"Those guys are...""Stupid?" Nicole offered, finishing Asher's thoughts for him as he had started to trail off, not being able to find the right word.Asher chuckled. "I'd go for strange." He glanced at her and grinned softly."How so?" she quirked an eyebrow at which Asher shrugged at."I don't know," he tilted his head in thought. "I mean, they seem nice but then you all argue so much. At the same time, they care about you. It's confusing.""Care about me?" Nicole shook her head, scoffing. She was surprised he thought that and found it a little funny. "Please, that's the last thing they'd do.""No, I'm pretty sure they do." Asher nodded."And why would you say that?" She inquired, narrowing her eyes lightly. She didn't understand what would make him think that because she didn't buy it for a second."I don't know," he shrugged once again. "I can tell they do... whether they deny it or not. It's not exactly hard to see.""How?""Well, for starters, when none of us could find you at

"Hey, Nicole!" Celia greeted as she leaned against the locker beside Nicole's while Nicole got her things out."Hey Lia," Nicole smiled."I heard about your little Elvis performance on Friday night," Celia smirked. "Oh, and about your beer pong skills."Nicole cringed. "That wasn't me. It was drunken me."Celia chuckled."Oh, Asher told me about how Emma pushed you into the pool and then denied it too, man she's so low." Celia sighed."Yeah, but it's whatever," Nicole shrugged as she looked down to see that she was wearing Asher's sweatshirt causing her cheeks to tinge pink.Celia raised an eyebrow as she noticed Nicole blushing and then the sweatshirt. "Is that- oh my god!" She squealed."What?" Nicole mustered."That's Asher's!" She grinned as she pointed to the sweatshirt.Nicole groaned as she slid the sweatshirt off leaving her in her tight black v-neck she word underneath. "I was only wearing it so I could return it to him," she rolled her eyes.Celia scoffed. "Yet you couldn't

"Hey Asher!" Nicole called out as she saw him walking down the hall.Asher turned around as he saw Nicole was talking to him, giving her a smile as he made his way over to her by her locker."What's up?""Uh, I have your sweatshirt," she told him awkwardly, shifting on her feet.Asher chuckled. "You can keep it, no worries. I gotta find coach real quick but I'll see you at lunch," he told her, before quickly waving and jogging off to the gym. Nicole sighed and then shrugged before making her way to the gym herself.Just as she had reached the gym, Asher walked out."Hey, what are you doing here?" He asked, raising an eyebrow in confusion."Thought I'd just walk to the caf with you," she shrugged. Asher chuckled, nodding as the two made their way to the cafeteria."Woah, okay. What are they doing here?" Nicole asked in disbelief as she made her way to the table where she had sat with Chase and his friends."Hey, Jay, where did my chair go?""We don't want you to sit with us," Jason spa

Nicole spun around to the familiar voice to see Serena running over to her. She sighed as she stopped, waiting as he old friend jogged over to her. She had left the cafeteria and at the moment didn't really want to talk to anyone but right now, she couldn't just walk about from Serena - well she could, but knowing she should listen to what she has to say, she didn't."What?""I'm sorry."Nicole quirked an eyebrow.Serena sighed as she continued, "Im sorry I haven't been a good friend lately and I shouldn't have done what I did. I should have respected that you don't have to tell me everything but I didn't do that and you have all rights to be mad at me.. But.. I miss you."Nicole sighed as she slowly nodded her head. "It's okay, I may have over reacted a bit; I was just cranky."A wide smile grew on Serena's face as she pulled her friend in a big hug, squealing as Nicole scrunched her noes before relaxing and hugging back."What do you say, Starbucks after school?" Serena asked hopefu

