One month has passed and a lot has changed. First of all Ava and Hunter were actually a happy couple. Ava did get rid of the pregnancy but that was completely her choice. Only three of us knew she was pregnant and she asked us to keep it that way. Mikey and I's friendship has been better than ever though it was always good.  Him and I would take Rocky to puppy lessons, it was kinda our thing.  Rocky has gotten so big , and he barks at EVERYTHING. It was cute when he was little but now he's got a deep bark and it's very loud.  He's still my baby though.
Jess has moved in and her and I go shopping all the time. I've become quite close with her too, never knew her and I had the same taste in just about everything.  Blake and Alex decided to buy motorcycles, they were like a carbon copy of each other in personality except Alex is quiet and Blake can be kind of a ass. We've given them the nickname of 'the twins' though Mikey and Blake are the only ones who look like twins. Blake and Mikey even switched classes one day for a joke and no one seemed to notice.
We all became really close with Victor, especially him and Alicia. I think they have something going on.
As for Cole and I ? Literally couple goals. Once I accepted the fact that he's a annoying little shit I actually enjoy being his boyfriend. We spent most of our time at his house just doing your typical boyfriend things. His mum is recovering though he hasn't visited her. He doesn't want to talk much about his parents and I respect that. Each to their own.
As for me? I've started doing photoshoots for big fashion brands.  My face was even on a big billboard. How crazy? Kids from my school love taking photos of it and tagging me in it.
Although I used to hate the attention im starting to let it grow on me.

"You ready?" Cole marches through the door

"Yeah just about, take these for me?"

I pass Cole my bags for our beach trip with the group. This weekend was going to be fun. We were borrowing Jace's car since neither of us wanted to take ours and it was a three hour trip. Cole offered to drive the way there.
Cole has become the one to drive between us two, he seems so at ease when he does.

We arrive at Mikey's parents beach house and it is massive.  I notice that Ava's pink Audi is already there, same with Hunters truck.  When we get inside we are greeted by Mikey who shows us our room.

It was a decent sized room which had its own bathroom. It also looked over the backyard pool and over the sea.  I could definitely get used to this.

Cole insists we go to the pool. I'm holding my towel over my shoulder when we bump into Nick on the way there. Him and I haven't spoken over the last month, he seems to be avoiding me and Cole. Strange.

"Oh hey Nicky" I say to which he just shrugs at me and nudges Cole by the shoulder when he walks passed.

"Oh so your not going to even look at me now ?" Cole seethes

Nick just keeps walking

"What's his problem? " I ask Cole

"Doesn't matter, let's go swimming".

That evening we ordered pizza and had a little party of our own. Ava and Hunter laughed along dancing with each other.
Alex, Blake and Cole were splashing around in the pool like kids.  At one point they managed to grab Ava and Alicia in.  I'm sure the neighbours heard their screaming.  Victor , Mikey and I decided to sit inside and watch from the windows.

"This is nice you know" Victor says

"Yeah it is" Mikey replies

"Where's Nick?" I ask noticing he's not around.

"No clue" Mikey shrugs and opens the fridge to probably search for food. I decided to go upstairs and search for Nick. I didn't want him missing out on all the fun.  When I got to his room I knocked on it a few times but no answer. I opened the door slightly to see him on his phone, his eyes piercing as ever when he looks up.

"Thought you'd take the fact I didn't answer as a 'don't come in' he flatly says

"I wanted to check if you're ok? We haven't really hung out like we used to for a month"

"Your dating Cole and in your free time your hanging out with Mikey or you have a photoshoot" Nick shrugs turning his eyes back to his phone.

"Honestly don't know why your with Cole" he starts

"Because I see something in that boy that others don't" I say as I head over to where he's sitting and sit next to him

"He's opened up to me a lot Nick" I say

"Oh really? So you know about our little make out session at camp? And did you know that Hunter saw us?" Nick says seemingly upset

"What?" I say shyly

"Yeah ahah, well that's why I've been avoiding you guys" Nick says returning my gaze.

I sit in silence with Nick for a bit until I decide to speak up

"Do you like Cole?" I ask

"No, no definitely not, I was just at a low when it happened, I would've kissed anyone. Plus he's the one who initiated it" Nick says. Placing his hands behind his head and leaning back to the bed head.

"You ok harry?" He asks

"Yeah it's just a shock" I say still contemplating everything I've just absorbed

It's not like I was dating either of them then so that shouldn't be a problem .
I got up and left Nicks room. I don't know what I'm feeling now. My emotions are in a mix and I'm a little disappointed Nick didn't kiss me at all on that camp trip.  Ugh I'm starting to sound like such a whore. Oh well runs in the family, it'll probably take me til Jace's age for me to settle down anyway.

"Hey!" Cole says when I enter our room.

There was a hint of lust in his eyes and I was bored so I jumped onto him and I'm sure your mind can fill in the blanks
