Ricky's pov

Today's Tuesday. I'm going to school today. Shit. I'm so not ready for this. I don't even know if she still goes to East she probably still does. I miss her to death and just want to hug her but at the same time I know I can't. I can't get my hopes up if she's not here or if she doesn't remember me.

I take my skateboard and strap my helmet on before zooming down the sidewalk towards the familiar school. I remember the first time me and Nini saw HSM. She was so excited that we went to the same school as the movie was shot in and her smile that day, unforgettable. 

Arriving at East was like being hit in the face with memories. A single tear dripped down my face as I rubbed it off remembering the memories I had in this very building

I walked in to try and fine some familiar face and that's when I saw her

Nini.

Oh god, oh god, oh god save me, I'm unwell. I knower she would be here, she's my best friend, so why am I nervous? What am I immediately running the other way? Why has she gotten so pretty? I glanced over my shoulder to see her talking to Gina, Ashlyn, Kourtney and some other girl who I haven't met. I started pacing the other way when I bumped into someone. Big Red.

"Big Red?" I asked

"Ricky" we hugged. I missed the guy so much.

"How' ve you been?" He asked

"Good, but it's great to be home again"

"That's great, man" he finished

We walked to where his lockers were but I stopped in my tracks. Nini.


Nini's pov

What! Is that? No! It couldn't be. I just stood there, my jaw literally on the floor. Ricky.


3rd person

The pair just stood there, eyes huge looking at eachother. The rest of the group also stood there. Alternating looks between the two occasionally whispering something into their neighbours ear. They stood there for around 3 minutes when Nini said. "I have to use the bathroom" and ran away from the group as soon as she could. This snapped Ricky out of his trance and finally turned to see everyone else. "Hey Ricky..." EJ started. 

"Hey" I said quickly

"How are you?"

"Been better."

There was an awkward silence lingering between the group before Kourtney said "We should, probably go check on her", signalling to all the girls. "That'd be good" Jet said. 

All the girls sprinted to the bathroom to see Nini starring at herself in the mirror, emotionless. She felt the presence of the 4 girls behind her and turned around to face them and immediately broke down crying as the four embraced them. "He's here! Why is he here?"

"I don't know, Nini, but it's okay" Maddox said sweetly

"It's not! I just. I don't know what to do if he's back for good" Nini cried

None of the girls knew what to do so they just hugged Nini tightly.

"We should go to class" Nini said as she harshly rubbed the tears away

"Nini. We don't have to go if you don't want to" Kourtney said

"Don't force yourself and hey it's better if you stay here and get all of it out instead of keeping it in the whole day" Ashlyn followed.

"Fine but I'll only stay for 10 minutes" Nini said simply before Gina went up to hug her.


Ricky's pov

I went with Big Red to our first class of the day which was history. I wasn't really behind on anything because I went to a good school in Chicago so I just followed work as normal. I saw Big Red looking around the class like he was looking for someone. "Dude, who you looking for?"

"Nini, she's in this class." He said still looking around

"Oh." 

"Sorry dude. She's probably fine though" he said while looking at me. 

As if on cue Nini walked into the classroom. Her eyes were puffy and slightly red. Normally I could read her like a book but it's been 3 years and she seems really stiff, like she has walls up. The only seat left was next to me. I smiled at her but she only rolled her eyes as she slumped down in the chair. "Hey Nini" I said. She only scooted her chair as far away from mine as possible. What was that for? I know that I messed up when I left, but I'm trying to repair what we had. She could at least put a little effort into this friendship. "Dude, she'll come around" Big Red said. I just continued with my work for the rest of the class while secretly glancing at Nini. She was either working, holding her pen so tight that her knuckles were white or she was looking outside the window, not concentrating at all. I decided to give her space and didn't comment or say anything,