Nicole laughed out loud, her head falling back as she hiccuped from laughing so much, not even caring that she was getting strange looks from people around her."See! I told you that story would make you laugh!" Serena exclaimed as she had told Nicole a story about her uncle.Nicole nodded, starting to calm down as she took a sip of her expresso that was placed on the table in front of her as the two girls sat in a local coffee shop."So," Serena cleared her throat. "What's going on between you and all those guys?"Nicole slowly calmed her breathing from all the laughing as she leaned back in her chair."Nothing," she shrugged. "And I don't exactly what to talk about it. Ditching school was part of my way into avoiding them and now that I have achieved that, I prefer not to talk about them." She told her, calmly.Serena slowly nodded. "I understand.. But sometimes it helps to let it all out."Nicole nodded. "Yeah, but I just don't want to talk about it,"Serena nodded, letting the sub

"Where even are we going?""Adventure first, explanations take a dreadful about of time.""What?" Nicole sputtered, not understanding Seth's oddly happy mood and sudden urge to go on an adventure."Life's a blank canvas and you need to throw all the paint on it, as you can." He shrugged, glancing at Nicole or a split second before looking at the road.Nicole blinked."Are you high?"Seth burst out laughing. "No!" He shook his head, a small grin playing on his lips. "What I mean is, there's no harm in taking an adventure,""Well, unless the dragon decides to burn your head off,""Dragon?" Seth asked, amused."It isn't an adventure worth telling if there aren't any dragons." Nicole told him."Makes sense," he shrugged."So where are we headed?" She asked once again, starting to grow anxious and impatient as she thought about all the places they could possibly be heading to."Patience,"Nicole groaned, leaning her head against the window as she did as he said ; she was patient.❀A short

The ride slowly started spinning faster and faster and faster. You couldn't even tell what was going on because of the speed of the ride spinning.Nicole shut her eyes tightly as she clenched her jaw and clenched her fists onto the straps of the ride; she could feel her heart pounding like a hammer in her chest.Her head spun unexplainably as she felt bile in her throat making her feel like throwing up which she probably would do considering all the cotton candy she had eaten earlier.The ride spun around and around faster then Nicole could even blink or comprehend.Nicole clutched onto the strap so hard, her knuckles started turning white. It was when she swore she heard a small noise by her ear, aside from the yelling and screaming coming from the other passengers of the ride around her, that her eyes shot open as she slowly blinked.She couldn't comprehend what has happening but before she knew it, the ride spun faster then it already was but before Nicole could mentally freak out

"What the hell happened?""What were you guys dong?""Dude, what the hell?"Nicole slowly opened her eyes to a pounding headache and multiple familiar voices. The voices came to a stop as her eyelids slowly propped open as her vision set to the faces of the 4 boys known as Parker, Logan, Seth and Jason."You're awake,""Are you okay?""What happened?"The boys all spoke at once causing Nicole's head to spin more then it already was. She slowly sat up in the bed she was laying in, narrowing her eyes."Shut up." She muttered, grabbing her phone she had seen on the bedside table and unlocking it to see that it was only 1am and multiple texts.Drew: Where the hell are you??Mom: WHERE ARE YOU?Mom: No note or anything..Mom: You are going to be groundedMom: Nicole, you better not be doing something stupid.Mom: Call me ASAP!!Drew: mum is freakingDrew: Where u at ??Drew: better not be with any guys little sis!! ;)Nicole groaned as she placed her phone down in her lap and looked up to

Just grab a bunch and try them on, then I'll help you pick which one looks best!" Celia squealed as she pulled Nicole into a store so the two of them could find dresses.Nicole groaned as she started looking through the racks. "I have dresses at home!" She called out."Pshh," Celia shrugged. "Theres always room for one more,""By the time I graduate, not only will I have a closet full of dresses, but I'll also be broke considering all the dances we have," Nicole rolled her eyes as she swung a few dresses over her arm when she found some she thought she could try on."Whatever," Celia mumbled. "At least we have the memories!""Of what?" Nicole scoffed."The shopping and the dance itself!" Celia huffed, giving Nicole a flat look.For about half an hour, they spent in just one store, looking through the racks for different dresses. Finally when they had found a few they thought would work, the two girls made there way overt the dressing rooms as the took turns changing and showing one ot

