Nothing Stays the Same

Chapter 14: Face Off Pt.2

Nikkie stood beside the tree talking to Hazel and Paige, until Spinner came to pull Paige away from the conversation. Nikkie sat down on a sheet that was layed out on the grass in front of the tree. Hazel sat beside her. They talked for a while, until Craig had stopped in front of them.

"Hey Nikkie, Hazel" Craig said

"Hi Craig" Hazel and Nikkie both said

"So catch you guys later" Craig said

The girls nodded.

"Someone's totally in love" Hazel said

'What" Nikkie asked

"Craig, he's totally scoping on you Nikkie" Hazel told her

"First Marco, now you. Me and Craig are friends" Nikkie said

"The boy has liked you since your days here, there's no denying it" Hazel said

"I know, but there's nothing I can do. I'm already with the love of my life" Nikkie said as she turned to see Jimmy standing by the stage plugging his guitar into the amp. She smiled at him, and he smiled back.

"Cute together, and that's better than nothing" Hazel said. Nikkie giggled.


"Hey dad" a boy said

"Reggie, what are you doing here, I thought you were with Mario" a framiliar voice said

"No, he left with the rest of the boys. So I came to meet the woman you say is "frontin" on you" Reggie said

"Oh, she is with her daughter right now, but I will introduce you in a while. In the meantime, you should meet her other daughter, she should be somewhere around here, pretty girl, your age, but taken" the man said

"Wow, dad. Thanks, next time pick me up a whore, maybe I'll be better off with that" Reggie said

"Reggie" the man yelled at him.

"Dad, talk to you later" Reggie said walking away.

Reggie walked around the park. Until he bumped into his friend.

"Mario" Reggie said

"Man, please don't call me that" the boy said

"I'm sorry, but it's the respect, my dad's here, with his so called "business partner" Reggie said

'Yeah, I would like to know what business your pops be handling" Mario laughed

"You a funny man Poocho" Reggie said

POOCHO......SOUND FRAMILIAR!!!!!! (where I'll always be :chpt. 31)


Nikkie was sitting on the edge of the stage with Jimmy. They were talking.

"So tonight, maybe me and you, my place" Jimmy said

"Awww, have you been feeling lonely the past few days" Nikkie joked.

"Nooooo" Jimmy said joking "I just want to spend time with my girl" Jimmy said

'Well, when you say it like that....I'll be there at 9:00" Nikkie said kissing him softly on the lips.


"Look at her" a random girl said

"What's wrong with that, she's with her boyfriend" the girl's friend said

"Please, I was at the beach a few weeks ago, and she was all over that guy Craig I was telling you about" teh girl said

"Oh, Craig Manning. The boy you have crushed on since you were 10 back in British Columbia" the other girl said

'Yes, and it totally pisses me off" she said

"Then make your move, tonight" the friend said

"You know, I think I might just do that" the girl said

"Vanessa, I think you are ready for a night you'll never forget" Vanessa's friend said

The girls laughed.


Craig was tuning his guitar. He was getting ready to perform with his band. Nikkie had left the stage area to stand by Manny and Emma. The guys took their positions on stage and began to....well......ROCK ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.....(LOL).

Nikkie sat down with the girls. They were talking about the usual, summer funeral, boys, celebrity gossip, boys, and of course there favorite topic, BOYZ. There conversation was inturrupted when Hazel found a boy that caught her eye.

"Do you guys see what I see" Hazel said staring at a boy in the crowd

"Where" Manny asked

Hazel pointed her finger to a boy who had fresh braids, with blue jean short and a white wife beater that showed his fine structured body and abs. He had light brown skin and a tattoo on his left arm. But they couldn't make out what it said.

"Break me off a peice of that" HAzel said

"Hazel" the girls yelled at her

"What, he's cute. I can't resist. Nice abs, cute face...just my type" Hazel said. The girls laughed. The boy turned around and Nikkie saw his face. She froze. She stared at him dead in his face until he caught her stare. She quickly turned away and looked at Paige.

"Nikkie?" Paige asked quietly.

"Paige...I need to go" Nikkie said

"Go where" Paige asked her

"Anywhere but here" Nikkie said. The boy walked over to the girls before Nikkie could get up to leave.

"Ladies....having a good time" the boy asked. The girls smiled and nodded. Nikkie avoided looking at him.

"The names Reggie" he said

"I'm Hazel, that's Manny, Emma, Paige, and Nikkie" Hazel said

"Oh, so...see you on the dance floor ladies" he said walking back to a few guys he was talking to. Before he could fully turn around, Nikkie caught the tattoo written on his arm. It was written in between his wrist and elbow, in a horizontal line. He seemed to have forgotten Nikkie's face. What was written, was the word..................SLIM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
