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

Nicole woke up with what felt like some weight on her. She slowly fluttered hey eyes open to the sun beams showing from the side of the blinds when she relaxed she wasn't in her room.The flashbacks from the night before flashed in her mind and she slowly rolled over when her eyes widened when she saw - some very attractive - biceps. She looked over and she Seth; his mouth slowly agape as soft, barley audible snores left his mouth. His hair was messily swept across his forehead, some strands falling over his eyes.Nicole slowly reached up as she moved some of his short strands of hair away from his eyes when her hand stopped midway as she realized what was happening.Seths muscular arms were wrapped around Nicole's petite frame as her legs were tangled into his and her head rested in the crook of his neck.Nicole shut her eyes before her hand slowly fell to her side as she brought her lips in her mouth, holding her breath for a second before she finally calmed herself and exhaled soft

"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
