"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
Nicole slowly swallowed the lump in her throat as her eyes locked with Seth's. His eyes held a look of guilt and apprehension as he slowly walked into his bedroom. He silently made his way to the bed and handed Nicole a pill - Advil, and a glass of water. He moved his gaze to look on the wall that held a small dent now.Nicole looked up to where Seth was looking before she looked at him. Seth was still staring at the wall, lost in thought. Nicole glanced down to the glass of water he was holding out for her when she noticed the patch of blue and purple that was forming a bruise on his knuckles.Seth glanced away when he saw Nicole was looking at the bruise on his knuckles, before awkwardly clearing his throat and taking a step back, away from her.Nicole came out of her trance and grabbed the glass of water, taking the Advil and drowning down the water before placing the glass on the bedside table.Seth awkwardly stood there, looking at Nicole, unsure of what to say or do."You can si
