"Paige?" I let out in a whispery tone. I know that she goes to this school and I always have, but I never seen her. I literally haven't seen her in person since 9th grade, I don't know how.

Her eyes and Clay'a divert to me and her lips part in shock. "Nick.." she says awkwardly. Clay grabs her by her waist and sits her on his lap, stabbing me in the heart. "I didn't think I'd see you here," she breathes out, not taking her eyes off me.

I shrug, "h-here I am." I swear to god, I want to kill myself, oh god.

Clay looks between us several times, "we're at school," he says like the ass he is. The pain I'm feeling in my heart is too much bare and I suddenly start to feel my own heartbeat.

"nick," Paige starts, her pretty blonde hair getting in her face a little, "you've gotten more attractive," she tells me, her eyelashes long as they bat in the slightest. I can't tell if she's doing it on purpose or not.

Clay grunts, "stop flirting with my friend." I swallow the limb in my throat and stare down my food.

"You two.. you're going to prom together?" I ask in a tone of disbelief. It really is too much for me to comprehend. Paige opens her mouth, but Clay cuts her off.

"Yeah, this is Paige Isaacs," Clay says. He slaps her ass and I physically cringe, shutting my eyes to relieve them of what they just saw. "She's got a nice ass," the prick smirks and she just blushes.

Their voices begin to drown out as my heartbeat gets louder and I feel dizzy.

I stand up abruptly and the buzzing in my ears is gone. The two lovebirds look up at me and when I look at Paige a face, her pale skin and high cheekbones, it mocks me. Her deep green-blue eyes torment me with the memory.

The memory of that night. The night where I lost all of my faith, all of my trust in women. In girls. It floods my memory and it's irreversible as I stare at her. God, how I hated her. How I despised her. And now she's sitting before me on my best friends lap.

"Nick?" Her angelic voice asks me and I snap back to life.

Her light eyebrows furrow and she looks at me. She's so beautiful.. 'she's the fucking devil, Nick. The devil.' I shake my head and grab my backpack, rushing out of the cafeteria like a lunatic.

I would've fainted.. or hit her. I don't trust myself. My hands grip my head, hoping to ease the vivid thoughts and memories, the confusing words in my head. 'how could she? How could clay?' I'm panting as I walk outside where it's practically vacant.

The cafeteria is used more regularly than this part of the school, since I used a weird door.

I slide down the brick wall, sitting on the hard concrete and trying to steady myself. 'She can't hurt you anymore, Nick. She can't use you for fun. Take a deep breath' my brain tells me so I do.

But I lose it again. This time, for a completely different reason. I'm not really sure why, I've seen of plenty pretty girls. And she was far away, A safe distance; more than a couple yards. Her hips swayed as she talked on the phone, long dark hair reaching almost to her waist.

I couldn't stop staring, probably looking like a weirdo. Her small figure had me entranced; I hadn't even seen her face.

I was feeling insecure currently. Well.. all the time. But especially now that I'd see Paige, I was even more shy. But the girl didn't turn around and, instead, walked back inside the cafeteria through the door straight down from me.
