"Hi Joe."
"Hi...uh,_." She's calling me.
"So I asked my mom about the tour thing. She said its perfectly fine that I go on a 3-4 month trip with 5 people I don't know." Her voice was caked with sarcasm.
"Well, if you want to get technical its really 2."
"No, its 5."
"You say that and you're talking to one of them on the phone."
"...okay...4..." I laughed. Its funny how we can have a normal conversation over the phone.
"Okay, well since you're coming I'll give you the details. We've got a month to prepare. So we'll be touring in June, July and August. Then we have little venues and free shows in the beginning of September. Think you can hang with us that long?"
"Please, I live with the Energizer Bunny. i think I can deal."
"Sweet," I chuckled," I'll let Nick and Kev know you're on board." We talked a little bit longer then disconnected. I was in the kitchen looking in the opposite direction of the door. I turned around to call my brother's but...they were already there.
"STALKERS!" They chuckled.
"Who was that?" Kevin asked.
"_"
"What did she want?"
"My body," I smirked," But I told her no."
"Yea right," Nick scoffed," If that ws why she called you wouldn't say no." I laughed, "I will not confirm or deny that. But Seriously, she said she can go on tour with us."
"Awesome." they said simultaneously.
"so what did you guys really want?"
"Not much...just got a photo shoot in an hour," Kevin said.
"What?! Why didn't you say that earlier?1"
"It's fun watching you squirm," Nick chuckled.

Pt.14 Breaking News
"I called Bex, she said she's at _'s.We can kill two birds with one stone," Nick said.
"You called her?" I asked. Nick blushed. Kevin shook his head,"No,I called her. Before I could get a word in, he snatched the phone away." I looked at nick knowingly.
"And to think you make fun of me."
"Oh yea?"Nick retorted,his face still as red as a cherry,"At least I don't come up with stupid plans to get girls I like." The n he smirked," I just get them."
"Why you little--" I lunged for him but Kevin held me back.
"Guys!Stop!Seriously, you're not even fighting over the same girl!" That was true. I straightened up my collar.
"One of these days, my plan will work. I"m driving." I grabbed my keys and went out to my car.
"Joe?You coming or not?"Kevin asked. We were in front of _'s house. I was clutching the steering wheel so my brothers couldn't see my shaking hands.Why is it that every time I come to this girl's house I get nervous?! Maybe its because she hates me.Or she's secretly in love with me and DOESN'T WANT TO ADMIT IT! Yea...let's go with that.
I pried my hands from the steering wheel and managed to get out of the car.Kevin rang the doorbell as I stepped onto the porch. _ opened the door. She saw us and sighed heavily.
"Why is it every time I opn this door one of you is on the other side?" She looked straight at me when she said 'you.' I looked down at my feet blushing.
"Bex is here, right?"Nick asked. _ looked at him oddly.
"...yea..."
"Well...can we come in?" Kevin asked,"We want to talk to the both of you." _'s eyes skitted between us nervously.
"Fine..." she huffed. Nick almost bowled her over trying to get in. He soooo likes Bex Kevin chuckled. __led us into the living room. She had a nice house. It was decorated in black and different shades of tan.
"Hey Bex,"Nick beamed. Bex looked up from the magazine she'd been flipping through.
"Hey Nick,"she said,"Oh, and Joe and Kevin." __ plopped down next to Bex.
"So what do I owe you for this visit?"
"Well..."Kevin says, then he elbows me,"Joe you tell them."
"Ow! What?! No way! It was Nick's idea." Aw...crap!Bad move Nick smirked at me.
"You're right Joe. It was my idea. We want you two to go on tour with us." _ stared at him in disbelief and Bex's mouth dropped open. _ burst out laughing.
"This is a joke, right? Well, you got your laugh. Now bye-bye."
"No,seriously," I said,"We're touring with...Taylor Swift...and Miley Cyrus and they wanted us to invite two fa..friends to share their bus with."
"Are you serious?!!"Bex gasped. She turned to _.
"Ohmigosh! We have to go! I mean seriously, we'll get to go all over the U.S!Its gonna be so much fun!!"
"She's got the right idea."Kevin smiled._ looked unsure.
"I...don't know.I"ll have to ask my...mom.."
"Oh..."Bex dropped _'s hands,"I forgot about your mom. Its gonna be hard to reach her, huh?"
