Girl-
Later that afternoon,Lindsay walked into her house to find an odd occurance.
The house was empty,and all that was left behind was a note from her parents.
Dear Lindsay,
Gone out to barbecue with the Redmans from next door.
I left a plate of dinner for you in the refrigerator to warm up after you get back from the library honey.
Won't be late.
Love,Mom
Dropping the note back onto the table,Lindsay lifted the plate out of the fridge,then poured herself a glass of milk and sank down into the sofa.
She was just about to turn on the TV when the phone rang.
"Hello?"
"Hey Linds"
Lindsay felt her heart beat a little faster when she recognized the voice.
"Uh,h-hey Nick"
Nick smiled to himself,he had always loved the sound of her voice even now that they'd broken up.
"Um I was wondering if you...
And then he hesitated,and Lindsay began to worry
"Yes,Nick?"
"If you had the Chem notes from todays class," Nick replied softly "Ken told me there's a big exam tomorrow and I can't afford to mess it up,I mean now that I'm planning to go to university and everything"
"Oh,sure" Lindsay exclaimed sweetly "But weren't you in class today? I'm sure I saw you"
Nick felt himself blush a little,despite being alone he was struck with embarrassment "Uh yeah,about that..you see the thing is I kinda skipped out to get-I mean go to the store with Daniel and I'd ask Sara but she didn't-she was sick and went home early"
"Oh," Lindsay replied "Okay,if you wanna drop by I'll get them ready for you"
"Awesome," Nick exclaimed excitedly "I'll be by in ten,and thanks a lot Lindsay"
"No problem Nick" Lindsay replied with a smile "Bye"
Lindsay hung up then jumped to her feet anxiously.
Nick was coming over in ten minutes,ten and she'd never felt more nervous or scared to see him.
Thinking quickly she grabbed the phone and punched in a number.
"Hello?"
"Kim is that you?"
"The one and only," Kim replied with a laugh "Whats up Linds? You sound stressed"
"I am," Lindsay quickly squeaked "I mean Nick just phoned and he's on his way over to borrow some Chem notes,what do I do?"
"Wow,Nick Andopolis wants to borrow Chem notes?" Kim replied with a gasp "Either Sara really has changed the boy or he's just looking for an excuse to see you"
"Kim," Lindsay replied,agitated "This is serious,you have to tell me so I don't look like a total geek"
"Okay," Kim exclaimed quickly "Here's what you do,first off remember when you two first broke up and I told you to stop being nice cause you were leading him on? Well start again,because if I know one thing for sure it's that guys love a girl who makes them feel important"
"Got it,anything else?" Lindsay asked nervously
"Yeah but I'll tell you the rest later,for now just do what I said" Kim replied excitedly "Okay,I'll call you after nine,good luck"
Just then the doorbell rang and Lindsay's heart jumped as she walked to the door,phone in hand.
As the door slowly swung open,Lindsay felt short of breath at the sight in front of her.
Standing on the front step,Nick nervously played with the hem of his shirt while turned slightly he stared off into the distance.
It was obvious he didn't realize she'd already come to the door when he stood silently in the dark.
The wind picked up a little and it tousled his soft,wavy hair,his eyes shining in the street light.
"Oh,hey Lindsay" he replied turning back "I didn't hear you come out"
Lindsay smiled her trademark,soft,sweet innocent smile and Nick felt his heart melt a little as all the old feelings rushed back.
But then he forced them back in and sighed.
"Um come on in,I'll just grab the notes"
Nick followed Lindsay inside,then leaned against the wall in the hallway as she ran to her room.
When she reappeared a few seconds later she had a few pieces of paper in her hands.
"Here you go," she replied handing them over
Then their hands brushed and she felt electricity surge through her veins,and her eyes instantly traveled up to his.
It was then she noticed the pained,heartfelt look he had in them so she instantly looked away.
"Um,there's two pages on the twenty sixth chapter and three more on the conclusion" she replied softly "If you need any help or anything just call,I know some of the topics in this chapter are pretty hard"
Nick smiled,instantly she felt better "Thanks Linds,I really appreciate this"
"It's no problem at all,really" Lindsay replied warmly "I'm happy to help"
"You always were awesome Lindsay," Nick exclaimed leaning down to hug her "Thanks again,but I better get going I have a lot of studying to do"
"Bye,Nick" Lindsay softly whispered as she slowly let go.
As he took off out the door and down the stairs to his car,Lindsay felt like a little piece of her heart was breaking all over again.
Maybe he was really,truly over her for good she thought sadly,and then a tear fell down her cheek.
Quickly picking up the phone,she hit redial.
"Kim Kelly,at your service"
"Hey Kim," Lindsay replied feeling her voice crack in her throat.
"Lindsay,are you okay?" Kim asked with sudden concern.
"Not really," Lindsay replied honestly "Listen I need you to help me right away,I think I'm losing Nick for good"
"Why,what happened?"
"He's acting weird Kim,I don't know how to explain it but it just feels like he's drifting away"
Kim was silent for a moment as she thought,then she came back on "Okay,this is what you do"
Lindsay nodded,despite not being seen.
"Okay,first off you have to make him jealous," Kim replied knowingly "Nothing gets to a guy more than feeling like he's got competition,or in your case forces him to think about what he's lost"
"It all sounds good Kim,but there's one big problem" Lindsay exclaimed with worry in her voice "I'm not dating anyone,and there's no guys that-
"That's where your wrong girlfriend," Kim replied cutting her off with a mischievous grin "You're going to date Daniel"
