AN: I know, this is very, very short. But there's another part to it, a continuation, I'm just posting it under two different themes. This one is in the middle of Rock Solid.
Guilt
It was his entire fault, really. And Vida was definitely not going to let him forget it. She glared, she yelled, she told him he was clueless.
He supposed he had been somewhat of an idiot. He really had no idea why. He liked Madison, she had been his first friend in Briarwood, and he really had no problems being the subject of her filming. It's just, when she came in, he found himself wondering whether she ever got out, went on dates, had fun with something besides her camera.
And Wintergreen. He had to laugh at that one. She wasn't the most spontaneous person on the planet, but she was just so cute.
Maybe he shouldn't have told her she was making excuses, and then maybe she wouldn't have gotten mad and left and then got turned into stone. Who was that guy with her anyway? What business did he have worrying about Maddie?
Vida jolted him out of this train of thought, "This is why she always hides behind the camera."
She pointed her wand at Madison's video camera, which began playing the last recording. Nick watched as Madison talked about Vida, Xander, and Chip (Wow, they had been friends since grade school). And then he saw himself projected on the screen and smiling at the camera, whipping a rag at the lens.
"And then there's Nick," Madison's voice rang through the room, "The new guy in town," Something about her tone made that warm feeling come back again, "We don't know much about him yet, but I can tell. He's special."
Madison just called him special, he was special to her. This was how she had fun, and he liked it. He liked her.
Vida was right. He had been completely clueless. About everything.
AN: See what I mean? Short. But the next one is longer. REVIEW!!!
