   Other people had started walking into the cafeteria at that time. Nikki watched the door, examining the people that came in. She sees a girl, about the same height as her. She had red-ish brown-ish hair and it looked like she had...red eyes? Weird...it looked like she had bags under her eyes and she looked very, very tired. Nikki waves and the girl just shot her a nasty look the looked away. Nikki looked confused. Did she ever talk to her and make her upset?
   She looks at G and Phil. "Did anything happen with her? It seems like I did something to her..." She looked at the girl again. "No, nothing happened..she just doesn't...like anybody.." Phil said, looking at the girl too. G was staring at a wall, lost in thought. He was taking deep breaths and mumbling to himself, but neither of them questioned it. Phil just put a hand on his shoulder and calmly said, "It's okay. Calm down." G didn't move, but he slowed his breathing.
  While the guys were distracted, Nikki stood up and walked to the girl. She wanted to know what she did wrong. Nikki took a deep breath and approached her. Nikki stuttered out, "H-hel-" The girl shot another nasty look and interrupted Nikki. "Whaddya want, princess..?" Woah. Sarcasm. "..I..I just wanted to say hello...and I wanted to meet you.." The girl looked at Nikki, remembering what was wrong with her..So, she decided to take advantage.  "Oh...you don't remember me..? Your best friend?!" Nikki looked at her. "When I woke up, I didn't remember anything..not even myself..so, no..I don't remember you..I'm sorry.." The girl had a big smile on her face.  "Well, I'm Alexis..I've been your best friend since.." She thought for a moment. "..since..since kindergarten! We were always best friends!" Nikki looked at the two boys. Phil was still distracted trying to calm down G.
  She looks back at Alexis saying, "I think that G dude has a crush on me..." She was never told they were dating, so she assumed they were just very close friends. "Oh yeaaahh, he has a huge crush on you. Kinda creepy to be honest." Alexis still had that big smile on her face, trying to act casual.