"Seth?" Nicole exhaled.Seth looked up from his phone. He was leaning against a car as Nicole stood in front of him with furrowed eyebrows and a confused expression."Hey!"The two of them turned and looked at who was calling out when they saw a car pull up in front of them. It wasn't any car, it was Charlie's car that her and Nicole had come in."What the hell?" Nicole mumbled as the window rolled down and Charlie smiled at the two.Just as Nicole was about tot ask what was going on, another head stuck out the window."Logan?" Seth muttered. "What the hell are you doing?""I think you two have some talking to do," He replied smugly."And some bills to pay," Charlie smirked before the two, standing there dumbfounded, watched the car zoom out of the parking lot.Nicole awkwardly turned back to Seth, him looking at the road the car has disappeared onto, before she awkwardly looked down, not sure what to do in this situation.The two of them stood in awkward silence for a while before Se

Nicole's eyes slowly opened, her head throbbing with pain and mouth feeling so dry that she could barley open it. Confusion was all that she felt.She blinked her eyes a few times before they finally adjusted to the lighting. She looked around, confused and scared. Anxiety quickly filled her whole body and she was ready to panic. She didn't know where she was, what was going on, or who she could call for help.Her mind was blank. She didn't even have a single thought to form because she was at utter loss. she couldn't remember anything properly which only caused her anxiousness to increase.She felt like she was in a dream. All she wanted to do was be able to fall back asleep and wake up, back to normal with her brother and cousin cooking breakfast before she had to head to school while her mom got ready to leave for work.She felt so misplaced and uneasy. Confused and as if her body was slowly floating away and there was no way she'd be able to start swimming because she couldn't qui

3 years later (They'd all be 26 now)"Nicole Palmer, I vow to keep you the happiest girl on earth. I promise to love you and care for you with all of my heart until I breathe my last breath. I promise to hold you when you need me to, lend you a shoulder to cry on, buy you all the ice cream in the world and maybe even help do the laundry once in a while.. In all, I love with every little thing in my body and I promise to love you forever and always because you deserve the world. I will cherish you, spoil you, love you, care for you, hold you, cry with you, laugh with you and stand by you until the day I die.""You may now kiss your bride."With that, Seth leaned in and passionately kissed Nicole as she wrapped her arms around his neck, smiling through the kiss as tears of happiness rolled down her tears.Tears and laughs and cheer and smiles were spread through the crowd as everyone starting clapping and cheering for the newly wedded couple.❀"My baby girl is all grown up," Drew sighe

Nicole stood there feeling extremely uneasy and shocked as the silence created such tension in the atmosphere. She didn't know what to do but the next thing she knew was that her feet were driving her out. She ran off the stage and down the dark hall, out the back door.She leaned against a wall, closing her eyes as she felt her heart pounding against her chest frantically."Nicole," the sound of the door opening caused Nicole to slowly open her eyes and turn so she was face to face with Jason. Following behind him came Logan and Parker. Nicole slowly blinked, not really being able to comprehend much since she was still in so much shock."Nicole, just breathe." Logan said slowly as he took a few steps closer to her.Nicole licked her lips, gulping. She had no idea what to say. She was definitely not ready to face everybody right now so obviously she didn't have a clue what she was suppose to see. You don't just walk up to people and act like you haven't been dead for six years."Nicol

"Hey, do you need anything?" Nicole asked as she walked into Asher's office and shut the door behind her.Asher sighed, "I hate to ask you to do this but could you drop these files off in Seth's office? I have a meeting in about two and a half minutes and I still don't know where half of my files are," he groaned as he rummaged through his desk, barely looking at Nicole as he ransacked his desk to find his files.Nicole let out a breath before walking over and opening one of the drawers in his filing cabinet, "I set a reminder on your laptop to remind you an hour earlier- which it did because I heard it when I walked by. Here are the rest of the things you need for the final meeting to ensure everything with the Steven's deal today will go smoothly," Nicole said as she handed him some files. "I may still not know the difference between current assets, debt and liabilities but I am organized. Now, you have less than two minutes to get to the meeting room so I'd scramble if I were you."
