Where I'll Always Be

Chapter 35: Back in Place

Jimmy was walking back and forth in his bedroom. He looked around at the black silk colored walls. The white lights shining on the walls. His posters bright and pictures all over the ceiling and walls. His bed wasn't made, and his clothes were all over the floor. He was sort of upset. He had just gotten news from his parents. It was good news, but at the same time, news that wouldn't exactly be happy for his friends and girlfriend. He looked around and then plopped himself on the bed. He kicked off his shoes and took off his pants and went under the covers. He was going to sleep on it. And then think about it in the morning.

.......................................................................................

It was morning. It was Monday, June 21, and Nikkie was dressed a blue jean skirt that had green and yellow stripes on the side and some green and yellow designs all over. She had a white t-shirt with a bunch of paint splatter paint designs in yellow and green. She had her yellow and green and white customized uptowns on. Her hair was in glossy, curl waves with 2 thin headbands, one yellow, one green. She had on her gelly braclets. On one hand she had 5 yellow and on the other, 5 green. She was in the kitchen eating with Alexa. Raylese had walked in.

"So, what's on summer schedule for you" Raylese asked

"I don't know....might just chill around enjoy the sun with my friends" Nikkie said

"Cool, but before all of that. Me and you ONLY.....are doing something together" Raylese said

"Like what" Nikkie asked excitedly

"Anything, we'll talk about it later, but trust me, we will have fun" Raylese said grabbing her keys. "Bye, gotta go to work" she said as she gave Alexa and Nikkie a kiss on the cheek.

"Alexa you ready to go" Kayla asked from the top of the staircase.

"Yes mommy" Alexa said

"Ok, lets go, I'm going to be late, again" Kayla said sounding nervous. "And now I can't find my keys, my purse or my file bag" Kayla said. Nikkie got up and walked to the television in the living room. She picked up the purse and bag from beside the television. She picked up the keys from on top of it. She walked back into the kitchen to find her mother rumaging through the closet.

"You left it on the floor last night, remember, you fell asleep on the couch so I had to move it all aside" Nikkie said as her mother had finally realized that she had everything in her hands. She ran over to her.

"Thankz baby, you are a angel" she said kissing her forhead. "Come on Alexa" as she grabbed her hand and ran out the door.

Nikkie rolled her eyes and laughed to how Kayla could even make it through the day without her.

When Nikkie got to school she found Emma with J.T and Manny.

"Hey guys" Nikkie said

"Hey, what's up" J.T asked

"Nothing" Nikkie said "You guys didn't see Jimmy or Spinner did you" Nikkie asked

"No, but I did see Paige, she was with Hazel" Emma said

"What? With Hazel" Nikkie said

"Yeah, they were talking like one on one with each other" Manny said. Nikkie looked at her feet kind of pissed. She looked back up.

"Thanks" she said and walked away.

She walked down the hallway. She couldn't find them. She went to the bathroom pissed off. She went into a stall. She fixed up her skirt. Then she heard voices.

"Paige, you promise you'll tell him" Hazel said

"For the millionth time Hazel, yes I'll tell Jimmy" Paige said

"But you make sure he agree's with it" Hazel added

"Yes, fine, Hazel take a breather. I need to use the bathroom" Paige said walking down to the last stall. Right there Nikkie popped out. She looked at Paige. Paige looked at her with a uh-oh kina look. Nikkie rolled her eyes and turned to Hazel she looked at her and bumped into her shoulder and left.

It was lunch. Nikkie was outside on the bench eating a small cup of a rainbow icy. Jimmy was beside her drinking a sprite.

"So, I was thinking next monday, me and you could go somewhere together" Nikkie said

"How about a party. My oldest cousin is throwing a ravethe week after school's done." Jimmy said

"No, I mean you and me together alone, but we could go to the party too" Nikkie said

"Cool, then" Jimmy said Suddenly Paige appeared upon the scene.

"Nikkie, could I uh talk to you" she said

"Why" Nikkie said with a attitude

"I...I just need to" Paige said

"Fine" Nikkie said. She got up and followed Paige to a near by tree.

"What do you want, cause if I'm npt mistaken, you promised Hazel you would talk to Jimmy, so I really don't know why your talking to me" Nikkie said

"Nikkie, please. Listen. Hazel wanted me to tell Jimmy to talk you into talking to her again" Paige said

"What?" Nikkie asked

"Yes, Hazel said she was sorry and she wants you to talk to her" Paige said

"Well she could do that herself" Nikkie said

"Ok, I'm sorry" a voice said. They turned around and saw Hazel

"I still wonder why you would do such a thing" Nikkie said

"I was jealous. I know hard to believe. But I felt like you stole something from me. I wanted Jimmy for a long time. It hurt me to see you with him. So I told myself, it's time for someone else to feel my pain" Hazel said

"But still, it was wrong" Nikkie said

"I know, and I'm sorry" Hazel said

"But Hazel, why did you go so far" Nikkie asked

"I said it, i was jealous. I thought if I had Jimmy, I would be as good as you" Hazel said

"But, you don't have to be. You could get certain guys in a certain way. Not making poeple jealous and become hurt" Nikkie said

"I know that now.......forgive me" Hazel said.

"Yeah, just, don't make me feel that way again" Nikkie said hugging Hazel.
