New Boy {W.T}

Chapter 38

  Me being the melodramatic human I am, I decided I was heartbroken, and needed ice cream.

I asked my sister to drive me to the store so I could get some and I went in, payed and brought it home.

I went up to my room, locked my door and went on to YouTube - That was short lived.

The first video suggested for me was a messy Monday video talking about the photo.

I went back to twitter, against my better judgement to see the photo was gone, and he had tweeted out that it was an old photo from an ex girlfriend, and that he got hacked.

Obviously that sounds like a perfectly good explanation.

I went to my messages to finally respond to the world again, when I saw a text from an unexpected person.

Tyler: saw things aren't working out with you and your boy? Just saw him out and about with a girl. She wasn't you.

Wait hold up, what???

Me: ha! funny!

He was just trying to make me mad for whatever reason. Until-

Tyler: Still funny?

And attached was a picture of Wesley and some girl, walking on a side walk, smiling at each other all lovey dovey.

My blood was boiling once again.

Sydney: nikki, please answer. You okay???

She called 5 times and left 3 voicemails.

Me: I think Wes is cheating on me.

Sydney: I'm coming over now.

I tapped my fingers in anticipation as I waited for her arrival.

"NIKKI?" She yelled from downstairs.

"UP HERE!"

She jogged up the stairs and walked in and sat on my chair and looked at me expectantly.

"I think he's cheating on me. Nothing else to say."

"Well I saw the picture on twitter but he explained it, that's a valid explanation, nikki. Don't be so hard on him." She reasoned.

"Yeah, exactly what I thought until I saw this-"

And I showed her the photo that I received.

She gasped.

"Oh no." Her face saddened

"Yup"

"There could still be a perfectly good reason though. I mean right?" She was trying to convince me.

"I doubt it."

"I'm sorry nichole"

"Yeah, whatever." I started to cry.

She leaned in and wiped my tears.

"No, no, no. Don't you cry. Don't do it. I'll cry" she said, as she teared up.

We have the kind of relationship where if one of us is sad, the other is too, and we can't stand to see each other cry.

"I can't help it." I cried.

She hugged me for a long time.

"Lets go out and distract ourselves." She winked.

I knew what this meant. She wanted me to distract myself with a guy. I thought about it for a moment, If this is all misconstrued, will this be cheating?

I decided no because it's not like I'm going to jump into another relationship or kiss or anything else with anyone.

"Okay."

"Great, lets go."

I started to walk out the door when she pulled me back.

"What?" I barked.

"You can't leave like that girl. You're in sweatpants and a tear stained face. Lemme clean you up."

And she did my hair, makeup and picked out an outfit for me.

"K, now lets go." I pulled her by the arm.

We got into her car and began to drive.

"Where are we even going?" I asked.

"Where everyone meets cute boys, the mall? Duh." As if it were the most obvious answer.

I shut my mouth, put my head back and listened to some jams until we were there.

We were walking in when she whispered to me,

"Remember, be flirty with your eyes. Body language is key and don't be too forward."

Oh lord.

"Got it." I smiled.

I found my first victim.

He had dark brown hair, he was tall and lanky, and he had a killer smile. Rosey cheeks, and pretty green eyes - like Wes'.

Oh shit, Wes.

A wave of sadness hit me but then I sucked it up and made eye contact.

I was talking to Sydney and glancing at him every once in a while, smiling and making sure to tuck my hair behind my ear.

He finally started coming towards me, and Sydney pretended she had to go real quick.

"Um hi." He said.

"Hey." I smiled and looked down.

"So um, this may be weird because I'm not usual like this but uh, do you and your friend want to hangout? I mean with me and my friend?"  He pointed to kid standing away from us.

"Uh, I think so. I mean yeah, sure. I'm Nikki by the way." I tucked my hair behind my ear, again.

"Oh I'm Evan." He looked down.

"You're really pretty" he blurted and then his eyes widened.

"Oh, same to you-" my eyes widened
"I mean you're cute, not pretty- uh thanks haha" I laughed it off.

Sydney returned and I introduced her and we exchanged numbers and then planned on meeting at his friends house to hang.
