Just Friends

"Hey Nick, Kevin, and some unknown person," the barista at Starbucks shouted loudly and smiling wide, Nick smiled back at her, walking faster to the counter and extending over it, hugging her tight.
"Shanna," he smiled again.
"Nick," she smiled.
"Are you going to Kyla's?"
"What's going on over there?" she questioned, confused.
"You don't know?" Kevin chimed in loudly.
"She didn't call you, jeeze. Well, we're having dinner then exchanging a few gifts and going to see a movie."
"Well, I'll come," she chirped up.
"Great," he said.
"What'll it be?" she smiled, "And who are you unknown person?" she spoke to Gessina this time.
"Me?" Gessina pointed to herself nervously, "I'm Gessina, just call me Gess though, everyone does," She said with a smile.
"Alright, Gessina, what do you want?"
"Uhh." she looked at Nick unsure.
Nick winked and ordered Gessina and himself caramel frappaccinos.
"Kevin, aha. Where's my hug?" Shanna asked.
"Sorry," Kevin chuckled, and reached over the counter hugging Shanna.
"So, who's that chick anyways?" Shanna whispered to Kevin while Nick and Gessina talked near the pick up counter.
"His new 'friend'" Kevin said, emphasizing friend.
"Oh," Shanna sounded, bummed.
"Don't worry Shanna, he hasn't forgot about the summer, believe me," Kevin smiled, "He's still got your pictures all on his bulletin board in his room, he's got some on the tour bus too."
"He does?" she said relieved and happy.
"Yeah, he does. So, be at Kyla's at around 6:30. It's.." Kevin checked the clock behind Shanna; "It's 5:30 now."
"Alright, I get outta this coffee heaven at 6:00, so I'll be a bit late."
"Fine by me," Kevin smiled and took his drink, waving goodbye along with Gessina and Nick, and leaving Starbucks.
"Wow, he still cares," Shanna, whispered to herself.
Shanna and Nick had spent most of the summer together since they hadn't been touring that much. During the summer amazing things happened. Nick and Shanna's friendship grew stronger and Shanna's love for him did too. Towards the end of the summer Shanna had told Nick her feelings and he didn't say anything besides, 'Oh, all right,' and smiled. So Shanna, making her assumptions assumed he didn't feel the same way, but Kevin just confirmed to her, he does, or at least he did.
"I've got to get rid of that new girl," Shanna, whispered again and plopped the mop on the floor to clean up the coffee spill.
