--Chapter 5--Welcome to Union Pines--

"Thanks for taking me today Jeff. I appreciate it." Nicole said.

"Anytime, it's no trouble...you live right next to me." He laughed.

"Hey Nic! Jeff! Over here! " Shannon and Nickeh yelled from across the lunchroom.

Nicole and Jeff sat down across from them.

"Hey guys." Jeff and Nicole said at the same time.

"Hey. How's school so far, Nic?" Shannon asked.

"I really like it here already. I met a lot of cool people. There are a lot of hot guys here too." Nicole laughed.

"Ahh...I see, and who might that be?" Nickeh asked.

"Shane Helms?" Nicole laughed.

"He's cute, and sweet, but very strange... He calls himself 'The Hurricane', he claims to be a super hero." Nickeh laughed.

"Awe, how cute!" Nicole laughed.

"Gotta boyfriend?" Jeff asked rather quickly.

"What? Oh. Yeah. I haven't talked to him since the move though. He's mad at me for leaving." Nicole shrugged.

"Oh. Well, it's not your fault you moved. He shouldn't be mad at you." Jeff said.

Nicole shrugged again, "I know, but he doesn't understand that. That's just the way he is."

"Oh. Do you love him?" Jeff asked, getting a little more personal. Nicole looked at him, his eyes were soft and caring, she was very confused.

"I, uh, I, I thought I did. Now, I don't really know..." she said, even more confused than ever.
