Nico's POV
"Siss, can I borrow your jacket?" Shaira asked and I smiled while taking off my jacket.
"Sure thing" I replied and gave it to her.
"Nicoooo!!" Here comes Alice, even from afar I can hear her loud voice. As soon as she reached me, she pounced on me and ruffled my hair. "Hello my cutie pie" she said while pouting her lips and acting cute.
"Hello there Alice" I just replied while catching my breath.
"How are you today Nicollettaa???" she asked and sat at my desk.
"I'm fine, thanks for asking" I answered and tried to support her because she's sitting at the edge of my desk.
"Won't you ask how am I doing Nicolletaa?" she asked and looked hurt.
"Oh sorry Alice, how are you?" and please stop calling me Nicolleta, my name is Nicole.
"HEHEHE, I'm doing great. My mom took me to Powland this vacation and my dad gave me a new phoneee, look look" she showed me her new phone and I smiled genuinely. She still looks close to her parents and I'm happy for her.
"That's nice" I sincerely replied and smiled at her.
She freezed in her spot so I got confused and asked why she was looking at me.
"Do you realize that you're charming Nicole?" she asked and leaned forward.
"Sorry?" it's almost like a whisper because I can't comprehend what she just said and
she's getting nearer and nearer.
She stared at me as if we were in a staring competition until the teacher arrived which made her all jumpy and went straight to her seat which is infront of mine.
"Good morning class" Mrs. Sanchez announced and we all stood up to greet her.
And then my first day as a second year senior high school began.
- Break time -
"Hellooo" Shaira just pop up in front of me and hands me my jacket while saying "thank you"
"Anytime" I replied and wore it.
I was about to stand up when Alice sat in my lap. "Alice?" I said while faking a smile to cover up my confusion.
"You know what, Nicolleta?" she started off while happily sitting in my lap as I supported her back.
"Yeah?" I asked and tried to balance her so she wouldn't fall.
"You're charming" she said for the second time.
"Again with this?" I exhaled as if I've been hearing it my whole life.
Ever since I became friends with Alice 5 years ago, she kept telling me I'm charming
and..
"You're fluffy," she added while I just slapped my forehead because it feels like deja vu.
"What's the matter with you again?" I asked and pinched her cheeks.
"Ow owww" she reacted while trying to push my hand away from her face. "You've grown taller and chubbier since the last time I saw you and yet you still look gorgeous and handsome at the same time, how comeeee?" she overreacted and touched her head as if it's impeccable.
"What are you talking about again?" I sighed, having enough of the conversation. I carried her and forced her to stand up while I also stood up. "You're just small Alice," I added, stating the truth.
She's 5'1, by the way and I'm 5'6. About the chubby part, I agree, I've been stress eating a lot lately.
I just scratched my head with these thoughts and laughed at myself. I patted Alice's head and pushed her to the front door so we could have lunch together.