"Yea,"_ nodded,"Give me a week or two and I'll let you know."
"And just how are you going to do that?" I asked. I took my phone out of my pocket and tossed it in the air.
"D@mn...fine!You win,okay?" She threw her phone,not tossed,threw,at me and I tossed her mine.
"Yuo know, its ridiculous how long that took," I said.
"Yea well...can it,Rockstar. Its not like I did it willingly."
"Hey what about--"
"Belle," we said at the same time. _ put her hands over her eyes and sank into the couch.
"I don't think I'll be able to go..."she moaned.She actually sounded like she wannted to go now. Bex patted her knee reassuringly.
"Mom's not going,"Kevin whispered to me.So...He nudged me harder.
"Mom's. Not. Going."
"What does that--"
"Frankie'll be with her. Here. At home." Oh!
"wait!" I said loudly. _ uncovered her eyes.
"Our mom's staying here with Frankie. I don't think she'd have a problem watching Belle." _ jumped up.
"Seriously? Ohmigosh, that's be great!" She hugged me tightly.Did you hear me?She hugged me. I was in shock that she was hugging me, so I didnt hug back. I stepped out of the hhug nervously and somehow ended up on the floor. I jumped up quickly and brushed myself off. I was pretty sure my face was red.
"Well Toma-Joe,"Nick said.Yup, my face is red
"If you're done acting like an idiot,"he continued," We can go home." I cleared my throat,"Uh,yea. Right." I think I ran out of the house. I'm not really sure, I just know Kevin and Nick took forever to get back in the car.
"Dude, what happened in there?" Kevin asked when he finally got in the car.
"Sh-She hugged me."
"Way to stat the obvious,"Nick said from the backseat. I backed out of the driveway and started for home.
"No, you don't understand..."
"Obviously not,"Nick said,"You've hugged before."
"Exactly! I've hugged her. She's never hugged me. I've always had to initiate contact...maybe she just let her guard down. Which would mean it meant nothing...Or! Or, she trusts me enough to let her guard down. I don't know...I'm confused...What does it mean?!"
"It means you're a psychotic lunatic." I gave Nick a confused look in the rearview mirror.Oh crap!Did I say all that outloud?!
"Well...Joe..."Kevin said slowly,"Its nice to finally know what you're thinking." I pulled into our driveway.
"How much did you hear?" I asked carefully.
"How much did we..what?"
"Joe, we've been in the car the whole time. Unlike you, we actually listen," Nick said.I blushed,"Never mind..." I quickly got out of the car and ran into the house.
"Joe's going paranoid"I heard Kevin say.
"Seriously,"Nick replied.
__ called me 3 days later.
"You called her?" I asked. Nick blushed. Kevin shook his head,"No,I called her. Before I could get a word in, he snatched the phone away." I looked at nick knowingly.
"And to think you make fun of me."
"Oh yea?"Nick retorted,his face still as red as a cherry,"At least I don't come up with stupid plans to get girls I like." The n he smirked," I just get them."
"Why you little--" I lunged for him but Kevin held me back.

__ called me 3 days later.
Pt.13 You're Joking, Right?
Its about a year later since the concert and almost kiss._ and my relationship is just like it was back then.Microscopic.We keep going on theses friendly...group dates, then she ignores me and so on and so forth. Every time I would make a move she would acton it then pull away. I DONT GET THIS GIRL! My brothers don't understand why I don't give up. Then again, neither do I. Maybe its because she's so mysterious.Or maybe its because she knows we have this connection but she doesnt want to act on it and she knows I know she knows I know and...wait..what?I've gone and confused myself.
"Joe!"Nick appeared upside-down in my doorway.
"When did you learn to walk on walls?"I asked.Nick rolled his eyes,"Why don't you turn yourself right side up and ask me that again." Oh, right...I kinda forgot I was on my bed upside down.I sat up quickly and all the blood came rushing back to me.
"Oh...bad idea," I groaned.Nick chuckled.
"Dad's got something to tell us...Toma-Joe."
"Ha ha...very funny." I followed Nick down the stairs and to the living room.
"Where's Kevin?"I asked.
"With Danielle,"Mom answered,"We told him the new earlier." Nick and I sat down across from our parents.
"We're headlining a new tour,"Dad smiled.
