Greg waited outside his house with his stuff, waiting for Nick to pick him up with his car. He was under a roof still so the rain didn't get to him. He watched it thinking about how it fitted his mood. He really didn't want to do this assignment. Thinking about the assignment made him think back to yesterday…
Flashback:
"Okay, now that you've been put into partners, you can get together and plan some things out." The teacher said. Greg looked over at Tim, a bit worried. Eric didn't know that Tim was really gay. How would the assignment work for Tim then? Tim tried to smiled, then sighed, stood up, and dragged his chair over to Eric beside him.
Greg spaced out still worrying, but heard the teacher telling Catherine and Warrick that they had been given an extra room for Lindsay, Catherine's daughter. He also heard Sara say that she didn't care to Grissom, as long as she got a good mark.
"So do you want to move in first or should I?" He heard a voice say by his ear. He looked over, jumping as he saw Nick beside him. "Uh… sorry, I didn't hear you." Greg muttered, shaking his head. "Do you want to move in first or should I?" Nick asked again.
Greg thought about it. "I don't, uh, have a car, so, I guess you can move in first…" Greg said, fumbling over his words. Why the hell does Nick make me so nervous? Greg thought-complained. "Hm… I have a car; I can pick you and your stuff up." Nick told him. Looking over and smiling. "Okay? Just give me your address." Greg nodded, and wrote out his address then handed it over to Nick.
The bell rang then and Nick got up and left. Tim came over and grabbed his bag, he looked at Greg. "Hey, Greg, you okay?" Greg sighed, got up, grabbed his bag, and walked with Tim to their next class, talking to Tim as they walked out the door. "I'm fine, just…" "Nick? It's weird how he makes you nervous, Greg, you know that right." Greg nodded.
"So what about you? How'd it go with Eric?" Greg asked. It was Tim's turn to sigh. "What am I going to do Greg? I don't want Eric to find out." Tim groaned. Greg patted his shoulder sympathetically. "We'll think of something… you'll just have to stay out of his way for the assignment."
They walked into their Probability class. Tim looking angstful and Greg looking worried.
End of Flashback
Greg didn't have time to worry any more because Nick had just pulled up. Nick got out and grinned. "Hey," he said. "Hey," Greg muttered back, a bit awkwardly. Together they put Greg's things in the back beside Nick's things. Greg hopped into the passengers' side and they pulled away. It was about a fifteen minute drive to the apartment buildings the school had rented out for their students.
Nick looked at Greg from the corner of his eyes. Greg was looking out the window bored. That was until a song came on the radio that apparently Greg liked because he turned it up and began mouthing the words. Nick laughed. He was glad Greg was relaxing a bit, it seemed like Greg was uncomfortable with him or something. Probably just the assignment… Nick thought. Heck, I'm not comfortable with this assignment.
Greg realized what he was doing and heard Nick say: "You know you look funny doing that, right?" Greg looked over and grinned cheekily. "You can't be serious all the time! There's no fun in that." "You can't be goofy all the time either. You'll never get anything done then." Nick said back, turning the radio down. "Hey, I'm not goofy all the time!" Nick snorted. "I've seen you, you're always doing something goofy." "Yeah, well, at least I have fun. You're all serious. All the time." Greg snapped back. "I play football! I participate in extracurricular activities." " 'Participate in extracurricular activities'? You sound like my guidance counsellor." Greg said rolling his eyes.
Nick glared at him, he would have responded, but they had arrived at the apartment building. In angry silence they grabbed their stuff and went up to the fifth floor. Each of the partners had a floor of their own. Though instead of getting of into a hall from the elevator, they walked into a room with a door, which only they had keys too, that led into a living room which had other rooms connected to it.
Greg tried to balance his bags and get his key. He heard Nick behind him sigh, and tried even harder to balance the bags. However, the weight of them was too much, Greg dropped them and fell back. He didn't however feel the ground which he expected to. He looked up to see Nick, who had caught him. Nick looked… worried? Greg was set up right and Nick grabbed his own key and opened the door, taking his stuff in. Greg shook his head, and grabbed his stuff. It must have been his imagination.
A.N. Okay, the last part is cliché, but I couldn't help it! Hope you guys like this chapter.
