HOLY CRAP ON A STICK. I finally updated something! :O
Well, it's about time. At least you know I'm trying, right? :(

They took their usual places at the lunch table, Joe sending Macy a flirty look every so often. "Can you please stop with the face?" Kevin groaned.

"What face?" Joe asked, smirking. Macy giggled.

"Switch places with me." Nick rolled his eyes, standing. Joe grinned, doing the same and plopping down next to Macy. He pulled her chair closer to his, wiggling his eyebrows. She laughed, but stopped as Stella came back over, Peter Jensen attached at the hip.

"We have a date Saturday." She beamed, sitting. Peter grabbed a chair from a nearby table and sat beside her.

"Awesome." Joe smiled. "Hey, why don't we double date?"

"That sounds fun." Macy said, watching Stella's fists clench as she glared at Joe.

"Yeah, sounds cool." Peter agreed. "What do you think, babe?" Macy caught the small scoff Joe made and bit her lip, hiding the smile.

"Yeah. Totally fun." She said, jaw clenched.

"Baby?" Joe turned, taking Macy's hands. She giggled slightly.

"Yes?" He leaned in, lips brushing against her ear. He whispered; (but she was pretty sure he wanted Stella to hear what he had to say)

"Can we go somewhere....a little more private?" He kissed her jawline. She chewed on her lip, sending a glance in Stella's direction. She was practically on fire.

"Uh-huh." She said weakly. They were standing, his arm around her, in the blink of an eye. Joe winked.

"Catch you guys later." He turned, walking to the closest door, a quick pace in his steps. Macy glanced behind them, the boys were talking, but Stella was watching them go.

"Joe?" She mumbled, following him up the staircase to where ever he was taking them.

"Yeah?" He peeked back at her.

"I feel bad." He stopped, causing her to as well. "Sh-She's my best friend. And this is really hurting her."

"She knows how I feel. And yet, she brings a new guy to the table, what, every week? She's hurting me." He frowned. She stared up at him.

"I didn't know she knew. She told me...she thought you weren't interested." He rolled his eyes.

"I'm beginning to think our little Stella isn't as innocent as she seems to be." He glared at the wall opposite them, leaning on the one behind him.

"You...what? Are you calling her a wh-"

"No." He snapped quickly. "Just a little less then pure, is all." He shrugged. "But, what can you do?" Macy frowned, crossing her arms. He cocked an eyebrow. "What?"

"She tells me way more then she tells you, y'know. I know more about her. Not pure? Ha. What about that kiss before? That wasn't all too innocent either, Joe." Macy glared. She could pretend date her best friends crush, oh sure, but she wouldn't just stand by and listen to him talk about her that way. Basically calling her a whore and what not. Nuh-uh.

"That was fake. It didn't mean anything." She flinched, dropping her arms. "This is all fake until I get Stella. You know that, Macy. Don't you?" He took a step closer. She nodded.

"Of course, I know that." She shook her head, looking to the ground.

"Macy-"

"I know, okay? I know." She turned, heading up the last case of steps. "See you after school." Joe sighed, turning around and going back down stairs. Great. Now they both hated him.

"Macy." A voice sang as a head of blond hair bounced next to her. "So, I was thinking about the double date-"

"I dunno, Stella." Macy interrupted.

"Huh? Aw, why not? It would of been so much fun!" She smiled. Wow. She really is a good actress.

"Me and Joe...We sorta got into a fight."

"You guys didn't break up, did you?" Stella said, frowning, but Macy could see the slight glisten of excitement in her eyes.

"No." She sighed. "I don't think so."

"Aw, Mace." Stella said, patting her shoulder. "It'll be okay. Joe's just thickheaded. What did you fight about?" You.

"Oh, uh...." She mentally smirked. "He went too far and I told him to stop but-" Stella gasped, cutting her off.

"Are you serious? Oh my God." Stella glanced down the hall, glaring at most likely Joe himself. "I'm glad Peter isn't like that. Doesn't force anything."

"You two just got together." Macy said, confused. Stella grinned.

"I know." She winked. "Come on, let's go. The mall's waiting." She skipped off. Macy frowned. Maybe, just maybe, Joe was right.

"Oh, Peter, look! Let's take pictures!" Stella squealed, pulling him over to the photo booths. Joe sighed, stuffing his hands in his pockets. Macy tapped his arm. He glanced at her. She offered a smile, nodding to the other unoccupied booth. His eyes softened as he nodded, following her.

"How many?" Macy asked, watching him put the money in and pull the curtain closed.

"Four." He answered. She pressed the button. He kissed her cheek, making her smile as the first one went off. He flashed a funny face at the camera, nudging her to do the same. She rolled her eyes, pulling her cheeks away from each other and smiling big. Joe laughed, messing up the picture. She joined him, watching the third one go off. So, it was a sweet one, one with them as blurs, and one of them laughing. "One left." Joe paused, looking over at her.

"What?" He smirked, leaning in. "Joe, I don't think-" He captured her lips. She felt him smile as she returned it. She heard the noise of the last picture being taken. She pulled away as they printed out and fell in her lap. "I like the first one." She smiled.

"I like the last one." He grinned. She rolled her eyes. They climbed out, Joe grabbing her hand and lacing their fingers.

"About time." Kevin said, narrowing his eyes. "Can I see?" He snatched the photos before they could answer. Stella peeked over his shoulder.

"Aw! The first one is adorable!" She smiled, scanning the rest. "Oh, we did a kissing one, too." She handed Macy hers. Joe scowled, looking them over. Macy pecked his cheek. His head titled, his face tinting pink. "He's blushing!" Stella announced, pointing a taunting finger at him.

"Shut up, Stella."

"You shut up, Joseph." She stuck her tongue out, and Macy laughed as he did the same.

This might actually work after all.

I totally almost posted this as a new story.
EPIC FAIL. XD

Review, cause I'm not too sure about this chapter. :P
