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

"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
