// Nick's pov, Friday afternoon //

Camp was fun but I really wanted to go home now. "Hey Nick, can you help me with my luggage?" asked Mia. I sighed. I picked up her luggage and put it on the bus. We were clearing and loading before going home.

"Thank you." She said. I turned to my luggage and put it on the bus. She just stared with a smile. I looked around and saw Karl struggling with his suitcase. I walked over to him. "Need help?" I asked. "No, it will work." He said. He lifted his suitcase but dropped it again.

"Come." I said as I lifted his suitcase and lifted it into the bus. "Thank you." I gave him a smile. "Nick, can you help me?" Mia asked as she stood behind me.
I sigh. "How many suitcases do you have with you?" Karl asked, he saw that I had already helped Mia with a suitcase. "I didn't ask you anything." She said angrily. "What do you need?"
I asked. "I want your help."

"I think you can carry it yourself." I said As I took Karl's hand and walked away.
We got on the bus together and looked for a place. "Come here." Q said as he pointed the places behind him. There was no one on the bus yet except Q and Wilbur.

We sat down with Karl to the window. "Are you sure you want to sit next to me?" I asked. "Yes, of course, if people have a problem with that, it's their fault that they don't have a heart."

I laughed. "Okay, but tell me if you don't want to anymore." I said. "It's fine." He said. I nodded. He took my hand.
"I mean it." I smiled as he kissed my cheek. Then people came on the bus.

When my dad picked me up from school we were very happy. I told him all about the camp and how much fun it was. While the two of us were at home waiting for Clay to come over, I continued talking.

We'd drive to Bad's house together. It didn't last long before he knocked on the door.

{ George's pov }

I opened and meet his sweet smile. "Hey," He said. We leaned forward and gave a kiss. "Are you ready?" He asked as we pulled away. "Yes, let me get my coat." I said. He nodded and walked to his car. "Nick, let's go!" I said he came and put on his shoes. I quickly grabbed my coat and made sure I had everything.

I closed the door behind us as we walked to Clay's car. We got in, Nick in the back and I in the passenger seat.

"This is the adress." I said when I type it on his GPS. "Okay," and Clay started to drive. "How are you?" He asked. "Good, a bit nervous." I said. "Why nervous?" He asked.

"I don't know. I'm afraid you don't like each other." I said. "Nonsense." He said. "You said such sweet things about them." He said. "Yeah but you never know." I said as I looked out the window. "It will be fine." He said as he put his hand on mine.

"Thank you." I said. "We're still going on a date Saturday, right?" He asked. "If you still feel like it, yes." He gave a smile. "Oh Nick, will your friends be there too? Karl and Quackity I thought you said their names were?" Clay asked.
I smiled that he was trying to get around with Nick. Nick sighs and looked out the window. "Yep."
Clay looked at me thinking he was doing something wrong. I shook my head and stroked his hand. I mumbled: 'it's okay'.

We arrived at Bad's apartment. I knocked on the doorbell. A seconds later Skeppy opened the door. "Hey Skeppy." I said. "Hey George, Nick the kids are in Q's room." He said, Nick went straight away. We gave a little hug. "So what's up?" He asked. "Yeah good. Oh, Skeppy this is Clay, Clay this is Skeppy." I said.

"So this is the famous Clay Block, Bad was talking about?" He said. Clay gave a smile. "Nice man." Skeppy said as he held out his hand. Clay accepted and shook his hand.

We walked further in the apartment. "Hey guys." I said. Niki and Minx got up from the couch. "George!" Niki gave me a hug and gasps. "Is that him?" She whispered in my ear. "Yep, that's him." He said. "Omg, nice to meet you! I'm Niki." She said as she let go of me and held out her hand. "Pleasant to meet you, I'm Clay." He said.

"I'm Minx, Niki's fiancé." Said Minx.
"Oh yeah, George said something like that. Congratulations."

"Thank you." She said when she threw an arm around Niki. "Honey can you- Oh hello. You must be Clay." Bad said as he came out of the kitchen.

"Uhm yes indeed. Thank you for the invitation. According to George you make the most delicious dishes." He said. "Thank you, I hope you think so too. Oh my apologies I didn't introduce myself yet. Badboyhalo but everyone calls me Bad." He said.

"Okay, Bad. Nice to meet you." He said.
I took Clay's hand and smiled. Everything went so well.

-

After tasting many cakes it was already 11:30pm. Clay and the others got to know each other better and things went pretty well. "I think we're going to pack up." Said Niki. "Yes us too, the food was delicious Bad." I said. Clay put his hand on my thigh. "Indeed, we really enjoyed it." He said with a smile.

-

We had said goodbye to the others and sat in the car. "The cakes were so delicious." He said. "Indeed, and Nick how were Karl and Q? Did you have fun?" I asked. "Yeah, we played a lot of games." He said. I smiled and rested gently.

-

When we got home Nick went upstairs to brush his teeth. "Hey," Clay said as he gave me a hug from behind.
"So... would you like to end this beautiful evening with a bit... fun?" He asked. I turned around and smiled.

"Yeah I'm up for a little fun." I said. He smiled and kissed me gently, when we pulled away for breath we put our foreheads together.

"Go upstairs, I'll grab a glass of water and then I'll come upstairs too, okay?"
I asked. "Okay." He smiled and went upstairs. I took my glass of water upstairs but stopped at Nick's room.

{ Nick's pov }

I finished brushing my teeth and went back downstairs to say goodnight to my father. I went down the stairs and heard them talking. "So... would you like to end this beautiful evening with a bit... fun?" Clay said. I stopped and listened to what my father was going to say.

"Yeah I'm up for a little fun." I felt my heart sink into my throat. I felt a feeling rise in my body, my head got hot and I started to sweat. I run back upstairs and closed my door.

I began to breathe deeply and tears came to my eyes. I bite my teeth and made my hand into a fist, my eyebrows furrowed. I walked to my bed and hit my pillow as hard as I could. I hit several times until I got rid of my anger.

I stopped hitting and started crying.
I lay down and covered myself with blankets and pillows. I cried into my pillow. When I had cooled down a bit I heard a knock on my door. "Honey, are you in here?" He asked. "Yes, I'm here." I had my back to the door.

"Hey pandas, I just wanted to wish you a nice evening. I love you." He said.
I didn't move. "I love you too." I said softly. I felt his smile in the room. "Bye Pandas see you tomorrow." He said as he closed the door.

I sighed and felt a little calmer again.
I grabbed my panda stuffed bear, I've had it since the beginning of time. I hugged it to my chest and breathed in and out slowly.

Then I fell asleep.
