"God! Do you ever shut the fuck up, Pearson?""Fuck you, Palmer.""You probably wish you could!"Jason's nose crinkled distastefully. His glare on Nicole could burn holes through her flesh—nothing about their bickering remotely new. "Are you fucking stupid? I'd want anyone or anything but you."At his comment, Nicole's lip curled almost smugly. She quirked an eyebrow. "Nobody is saying anything about wanting me—but you, Jason." "Oh, for the love of—"Parker, a friend of Jason's, appeared. He grabbed the boy by his arm and yanked him away from Nicole. "Would you guys cut it the fuck out!" Shoving Jason back, he glanced between the pair, almost appearing disappointed. "Seriously. Calm down, you're making a scene." Nicole rolled her eyes as she slunk back in her chair, tossing Jason a scowl before looking at Parker. "How about—you tell your asshole of a friend to stay the fuck away from me." The anger Jason typically provoked within Nicole could nearly make her see red, blood turning l...

Rushing up the stairs as soon as she arrived home from school, she was in a hurry, to say the least. Forgotten it was Monday. She hadn't made it out the door again when her older brother stopped her.Drew leaned against the wall, a questioning look on his face as he watched his sister scramble to get her shoes on. "Headed out?" Nicole blinked, slowly lifting her gazer to look at him. "Yes." She threw up a silent prayer that he wouldn't ask any more questions. Not right now. She didn't have time. She was late as is. "Where?" Nicole scoffed. "Come on, big brother. No need to worry about ole' me." Drew rolled his eyes as he pushed off the wall. "Right on. Don't be home too late, yeah?" "Yes, sir." With a mocking salute, she was out the door. —Leaning back in the wheeled chair, Jason threw a basketball in the air before catching it, again and again. "Why is it—that she must be the topic of our every conversation?" He sat in Parker's room, along with the rest of his friends. "Dude

Nicole had first-period Algebra with Jason, of course. That wasn't her only run-in time with Jason and his little group. She had third period English, World History with Logan later, and her last period of the day, PE, with Parker. She only had two periods of the day where she could avoid Jason and his friends entirely. It was better than nothing, but right now Nicole was wishing she had much more time without them to spare. If Seth knew, how long would it be until his friends found out? For all she knew, the more she messed with Jason, the more reason Seth had to spill her secret. She felt sick to her stomach all morning, after her run-in with Seth. Quieter than normal, enough for people to notice. Jason smirked when he stopped in front of Nicole's desk, having come to first period even later than she did. "How's my palm tree standing today? Dandy?" Nicole ignored him, keeping her head in her hands. "Come on, Nicole. You're being no fun," he feigned a frown. "This sparring does

The remainder of the school day passed extra slowly for Nicole. Her mind couldn't stop spiralling for even a moment. By the time she trudged her way out the school doors, she was ready to crash. The warmth of her bed was a seducing thought—and she could not wait to finally be home, be at peace, and forget about all this day had to offer. Little was she expecting Seth Lee to be propped against the side of her car, sitting in wait. "What do you—" "My place at six." He didn't offer another word before walking away, going to his own car. Nicole stared at the back of his head with her mouth hanging open. Audacity. He didn't leave any room for her to protest. When Seth got to his car where his other friends stood, Jason looked at him. "What was that about?" He eyed him curiously, unnerved by Seth and Nicole's newfound—acquaintanceship, or whatever it was. "Nothing." He waved off his friends as he got into his car. "See you lads tomorrow." He also didn't leave his friends much room t

Nicole dreaded just walking into school the next day, knowing it was her first day as Seth's very own little "minion", to say the least. She had no idea what could be waiting for her, what he could possibly tell her to do. She had spent the entire night reading his ridiculous contract—which as a result, took away many hours of sleep that were now weighing on her. To say she was cranky this morning, would be a severe understatement. "What's going on?" Serena asked, approaching Nicole's locker. "I'm tired." "No shit—I'm saying what's new." Serena raised her eyebrows impatiently, waiting for Nicole to elaborate on anything. "I feel like we've hardly spoken—and what's with you and Seth Lee all of a sudden being pals? I saw you guys leaving the cafeteria at lunch yesterday. What was that—" "It's none of your God damned business, Serena!" Nicole snapped, abruptly turning to face the blonde. She was far too tired to hear all these questions this early in the morning, not to mention heari

