"Hey Elise. What did he say?" She looked at me.

"Oh, nothing." Haha. Yeah right. You expect me to believe that? I thought to myself.

Then I smiled. I know nothing I told her I was going to change and headed upstairs.

I was just about to go out of my room again, after I was changed, when the phone rang. I looked at the caller I.D. I sat down on my bed and smiled. It was Lance.

"Hi Lancey," I said into the phone after I answered it.

"Hey Jen. How did it go?"

"Great!"

"Did your little plan work?"

"Mmm hmm!"

"Reallysowhat's up?"

"I don't know. Elise wouldn't tell me." I had told Lance about my plan to hook JC and her up.

He said he wouldn't help me because it was their lives, but he wanted me to tell him what happened.

"OhohJC's homelet me ask him."

"OK."

"JC! How was lunch with Jen?" Lance said to his friend.

"Fine," I heard him say.

"Yeahdetails?"

"It was fine."

"Talkative today, aren't we?" I didn't hear JC say anything else. "Wow. We got a lot of him." I smiled. "So, are Mallory and Elise leaving when we go on tour in a few weeks?"

"Yeah, I guess."

"Mmm. Are you busy tonight?"

"Not really, why?"

"It's really lonely here. Do you want to go out and do something?"

"Sure."

"OK, about 7:00?"

"Sounds good."

"OK great!"

"Well, I gotta go now. See ya later!"

"Kay. Bye Lancey!" I waited for him to hang up the phone before I did. It was a crazy superstition.

I got ready for my 'date' with Lance. By that time, Mallory was back home from the mall. I told her that I was leaving in a few minutes. I couldn't find Elise, so I just went back upstairs to get my purse. I heard the doorbell and ran downstairs, opening the door.

"JC?"

"Hi. Is Elise here?"

"Yeah. Hold on. ELISE!" She came running down the stairs.

She had changed into her favorite outfit and left her hair down. Everyone told her it looked really nice that way, but she only kept it down for special occasions. She grabbed JC's hand and dragged him out the door. She was avoiding me. I stood there with a questioning look on my face.

"Bye Jen, bye Mal, I'll be back in a few hours." I saw Elise and JC get into JC's car and drive off.

I closed the door and waited for Lance to arrive.
