It's Complicated (boyxboy)

2nd day is better

Nik's P.O.V-
"Bye mom, love you" I yell as I walk out the door grabbing my keys and bookbag on the way. 

"Have fun. Remember the 2nd day is better. And your better tell me how your new friends are when I get home Nik!" She yells back while she's getting ready for work. I get in the car and drive to school. I am kinda nervous about today. I walk to my locker and I can't for the life of me get my lock to open. Jamie (the cute guy who looked embarrassed when his friends walked over to me at the coffee shop yesterday) walks up and asks if I need help. 

I just smile and say "Yes. Please." And he asks for my combination and he gets it on the first try! 

"Thanks. My old school didn't have lockers. So." 

"It's fine. We have first period together. I'll walk with you if you want." I just break into a big grin trying to contain how excited I am. 

"Uh. Yeah, that would be great. Thanks." 

"So, where you from?" 

"Just a small town in Tennessee, nowhere special." 

"Interesting. So was that your mom at the coffee shop with you?" He sounded vaguely interested 

"yeah, um. It's just the two of us. So we keep up with what's going on in each others lives" we arrive at the classroom. I sit in the spot I was yesterday and realize he was who sits behind me. Hmm.

*Daydream*

The entire class period my mind was going through the last time I felt like this. The last time I had just opened up to someone. The last time I had this.. these emotions towards anyone. My ex. Me and him dated for a while. It was about, gosh 2 and a half years about till I found out he had been cheating on me with my girl best friends brother which was awkward, and complicated all at once because she didn't know until she found them.. she was the one who told me. At first I honestly thought she was joking.. she wasn't. She blasted her brother for a week until he told her that they had been 'hooking up' for about six months. SIX months. I just can't believe I was being cheated on for six months. I fell into a bit of a depression for a while. Then one day me and my family were going on a vacation and the car spun out of control my dad tried to regain control but we ended up in ongoing traffic and...

*back to reality*

"Nik are you okay?" I can see the bell has rung for next period and Jamie is looking at me with worry in his eyes. 

"What? Why wouldn't I be?" I blink again and realize I was crying. Damn it. 

"Your crying. You were spaced out all of class. At the end of class you were just silently crying, I was just worried. Are you sure your okay Nik?" He says still worry in his voice. We were the only ones left in the room besides the teacher who had their back turned. He reached his hand to my face and wiped away my tears. I smiled and stood up while walking to my next class I couldn't help but smile. Where he wiped my tears was on fire with the warmth of his hand. I kept spacing out until Lunch. Oh my God it's lunch time finally. I got really excited all in a sudden to go eat lunch I was even packed before Jenny and Luke were packed. 

"You sure wanna eat that much." Jenny smiles and looks at Luke and he just shakes his head laughing. 

"Yeah. I've been looking forward to eating my lunch all day. That's all I can think about." I say kinda nervous but also trying to convince them. 

"Okay then let's go meet Jamie and go eat." Luke says and I immediately start to get that moment stuck in my head on replay until we walk out the door and walk a few doors down to Jamie standing there on his phone and he smiles when he sees them. Us. Me? I don't know. Damn that smile and those eyes are... No. Nik don't do this to yourself again. Come on. Pull yourself together. *breath* 

"Hey. Guys." He says I am assuming to all of us. Mostly them probably. 

"I have to go get my lunch so yall go pick somewhere to sit." Luke says. 

"I forgot my lunch at home so I need to get food too. I'll just come with you." Jenny says and when I turn around Jamie rolls his eyes at them like it was on purpose that she forgot her lunch or something. 

"How are you doing? You looked upset earlier. What were you thinking about? If you want. No pressure." He says when we find a nice place outside to eat. 

"Um. I was just thinking about somethings that happened a while ago. Really it's nothing." I say and mentally face palm myself because he can obviously tell it is a big freaking deal. He saw me crying in class. He wiped the tears from my eyes for God's sake!!

He just sighs and says "okay." He goes to take a bite of his sandwich and looks at me while I get my lunch out and I swear to God our eyes locked for a good minute before Luke and Jenny come out and ruin what I thought was a moment. Maybe it's time for me to trust people again, maybe even... dare I say, start dating again?