Twirling her pencil between her fingers, Nicole's head rested in the palm of her hand as she read over her notes in third period. She was feeling much calmer—all until she felt a nagging presence shadowing over her. She lifted her head, sighing softly when she locked eyes with Seth. Of course, smirking down at her. "Darling." "Don't call me that." "Don't tell me what I can and can't call you, darling." He lifted an eyebrow, challengingly. "God, just—shut up." She dropped her head back in her palm and figured it be best to ignore his presence. Leave me be, for the love of God. Seth sucked in a sharp breath, dramatizing. "Don't tell me to shut up." "I can do whatever—" Nicole cut herself off, wincing faintly. She actually could not do whatever she pleased. She had to do what he pleased. "Ah, she's learning quickly." Nicole tossed a flat look. "Excuse me?" "Our little agreeme—" "Ah—" Nicole held up her finger. "Page four, second article. You cannot bring up the topic whenever

Nicole leaned against her locker at the end of the day, entirely zoned out. She blankly watched the students filled in the hallway; loud chatter, lockers slamming, bustling feet scurrying out of the place. It was like she could see a bunch of mouths moving but not a sound was making its way through her ears. She was tired. Mentally. A hand on her shoulder jerked her back into reality as she spun abruptly. "What do you want?" Her eyebrows knitted together when she looked at Parker, the last person she expected to approach her. "I just—uh—saw you here and thought I'd say hey." The boy rubbed the side of his neck, evidently unsure of himself. He wasn't quite sure what he was doing here. Nicole's eyes narrowed; suddenly everything seemed suspicious, with this truce she had going on with Seth. She could never be too sure what any of them whatever. "Right. Of course. That makes absolute sense," she muttered, sarcasm between her words. Parker slightly leaned against the neighbouring loc

"How'd the tutoring go?""We made progress," Nicole shrugged. She was not in the mood to talk about Jason or any of his friends."That's good," Chase nodded, giving her a small smile.Nicole and Chase leaned against some lockers, waiting for the warning bell to ring so they could head to class."Hey Chase!" A voice called out. Chase and Nicole both glanced over to see a guy jogging over to them before he greeted Chase. "Are you coming out with the team tonight?""Uh, I was actually going t-"Chase was cut off by the guy. "You can bring your girlfriend along, I'm pretty sure some of the other guys are bringing their girls too." He was beaming, smiling and in an ecstatic mood.Nicole's cheeks heated up at the comment, causing her to look down at her feet to avoid both their gazes.Chase awkwardly coughed, blushing himself. "She's not my girlfriend, Zylen... but I'll let you know later. I should be getting to first period soon."Zylen nodded, sending Chase a grin. "Okay man, and it was n

"- And then, he basically started crying!" Zylen chuckled, as he told the group of friends a story about when they pranked some kid in one of his classes."Guys are always so harsh," Celia shook her head as she took a sip of her Coca-cola."Girls are pretty confusing too," Chase piped in."Are not!" Nicole retorted."Are too!" Asher smirked."How?" Nicole raised an eyebrow."Well, why is it necessary for you guys to always wear makeup?" Asher asked."I don't," Nicole shrugged."You sure need it... Though it probably won't help," Emma muttered, taking a sip of her salad.Nicole had gotten a ride with Chase after school as all of them met up at the pizza shop, basically the plan that Chase had mentioned to Nicole earlier in the morning. Nicole had started to like his friends and they all liked Nicole too, minus Emma who had a problem with her for some reason which Nicole was unaware and confused about but she tried not to let it get to her head otherwise she would think too deep about i

"How do you figure out if someone's the right person?""Uh, what?"Nicole spun around to see none other than Jason. She slowly shook her head, sighing. "I thought you were someone else," she told him, which was true. Celia had texted her earlier this morning telling her she would meet her by her locker later at school today so she assumed it was Celia behind her, not Jason.Parker's words repeated in her mind all night after he had left the park and the more she thought about it, the more confused she got. Not only about what he said, but about everything, about how he may have meant it, how she should take it, how she feels."Well, okay," Jason shrugged, little confused still about what Nicole had just said but he decided that it was probably something stupid as he shrugged it off though he knew it would be stuck at the back of his mind. "Am I tutoring you again?" He asked."Why are you asking me?""Because ... You're the one that needs to be tutored.." He muttered, confused."I know
