    A few miles south,  a city named Alan is present. It is surrounded by a beautiful industrial environment. That evening  ,as the sun started to set,a beautiful scenery that could be a refresher. But everyone were busy in their own works . People walking back and forth on the clean street, some were returning to home and some were going to work. And  in "The Fantasy Pizza" a famous pizza shop where you can get tasty pizzas at low cost is full of rush, even the birds were busy in collecting their  food and returning.

     No one is ready or free to admire the wonderful view. A teen boy named Nick, Nicholas Swift probably 19 years old , he is wearing round spects with black thick frame, and his messy brunet hair. He  looked very pale,standing at the clean street of Alan looked above at the sky and said

"I wish I could have never born". Saying this he started to move.

     He returned to his room and threw his back lethargically on the floor and lied on the bed. He is from the nearby village, he came here to pursue his college studies. Being an introverted teenager he feels really hard to stay in this big city and feels lonely. His father runs a small bakery and his mother a homemaker. When he woke up he witnessed dark everywhere and a brightly shining  moon with its twinkling stars , he gave a sigh and looked at the fridge for something to eat he found nothing except an apple . As he is too tired he thought to eat  the apple as his supper but felt somewhat not to eat. So he went bed without dinner.

    On that cold winter night while he's asleep he heard a voice, a sweet voice of  girl chanting "Nick, Nick, Nick.... " He woke up with a sudden thud. He looked around him and found nothing. He realised it is just a dream and wiped the sweats on his forehead ,drank some water placed beside the bed over the table and returned to sleep.

    On his way to college the next day,he happened to see a man with whom he had a bad experience. He was astonished , frightened and terrified. 'Cause the man abused him once when Nick was young. He is his father's friend and Nick , however he tried his best to get over from the traumatic experience,he can't. He is stunned and frozen until he got a sudden hit from the back

"Hey, what are you daydreaming? "
Nick returned to his sense and said

"Hey, George . It's nothing"
George Smith is Nick's friend a handsome teen boy and an enthusiastic one,even though they are friends  Nick doesn't open up much to him. George loves Nick soo much and Nick too, but somewhat he ... Don't feel that much

"Don't lie, say me who is the girl" George asked curiously.

"Georgeeeee..... " Nick dragged

"Just for fun" Saying this George patted his shoulder  with a laugh and continued

"Let's go to class"

The two friends are totally different from each other. In short, George is an extrovert and Nick an introvert. Nick always believes that he's good for nothing. He is not satisfied with the outside world and always craved for someone to hold him but never let one due to his past trauma . Nick is always unhappy about life and expects someone to come and help him to lead a better life. He is unhappy about himself and thinks that he doesn't deserve anyone and everyone around him 'cause he thinks they deserves a better person than him.

   Nick lying on his table  on the classroom strated  to admire. ..admire his love Rose, Rose Goodman . Rose a beautiful young girl with full of grace. She is good at everything in studying, she has the talent of singing ,drawing and so on.  And an important thing is that she has the most beautiful smile, and her amber eyes speaks more, everyone want's her to be their girl including Nick but she seems to be interested in George. On the other hand George too seems to be interested in her and he used to get her flowers often. She had spoken to Nick 2 times. First  she asked him

"Where is George? "
And the next is

"Have you seen George? "

Nick couldn't let his feelings neither for his friend nor for his beloved. Nick loves them both.

He realized that she would never look at him and his life's not gonna change.
        The he wrote in his notebook
"IT WOULD BE NICE TO HAVE SOMEONE TO HOLD"

He again heard a voice chanting
"Nick... Nick.. "

When he turned around and looked he found nothing again.

"Are you coming to play cricket" asked George to Nick.

"I would love to, but I'm engaged with some other work " Replied Nick.

He can't continue a normal friendship with George  due to his feelings towards Rose. Due to this he has been avoiding George for the past few days.
He thinks that he'll soon envy George and it will hurt them all.
     On his way to return his stomach started to growl and he fortunately found " The Fantasy Pizza"  uncrowded , because Nick doesn't like crowded places, he feels awkward and uncomfortable. He returned to his room after filling his stomach. He felt light and a bit happy.

He lied on his bed looked up and said

"Thank God" And gave a sigh
After a few moments his happy emotions turned into dark and he started to think about his Rose he looked up again and said

"Why is this happening only to me?
Why it is not me , why can't I be the one she loves. Why did you creat  me like this? I'm good for nothing"

   He was filled with thoughts and
he slowly went asleep. Then again while he asleep he heard the voice

"Nick... Nick..."

      He is stunned to see a girl standing before him with a long golden hair, as she slowly started to turn it began to glare and Nick woke up with a sudden scream and realized it was just a dream again. He gave a deep breath out and said

"I'm already filled with lots of problem and this strange dream is adding some more"

The he lied down looking up and thought of not closing his eyes so that he would not sleep and get the strange dream. But, however he felt asleep after an hour.
