Chapter 5- My friends Nick and Harris

Smiling cheekily at me derrick said.

"here they are "

Hurrying over to Nick and Harris, I help up Nick while Derrick helps Harris out, both still groaning over their fall. Wimps. Well, I can't really call Nick a wimp though, I mean, years of football has certainly done him good, with big muscles, and a strong stature, many people fear him.. But to me, whenever I see him, I just see a big, sweet guy, who has amazing brown eyes and jet black hair. He's basically like a teddy bear, but with muscles.

And then there's Harris, he looks a bit Asian, but I'm not sure if he is. I never wanted to ask, why ? I don't know. Even though he looks Asian, he is good looking with a lean structure, black hair, styled so that there's a little quiff in the front and black eyes.

"Are you guys okay ?" I ask after they both stand up.

"Yeah we're fine, man that guard sure has a grip on your throat" says Harris, rubbing the nape of his neck. Nodding my head I agree, he really knows how to have a grip.

"Derrick !" Yells Nick all of a sudden, and I look at them confused as the three yell each others names before huddling into a hug. Weirdos. They stay like this for a while and I just stand there.. Being me, bored.

After a while of hugging, they break apart and as though Nick finally noticed I'm here, he yells out my name and pulls me into a hug, wrapping his arms around me and encasing me in his warmth. It was nice. That is until Harris and Derrick join in and I struggle to breathe, not because they are squishing me oh no, because they decided to squish me into Nicks shirt.

"Mmf ! Blmmf faaa! Dammiff!" I yell into his shirt. Letting go of me, he smiles down before releasing me entirely and as Harris and himself sit on derricks bed, Derrick and myself sit on mine.

"So, where will you guys stay ?" Asks Derrick and as soon as he says it the ground starts to shake and I crawl back on my bed until I hit my back against the wall, and the floor opens up. What the hell is happening ?! I gasp as I see two extra beds slide up, then move to the front where the room elongates and adds posters on each side, signalling whose bed is who. Wow.

"Woah" we all say.

"How long will you guys be staying ?" I ask as soon as the shock from the bloody floor opening and beds and increasing the size of the room and posters disappeared.

"Uhm we're trapped here" says Harris scratching his neck, what ?! Looking at Derrick I see his eyes widen before a guilty look spreads over his face, why would he be guilty ?

"It's not your fault Derrick" I say, patting his head. Is that how you comfort people ? I mean I'm normally great but with Derrick it's awkward, though I still enjoy it. He turns his head to look at me before bursting into laughter, and soon enough we all joined in.

"Is that really how you comfort people Kay ?" Asks Nick, still chuckling from my stupidity.

"Well no, usually I'll hug them or say comforting words but I didn't know what to say !"

"So you pat them on the head like a dog ? So what am I to you, a dog ?" Asks Derrick, playfully nudging me.

"You should be honoured that you are a dog, dogs are cute !" I say, before face-palming myself for actually saying that. Gosh I am stupid. The laughter from the three of them didn't help, and I just sat there, my arms crossed and a pout on my lips. Meanies.

Looking at my watch ( it's a weird habit of mine, I can't stand not knowing what's the time ! No, I'm actually a procrastinator ) I see that time has passed really fast and that it's 8 pm. If that wasn't weird enough, mine and Nicks stomachs growl, signalling our hunger. He looks at me and chuckles, soon enough I'm laughing too. These guys are great to hang out, regardless of wether we are trapped or not.

"Let's go eat" says Derrick and once again we head out the door, this time Harris and Nick sharing my shock at the freeness. This time stepping carefully on the platform with Harris. Soon enough we pass the places and arrive at the cafeteria, Harris and Nick sticking close to us. We take the food and sit at the same table we sat at in the morning, Max there to greet us.

"Hey guys" he says, waving us over.

"Who is he" whispers Nick into my ear, his breath making me giggle. Max looks curiously at me, before a smile replacing his frown.

"He's Max Carson, Derricks friend, I met him this morning" I whisper back, and he nods at me, before sitting on the table next to Derrick. Sitting next to Harris, I pay little attention to the conversations going on while they become friends, I'm sure I even heard them say something about the girls here. Yup, bonding with the boys.

"Hey Kaylin, why so quiet" asks Harris as I murderously chow down a chilli cheese fry.

"I'm eafn" while I try to make sense, with food in my mouth. Chuckling at me, he smiles and gets back to the conversation at hand, while I finish my yumminess that is food. Soon enough I'm done, and I tune in to their conversation.

"Bro, iron man would not have the strongest crotch , the hulk would"

And I'm tuning out, and people wonder why I'm quiet. Hmm, wonder why did Derrick fell guilty about this morning ? Also, why did they talk about the avengers crotches ? Ewwie. Dude seriously, who talks about the avengers crotches ? And that too iron man ! Well Robert Downey Jr is the best for iron man, with his class, his awesomeness and his legs, yep no one can get legs like RDJ...... What the hell am I thinking about ? Seriously I wonder what made me so weird ..

"Kaylin !" Yelled Max as he shook me out of my dream like state. Shaking my head I look at him, before looking around and seeing that the guys left ! Those ditchers. Pushing my glasses up my nose I ask.

"Where are the guys ?" He smiles cutely at me, from up on the table where I guess is his "spot"

"Derrick wanted to tell them something in private, so they asked me to show you around"

"Oh" I say softly, did they want to ditch me ? I.. Hope not, I really hoped Derrick and I would stick together through this thing.

"Kay ?" He asks softly, making me look up and sigh.

"Listen if you want ill call them back and ask them to show you around, I mean you are their friends" my eyes widen and I look at his sad, frowny face which looks like a puppy, awww a puppy. Back to the topic.

" no ! I mean, I just didn't know that they'd go you know, but I don't mind you showing me around" I say, smiling so that I don't look like in lying, because I'm not, unless if I am... Oh my gosh that would be so mean !

"Cool then, lets go" he says taking my hand and dragging me along with him to the platform, letting me step on first like gentleman. I didn't fail to notice though how everyone stared at me like I'm a weirdo. Well technically I am a nerd hanging out with one of the hottest guys here... Hmm

I didn't even have time to check out the view this time as we arrived at one of those tinted parties I saw yesterday, looking at him curiously, I see him give me a reassuring smile, before he pulls me out and into the tinted glass room, where a much lighter and more, sober party is going on, though strobe lights still slit all over the room and the music still blares in your ears and the bass beats in your heart. He holds my hand and I take notice as to how weird his hand feels around mine while derricks hand was more .. Nice

"That's Gina, and that's May, that's Asphodel. Over there there's Harris, Nick and Derrick !" He said as my eyes widen at seeing them. I know I will probably sound mean, but I didn't really enjoy hanging out with Max as much as hanging out with Derrick. Harris notices me and smiles as he waves me over to where he is, Nick joins in too, and I leave Max's hand to walk over to them, except.. I notice Derrick's sulking face and I turn around, if it pisses him off I'm not going to piss him off, though I wonder, what did I do to piss him off.

Derrick? What's the matter
