CHAPTER-3

 Now don't get me wrong I'd be delighted to be in the same room as a hot guy like him but seems too cranky and if I DO happily oblige to what my mom just suggested he'll most probably take it the wrong way. So I put on an act of being annoyed at taking him to my room and asked him to follow me.

Obviously I didn't take him to my room as it was thoroughly messy with my socks on the floor, chocolate wrappers and empty (obviously) chips packets on the bed...you get the picture and the next best option was the study room which consisted of a table, chair, books (duh) and just random stuff scattered here and there at least it was visually pleasing than my room.

I told Nicholas to sit on the chair if he wanted to which he just grunted, sat and looked around and started fiddling with some pencils on the table.

'Don't touch my stuff' I said to which he just rolled his eyes and continued playing with it. Annoyed I moved over and snatched the pencils out of his hand as expected rolling his eyes he looked around the table he spotted the one thing that should NEVER be "spotted"... my diary (yeah I have a diary get over it).

Nicky (I think that's what I'm gonna call him now on) smirked and seized the diary blocking my feeble attempts at snatching it back and started flipping through the pages. Now the thing is I rarely write in my diary and the only things I ever record are the most embarrassing moments that I have unfortunately suffered through just for future reference and so I don't repeat it.

Suddenly "Old McDonald" starts blaring through my phone and I feel my ears heat up as I grab my phone off the table. Through my peripheral vision I could see Nicky's eyes widen in amusement as he stared at me. I am going to murder Hailey for setting that awful ringtone and being the tech geek that she is I can't even change the ringtone into something else.

Hailey Manners, Abigail Spencer, Sophie Reed and I (Krystal Evans I just felt like you must know everyone's full names I don't know why, just play along) have been best friends since we were seven although in the beginning Hailey and I hated each other's guts but now among the three I'm the closest to Hailey (Hay is what we call her as its similar to her name and she ate hay once when we all went to a farm from school... as a dare). Hailey is a pretty girl with a petite frame, dirty blonde hair and green eyes.

I had changed 3 schools in my entire schooling and always ended coming back to Silver Wood High. But for Hails that wasn't the case she had to switch schools in sophomore year as her dad got transferred and since then she hasn't come back to Silver Wood we all miss her terribly especially me as we both were the closest.

Hails can't call us that often all thanks to the hectic schedule she has in "Mount Oaks High" (I don't know what's with the nature obsession for schools in our area) but we chat almost 24/7 so that's okay.

Now that a call is coming from Hails herself I HAD to talk to her its almost been forever since we talked but I can't leave Nicky alone in the room as he would definitely go through my diary which by the way I managed to grab it back from him.

I glared at him and said," Look I have to pick this call and don't touch my things while I'm gone."

"Sure... I'll try but who IS "Zerena" I mean you kept on switching the gender while writing. One second it's a "he" and another it become a "she" so is it a girl or a guy?" he smirked at me.

"Zerena" was actually a code name my friends and I keep for Zeke and I use it in my diary especially for situations like the one I'm currently facing. But with the knowing smirk Nicky was giving me I'm pretty sure he figured out that "Zerena" is a guy... I'm crushing on considering how this name comes up in every page of the diary.

I didn't respond to his query and just rolled my eyes at him. Once again my phone started ringing which involved my repeated humiliation as it almost seemed as though the ringtone was getting louder with each ring. I glared at Nicky again, gestured to shut his mouth and picked up the call.

Bad decision I had forgotten how Hails greets us when she call any of us ...with a loud, deafening scream of "TACOS!!!" (I don't really know why that's how we all greet each other on the phone. Soph started it and after that it just kinda stuck).

"Tacos..." I weakly responded.

"What's up Krissie? Why aren't you screaming back "TACOS!!!" she once again screamed into my ear causing me to flinch and move the phone a few inches away from my ear.

"Uh... I ... umm... I'm not alone so... *cough* guyinvicinity *cough*" I said.

Luckily for me she understood and said, "Oooo where you at though? A mall or something? Is he cute? Is he tall? Around our age?" I rolled my eyes and then realized she can't see me rolling my eyes and rolled my eyes at that... (Yeah a lot of rolling eyes almost saw my brain).

"I'm at home and I apparently have a new neighbor, I choose to not answer the next two questions and yeah he's our age" I said.

I connected my earplugs and took out the camera app on my phone and pretended to just scan around the room and I successfully and discretely took a picture of Nicky who was playing something on his phone. Hails wanted to see how this neighbor of mine looked so she asked me to prove my spy skills or whatever and send a candid of the guy.

Obviously I can't ask him to pose for me so I started telling Hails how my mom moved around the furniture in the guest room and how it all looks different.

"Take a picture and send it to you?" I asked her. "Sure gimme a minute let me take my camera...."
Saying this I opened my camera app and started taking a video and casually moved my phone around.

When I reached Nicky he obviously HAD to look up from his phone and see me taking the video. He smirked at me, waved at the camera and even had the audacity to blow a kiss!

I gasped and clicked my phone shut not failing to save the video though, I couldn't afford to take a picture or video of Nicky again.

"Aw man that was my bad side!" he paused "Just kidding I don't HAVE a bad side, I'm hot from all angles." He laughed at his own lame joke making me sigh in exasperation.

"I was just sending my friend how I rearranged the room and I happened to capture the ugliest creature while doing so." I retorted but who am I kidding the guy's hot but unfortunately he's aware of this fact.

"Nicky! Come on its time to go home we didn't finish unpacking and if you want your dinner early I suggest you start at once." Delia shouted.

"Finally! Thought I was gonna die in here" Nicky mumbled under his breath.

"Well it was a pleasure meeting you too "NICKY" "I barked (not literally duh).

As we both started moving towards the door in a flash Nicky grabbed my diary from off the table and made a dash for the door. It took me around 3 minutes straight to understand what just happened and by then he was far from my reach and probably reading it.

"NICHOLAS!!!" I yelled in rage. That's it Nicholas freaking Parker you have messed with the wrong person.

(Sort of I guess... I mean I'm probably not going to do anything to him really ...)
