I could feel my face turning red.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" I asked, softly.
Nick shrugged. "I don't know," he said.
"Well..I'd better go..upstairs," I said.
I turned to go and I went up to my room and closed the door. A little while later, I heard Nick walking to his room, singing quietly. My heart began to melt once I heard what he was singing.
"I've got sunshine on a cloudy day.." he sang. "When it's cold outside, I've got the month of May." He closed his bedroom door and the singing faded away and I sat on my bed and began to think. Somewhere in the middle of my thoughts, I fell asleep. When I woke up, I felt insanely happy and I knew that nothing could ruin my mood, or so I thought...

Later that afternoon, Joe and I were in the basement playing Guitar Hero. Elvis was laying down on the other side of the room taking a cute little doggy nap.
"Darn it, I lost," I said.
Joe laughed. "You actually make me look good," he said.
"Don't even go there," I said. "Or you'll be sorry."
"Oh, really? I'm so scared," said Joe.
I looked around for something to hit him with and spotted a yellow plastic bat that belonged to Frankie. He saw me take the bat in my hands and he started to run away and I chased after him and started whacking him.
"Ow! Stop! Why are you hitting me?"
"For being a fluffball head!"
Joe turned around to see how far behind him I was and he accidentally tripped over a box and fell flat on his face. I didn't stop running soon enough and tripped over him and landed on the floor next to him. A pile of boxes toppled on top of us and we both looked at each other before bursting out laughing.
"What is going ON down here?" asked Kevin, coming down the stairs. He saw me and Joe on the floor laughing, piled underneath the boxes. Nick followed behind Kevin and he started laughing. He was wearing this very handsome blue plaid shirt and jeans while Kevin opted for a more casual red hoodie.
"Alexa was jealous because I'm better at Guitar Hero than she is," said Joe, as we crawled out from underneath the boxes.
"Was not!" I said. "You were SO asking for it."
"I SO was not," said Joe, mimicking me. I picked up the bat and was about to hit him again, but someone grabbed the bat out of hand and bonked me on the head lightly with it. I turned around and saw Nick grinning.
"Hey! Don't do that," I said, giggling. Great, now I was hyper.
"Come on, guys, stop messing around," said Kevin. "We need to get these boxes picked up before Mom and Dad see." We spent the next few minutes reorganizing the boxes and then we all sat down on the sofa.
"Kevin, where's your laptop?" asked Joe.
"It's upstairs in my room," said Kevin. "Why?"
"Because I want to go on YouTube," he said.
"Okay," said Kevin. "I'll be right back." He got up and went upstairs. Joe stood up and started doing this really weird dance while Nick and I looked at him and then at each other before laughing. Kevin returned with the laptop and they signed on to YouTube. I caught a quick look at the comments. One of them said "Nick I love you SO much! Marry me!" I resisted the need to roll my eyes. Joe typed something in the search box and he let out a "YES! I found it!" when the results popped up. All of a sudden I heard a familiar tune.
"Are you watching..BARNEY?!" I asked, smiling.
"Yup!" said Joe. He started to sing. "Well, I've been looking in the Barney bag and I found a lot of things. Gizmos and gadgets, odds and ends, and even some old string!" I joined in and we both stood up and started singing.
"Well let's ask ourselves the question. What can we make today? With imagination and the Barney bag we'll see what we can make today, yeah, see what we can make today!"
Nick and Kevin just stared at us like we were crazy. Nick leaned in towards Kevin and I heard him whisper, "Remind me to hide that small batch of chocolate from them."
Joe and I stopped singing Barney songs when he mentioned that word...
"There's CHOCOLATE in this house?!" I cried.
"Yeah, in the drawer," said Nick.
"Nick!" said Kevin. "Why did you tell them that?!"
"Oops," said Nick. Joe and I nearly killed each other while running up the stairs, trying to get the chocolate. I started pulling open drawers and I found the chocolate.
"Yes! Victory is mine!" I said.
"Hey, no fair! Give that to me!" said Joe.
"Sorry, bud," I said, before walking back downstairs, the chocolate in my hand. Nick saw me holding the chocolate and he just shook his head at me.
"You should've grabbed me a Diet Coke while you were up there," he said.
"Well excuse me for being a girl on a mission here," I said, joking with him. Nick and I liked to joke back and forth sarcastically like that all the time. It could get pretty interesting, especially when it came to a Cowboys game, since I really disliked them. If he didn't accept that, oh well. I am what I am and I'm not changing for ANYBODY.
Urgh ran out of room. There will be a Part 3 up soon.
