Girl-
Nick Andopolis sat slouched down in his desk chair,a frown on his face as he scribbled in his notebook.
Pretending to take notes was always what passed the time while he drew and thought about life.
Chemistry class was almost over,but he felt someone watching him.
Glancing back he noticed that Sara was lost in thought as she read from the textbook.
Seeing this as his chance,Nick slipped out of his seat and carefully walked up to the teachers desk.
After he received permission to go to the office and lay down in the nurses room he took once last look back and breathed a sigh of relief that his girlfriend wasn't watching.
Once in the hall he took a quick stop at his locker,grabbed his coat and keys then made his way out the doors.
Just as he had stepped off the last step he heard a voice call out.
"And just where do you think your going Mr Andopolis?"
Cringing,Nick turned his back expecting the principal or Mr Rosso the guidance councellor.
But instead,Daniel sat leaning against the school wall with a smirk.
"Jesus Desario,don't do that..you scared the hell outta me!"
Daniel laughed "Why,think I was your girlfriend coming to drag you back?"
"Very funny" Nick replied with a scowl "Lay off Sara,okay?"
"Geez,someone didn't get their daily dose of happy medicine" Daniel scoffed,then shrugged "So whats up,ditching early?"
"I could ask you the same thing" Nick noted,then cracked a smile "Hey wanna drive over to the store with me and get some cokes? I could use an upper"
Daniel looked up,shielding his eyes from the sun with his hand "Hey I thought you were sick man,whats up?"
Nick looked away,then back "Nah,just feeling a little down lately"
After a look from Daniel,Nick covered "I mean must be from being clean,I'm not used of not having that extra high I guess"
Raising an eyebrow,Daniel crawled to his feet deciding to drop it "Cool lets go,but we have to be back in thirty..I promised Kim I'd give her a lift home"
Nick nodded,then dug out his car keys.
Then the two hopped into Nick's green car and drove away.
Half an hour later the school bell had just rung when Kim met Lindsay by her locker.
"Hey Linds,how are you doing?"
"Fine,thanks" Lindsay replied with a sigh "So I guess I'll talk to you later,I'm gonna head home and get some homework done"
"Not so fast!" Kim jumped in,motioning to the spot under the stairs where their group usually gathered when they ditched "I need to talk to you"
"Okay," Lindsay replied tiredly "Whats up?"
Kim jumped up and sat on the heater leaning against the window.
"Come on Kim,I really need to go" Lindsay exclaimed looking behind her as if expecting someone.
"Fine,fine" Kim said raising her hands in the air "Wow someone's sure in a hurry to get away from me..or is that worried they'll run into a certain someone and his bimbo girlfriend?"
"Kim," Lindsay said in a warning tone "Out with it"
"Okay," Kim replied with a smirk "So I was thinking you could really use my help"
Lindsay laughed a little "Really,with what exactly?"
"Hey don't make fun," Kim added mischeviously "It just so happens I'm an expert when it comes to getting the guys"
"Alright,I'm outta here!" Lindsay exclaimed turning to bolt "Thanks anyway Kim"
"No,wait" Kim quickly jumped down and grabbed her arm "Come on,I know you want Nick back!"
Lindsay stopped on the spot,frozen.
"And since I care about both of you,I want to help" Kim replied with a smile "Please let me help...I can't stand to see him with that sleazy-
"Hold on a second," Lindsay exclaimed sliding down the wall to a sitting position "I care about him too,and I don't want to see him being controlled by her but it isn't my place to-
"You're damn right it is!" Kim exploded "You're the first person Nick ever really cared about,the only reason he's even seeing that tramp is because you dumped him"
"Yeah,I broke his heart Kim" Lindsay replied sadly "He deserves someone better,someone who-
"Stop right there," Kim cut her off,hands on her hips "First of all the only reason you guys broke up is because your mom interfered and you were scared because he was burnt out a lot"
"Right Kim,he couldn't go a day without smoking"
"He doesn't do that stuff anymore Linds,he's clean now"
"Yeah,because of Sara..he stopped because she asked him too Kim," "Do you know how much that hurts,I begged him to stop but he couldn't,not for me"
"That's where you're wrong Lindsay," Kim replied quickly "He did stop for you,he's still in love with you I know it!"
"Right,that's why he's with Sara now"
"Just to make you jealous" Kim interjected
"Fine if your so sure,prove it" Lindsay replied,tired of arguing
"Oh I intend too,not that it isn't already so obvious" Kim exclaimed clasping her hands together with a mischievious grin "But first I need you to cooperate and follow my directions"
"I don't think thats such a good idea-
"Just do it Linds," Kim cut in "Please,I promise you won't be sorry"
Lindsay sat silent for a moment deep in thought,then shrugged with a frown "Okay,but I better not regret this Kim"
"Awesome,don't worry Linds," Kim replied excitedly "Kim Kelly always gets what she wants"
Lindsay couldn't help but break into a smile as she watched her friend jump with excitement,then bound down the hall.
"I CALL YOU TONIGHT WITH THE DETAILS!" she shouted as she ran away and out the school doors.
Slowly pulling herself up,Lindsay felt a rush of emotions all at one time.
Worry,anticipation,wonder,but most of all the pulse racing nervousness at the possibility that Nick could still love her.
It made her heart feel like it was going to explode thinking of Nicks reaction to her confession of her feelings.
He had always been so passionate in the past,but what if he was really over her?
"It's now or never Lindsay," she said to herself as she felt a smile creep onto her lips "You knew Kim would want to help,now just let her and stop holding yourself back"
As she walked out the doors,Lindsay flung her backpack on her shoulder "Today's the day you go after your dreams and stop letting head dictate your heart"
