I look at Nick who's gobbling down his third bowl of cereal and began to think about the day we first met.
~~~~~
I was just 6 years old back then and some bullies came to taunt me into giving them my money and ice cream. It makes me laugh at the thought of me getting mugged by bigger kids when I was just 6. Well, I was crying hard and screaming cause they are pulling on my hair cause I refuse to do what they want me to do when Nicholas came to save me. He pushed one kid away and said " Leave her alone or else I'll break your nose!". it was funny cause he was just 8 at that time and he acts so brave for his age and thinness.
~~~~~~~
I started to snap out of my daydream when Nick shook me by my shoulders.
"What happened to you? You were staring at the wall and smiling. It's creeping me out Mona.", Nick said with a concerned look.
"I'm fine. Just having a little flashback.", I said smiling at him while looking at his blue-grey eyes.
"Flashback? Or are you just thinking how handsome I am?", Nick jokingly said while brushing a hand through his hair and doing his signature smile that makes girls swoon over him.
I blushed and quickly said "No way, dude. You know that I'm not the liking-the-d-bag type."
"Yeah right.", he says while smirking."I'm gonna use the bathroom and leave you with your ahh...yeah..'flashbacks'".
When Nick was gone I was blushing furiously and thought that Nick was right. He is handsome. He's got red lips, a warm smile, black tousled hair but doesn't make him look like a hobo and blue-grey eyes that seems to sparkle like the stars. He is so--cut it out Mona! I mentally slapped my self to get a grip of myself.
I shouldn't be thinking about him like that. He's my friend. Just my friend.
Nick walked out of bathroom and said "Dude wanna take a walk to the cemetery? I heard there's a really creepy mausoleum that has so many ghosts in it and that that place just mysteriously appears for the one person who will set free the spirits from their prison." He said that in a very creep voice to add to the dramatic effect.
"And where did you get that kind of story?", I asked him with doubt, crossing my arms and raising an eyebrow.
"It's true Mona. That's why they locked down the cemetery last year because some kids went there to look for that mausoleum and went cuckoo!", Nick said while gesturing his finger in circles next to his temple." Come on. It'll be fun. And if it's not really true like my neighbour says then there's no harm done right. Plus it'll be a real mystery."
I look at my winking and smiling friend and said " You caught me off guard by saying it's a mystery so what the heck. We'll go tonight." I punched his arm lightly and smiled while he helped me clean the table.
I'll just ride along with it cause it's just a made up story, right?
