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.

"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

"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."
