“what?” it was all i can say after i heard those words. I wanted to tell him i missed himtoo, but that would be just plain stupid.
“i said i miss you nic. I know i was such a jerk breaking up with you but im really sorry. And-“ his eyes looked sad and i felt my heart softened. A little.
“and?”
He sighed before saying “it was probably the biggest mistake i have ever done”
I wasnt sure if i believed him or not. Its hard to trust again, you know.
“nicole?” he stepped closer to me, and my heart is beating so loud that i think he could hear it.
“could you-uh-give me another chance?”
Another chance? Wow. I wanted to laugh at his face. After what he put me through, he thinks its that easy to give him another chance. And what? Pretend like nothing happened? The hell!
I pushed him and i walked out of the kitchen leaving him stunned.
I went to natalie’s bedroom to get rid of these uncomfortable clothes and stormed out of the house. I’ll just text natalie later.
i sighed before i drove away.

I changed into my pj’s after taking a quick shower and proceeded to brush my hair. I stared at my reflection in the mirror for a while. I breathed heavily and shook my head unattractively. “oh God” i sighed and went to my bed covering myself with my favorite pink blanket.
I typed a message for natalie saying that i already went home because i am not feeling good. Well, thats not a complete lie since i really am not feeling good after the scene with Francis. I was about to put down my phone when i felt it vibrate. It was a text from an unknown number.
Good night nicole :)
Who could this be?
Who is this please?
Another message.
Its kyle =)
I really have no idea why but that made me really smile..

“hey girl! You have to tell me why you stormed out of the house like that last night”
Natalie asked me with scrutinizing eyes while we’re sitting at our favorite spot in Starbucks. I was debating with myself if i would tell them or not.
“what happened nic? I followed you outside but you already drove away” matt said after swallowing his muffin.
I looked down and said, “i told you i wasnt feeling good right?”
“i dont believe you for a second nic. Spill”
I sighed and decided i would tell them since they were my best friends anyway.
“francis asked for another chance. I got irritated so i walked away”
“francis was there? i didnt invite him!” natalie looked furious
Mathew rolled his eyes “duh? Francis is your boyfriend’s best friend. Of course he’d be there”
“oh. Right. Sorry nic. I should’ve told kim not to bring that asshole”
“thats okay. really.” I sighed. “I just cant get it. He broke up with me so easily and he thinks he can ask me out again just like that?”
i really felt like i was underestimated. Im not some easy girl here.
“well, the question is, do you still have feelings for him?”
I was taken aback by Mathew’s question. I think i still do, deep down. But one thing is for sure, im not going back to him.
I took a deep breath and said “its not important. But im sure and i have completely made up my mind that i do not want him back”
Yes. I dont want him back. I wont make that stupid decision again. From now on, he’s ust some sort of a nonsense nightmare. I wont know a guy named Francis. I took a sip in my frappuccino.
“so what are your plans this sembreak?” Natalie clapped her hands looking so excited.
Well, i have a very exciting plan. Atleast for natalie. Im not really sure it would work but im sure its what i want. I dont want to go “unnoticed” anymore.
“im planning to have a major make over”

As expected, Natalie got so frantic with my plan that the next day after, she went to my house very early and woke me up. She dragged me to the mall, and thats how i ended up sitting in this 10th botique we entered and watching Natalie pick clothes for me.
my stomach is really growling now. I looked at my watch and it read 12:35.
“Natalie. Can we just eat something first?”
“Wait, just one more. Try this on” she handed me a couple of dresses.
I rolled my eyes and went inside the fitting room. I put on the dress Natalie gave me and i stared at my reflection in the mirror.
Wow. Its really pretty. The dress, i mean. I wonder if the dress matches me. What if i look too “trying hard”?
“Nic, come out already”
I opened the door and revealed myself to Natalie.
“wow. You look awesome”
“youre just saying that Nat” i laughed.
Natalie placed both her hands in my shoulders and looked staight into my eyes.
“you are pretty Nic. You really really are” her lips stretched into a smile and i smiled too.
