You and your best friend, Carly, were busy doing your assignment at a cafe when she stopped and give herself a break.

"Hey, Y/n," the brunette called as she looked around.

You sighed, not taking your eyes off your laptop, "Yeah?"

"You see that guy?" she pointed at a blonde man. "He's totally checking you out."

"Huh?" you looked in the direction where she pointed and squinted your eyes to see him clearly. What you saw shocked you so you whisper-yelled to her, "Carly, that's Nevel!"

She raised her eyebrows and tilted her head quizzically.

"Nevel, the guy who hates iCarly," you leaned closer to Carly and tapped her head lightly, reminding her. "Remember iCarly?"

"Of course I do! I was just joking," she rubbed her head and pouted. "Never do that again. That hurts."

"Oh, sorry," you laughed with your eyes still glued to Nevel. 

Carly snickered at the sight of it and suggested, "You should go talk to him."

"No way," you scoffed and crossed your arms. "You know how much my sister and I hate him."

"Aww, c'mon Y/n. You two were obviously crushing on each other," she reminisced. 

"It was just a silly childhood crush," you shook your head at the thought of it. "Puppy love."

"Oh, so you admit that you did like him?"

"Shut up."

Carly and you were about to leave when Nevel came up to you two.

"Hey, Y/n. Carly."

Carly furrowed eyebrows, "Oh, hey..."

You crossed your arms, defensively, "What do you want, Nevel?"

He gave you a cheeky smile and reached for the phone in his pocket, "Your number?"

"Huh? Wh—"

Carly "oohed", gaining a look from you. She quickly apologize and excused herself, leaving you alone with Nevel.

You cursed under your breath, swearing you'll get her later.

"So," Nevel cleared his throat and handed you his phone, "your number?"

"I don't understand," you said as you glanced at the phone in your hand. "Why are you here all of the sudden, randomly asking for my phone number?"

"Because I lost your old phone number," he replied with a smile.

You knew his behavior was suspicious, so you confronted him.

"You're up to something, aren't you? I'll ask you one more time: What do you want?"

He took a deep breath before replying, "No, I'm not. I don't want anything. I just... I want to... Apologize."

You scoffed and laughed at the idea of it, "You? Apologize?"

"I know I messed up, but I—"

"Oh, you did," you cut him off. "You messed up bad."

"Y/n, please," he reached for your arms but you slapped it. He winced at your action and you can see the pain in his eyes but he shook it off, "Hear me out, for once."

Your eyes went wide and you raised your voice at him, "For once?! I've heard you out, more than once! Yet you still betrayed me!"

"I know, and I truly regret it," he expressed. "I promise you, I've changed."

"You're not the only one who can change, Nevel. I'm not naive anymore, I'm not going to fall for this," you quietly replied, holding back tears. "Maybe if you had apologized sooner, I would've forgiven you. But you've lost your chance. I gave you years, I think I've given you enough time."

He stare longingly at you, no words came out of his mouth. 

You looked back into his eyes. You know you couldn't stay there any longer, as you were already making a scene and if you do, you could've burst into tears. 

You walked away from him without another word, leaving him standing there and staring longingly at you.
