The Revenge of the Geek Betrayal.

Chapter two; heartbreak.

I checked the time at 7:59am on my way to school. Passing a miniature yet beautiful lake, I realized that today was not going to be a good day. The realization kicked in like a heavy drum beat. It was Monday. I didn't have anything against this particular time of the week, but me and Nicky didn't share any classes together.

I wish that I was a professional spy so that I would be able to break into the school's system, figure out the password and then synch mine and Nicky's timetable. That way, I wouldn't have to spend Mondays, Wednesdays and half of Fridays with the most obnoxious and popular girls in the country, who infact, are experts at making my life a torture.

"Why are you so sad?" Nicky questioned, his face sour.

I was already inside my high school, City Honor, also dubbed as hell on earth. I'm so lucky that Nicky is here, acting as my personal angel. I linked arms with him to get to our tutor room.

His sparkly yet saddened eyes which sat above his pouty lips would give puppy dog a run for his money.

"I'm sad everyday, Nicky. I just haven't the energy to hide it today." I replied, sighing.

It was true. My heart was longing for the year to end so that I could finally get away from here, the reminder of why I ever developed a feeling of depression. I just don't know why, considering all my baggage, Nicky ever decided to stay friends with me. He was incredibly handsome with the most charming perks, and don't you think all the girls haven't noticed. Every prom, girls would go the extra way to ask him. Invites, upon invites. And on the past prom, he's turned down every lady, whether they be beautiful or not, to spend that night with me. (It was a night well spent! Cheetos...The Gladiator...Snuggies...)

"Oh c'mon, lift your head up princess. If not, the crown falls.' He stated, literally lifting my head up with the surface of his index finger.

I was still upset, but the gesture poured warm hot chocolate into the dry, dark parts of my heart. Yup, it was that beautiful.

'Why are you so awesome?' I asked rhetorically, but knowing Nicky, he'd obviously give a response to a question like that.

"Well, I guess God spent extra time when arranging me." He stated back, popping his collar in the bad-boy, cool type.

What a surprise.

"Anyway, I've got something to tell you," Nicky then said after we were settled in our tutor room seats, it was just the two of us.

"Enlighten me." I replied, awaiting the news with a hopeful smile on my face.

I don't know what it was, but Nicky could just change my mood in the snap of a finger. I'm so lucky I've got Nicky...I already said that right? Sorry to bore you with my affection towards my best friend, but there are no other words.

"I don't know how you'll take it," he continued.

Boy, did he know how to add suspension to a situation.

"Avery, I've been meaning to tell you this yesterday after the party,"

I slapped the urge to grab the collar of his messy shirt and yell "WHAT IS IT FOR THE LOVE OF GOD AND EVERYTHING PURE?!"

"The thing is, I'm going to be moving to Colorado after three weeks." he pronounced those thirteen words in such a whispered and shy tone, but I heard it all.

Saying that it felt like my whole world was crashing down would be an understatement. It was like everything I ever cared for, looking forward to in the dull morning, loved and wanted had just been taken away from me.

I wasn't blinded to the fact that I had almost three weeks left to spend with him, but what was the point? It still felt like my whole purpose, my reason for breathing, had left...abandoned me.
