Firsts: Nicole+Calum

"Here?"

"No. More to the right."

Shifting the Blink-182 poster over, my arms were dying. Shoulders aching, forearms burning, fingers trembling. In the dark room only illuminated by soft golden fairy lights, it was really hard for me to see where I was going. "How about now?"

"Left."

"How about now?"

"Right."

"God dammit," I spat, letting my arms fall to my side, blood gushing into them. The poster laid there on the wooden floorboards miserably. I whipped around, looking at Nicole. She laid smack-bang in the middle of my bed, with her dark hair fanned out beneath her as her legs were resting against the wall, not even facing me. "For God's sake, you were just fucking around with me for the past 10 minutes?"

Her hands grasped a baby blue Nintendo furiously whilst she mashed the keys as if her life depended on it. She looked super into the game, her brown eyes never leaving the screen. "This gym leader is really good, god damn. I'm already on my seventh potion," She said, rolling onto her stomach, her eyes glued to the screen. "What the fuck! This bitch just whipped a Lanturn out! Rude."

I shook my head, feeling my unruly hair flop by the sides my of my face. I had been meaning to cut it, but Nicole wasn't letting me since both her and Ashton were incredibly convinced I'd look good in an afro. Oddly, I felt obliged to listen to her. It was a weird feeling I felt around her, it was insanely addicting. Besides the obvious fact that I did like her, it was something new that I had never felt before with previous girlfriends that kept growing stronger and stronger as days passed. Her presence was something nobody could miss.

Jumping onto her, she didn't make the groan that I managed to constantly emit, only producing silence that was disturbed by her fucking Nintendo. Was that little game of hers more important than I, her best friend? "What game are you so involved that you couldn't even bother helping me with my poster?"

"Pokemon Platinum." Images of weird creatures were reflected onto her big glasses, and she hummed softly to the tune of the battle song as if it was always in her head.

"Pokemon? As in the game with the animals? Is it another name for Animal Crossing?" I was incredibly confused. I had heard Michael mention it countless times but why would he play a cute animal game?

"I wasn't expecting you to know since all you play is fucking CS:GO and GTA." She chuckled, shifting so that her head was on my lap.

"Yes, because that's what 15-year-old boys do these days. I don't see you doing anything that a 15-year-old girl does," I said, peering at the bright screen. This weird fire monkey was prancing around, bobbling to the addicting yet annoying music. I glanced at the name of her... thing. "Uranus? You named your monkey Uranus?"

Nicole paused the game and sat up, the despiteful music finally cutting off. Taking a deep breath, she swiftly twisted her chaotic hair into a ponytail. "First of all, I don't conform to society's unrealistic proposed gender norms, as should you. An entire unit in gender stereotypes and you still say that? Pathetic. DiGregorio would be ashamed," She crossed her arms, rolling her eyes. "Second, I named my Infernape, not a bloody monkey, Uranus, because the world will end when Uranus blows."

By that ridiculous last sentence she was about to burst into giggles at the excuse of a joke she just created. I was not impressed at all. Slightly entertained by the fact that she found this funny, but not impressed. "The shittiest joke you've made all night, Nicole."

"Like you would know. The only comeback you say is your mom. Hey Calum, how's your day? Your mom. Hey Calum, what did you do yesterday? Your mom. Hey Calum, what's your comeback to this?"