"Awesome!"Nick and I said.
"You'll be touring with Taylor Swift and Miley Cyrus,"Mom added.
"What?!" Nick and I exclaimed.We looked at each other then back at our parents.
"Isn't it exciting!"Mom beamed.
"You're joking,right?" I said.
"Mom, Dad there's already enough rumors about Miley and me. This won't help the cause,"Nick said.
"Why can't we tour with Forever the Sickest Kids or...All Time Low?"
"Boys,"Dad said gruffly,"That's enough.We won't speak of it again for a month." They stood up to leave. Dad turned back to us before he exited.
"Miley and Taylor would like you to invite a fan, one for both of you. They'll share a bus with them." Then he left so the news could sink in.
"We should invite _ and Bex,"Nick said suddenly.
"You're joking,right? I can barely spend an hour with _ let alone 3 or 4 months!"
"Just a thought," Nick shrugged,"They are our friends."
"Oh please," I scoffed,"Don't act like you're not crushing on Bex." Nick blushed,"Sh--She's a really nice girl. That's it. God, Joe, why do you have to make everything wierd?" He stormed out.Because things never go my way, but they always seem to fall in your lap. Maybe this tour will bring me and _ together. Its a work in progress...
"Joe!"Nick appeared upside-down in my doorway.
"When did you learn to walk on walls?"I asked.Nick rolled his eyes,"Why don't you turn yourself right side up and ask me that again." Oh, right...I kinda forgot I was on my bed upside down.I sat up quickly and all the blood came rushing back to me.

Pt.10 Honor Second Society Date Concert
"I don't want to go.One of you should take her," I said as I adjusted my tie.I had on a white long sleeve,a red tie, a black vest and black skinny jeans.
"No way dude,"Kevin said,"You're the one that's in love with her."
"i am not!" I rolled up my sleeves.
"Just keep saying that,"Nick said,"Hey Kev, we should go."
"Where're you going?!"
"Bowling with Demi and Selena."They set me up. I bet they planned this from the beginning. I glared at them and grabbed my keys.
"Who cares"I said,"I'm better off going to the concert." I heard them laugh as I went down the stairs.As I drove to _'s, the paranoia sunk in, just like it had on our first date.What if she slams the door in my face.Ohmigosh!What if she thinks I planned this!She's gonna hate me even more than she does now...I parked in her driveway and built up the courage to walk to the door.My hand shook like crazy as I rang the doorbell.Moments later, she opened the door.
"oh...its you,"she said sounding disappointed,"What're you doing here?"
"I...uh..I'm here to...take you to the concert," I said quietly.She looked at me wide-eyed.
"You're joking right?"I shook my head then looked down.
"No...Bex said she couldn't go....so she asked you." She rolled her eyes and mumbled something I couldnt hear.
"Hold on," _ sighed,"Let me get my bag." She closed the door.I walked slowly to my car. She came out and I opened the door for her then got in myself. I sighed then drove to where the concert was being held.
"I figured we'd get ther early so you can meet the band,"I said trying to break the silence.She didn't say anything. I sighed.This is gonna be a long night...
I parked at the backstage exit._ followed me inside.I saw Mike first.
"Michael!" I smiled.
"Joe!," he beamed," You made it!"
"Yup.Hey Mike, this is _.She's a friend of Bex." He shook her hand.
"Nice ti meet you _.The rest of the guys are up ahead." We followed him to the hallway where the dressing rooms are.
"Joe!" Andy exclaimed,"You're here!"
"Yea,I am. This is _.Bex's friend." _ waved shyly. I went down the line introducing everyone.
"Is she the---"
"Shut up,Alex,"I growled.
"Am I the what?" _ asked.
"Nothing!" I put on a black messenger hat and my red Ray Bans.
"We should get to our seats. It gets crowded pretty quickly."
"See you afterwards,"Jay said.
"Am I what?" _ repeated.
"Don't worry about it." Just as we claimed our spots, the arena filled in.
"I've never been front row before,"_ whispered.
"Well then,prepare for the experience of a lifetime.You do know the Honor Roll right?"
"The what?" I smiled,"This should be fun."
"Jo--"
"Shh! Don't call me that," I whispered,"Call me Adam."
"Why?" I looked at her in disbelief.
"You do know who I am right? And where we are."
