CHAPTER 9 *Adam's P.O.V. "Chris?" I questioned. He looked up, shocked that anyone had found him. "Adam, hey I didn't know you were talking to me." "Yeah Chris I'm sorry about that. But are you okay?" He shrugged and looked away. "Wanna tell me about it? Is it Nicole? Or...." "You." Chris replied. "Me?" I asked aloud. "Yeah, you." "I don't understand." I admitted, confused. "Well, that sucks huh?" He laughed and looked away. 'Damn him. Now I have to know what's bothering him.' I thought. *Nicole's P.OV. "So, you and Chris are together?" Trish asked. I nodded and Trish, Stacy, Amy, and Torrie smiled. "I knew it would happen sooner or later." Stacy replied. "No you didn't." Torrie answered. "You thought she would end up with Adam." "Oh yeah." Stacy giggled. "Sorry Nic, it's just that you guys seemed so close and stuff. Nicole frowned. "Yeah, we DID, didn't we?" "If it makes you feel better, Nic I thought you would end up with skittles sooner or later." Amy said, smiling. "Jeff? No way. He's just a friend. (A/N: Idiot LOL) I couldn't see him as any more than that." The girls continued talking until there was a knock on the door. Torrie answered it. She talked at the door for awhile then answered, "Come in." I looked up and saw one of my best friends, Billy at the door. "Billy!" I exclaimed, hugging him. "Hey Nic what's up?" He replied smiling. "Not much. What are you doing here?" "Came to visit a buddy." I looked at him, knowing he was lying. "Ok, and get some advice on Steph." I nodded. "Okay. Actually Bill, how long are you staying?" "A couple days, maybe. Why?" "Cause, I was gonna leave in like two days anyway. Boy, do I have stuff to tell you." He laughed and we turned to leave. Before we got out the door, I heard four people clear their throats. I turned around. "Billy," I said pulling him back in the room. This is Amy, Stacy, Trish and Torrie who you met." They all shook hands and we left. *Adam's P.O.V. "Come on Chris, tell me what's wrong." "You really wanna know?" "Yeah." I replied. "Fine, first of all, I'm pissed at you." He stopped, noticing my confused look. "Adam, for the past two days you've been a dick to me. I know you probably hate me for what happened with Nicole and I'm sorry. I shouldn't have kissed her in the first place. I've liked her for awhile and I thought of that as my chance. I'm sorry she picked me, I never expected it. I apologized after I kissed her because I thought she was gonna pick you. Now, I know you like her and I didn't mean to hurt you. I feel bad for making you mad. You're one of my best friends and I don't want to lose you as a friend. So I'm sorry." Chris breathed a sigh of relief. "Man, do you love her?" I asked. He nodded. "I do." "Then I'm happy for you." We hugged and went back inside the arena. When we got to Chris's locker room, we saw Nicole walking away from us, down the hall with a blond guy. He had his arm around her shoulders. Chris and I exchanged confused glances. "Who the hell was that?" Chris asked. I shrugged. 'This can't be good.' I thought to myself. A/N: ??? You like? Sorry about not updating in awhile.
