Right Thru Me

Chapter 1

~Nicki~

"He's doin it again" Candice said as we sat down for lunch.

I rolled my eyes with a sigh before I turned to see Willy across the cafeteria talking to Mariah and Kim. This was the third time this week I've seen him talking to them. He knows that I don't like them. They spread rumors about me all the time and its always about me having some sort of plastic surgery. And its super embarrassing that he nonchalantly flirts with them in front of EVERYONE while his GIRLFRIEND (me) is sitting across the room, waiting for him to join her (me) for a meal. I'm so sick and tired of his games.

But still...there's just something about him that I can't let go of. He's really special to me and my first REAL relationship. We go to beaches, movies, and restaraunts; spend almost every holiday together; we even went to Paris once! We may as well get married and have six kids as soon as we graduate! The only problem is that Willy doesn't show me enough respect in public. He's so annoying. I feel like its never gonna end. And that's what I'm scared of...

"Well? Ain't you gonna say something?" Candice asked. I put my head down and stared blankly at the table.

"Nic?...."

Silence.

I stormed off with intentions of skipping the rest of my classes for the day (which were only two) and going home to watch a movie or something. I was too mad to think. I felt the quick, sharp, "trying-to-be-cute" glare of Medusa and her twin from across the cafe as I left the room. I'm almost certain that Willy saw me leave too, which is something I didn't want to happen because then he would follow me and ask me what's wrong, clearly knowing the answer. I scurried home, which was only four blocks away.

To my surprise, Willy didn't show up, nor did he text or call me and I felt that maybe he didn't see me after all. But I did kinda make a scene out of it...or at least I tried to because yanno, I'm a bit of a drama queen. Its not completely my fault though. My mom watches plenty of Lifetime Movie Network (LMN) and I'm an actress in my school's drama club, along with Willy. Ugh, there it goes again. Willy. Always has a way of creeping back into my thoughts, even when I go off track.

I heard a light tap on my window and instantly thought that it was him doing something corny like throwing a pebble at it....but it wasn't. It was probably just a tiny stick falling from a branch or something. I was still kinda mad but I've managed to calm down. I was debating on whether or not I should go back to school. I thought that I would look kinda stupid if I went back so I stayed home and took a nap.

I had a dream about Willy. Typical. But it was one of those dreams where you dream about something that actually happened to you before. I think it was like our third date. We went to the beach, early, and stayed until the sun went down. It was really romantic. He held me in his arms like a princess and walked slowly into the water until it almost reached his chest. We went for a long walk, talking about the future, our toes in the sand. That was back when things were perfect. I honestly don't know what happened since then...he just became a jerk the more we went out. Ugh. It's so frustrating.

I woke up after two hours of sleep and found myself tangled in Willy's grasp. I broke free and woke him up.

"Why are you in my bed?" I demanded. He was silent, still trying to adjust himself.

"What time is it?" he mumbled.

"Time for you to get the hell out of my house" I hissed. He looked at me in disbelief.

"What? You suddenly forgot English?"

"Nic..."

"Don't 'Nic' me!"
