CHAPTER 4
*Adam's P.O.V.
My jaw dropped to the floor when I walked into the cafeteria with Jeff. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. Chris and Nicole,.......... KISSING? "Oh my god!" I whispered. Jeff looked as shocked as me. We didn't know Chris liked Nicole. I suddenly realized I was moving, towards Nicole and Chris. By now they had pulled apart. Nicole said something to Chris and he nodded and smiled. I could only guess what they were talking about.
When I got to the table they were sitting at, Chris looked up at me and smiled a little. I wasn't looking at him, though, I was looking at Nicole. She wasn't making eye contact with me. Instead, she looked at Jeff, who gave her a questioning look. I felt like knocking Chris out, but luckily, I didn't.
"So what's up?" Jeff asked, breaking the ice.
"Nuttin much." Chris answered, smiling.
'God I wanna knock those teeth in.' I thought to myself. I looked at Jeff, and he could tell how pissed I was. Thankfully, he helped me out.
"Chris, come here, I wanna talk to you for a minute." Jeff said. Chris nodded and got up and followed Jeff out of the cafeteria. Nicole sat on the bench looking at her root beer, and I stood, still seething.
"Adam, you can sit if you want." Nicole said, quietly. I sat down, and looked at Nicole. She finally looked at me. "Are you okay?" she asked.
"Fine." I answered sharply, making her jump. She just looked back down, suddenly fascinated with her sneakers. Just then, thankfully, Stacy, Trish, and Amy walked over to us.
"Nic," Trish started. "Come here for a minute." Nicole looked at me and got up, walking with her friends. I watched her walk away, and then I got up, looking for Chris.
"How could he?" I asked myself.
"How could who?" I heard someone ask. I turned around to see Jason (Reso) walking up to me. "What's wrong, man?" He questioned. I shrugged. "Don't play dumb with me, Adam. I know you." I explained the whole situation to him and he told me that he'd get answers for me.
"I hope so." I told him, hoping that there was a reasonable explanation for why one of my best friends and the girl I was in love with were kissing each other. "I really hope so, Jay."
*Nicole's P.O.V.
After I left Jeff and Adam talking in the parking lot, I went looking for Trish, Amy, or Stacy. Instead, I found Chris. I gave him a hug and we started talking. While we were talking, we saw Jeff come running past us, and then, seconds later, Adam came looking for him. I saw him and smiled. He smiled back, but it looked like a fake smile. He seemed upset, but I couldn't tell why.
"You hungry?" Chris asked, shaking me out of my daze. I nodded and we went to the cafeteria for a snack. Chris bought me a root beer and some Doritos, while he got a sandwich and a coke.
"Thans, C.J." I said, using Chris' nickname.
"Welcome. So, Nic whats up?"
"I dunno. Not much I guess, you?"
"I don't know. I'm okay." Chris answered, I could tell he was lying.
"What's really up, Chris?"
"Well, there's this girl I like, and I don't know if she likes me back." He explained. "And, the problem is that one of my friends also kinda likes her."
"Oh, who's this girl?" I asked. "Someone I know?" He nodded. "Trish, Stacy, Amy, Torrie?" He shook his head 'no'. "Who then?"
He then leaned in and kissed me on the lips. I was shocked. "Good enough hint?" He asked.
"I'm flattered, Chris, but........"
He cut me off by saying, "Don't worry about it. If you don't feel the same that's cool. I just wanted to tell you."
I leaned in and whispered in his ear. "It's not exactly that, but I kinda have feelings for Adam. I'm sorry." He nodded. I suddenly thought of something. "Wait a minute, who's the other guy that likes me?" Chris smirked and shook his head. As I started to laugh, I looked behind Chris, and saw........ Adam.
