All Alone

Chapter 3: Nick

Nick's POV

I don't know what I was thinking when I kissed Chloe. I mean it really started as a bet but when I kissed her it didn't seem like a bet.

"Nick you're home early," my mom said once I walked in the door.

"Yeah Justin took Victoria home today," I said. I sat on the couch thinking.

"Whatchya thinkin about honey?" My mom asked when she sat down next to me.

"Nothin," I sighed.

"Tell me," she whined like a two year old.

"How do you know when you like someone or maybe even really like someone?" I asked. Regretting it as soon as the words left my mouth.

She squealed like a little girl. "Who does my little baby have a crush on?" She asked.

"No one I was just wondering because one of my friends thinks he likes someone," I said trying to sound cool. I knew it was a terrible lie but whatever.

"Well, this friend will think about whoever he likes most of the time. He'll get butterflies in his stomach when he's around her," she said.

"Thanks I'll make sure I tell my friend," I said getting up to go to my room.

"Who does this 'friend' like?" My mom asked.

"He likes Chloe," I said and walked to my room.

I decided to text Chloe.

Nick: Hey

Chloe: What do u want??

Wow she seems happy that I'm texting her!

Nick: I was just wondering when u wanted to go out

Chloe: Can't this weekend🙁, maybe Friday next week?

Wow she really doesn't like me!

Nick: Yeah sure

Chloe: See you Monday😄

Maybe she likes me a little? She probably still doesn't believe me about the whole it wasn't a bet thing, but whatever.