"Yea but whats that got to do with anytihing?" I leaned in close to her, so I could whisper in her ear.
"well, if the thousands of girls around us find out I'm Joe Jonas we'll get mobbed." I leaned back and looked into her eyes.
"Unless you want to.Get mobbed I mean."
"Um...no thanks...Adam" I smiled and the lights went out. Honor Society started their set off with Full Moon Crazy.
"Hey everybody,I'm Michael Bruno,"Mike said when the song was over,"Are you guys ready to party?!Alex! Drop that beat!" They played a lot of their hits like Dont Close The Book and Two Rebels. Every now and then I would look at _ and see a big smile on her face.It made me happy seeing her happy.
"Okay,for this final song, we want a couple people from the audience to help us,"Andy said,"How bout you two." He pointed to _ and I.
"What?! No way!" _ said quietly.I grabbed her hand.
"Come on,it'll be fun." Security led us onto the stage.The arena went completely dark then a spot came on Mike.
"You were always the girl,"he sang. The crowd went crazy! They continued playing See U In The Dark. I watched as everyone did the Honor Roll with us. I laughed when _ stumbled over a step.All in all the show was amazing.__and I went backstage.
"You planned that!" she screamed. I laughed,"always be prepared to dance when Honor Society is in town."
"aint that the truth," Alex chuckled.
"That was embarassing,"__ mumbled. I laughed again.
"Well...I should get you home," I said.
"we'll see you around,Joe," Mike called after us.
I drove _ home and just like the first date, she lingered in the car.We sat in her driveway just talking.I'm not completely sure how it happened,but we both started leaning in towards each other like we were gonna kiss.Our lips were inches away...when she turned her head and leaned back.The little tease!
"Um...bye Joe,"she blushed,"Thanks for...this."She all but jumped out the car and ran inside.
"Ugh!!!"I groaned,"Why is this so hard?!"We almost kissed.Why did she stop?What's going on in her head?I want to know. I need to know!
"No way dude,"Kevin said,"You're the one that's in love with her."
"i am not!" I rolled up my sleeves.
"Just keep saying that,"Nick said,"Hey Kev, we should go."

Pt.10 Coming To You LIVE!
Andrew said they were going to do a live chat and wanted us to be their special guests.
"Sounds fun,"Kevin had said. I agreed, thinking it might get my mind off of Bex and _.
"Okay,"Jason said,"In 3,2,1." Mike, Andy, and Jay were sitting around a laptop in the living room. They sent out a tweet half an hour earlier and 2000 people were already there.
"Hey guys," they said,"We're Honor Society."
"Wait...hold on guys,"Jay said,"That sounded weak. Are we missing someone?" They looked around.
"Alex," they said at the same time.
"What?" he said coming out of the kitchen.
"Oh! you already started. My bad." It was hard for me and my brothers to hold in our laughs. What these guys were doing was pure comedy.
"What are you eating?" Mike asked.
"Lasagna."
"Where did you...that's why you kicked me out of the kitchen?" Andy exclaimed. Alex shrugged,"Secret recipe. I can't have you blabbing them to the world."
"Excuse us a minute," Jay said. He,Mike and Andy got up and went into the kitchen.
"well this is nice,"Alex chuckled,"I'm just sitting here alone while the world watches me stuff my face." The other 3 came back moments later with platefuls of lasagna.
"And we're back," Andy said.
"So you all know about our concert tomorrow," Mike said,"We were out hanging with some of you earlier and we had some special friends with us. We've got some guests that...should be here soon."
"Here they are now." We got up and sat around Honor Society.
"Hey guys," Kevin said.
"Whoa," I said,"Did you hear that?"
"What?" Jay asked.
"All the virtual screams." We laughed.
"Its the Jonas Brothers!" Alex exclaimed,"Hey, we've uh, got some lasagna in the kitchen."
"Sweet!" Kevin jumped up.
"Bring me back a plate!" I shouted.
"Hi to Emily, Rachael, Chelsi...um,"Andy said. Jay leaned into the screen.
"Karissa, Melodie and Carly," he said. Kevin came back with the lasagna.
"And everbody else,"Mike laughed,"Let's get some questions. JB you guys answer too."
"This is amazing," I said over a mouthful of lasagna. Everyone looked at me.
"What? I can't compliment the food?"
