“Who’s her boyfriend,” Nick asked, “an NYSNCer?”

“No,” I replied, “Eminem.”

“Oh that’s cool!” Nick exclaimed.

“Yeah it is,” I agreed.

“Wouldn’t you love to have a famous boyfriend,” Nick asked me.

“Yeah, it’d be neat,” I replied.

Nick half nodded, half shook his head.

“Have you eaten dinner yet?” I asked Nick.

“Nope,” Nick replied, “What do you have?”

“I was planning on ordering in pizza, having only me it’s a meal I can have for a while,” I replied.

“I like pizza,” Nick agreed.

“Alright,” I replied, “do you wanna call?”

“Sure,” Nick replied.

“Ok, follow me,” I told him.

I started walking up the stairs to my room. Nick looked over his surroundings and followed me as fast as he could.

When we got up to my room I sat on my bed.

“There’s the phone,” I explained, “Go ahead and call.”

Nick picked up the phone and asked, “What’s the number for pizza?”

“There’s a list of important numbers next to the phone,” I pointed them out.

“Thanks,” Nick replied.

He looked at the list of numbers and dialed the pizza place.

“What kind of pizza do you want?” Nick asked.

“Cheese is fine,” I answered.

“Ok.” Nick replied and smiled.

“When’s the pizza gonna get here?” I asked after he hung up the phone.

“In half an hour,” Nick answered.

“That’s good,” I replied.

“Can I use your phone to call someone?” Nick asked.

“I don’t know what else you use a phone for,” I joked.

We both laughed.

“Sure,” I answered.

I started to leave the room, but Nick stopped me.

“No it’s ok, I’ll go,” Nick offered.

“It’s alright, you can sit in here,” I replied, “I have to go do something anyway.”

I walked out of the room into Sarah’s room. I missed her so much. I looked at her calendar. She left two moths ago. I flipped the calendar to next month. She’d be coming back on the 21, the day we didn’t have a meeting. I sat on her bed and looked around the room.

Back in my room Nick was talking to Brian.

“I don’t think she likes me Bri,” Nick said.

“Why not?” Brian asked.

“Cuz like, she won’t talk to me very much,” Nick answered.

“What do you mean by that?” Brian asked.

“I say a bunch of stuff and the longest thing she’s said is about me ordering pizza,” Nick answered.

“Have you even asked her out?” Brian asked.

“I asked her if she’d like to have a famous boyfriend when she told me her friend Sarah is going out with Eminem,” Nick answered.

“You didn’t ask her, you just dropped a hint,” Brian replied.

“So, isn’t it the same thing?” Nick asked.

“Not really,” Brian answered.

“So what am I supposed to do?” Nick asked.

“You could make a candle light dinner for two,” Brian suggested.

“How am I supposed to do that,” Nick asked, “I mean I don’t even know where her dishes are.”

“Look through her cabinets,” Brian answered.

“That’s mean,” Nick replied.

“What was I supposed to say, ask her?” Brian asked.

“I dunno,” Nick replied.

“Do you want Howie or Kevin’s help?”

“They know where I am?” Nick asked.

“They over heard you telling me where you were going and what you’re gonna do. They think you’re dumb, but they said if you had any problems they’d help,” Brian answered.

“Ok,” Nick replied, “does AJ know?”

“No,” Brian answered

“Ok,” Nick replied, “Let me talk to one of them.”

“Hi Nick,” Howie said.

“Help Howie, I need help,” Nick replied.

“You could take her out under the stars and recite poetry for her,” Howie suggested.

“What is that gonna do?” Nick asked sounding exasperated.

“I dunno,” Howie answered, “it just sounds cool.”

“Put Kevin on the line,” Nick told Howie.

“Hi Nick,” Kevin said.

“Please help me,” Nick pleaded.

“Have you tried just asking her out?” Kevin asked.

“No,” Nick answered.

“Just do that,” Kevin replied, “it always works.”

“Ok Kevin, I’m gonna believe you,” Nick replied.

“When you see us, will you tell us if you have a girlfriend?” Kevin asked.

“Yeah,” Nick replied.

“Alright, see you tomorrow,” Kevin said.

“Bye,” Nick replied and hung up.
