I was looking up at Nicholas, while he explain why he was here. I didn't really need an explanation, I was glad he was there. 

"I just... Kind of followed you. You seemed stressed out while we were getting changed" He ran his finger's through his dark-blonde hair. Then added. 

"I just started getting worried- so.. erm- yeah" He rubbed the side/back of his neck.

~Nicholas's POV~
5 minutes earlier 

Copper looked stressed, as I followed him. I kept my distance, but I was very much confused on where he was going. So, as I said, I kept my distance and kept an eye on him. 

Till I heard Copper's voice, start saying. 

"STOP IT!" "DON'T!" "No.. Stop it!"

Anger boiled up inside me.

~Copper~

I weakly smiled up at Nicholas. He was clenching onto his bookbag strap. 

"I just wanted to check if everything was okay" He sighed, I looked up at him then down at my feet and whispered. 

"I'm sorry" Nicholas's eyes went wide and said in a worried tone. "You have NOTHING to be sorry about!" He tilted his head to look at me. "Sorry" I said, and I felt my face grow warm again. 

His face was a gently pink as well, but I thought it was just the cold weather outside. 

"You know, you say sorry a lot" Nicholas pointed out. We went quiet for a moment, and I opened my mouth to say it again. But he interrupted me. 

"Don't say it!" I gently chuckled. "I kinda want to say it" I weakly smiled. "Don't!" Nicholas smiled and pointed a finger in my face. 

I laughed, actually laughed. He brought his hand back up himself, then patted my shoulder gently. I flinched, I hated it when people touched my shoulder or back. Because they'd be able to feel my binder. 

But I don't think he felt it, due to wearing so many layers. He turned me, and he continued to pat my back for a moment. It confused me, none-the-less, but I just let him be. 

"Come on, we'll get locked out if we're in here any longer" Nicholas said, while we walked together. Weirdly enough.. he was still lightly patting my upper arm.

We both walked out of the building, and stopped walking for a moment. We both lived in the opposite direction, so we waved each other goodbye and we started to walk home. 

I took in a big breath, then turned back to watch him walk away. My face went warm, and I felt tears threaten to leave my eyes once again. 

'Idiot! I am such an idiot! ' I mentally scolded myself. 'SUCH! a FUCKING idiot ' I hugged myself.

~Nicholas's POV~

"Good practice, Nicky?" My mom asked me, while she was driving. My face was warm, I knew it was. "Nick?" Mom looked at me concerned. 

"Mmhm?" I murmured. I looked out the window, and my eyes sparkled at the thought of Copper smiling. I weakly smiled at myself in the window.