"Movin on," andy chuckled,"First question: What's your favorite dance?"
"I'm just gonna flat out say the Gayne Wetsky," alex said.
"Alex, why don't you demonstrate,"Mike joked. ALex stood up and did this ridiculous dance. The rest of the band chanted 'Gayne Wetsky' as he danced. That's pretty much what we did the whole time. They sang some songs; we sang some songs. We answered questions and joked a lot. Then...a question came for me.
"Joe, this one's for you," Mike said.
"hit me."
"Since you've broken up with Camilla---"
"Next question," I said slightly tensing. They laughed. i wasn't joking though.
"since the break up, have you set your eyes on anyone else?"
"Next question," i repeated.
"Come on, Joe," Nick pushed,"Your fan base wants to know."
"Uh...I plead the fifth.
"Joe, come on, its a yes or no question. And maybe counts as yes, "Kevin said.
"Fine..."I said giving in,"Yes I have but she doesn't really like me back...so its a lost cause." I glanced at the screen. The following massages popped up:
Who is it?
Is she famous?
How can she not like you?
She's an idiot.
"Whoa!Whoa!Whoa! Calm yourselves,"I said. I got up and sat closer to the screen.
"I'm not going to tell you who it is. But I can tell you she's not famous and I want to respect her privacy."
"If she was famous he still wouldn't tell you," Nick added.
"Thanks for that...And she's not an idiot. I'm the idiot...shut up,Nick," I quickly added. he chuckled.
"Am I in love with her?"I luaghed as I read the comment,"Please,I barely know the girl."
"There's always the soul mate principal,"Jay mumbled.
"You do talk about her...a lot," Kevin said. I turned toward them.
"What is this? Discuss Joe's love life day?And I do not!"
"Well...maybe not outloud..."
"You snoops! You went through my stuff again!" I turned back to the screen.
"Excuse me while I kill my brothers." I got up and went after them. I chased them all through the hotel room.
"Aw, Joe's in love,"Andy said.
"I am not!"
"Sorry, I'm just reading comments."
*Well this is jsut great. Now the whole world knows i'm crushing on someone. i'm not gonna get off easy on this one...This is more embarassing than when I fell on the AMAs.
"Sounds fun,"Kevin had said. I agreed, thinking it might get my mind off of Bex and _.
"Okay,"Jason said,"In 3,2,1." Mike, Andy, and Jay were sitting around a laptop in the living room. They sent out a tweet half an hour earlier and 2000 people were already there.
"Hey guys," they said,"We're Honor Society."
"Wait...hold on guys,"Jay said,"That sounded weak. Are we missing someone?" They looked around.
"Alex," they said at the same time.
"What?" he said coming out of the kitchen.
"Oh! you already started. My bad." It was hard for me and my brothers to hold in our laughs. What these guys were doing was pure comedy.
"What are you eating?" Mike asked.
"Lasagna."
"Where did you...that's why you kicked me out of the kitchen?" Andy exclaimed. Alex shrugged,"Secret recipe. I can't have you blabbing them to the world."
"Excuse us a minute," Jay said. He,Mike and Andy got up and went into the kitchen.
"well this is nice,"Alex chuckled,"I'm just sitting here alone while the world watches me stuff my face." The other 3 came back moments later with platefuls of lasagna.
"And we're back," Andy said.
"So you all know about our concert tomorrow," Mike said,"We were out hanging with some of you earlier and we had some special friends with us. We've got some guests that...should be here soon."
"Here they are now." We got up and sat around Honor Society.
"Hey guys," Kevin said.
"Whoa," I said,"Did you hear that?"
"What?" Jay asked.
"All the virtual screams." We laughed.
"Its the Jonas Brothers!" Alex exclaimed,"Hey, we've uh, got some lasagna in the kitchen."
"Sweet!" Kevin jumped up.
"Bring me back a plate!" I shouted.
"Hi to Emily, Rachael, Chelsi...um,"Andy said. Jay leaned into the screen.
"Karissa, Melodie and Carly," he said. Kevin came back with the lasagna.
"And everbody else,"Mike laughed,"Let's get some questions. JB you guys answer too."
"This is amazing," I said over a mouthful of lasagna. Everyone looked at me.
"What? I can't compliment the food?"
