I sat in the chair in my room crying silently for hours.
I heard a knock on my door.
"Go away!" I yelled.
"Sarah? Please let me in."
I got up and opened the door.
"What do you want, Nick?" I sat back down.
"I came to see if you were alright."
"I'm fine."
"It doesn't look like that to me."
I was silent for a minute.
"How long have you known about them?" I asked
"A few days after they started..."
"How long have they been together?"
"A couple of months."
"How could he do this?!"
"I don't know..."
"Why didn't he just tell me?!"
"I don't know..."
"What the heck could he see in Marissa?!"
"I don't know..."
"I don't know! I don't know! Is that all you have to say?!"
"Sorry."
I ran up to him and hugged him tightly, crying into his shoulder.
He held me in his arms.
It felt good.
"It's alright, Sarah. Joe's a jerk for that. He was lucky to have you."
I let go. Our eyes locked, and Nick wiped my tears.
I turned, my head.
"Well... y-you should go..."
"Yeah. Okay. See you later?"
I nodded. He left and I laid down on my bed and sighed.
I couldn't possibly be falling for him, could I?
No. No way. Not in this life time.

The next day, Me, Hilary and Nick went to the movies.
Nick sat in between me and Hilary.
He tried the yawn-stretch maneuver.
This would've been normal if he'd tried it on Hilary.
But instead, he did it to ME!
I removed his arm from my shoulder.
"What are you doing?" I whispered.
"Nothing."
Then he grabbed my hand and tried to hold it.
I yanked it away and slapped his hand.
"Stop flirting with me!" I whispered very quietly so Hilary wouldn't hear.
Nick said nothing.
When the movie was over, we went into the theater lobby and waited while Hilary went to pee.
