Karla's POV
I came home from school feeling really happy about the fact that Nicholas had saved me from Deathless Wrath of Olivia and he did make me feel safe and even brought me home.
How sweet can he get?
As I walked in, the phone started ringing.
"Hello?"
"Hey honey!"
"Mom?"
"How's my dear Karla?"
"Doing better mom."
"So I heard."
"Huh?"
"I heard that there's this guy at school that likes you."
"Mom! Those are pure lies!"
"Honey...maybe the boy likes you."
"Trust me, he doesn't"
"Honey, please be a little bit considerate how the boy feels."
"And what if I don't feel the same way he feels?"
"Give it a try."
"And risk everything? Not a chance."
"What's there to lose anyway?"
"Uuh...everything?!"
"Fine...well I got to go, work is calling."
"Yeah, bye!"
And she hang up. Seriously, is mom working with somebody at school and knows everything right now? And who is this guy that likes me? For what I know, nobody likes me. Everybody says hi and hey or sup? but that doesn't mean they like me right? Right. And with Nicholas, he likes me as a friend. That's it. I don't even know what the boy thinks, and if I do, I bet that doesn't include me.
Thursday, November 12, 4pm, my room
This is the best day ever. Not only did I get to see Olivia as a defeated party but also, many people notice me. I'm not the invisible girl anymore, I'm THAT girl. Just THAT girl, nothing else. Being recognized by people is kinda fun, who am I kidding? It's awesome! But, I can't help but think...why is he so kind to me? He, meaning the most popular guy at school. I mean, it is quite flattering and all but also questionable.
I wonder what my mom is doing right now? Should I call her or do homework? Mom, homework? Mom, homework? I pick homework! Let's see...homework...homework...AHA!!!
Calculus: Read book page 450
Physics: Read and memorize Relativity and Quantum Mechanics
Spanish: Prepare for quiz
World Cultures: Nothing!
Oh cool. I have 3 subjects to look forward to for tonight.
I closed my journal and hit the showers.
"Aaaahhh...shower feels so good."
I said as I went out of the bathroom, wrapped on a towel. Suddenly, my phone started ringing.
"Hello?"
"Hey Karla."
"Who is this?"
"Uh...It's Nick."
"Nick who?"
"Nick at school...Nick"
"Oooh...That Nick."
"Uh yeah..."
"Why'd you call?"
"Just wondering...do you like..."
"What do I like?"
"Chocolate or vanilla?"
"You called just to ask what I like?"
"Uh yeah."
"Weird... I like vanilla on ice cream but chocolate on cake."
"Oh cool."
"Yeah."
"Uh Karla?"
"Yeah?"
"What are you doing?"
"Obviously talking to you."
"I know that...anything else?"
"Well...I'm standing and a towel is wrapped around me."
"Huh?"
"I just got out of the shower."
"Oh yeah...so I'll call you later?"
"I don't know...Okay"
"Oh okay, bye."
"Bye."
Well that was pure awkward. I wonder what he wanted? I closed my phone and dressed up.

"Uuuuugggghhh!!! Calculus is so hard!!!"
I said as I threw my book on the floor. Joe was laughing as he teased me all night long.
"Shut up, Jonas. Calculus isn't entering my brain!!!"
I said.
"Come on...Calculus is easy."
Joe boasted.
"Easy for you to say."
I said as I grabbed my book. I sat on the couch and started reading.
After an hour
"As much as I want to help you, Karla, I can't. I have to go home."
Joe said as he grabbed his stuff and left.
"How am I suppose to understand all of this?"
I asked myself as I looked at a page of problems. I sighed as I took the book and started reading until my head exploded.
"AAAAAAHHHHHH!!!! I can't understand it!!!!"
I said then I heard the doorbell, who could that be in this time of night?
I went downstairs and opened the door.
"Hey."
Guess who the person was, it's Nicholas. He was standing outside, looking really cute...wait, did I just say that? No, I'm so weird!!!
"Hey?"
I said.
"Is that a question, or a statement?"
Nick asked as he scratched his head.
"Nevermind, so...wanna go in?"
I asked him.
"Sure."
We went in and I led him to the living room which is irrelevant because he saw it before, how stupid of me!
"So...why are you here?"
I asked him.
"I was just wondering...do you...want to go somewhere?"
"Uuh...I have Calculus to do...really really hard!"
I said.
"Wait, I can always call my friends and let them do it for you."
"No, please. I want to do it, it's my homework."
I said in defense.
"Well, we can always do it."
he said.
"Yeah, do you even know Calculus?"
I asked.
"No but I can try."
he said.
"I don't think you would handle it."
I explained.
"Let's just try."
Normal POV
After few hours of laughter, food and Calculus; they finally did it.
"Whoa, I never knew I would do Calculus."
Nick said.
"Yeah, and to be honest, you're a fast learner."
Karla complimented.
"Yeah, everybody says that."
"Don't think you're all that."
She said and they started laughing not realizing that they were few inches away from each other. Slowly, Nick was making a move but
"I'm sorry."
Karla said as she grabbed her stuff.
"Oh yeah, sorry. I should go."
Nick said as he left.