"Movin on," andy chuckled,"First question: What's your favorite dance?"
"I'm just gonna flat out say the Gayne Wetsky," alex said.
"Alex, why don't you demonstrate,"Mike joked. ALex stood up and did this ridiculous dance. The rest of the band chanted 'Gayne Wetsky' as he danced. That's pretty much what we did the whole time.

Pt. 9 Honor First Society Date?
"Hey Bex," I smiled,"Glad you could come."
"No problem," she smiled as she walked inside.
"Nick and Kevin should be down soon." I led her into the living room and we took a seat on the love seat as we waited for my brohters.
"Thanks again for inviting me,"Bex said.
"Sure," I said.
"But I want to get one thing straight,"she said. Okay?
"No offense to you,Joe," she continued,"But I'm a Nick fan." I rolled my eyes and stood up.
"Of course..." I mumbled,"More than half of the female population likes Nick." I walked over to the stairs.
"Kevin!Nick! Let's go!" I called up. Minutes later, they came down the stairs.
"I'm driving," Nick smiled.
"I call shotgun!" I said,"Ready Bex?" She stood up and nodded. She followed Nick outside to his Mustang.
"This is a lost cause," I mumbled. kevin heard me.
"What is?" I looked back at him.
"she's a Nick fan," I sighed. Kevin chuckled and walked outside. I shuffled behind him closing the door behind me.I sat up front with Nick and Kevin gets in the back with Bex.Is someone out to get me? Is there a reason my plans keep backfiring? We arrived at Honor Society's hotel. We got out of the car and went up to their room. Mike Bruno opened the door.
"Hey guys," he smiled,"Come on in." We walked inside ans I noticed Mike eyeing Bex.
"Oh, this is our friend Bex," I said,"Its cool that she's hanging with us right?"
"Sure, come on. I'll introduce you to the rest of the band." Andrew Lee and Jason Rosen were in the living room.
"Where's Alex?"Mike asked.
"In the kitchen,"Andrew answered,"He's making something top secret. He kicked his sous chef out, so I'm currently looking for new employment." Mike laughed,"I"ll get him." Moments later, Alexander Noyes came around the corner with Mike.
"Alex this is Bex.She's a friend of the JBs."
"Hey! nice to meet ya," he smiled. Nick sat down between Andrew and Jason.
"So what's the plan today?" Kevin asked.
"Same plan we had during the Full Moon Crazy Tour,"Jason said.
"Hang with the fans," Honor Society said together.
"Oh Joe,"Andrew said,"Here's your backstage passes. As per your request." He tossed them and I caught them.
"Um...Joe...can I talk to you?"Bex said quietly.
"Uh, yea. Sure.Let's go in the kitchen." We started for the kitchen.
"Don't look in the oven!" Alex yelled.
"Okay, I will," I joked.
"About the concert," she said once she was sure no one could hear.
"Yea?"
"I can't go, so _'s gonna go in my place," she said quickly.
"You can't...__'s gonna..." I said trying to understand what she was saying. My eyes got wide when I figured out what she was saying.
"What?! She's what?!" I yelled. I saw 6 heads appear around the corner.
"I can't go...so...___offered to go. Okay she didn't so much as offer as i did bribe her."
"You're joking, right? This is some sick, cruel joke!"
"Well, on the bright side, she doesn't know you're coming."
"What?! That makes it worse!" I turned away from Bex. This just kept getting worse and worse. I'm supposed to be making _ jealous. But I can't do that if she's the one I'm going with!
"Joe...are you mad?"
"No," said through clenched teeth,"I'm frustrated."
You could always take a walk,"Nick suggested. I looked up and glared at him.
"Not helping eavesdropper,"I said. The six of them came fully into view.
"Besides Nick,"Kevin said,"We're not at home. I won't have the same effect."
"What does that mean?" Alex asked.
"Well, when he and Camilla broke up he went on a walk and---"
"Shut up, Kevin!"
"Anyways,"Nick continued,"He met this gi--"
"Shut up! Shut up! Lalalalalalala!" I put my fingers in my ears and walked out of the kitchen. I was pretty sure Nick and Kevin were telling them everything, well...except for 'The Plan.' Ten minutes later, Bex came put of the kitchen.
"That explains why you don't want to go with her," she said.
"I don't want to talk about it," I pouted. Mike came in the living room.
