6teen bonus story: Chapter 2
"Will you go out with me?" Keith stammered. He looked in her eyes with hope. Please say yes, please say yes! But Nikki didn't exactly look thrilled. She just stood there in utter shock.
"What...?" she asked in a whisper.
"I know it's a bit sudden but, I had to let you know one of these days."
"Keith...,you know, I'm going out with Jonesy." she reminded him.
"So?"
"I like him a lot, so..., I'm sorry." Nikki replied as she started to walk away.
"What? You can't be serious! You actually think he's better than me?"
"I never said that. I just think of you as more of a friend."she said as she turned to face him again.
"He's not good enough to be your boyfriend Nikki! You could do so much better!"
"How could you say that?"
"He can't keep a job for even a day, he hits on every girl whether or not she has a boyfriend and he stinks of B.O!"
"I can't believe you! Jonesy is a great guy. Yeah,so, He has his faults. But he had lots of good qualities too!"
"Like what?" Keith yelled back not convinced.
"Well...,he's kind, he is always there for me and our friends and we have so much history together!"
"You know you shouldn't lie."
"I'm not lying!" she hollered back. They were now making a scene.
"You must be because that isn't even close to the truth!"
"It is the truth!"
"Whatever. If you think 'Jonesy' is the best than you are clueless!"
"Leave me alone! I never want to talk to you again!"
"Well,if you ever figure out I'm the one for you, call me."
"You'll be waiting forever because that is never gonna happen!" Keith just ignored her and ran down the hallway towards Albatross and Finch. Nikki shook her head in disgust and then made her way to the last place she wanted to be right now, The Khaki Barn."
She stormed into the store and immediatley went into the change room she was always in. The clones were happily lying to the customers, as usual, about how they looked good in anything they tried on. They hadn't even noticed Nikki speeding past them. Nikki sat down and took out her cell phone to dial Caitlin's number. Since Jen was probablly super busy at the Penalty Box. Caitilin picked up right away.
"Hey Nikki, what's up? Caitlin said in a cheerful voice.
"Uh, I need to talk to you." she blurted out getting right to the point.
"Really?" she asked in a shocked voice.
"Yes, Okay."
"You in the change room?"
"Yep."
"Ok, see you in a few"
They both quickly muttered 'bye' and then hang up. When Nikki's cell phone smack shut it showed the big red dot which she stared at until two minutes passed and their were a few light knocks on the door.
"It's me." Caitlin whispered. Nikki cracked open the door and she walked in and closed it behind her.
"I got her as soon as I could. So what's the matter? What do you need to talk to me about?"
"Well..." Nikki started realizing she didn't really want to talk about what had just happened.
"Come on, spit it out."
"Well..., me and Keith got in a fight."
"About what?"
Nikki unclenched her fists by her sides and answered, "He told me he liked me and he wants to go out with me."
"No way! Keith? I thought you guys were friends!"
"Yeah, that's what I thought too. But not only did he do that but, he insulted Jonesy and told me I was a liar." Nikki continued mimicking Keith in an annoying voice.
"Oh my gosh! What are you gonna do about it?"
"I don't know. But I said I would never talk to him again so I'm 'guessing' that we're not friends anymore."
"That's too bad, you guys had fun together, you were like best friends!"
"I know, it's unfortunate but seeing the way he was today I feel just...,angry!"
"Do you need a hug? Times like these are tough on us girls." Caitlin asked holding her arms out .
"Uh, no thanks." Nikki replied putting Caitlin's arms down. Caitlin gave Jen a call and filled her in on everything that had happened. The two of them headed down to the lemon.. Gosh, how am I going to tell Jonesy? Should I even tell him?
Since it's my break now, I should probably get something to eat. Wonder how Jonesy'svnew job's coming. As Wyatt was about to make his away to the take-out section in 'Super terrific happy sushi' someone tapped him on his shoulder. He turned around to see Keith.
"Hey Wyatt. What's up man?"
"Nothing much. Just going to get some sushi for lunch."
"Cool. But, hey, for a sec, could I just talk to you?"
"Uh...,sure. What do you wanna talk to me about?
"Well...,I asked Nikki 'a question' and she kind of spazzed out at me."
"What was the question?" Wyatt asked suspiciously.
"That's not important. Anyways, me and her are kind of in a fight. How long does she usually hold a grudge?" Keith said smiling trying to make the situation humorous.
"Making Nikki mad? Depends on the situation. But she can be stubborn. The longest she has gone is a couple of months."
"A couple of months? Great."
"Is that all you wanted to know?"
"Oh, one more thing. What is your perspective of Nikki?"
"My perspective of Nikki? Why do you need to know that?"
"Just curious."
"Um, well, she's a good friend of mine. She is very unique, kind of harsh sometimes and very truthful."
"See, isn't she just a great person?"
"Uh, I guess."
"That's a girl that deserves a great boyfriend."
"Well she has Jonesy."
"I had someone else in mind." Keith lastly said before he walked away to go find Nikki.
Wyatt stood there confused. What the heck is going on here?
