It had been the next day after Nick found out what Jamie was hiding.

At school during biology. Nick is sitting in his seat and he sees Jamie walking in.

Nick's POV

"Hey Jamie."

"Oh.... hi."

"Are you ok?"

"Yeah."

"I feel like you've been trying to avoid me this whole week."

"I'm not..."

It's obvious that she's avoiding me. She's not even making eye contact. She looks nervous and... scared.

"Are you free after school today?"

"Sorry but I have to get home right away."

"It'll be quick! Please? I'll leave you alone after."

"Okay, 2 minutes then."

After school

"What do you want Nick?"

"Why do you always wear long sleeves?"

"W-what?"

"Why do you always wear long sleeves?"

"Uh..uh.. it's cold."

"We live in Florida, it's always warm."

"Yeah, but it's been cold recently."

"Are you hiding something?"

"No, what do you think I could possibly be hiding?"

"I don't know... can you roll up your sleeve?"

"What! Why?"

"I just want to see something."

"Why can't you look at yours?"

"I'll leave you alone if you roll it up."

"Umm, I gotta go my dads here!"

As Jamie tries to run, Nick grabs her wrist. He rolls her sleeve up himself.

"What are these marks?" I ask her.

"Uh uh... they're just.... birthmarks!"

"Yeah, they're birthmarks!"

"Are you sure?"

"Yes! Now why do you keep questioning me?"

"I don't know.. maybe because they look more like cut marks!"

"You know what Nick? I thought you were different, but your just a jerk like every other guy here." 

"Look I'm sor-"

"Save it! I don't want to here anything you have to say! If you did like me then you would've respect my privacy! And how did you even know I had some kind of mark on my wrist?"

"Uh...."

"Oh my god! Were you spying on me??? I know I heard something outside my window but I thought it was just squirrels and the wind! I can't believe you'd do something this creepy!"

"It wasn't me! It was someone else."

"Oh so you hired someone to do it. I see now."

"Wait no!"

"Goodbye Nicholas."

What have I done? She hates me now.
