Selena: Hi. *smiles*

Nick: Hi. *smiles back*

Selena: *reaches for his hand but can't get enough strength*

Nick: *grabs her hand* How are you feeling? *uses his other hand to push back her hair out of her face*

Selena: Not all that great.

Nick: I guess that's to be expected. *sighs* Well, hey. At least I can talk to you now. *smiles*

Selena: Yeah. I know. *struggles to keep her eyes open* I...I can't...*eyes close*

Nick: *whispers* No... *walks out of the room* She closed her eyes again. *sits down and puts his head down*

School the next day

Miley: *walks up to Nick* Hey. 

Nick: *closes his locker* *turns to face her* Uh, hey.

Miley: *smiles wide and innocently* How are you?

Nick: Not all that great.

Miley: That's a shame.

Nick: *starts walking*

Miley: *starts following beside him* Well, I heard about Selena.

Nick: Yeah, I think everyone here has.

Miley: *steps in front of Nick and smiles wide again* I figured maybe you needed someone to get her off your mind.

Nick: Miley, I'm not the cheater I used to be. I changed.

Miley: Ha! Right, right. I love your humor.

Nick: You honestly think I would do that? 

Miley: *brings her face closer to his* Well...

Nick: *backs away* You seem to have forgotten, but just to let you know, we're in school. *walks away*

Later

Bridget: *walks up to Nick* Hey.

Nick: Hey.

Bridget: Uhm...couldn't help but notice. Didn't want to say anything at lunch but...earlier...did Miley...come onto you?

Nick: She wanted me to cheat on Selena with her.

Bridget: *mouth drops* That little-

Nick: Yeah. I know.

Bridget: *silence* So do you wanna hang out later or something?

Nick: Sure. Where at?

Bridget: I don't know I just...*whispers* I really want to find out who did this to Selena.

Nick: I do too. I just don't know how.

Bridget: Have you ever thought that...Miley did it?

Nick: Of course I have...I still think she did it. 

Bridget: Meet me at the Coffee Den. My sister is the manager there...I'll tell her to keep it open a little later just for us so we can talk about it in private.

Nick: Are you sure about this?

Bridget: Positive.
