Two weeks.

It's been two weeks of nothing. No laughing. No hanging out. No joking. No talking. No calls. No eye contact. Nothing.

Since that night, Nolan and Adrian haven't spoke to each other, neither did I. Something's wrong and everyone knows it. Who wouldn't? Since it have been too cold to sit outside, Adrian and I now sit in one corner of the cafeteria while Nolan and Jazz sit in the other corner. Nat have been avoiding both of his friends and joined a group of jocks to sit at lunch.

Every single person in the student body noticed the cold war between the trinity.

But no one made a move to fix it.

....
I made my way through the halls as quickly as I can, ignoring everyone around me. Though it's been two weeks, the stares and whispers haven't calmed down.

I just want to get out of here as fast as I can.

I shoved all of my books inside my locker. I slung my backpack on one of my shoulder before walking to the exit door of the school. I made my way to the parking lot, where Adrian was leaning on his gray car, all his attention to his phone.

His eyes flicked up to me and he managed to give me a small smile.

"Hi." He greeted as he opened the passenger's seat for me. Adrian and I have drawn closer throughout these two weeks.

"Hey."

The rest of the car ride was uneventful and silent. Adrian was constantly tapping his finger on the steering wheel nervously. Adrian ran out of the car to my side right after he parked in front of Gran and Gramp's house. He opened the door for me and offered a cheeky smile.

I frowned as I stepped out of the car. "What's up?"

He closed the door shut and ran a hand through his jet black hair. "I was wondering if you, um, want to go out?"

If this was a usual friday, I would have to deny him because of work. Good thing that the diner was closed for a week for renovation.

I quirked an eyebrow at him. "Go out? Like..."

"Like on a date." He splurged out, cutting me off.

I was a little taken aback by this. I have never been on a date with a boy my whole life. What would Nolan think? Screw Nolan he doesn't even care, right?

I shrugged. "Why not?"

He let out a breath and gave me a cheeky smile. "Okay then. I'll pick you up at six-ish?"

I nodded before walking back to the house, waving goodbye at him before entering. Gran and Gramps was sitting on the couch, watching some TV show.

"Hi. You're home! How's school?" Gran greeted.

"Good." I lied. "Um.. I'm going out tonight."

Gran turned his attention from the TV and faced me. "Where? With who? Nolan?"

I sigh from hearing his name. I somehow can't stand anything regarding to him. "No. With Adrian."

Gramps frowned but quickly recovered and offered me a small smile."Okay. Don't go home too late, yeah?"

I nodded before walking up to my room. I shut the door and let myself fall face-first to my bed. it has been a very long week, I'll say that. I felt my phone buzzing from my bag. I didn't bother to get it, thinking that the caller would sooner or later hang up. But it didn't, the caller seems to have something so important to say, since my phone hadn't stop buzzing for the past 5 minutes.

I groaned and reached for my phone, not bothering to check who's calling me. "What?"

"Wow there. Bad day?" Jazz's voice said. Even after the trinity split, we managed to stay friend. She has no clue of what happened, no one bothered to tell her. So to stop her questions, Nolan told her that they both got drunk and fought over something.
