okay the picture attached gives me feels because it's adorable he looks so nervous or he just got compliment and is trying to be modest about this had sent me to my grave I'm dead sorry

Also this update took so long I'm sorry I had finals this week. Also, I might not update in the next few days because I kinda just wanna take a break and relax because the semester is finally over and I don't wanna be stressed for a few days so I'm sorry.

Josh was worried because Nicole wasn't in Global. He couldn't even focus on his work. Jenna and Tyler kept teasing him about what happened at lunch.

So Josh left class. He told his teacher he was using the bathroom and somehow convinced him to let him take his bag with him and he skipped. He went to his favorite place for when he skipped - the auditorium. He liked to just sit in one of the seats in the back and just think about everything. Nobody was there to interrupt him. Nobody was there to tell him what he could and couldn't do. The lights above the stage are always on so sometimes he just stared at it.

When he walked in, there was somebody there.

"Nic?" He said. He sat down next to her.

She grabbed her bag and almost stood up but Josh stopped her.

"You okay?" He said when she agreed to sit down.

She just nodded and looked away.

"Hey..." Josh put his hand in her shoulder. "What's wrong?"

She just shook her head. Josh hated when she did this in serious situations.

"You realize you can tell me anything, right? You could even tell me that you murdered someone and I wouldn't care" Josh said. "Why'd you skip class?" He asked.

Nicole gave him a look, Like you have any room to talk, she thought.

"Wow tag and drag" Josh snapped his fingers.

Nicole looked down and let out a laugh.

"There's a smile" Josh laughed. When Nicole put her head back up, he gazed into her eyes. They where a beautiful dark brown color that to anybody else would seem ordinary but to Josh, they were so unique and beautiful. Nicole sat back into the seat and propped her feet up against the seat in front of her. Josh did the same except he put his arm around Nicole. And she was so okay with his actions.

"Do you come here to think too?" He asked.

Nicole nodded.

"Now you don't have to tell me if you don't want to, but why did you say your very first thing when I said I liked someone?" Josh asked.

Nicole didn't know what to say but she knew it she had to say something.

"I um..." She stopped for a minute to think. "I kinda just thought you would tell me because we always have those late night conversations"

Josh was looking down at her and she was just staring at the stage. He was trying his hardest not to just freak out because she just

"Well I don't know... I would've told you but I didn't know what you would say" He said.

"I would've kept it a secret. Not told the girl that you have a cute little crush on her"

"It's not a crush" Josh laughed.

They went silent for a few seconds.

"So you just thought I didn't trust you?" Josh said.
