I can't help but stare a moment longer at his eyes, a blue so bright it seemed to shimmer in the light.

"Uh hello? You okay, you are staring at me and its making me uncomfortable. If I didn't know any better, I'd say you have a crush on me" he says matter of factly. I stare at him, not amused.

"Seriously?"

"Fine!" He steps back in mock defeat. "Talon, nice to meet you baby doll" he says mischievously.

"I'm –" before I can finish my sentence he walks away and doesn't look back.

As I pick up my things, still sprawled on the floor I call Nicky.

"Nicky please, I know you have to look after your brother but this is urgent and—" I start of the words racing out of my mouth.

"Hey, hey okay, where are you? I'll come pick you up." I knew I could count on her and I almost collapse in relief.

"Thank you so much Nicky omg! I am at the corner of Smith street, near the bus stop."

"Got it, I'll see yah soon?

"Great" I breath, "um, do you think you could stay on the line? I mean, you don't even have to talk to me or anything, I just need to know that someone's there." I say timidly.

"Of course! You okay, did something happen? "Nicky begins to speed up in worry.

"I'll tell you when you get here".

I wait in silence for Nicky, shifting my weight from one foot to the other, always looking over my shoulder to see if someone is there. She has tried to make small talk with me, but I'm too distracted. After what feels like forever Nicky pulls up. I run over to the car, pull open the door and throw myself in.

"Woah! You okay? What happened?" Nicky starts asking a billion questions.

"Okay, um, I was walking home and someone, some people, I don't know, but they grabbed me and I don't even know what they wanted me for. But then I feel they grip loosen as some dude I have never even seen before rescue me!"

"Omg! Are you okay?" She sounds really concerned as I look at her grave face.

"Yeah, I just..."

"But the dude, is he hot, I see that Brent may have some competition?" She starts.

"No. This dude, even though he was

INSANELY hot, he was so arrogant. He made me so annoyed!"

"Hmm, well then, do you want to stay at mine till Zach comes home?"

"Yes please! Thank you." I am so glad I have Nicky!

"Ugghh" I sigh as I flop back on Nicky single bed. Her room is not very big, but is still cosy and great place for us to hang out.

"Sooooooooo" Nicky says, by her tone of voice I can tell this is going to be an interesting question.

"Breenntttttt..." She draws out his name.

"Yesssssss..." I say back, just to annoy her.

"Seriously Keely! What is going on between you two!?" She is beginning to sound concerned.

"I don't know, it's just, I've been waiting for him to text me but he hasn't and I don't want to—" I'm cut off my Nicky grabbing my purse from next to me." Wait! Nicky! What?" I try to grab my phone back from her as she pulls it out of my purse and unlocks the lock screen. "Darn it! I knew I shouldn't have let you add in your touch ID!"
