[Nick Jonas] Underdog [03] She's Always Heard

“Wow, how’d that happen?” An old family friend asked me. At the moment, I was grocery shopping, and I had just happened to run into Jen like this.
“What? Oh, this?” I said, lifting my arm, which was covered in a hard shell. “I tripped and landed on my arm, and it broke. I’m just clumsy.” My goal was to upset as little as possible about Tyler, who was now behind bars for attempted sexual assault, and aggravated assault.
“Oh, I’m sorry. How long ago was that?” She asked, pushing her graying brown hair over her shoulder. The wrinkles on her face were kind.
“A month and a half. I get it off tomorrow, actually.” I smiled. Finally seeing my arm unbruised excited me.
“Well, I really must be going, but I wish you good luck, dear.” She hugged me in a friendly and caring way, and I went back to my shopping.
Later that night, Melina came over. We were in the process of making microwave popcorn so we could get ready to watch “The Happening” for the billionth time, when Meli spoke.
“Kay?”
“Hmm?” I asked, not taking my eyes off of the active microwave.
“You like the Jonas Brothers, right?” She turned to me, and I turned to look at her.
“You know I do, why in the world are you asking?” I laughed, and removed the popcorn from the microwave, grabbing at the specified corners, and being careful not to burn myself. I shook the bag up and down, so as to spread the butter around.
“Well…I know. Stupid question, right?” She smiled, and walked towards the living room, where we had both set up a pile of pillows and blankets, in front of the fireplace and television.
“Yeah!” I replied, pouring the corns into a bowl, and walking with her into the living room.
And with that, she dropped it.
We watched The Happening, clinging to each other the entire time, when Meli spoke again.
“I have some tickets to this concert…”
I completely forgot the movie as soon as she said that. I changed my position so I was ramrod straight, and stared at her intently, all the while smiling.
“And I’d take you…” She continued.
I smiled wider, if that were even possible. My eyes became the size of golf balls, and I hoped for the best.
“And they’re to your favourite band….”
I looked at her, nodded, and all of the sudden screamed as loud as I possibly could. I didn’t have to worry about anyone freaking, either, because I owned the entire flat.
“OHMYJONASYOUGOTMEJONASBROTHERSTICKETS!” I screamed just as loud.
Meli and I stood up, grabbed each others hands, and screamed while jumping up and down.
“We’re gonna see the Jonas Brothers! We’re gonna see the Jonas Brothers!” We chanted together. I screamed one last time, but never stopped smiling…before I stopped.
“Oh My Jonas!” I screamed in aggrivation and frustration, so angry I could hardly stand it. I grabbed my head in confusion and made a face. “What in the world am I gonna wear?!”
Meli looked at me, and we both thought the same thing.
“SHOPPING!” We screamed.