"Hey, you ready We've got an hour to get to our first location."
We went with the guys of Honor Society to meet thier fans. They were shocked JB was with them. We hung with the fans at Pinkberry, the local mall and outside a museum. Later, we took Bex home and rejoined the guys at their hotel room. We had one more thing to do for the fans.
"No problem," she smiled as she walked inside.
"Nick and Kevin should be down soon." I led her into the living room and we took a seat on the love seat as we waited for my brohters.
"Thanks again for inviting me,"Bex said.

Pt.8 operation Friend Tag: Phase Two
_ and Bex had jsut walked in. Belle was blur, running past in search of Frankie.
"Basement," Nick yelled helpfully.
"Glad you made it," I smiled,"Our studio's this way." _ rolled her eyes and followed reluctantly. Kevin looked back at me. I looked away.
"So Bex, what do you want advice on?" I asked.
"Um...how about the keyboard?"
"Excellent! Something I'm good at."
"That's a first,"Nick mumbled. Bex giggled.
In the studio, Bex marveled at our collection of guitars. She walked around the room in awe.
"Wow! This is amazing.Ohmigosh! _ this one's signed by John Lennon!"
"Oh joy...can I go home now?"
"Actually,"I said turning towards her,"Maybe you should go. Your negativity isn't helping anything." _ looked at me with her eyebrows raised. She mumbled something inaudible and plopped down in a chair in the corner.
"On second thought, I"ll stay," she mumbled.Bex screamed.
"You know Bon Jovi?!" she squealed.
"That day was amazing," Kevin said.
"Reminisce later,"Nick said,"She came here for a private tutoring session. I suggest we get started."
"Ooh Mr.President is in business mode," Kevin joked,"Come on, Joe." For the next two hours we helped Bex perfect her key technique. Kevin even taught her how to play Turn Right. Kevin, Nick and _ went to get snacks. Bex stayed behind with me to put the instruments and stuff away.
"Thank you again," she said.
"Hm? Oh, no problem. It gives us something to do. Besides, you're pretty cool, so its all good." She blushed. I put the last sheet of music in a manilla folder. I sat down on a stool and watched Bex.
"Hey Jo---oh!" she turned around and saw me staring at her.
"Um...do you...need something?" she said blushing.
"I was just wondering...would you like to go out sometime?" Bex looked at me with wide green eyes.
"Say wha?!"
"My friends from the band Honor Society are in town.If you want to go, I can easily get us tickets," I smile.
"I'd be crazy to pass up this oppurtunity. Absolutely yes!"
"Great! The concert's in two days, but we're hanging out with them tomorrow.You can come too...if you want."
"sure! Can _ come?"
"I don't think that's a good idea,"I said quietly,"She doesn't seem to like me much and maybe I should just put her out of her misery."
"Are you crazy?! She---"
"Hey, what are you two talking about?" _ said walking in. She what?! SHE WHAT?!! I looked down. Bex looked over at me.
"Nothing,"Bex said,"Nothing you'd be interested in."
"Try me."
"We were talking about our favorite bands. And he was telling me about the people he's met and---"
"Stop.I've lost interest.anyway, I"ve gotta take Belle home. You ready?"
"Yea.See you tomorrow, Joe."
"tomo...what?" _ glared at Bex then she glared at me.
"Nothing!" Bex said quickly,"Let's go."
"Fine..."she said sadly. Then she composed herself and followed Bex out. All the while throwing daggers with her eyes and the back of Bex's head. I smiled to myself. She likes me She came back into the room and marched up to me.
"I don't know what you're doing,"_ said,"But you better stop whatever you're doing. Because its not gonna work." I tilted my head to the side, much like a confused dog. _'s cheeks slightly went pink.
"What won't work?" I asked.
"I...I don't...know," she turned abruptly and left.
"Bye _,"I heard Kevin say. Then I heard the front door slam.
"Well...we've discovered she can feel jealousy," Nick said as he and Kevin came back in the room.
"I can't believe its actually working,Joe,"kevin said.
"I told you it would. My ideas are great!"
"your ideas are pointless," Nick chuckled.
"Basement," Nick yelled helpfully.
"Glad you made it," I smiled,"Our studio's this way." _ rolled her eyes and followed reluctantly. Kevin looked back at me. I looked away.
