Escaping his cage, I walked out into the busy hallways, back to my mess, the mess in my own head. I blankly walked through the corridoors lost in my thoughts and disturbed by the noise.

I swear it scared the hell out of me when he locked us in the locker room. It gave me chills to see him go to that extent. Why can't he leave me alone? I was stupid to get attracted to him if I ever did. But that is what his mere presence does to me. I feel unsure of my feelings. I feel lost in his affect on me. I feel like I am ready to dwell into long arguements with him, get mad at him.

And I feel that I actually liked it when he came after me like that. Chasing me down to the locker room. Forcing me to stay and talk to him. It gave me tingles to see him get mad over me for avoiding him and I was proud of keeping my stubborn self ahead of my vulnerability.

That was undeniable to me now. It was a big fat truth that Nick wasn't as easy to resist as much as I assumed it to be!

I was actually glad that he chased me down the hallway, to stop me. To make me listen to him. I was drawn towards his flirty tactics on me but I knew better and always made sure to pretend like I was unwary and unaffected. But the truth was otherwise. I could almost melt down under his hold, under his words. It was a bitter sweet feeling that flowed through me, and I was seemingly  delighted by it.

I was least bothered about anybody barging through or finding us out in our intimate position, lying on the floor. I realised, and relished the fact how desperate he was to get me to stick with him and listen to him.

But given that, the harsh reality was still hanging down my throat like a knife. No matter what I felt, no matter how much I justify, I was not any relieved of facing my tempered best friend. The look in her eyes were that of contempt and betrayal. She expected me to confide in her and tell her about why I tried to hide it, when there was nothing at all to even tell about.

She felt insulted. And above that she felt bad for Cameron.

Could I have a chance at trying to make it clear with Cameron? What did I owe to him anyway? We just met but he was a good guy. I was just getting to know him. Well, he was not really from our college, but that didn't matter, so long as he was being nice and harmless.

And Nick? He just ruined my chances with him. He didn't have to bring his stupid rivalry into my business. I don't know what he was upto? He always confused me. I don't know what to think of him. But, I don't find it in me to repel from him anymore, like I did before. That's weird. I know. And I need to try harder to keep a safe distance from him from now on.

But right now, as I made my way through the corridoors again, I realised that I had been missing on something.

Library! I had to go to the library after lunch!!

"Oh crap!" I looked at my wrist watch and I was late. Damn! I had agreed with Samantha to catch up with her after lunch for our assignment. Shit, I totally forgot. No actually, he made me forget it! He got me late.

I'll lament about that later!

I hurriedly walked through the hallway, taking the bend towards the library section. I was feeling a little guilty for being late by almost fifteen minutes. I hoped she wasn't pissed at me.
