Nothing Stays the Same

Chapter 6: Tight Guy Friend

Nikkie, Paige and Marco woke up the next day at 12:00 in the afternoon. Nikkie quickly dressed and left the house to go home. When she got home she fell alseep for another hour. She then woke up and went to take a hot shower and wash her hair. When she stepped out she was wrapped in her towel. She was digging in her drawer looking for her favorite shirt. She slipped on her hot pink jeans and a white fat strapped tank top that had hot pink graffiti on it. She blow-dryed her hair and took gel and twisted tow sections from the front, and tied them to the back with a hot pink rubberband. She slipped on her all white uptowns and then put on her hot pink and white mod triple-disc earrings.

She went downstairs and sat up on the kitchen counter top.

"Had a nice sleep" Kayla said as she turned around from looking through the kitchen drawers. Nikkie smiled as she picked on her nails.

"What did you do that made you so tired" Kayla asked

'We were up until like 4 o'clock and we were watching movies cracking jokes and all that fun stuff" Nikkie said as she poped a grape in her mouth from the fruit salad her mother had made for lunch.

"Well, next week I'm off for my start of my vacation, so I was thinking we could go to Canada's Wonderland next week, you know, make it a trip with your friends" Kayla said

"Really!?" Nikkie said smiling

"Yeah, I mean no summer is fun without a trip to a theme park" Kayla said

"OMG, thank you soooooooo much" Nikkie said jumping off the counter and hugging Kayla.

"Welcome" Kayla said. "Oh yeah, Jimmy called you while you were sleeping. He said he arrived safely and he'll call you later on tonight because he's going out with his family" Kayla said

"Ok, um... is it ok if I get Alexa dressed to take her to the park" she asked

"Yeah" Kayla said. "Um, I'm going out right now" she added

"Where to?" Nikkie asked

"Going out with a few friends to a new resturant -slash- bar they opened up downtown. But first I'm going to get my hair done" Kayla said

"Ok, I'll see you later" Nikkie said as she went to go upstairs.


Nikkie went upstairs and dressed her sister. She took her hand and walked out the kitchen door. She walked her to the park and let her go onto the swing sets and monkey bars. Nikkie went and sat down on a bench. She watched as Alexa ran around. Her eyes squinted from the sun shining brightly. She looked down and then looked up to see Craig's hand letting go of Angela's hand. He hadn't seen her sitting there yet. She smiled to see how Angela was dragging him to play with her. But she was nervous for the fact he would come to talk to her. Because if you don't remember they hadn't talked since the little accident on his couch. She looked over at Alexa who had finally spotted Angela and Craig. Alexa jumped on Craig's back. Craig laughed and dropped her onto the grass. But then he stopped and started looking around the park. He realized that Nikkie must have been there also.

He finally spotted her and told the girls to play. He walked over to her and smiled. He sat down beside her.

"Hey Craig" Nikkie said cooly

"Hey, hows it going" Craig asked

"Good, good" she said as she tried not to choke on her words.

"So....it's summer" Craig said

"Ya" Nikkie said

"Um what are your plans" Craig asked

"Um, nothing much" Nikkie said

There was a silent pause for about 2 minutes straight.

"Nikkie, I know things are odd now... in fact things are always weird between us, but I'm really-" Nikkie cut him off

"No, no. things arn't odd, there just...kind of...well, different" Nikkie said

"Well, I really don't want things to be changing" Craig said

"Neither do I" Nikkie said. Craig stared at her dead in her eyes. The way her brown eyes glowed in the sun made him feel shivers.

"You know what, next week my mom has this big trip to go to Canada's Wonderland. And she said to invite everyone, because she got these free unlimited season passes from her job and she wants to go all out for me and my sisters. So maybe you'd wanna come" Nikkie said

"Yeah, totally" Craig said

"You can bring Angela" Nikkie said

"Noooo Way, too mcuh work, and I won't be able to have fun" Craig said

"Chill, Craig. My mom will watch her. Besides were gonna have to take Alexa, right" Nikkie said

"Yeah" Craig said

"Hey, why don't we chill today" Nikkie asked

"Together" Craig asked

"No all alone. Yes doofus. Together" Nikkie joked

"Well, Jimmy is gone, that means no band practice today. So I guess I could say yes" Craig said thinking in a fake way

"And you are gonna say yes" Nikkie said pushing him playfully

"I'm joking, I'm joking. Yeah, lets hang today" Craig said smiling

"Cool, so...um how about you leave Angela at my place to play with Alexa. I'm sure Raylese would be cool with it" Nikkie said

"Alright" Craig said getting up from his seat. He called Alexa and Angela over to them.

Nikkie squated down to tie Alexa's sneakers. She smiled and squinted from the sun. She turned to Angela. "Angie, how would you like to stay with my sister Raylese to play with Alexa" Nikkie asked her

'Really" Alexa said

'Yes, but it's up to Angela" Nikkie said

"Yeah, of course. Can I Craig, can I" Angela said pulling Craigs' pants

"Yes, yes" he said as he laughed

They walked away towards Nikkie's house. They took the girls to Raylese who was just watching T.v in the living room.

"Is this how you are going to spend your summer, Ray" Nikkie said standing there

"No, just lounging for the day. Besides summer needs it's rest once in a while" Raylese said

"Raylese, please. Summer was made to get rid if the idea of school and teachers and tests. I mean it's the only time we have to experience the best of the real world" Nikkie said

"Wow, since when have you become the voice of the world" Raylese said as she turned off the T.V

"I'm am not, I'm just right when it comes to this stuff" Nikkie said "Now, can you watch the girls please" Nikkie asked nicely

"Fine, just don't be back too late" Raylese said

"Ok, mom" Nikkie joked

"Haha, very funny. Bye guys" Raylese said to them as they walked out the door. Nikkie got outside and got into Jimmy's car along with Craig.They drove down to The Dot.

"You want something" Craig asked

"Um, I can pay" Nikkie said

"No, no it's cool. What do you want" Craig asked

"Are you sure" Nikkie asked

'Yes, now what do you want" Craig asked laughing a bit

"Strawberry shake and french fries" Nikkie said

"That's all" Craig said

"Yes, that's all" Nikkie said smiling walking over to a seat. She seated herself by the window. He then came and sat right by her.

"So, Craig. What are you planning on doing this fine beautiful summer" Nikkie asked

"Um, practice, write more music for the band and I guess just hang" he said as the waiter brough their food.

"Is Sasquatch even going to do any real gigs" Nikkie asked him

"Yes, in fact the week after Jimmy comes back, we have a gig at the Town Picnic" Craig said

"Really, can't wait to hear the beats you guys have been working on" Nikkie said. They finished eating and then Craig went to pay.

"Let's go" he said


They went into Jimmy's car and just went driving. They were cracking jokes and listening to music. The song "Breathe" from Fabulous came on. They were about to get onto the highway, but they stopped at a red light. Nikkie was bobbing her head to the music. She turned to look out her window, when she saw a car pull up beside her. She looked into their car, their window was wide open just like hers. That's when she saw the driver. It was him. She had not hurt, he nearly came to a point to help her. It was the boy who had taken her home. The boy who seemed so innocent, but yet had the sense of being guilty. It was......SLIM!!!!!!!
