"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
Secrets are hard to keep. Not always because they can be full of rumours and gossip or because you simply want to share some new details about someone or something to other people; but in this, because you just need some advice. You need to share something thats bothering you because you genuinely need advice and you cant always get what you want without price..In this case, the cost was a little secret."You can't tell a soul.""I won't.""Swear?""I swear on my life."Seth sighed as he rested his head in the palm of his hand which was propped up on his elbow. "Nicole and I made a.. sort of a deal. I found something out and the only way I said I would keep it hidden, since thats what she needed me to do, was that she would've to do as I say.""Anything?""Mainly," Seth shrugged. "Some terms added.""For how long?""Could be... quite awhile but it depends," Seth answered."So what exactly are you telling me?""Well, I made her accept Jason's proposal to the dance..." He trailed off,
"Jason Pearson." Jason stopped in his tracks as he was walking to his locker just to turn around and see the last person he wanted to see; Nicole. Nicole saw his slightly bruised cheek. It wasn't much, just a small tinge of blue and purple. She slightly snickered at her handy work. Sure it was probably a bitch move and now more rude of her to react like that, but she felt like he deserved it - after all, he was always an ass to her too. It was years of pent up anger and rage that finally came out. "If you want to give me a bruise on my other cheek, I'll start off by telling you that I would appreciate my other one to be left alone, at the least." He muttered, his face holding a glum expression. He was annoyed and didn't want to talk to her but he wondered what she wanted from him now considering she already said no and slapped him. What more could she want? Jason was also annoyed at his friends. They had convinced him to ask her and if it weren't for their stupid idea, he wouldn't
Nicole had woken up to see herself in Seth's room - by herself.She opened the note to see that it read, :Angel,I know for one thing, that you must not want to talk to meso I decided to leave you alone. Don't worry, I know you wouldn't want to see my faceright now, so I left. Your car is outside, you can leave when you'd like, unless you really feel likecalling me up or anything because I do want to talk to you. I'm sorry for ruining todays plans.I want to apologize for everything else too, I am sorry for it all.Forgive me if you can.Yours and yours only and truly,-Seth xxit was now Monday. After she read the note she left his house. She went home and didn't speak to Seth or anyone else for the rest of the weekend. She spent the whole weekend playing Mario Kart with her brother."Hey," Serena smiled as she walked up to Nicole. "Have you gotten a dress or are we going shopping together? Like we always do."Nicole frowned sheepishly. "I actually already went dress shopping wit
"Nicole, you have to speak to us.""Why?" She turned around, her voice coming out weak as she faced Asher. Her voice cracked and overall she looked drained out and exhausted, obviously not in the mood to interact with anyone."Come on, you honestly can't think all the things you said yesterday are true," He frowned. Asher genuinely was upset that she thought that way. He hated seeing her like this.Just as she was about to turn around, Asher grabbed her arm making sure she stayed facing him."What do you want Asher?" She exhaled, inpatient and wanting to leave."I want you to talk to me." He said firmly, his eyes soft as they scanned her face and tried to uncover what she was thinking."I am.""You know what I mean," He sighed."No, no I don't." She mumbled dryly."Nicole, please just talk to us. We all are fine and that's how it should be,""That's how it is,""No, it shouldn't be like this," He muttered."Asher, I need to get to class."With that, Nicole had shrugged her arm away fr
"Nicole! Sit still, will you?" Charlie tugged at her hair as she wrapped the curling wand around a strand, causing Nicole to wince."Im going with Jason!" She exasperated. "Theres no need to dress up so much, and on top of it I'm wearing such a nice dress for nothing," She frowned."Come on!" Charlie groaned. "This isn't for nothing!""Not like I'm trying to impress him," She scoffed.Yes, I get that but everyone else will see you and they will drop to the ground when they see hot gorgeous you'll be looking!" Charlie squealed as she continued to style her cousins hair. "You already are such a beauty and dressed up so much will make you look like such a goddess!" She gushed."As much as I appreciate your compliments, my date-" She cringed at the word, "- will be here soon, so I should hurry up,"A little while later, Nicole hair was curled perfectly and her makeup was done too. Since her dress was a natural, light colour, Charlie decided to give her a little smokey eye. Nothing too dra
"Care for a dance?"Nicole sighed as she grabbed Jason's hand as he led her to the dance floor."Now come on," He chuckled. "You're getting the chance to dance with Jason Pearson, why would you want to miss it?"Nicole narrowed her eyes at him. "Please, you cant even say that," She scoffed."And why would yo-" Jason caught himself as he cleared his throat."Jason!" Jason spun around to see Nicole running up to him."Whats up?" He asked."I was looking for you, I actually had to ask you something," She told him nervously."Okay," He nodded. "What is it?""I know this may be weird bu-""You are weird, Nik," He laughed."Ha-ha," Nicole rolled her eyes jokingly. "Always the comedian, huh Jay?""Learned from the best," He grinned, nudging her.Nicole chuckled along with her best friend."Anyways," Jason stated. "What is it that you wanted?" He asked again."I had a question for you.." She spoke slowly."Hit me up," He chuckled, raising an eyebrow in curiosity."Okay, well... I was just won
"So why is everyone ditching anyways?" Nicole asked, leaning bak in the seat of the car and her and Jason drove to the party.Jason shrugged. "No idea, some kid is throwing a party and I guess the dance is just the same old, boring.""True," Nicole nodded."Hey, if you want to go home just let me know," Jason said to her.Nicole nodded her head but didn't say anything and within a few minutes, they had reached the house. Yet again, another stereotypical high school party.You could hear the music blasting a black away, lights flashing out of the house, cranky neighbours, red solo cups sprawled across the lawn, teenagers surrounding the house doing drugs, making out, talking, dancing and what not.The two of them met up with the rest of their group before they made their way inside the crowded house."Don't run away this time," Asher said to Nicole, chuckling in a joking voice."I'll try not to," She smirked, laughing along with him."Drinks?" Bently asked."We're going to go dance," H
