Nicole's eyes widened as she heard the accent dripping from Nico's voice. Ash's mouth was hanging open, I won't be surprised if drool was already pooling from her mouth. And Amanda removed her eyes from what she's doing and gaped.

"Is that him?" Nicole whispered not so quietly.

I nodded and stood up hastily. I cleared my throat. "Nico, these are my friends. Amanda, Nicole, and Ash," I smiled wearily. "Guys, this is Nico, my Calc partner."

"YOUR WHAT?!"

I cringed and turned to Nico. "Excuse us for a moment," I faced my friends, "What the hell guys,"

"But you didn't told us you were with the hot new british guy!"

"Its not my fault that you guys were so caught up fantasizing about him, that I didn't even got the chance to share my own thoughts,"

Ash huffed and I scowled at them. I turned back to Nico who was staring weirdly at us.

"Um, so what were you gonna say?"

Nico and I decided to meet at Mt. Cloud, a local library in downtown Manhattan after school to start our project. Ash, Nicole, and Amanda wouldn't leave my back until I tell them the detailed parts on how I met the so called hot-british-guy. And so I promised to have a Skype date with them tonight.

Last period rolled down and I haven't seen Joshua ever since English lit, when we saw Cassidy-who, I might add- just had a cat fight with cheer captain Claire, which has just been confirmed by the school principal.

Poor Cassidy, I just hope Joshua would make a fast move on getting her back.

I made my way to the school parking lot and hopped on my bike. I was about to put my helmet on, when I nearly choked, seeing the scene not so far away from me.

I had to rub my eyes and literally pinch my arm three times to make sure that I wasn't dreaming.

It was Cassidy. Kissing someone.

Wait, let me rephrase that; It was Cassidy, making out with Joshua.

When I say Joshua should make a fast move on getting her back, I didn't mean it this fast.

They were standing near the wall, luckily the school was almost empty since it was already quarter to 5 and I just had some things to do, so I got out this late. Key word; luckily.

I was at a spot where they couldn't see me. I highly doubt they would notice me, given at their state.

I'm always confused by boys. One time they would say they love you, then the next they would cheat on you. And then they would say they're sorry, but sometime in the future, surely they'll do it again. Its just like a cycle.

I immediately put on my helmet and sped off, I don't want my eyes to burn, knowing Joshua and Cassidy are the cause.

I arrived at Mt. Cloud at 5:05pm, I didn't got the chance to tell Nico about the exact time. We just talked about after school, so he must be already here.

I searched the small library for a certain dark-haired geek. Books lined the walls and a counter was placed at the far left corner. Lamps with yellow lights lit up the place, giving it a warm glow. The sweet aroma of coffee and cinnamon hit my nostrils. It was my first time to go here so I didn't know they had a coffee shop inside. It was a nice place to do a project. Definitely a nice place.
