Nicoles p.o.v

When school let out I tried looking for catcher but I couldn't find him. I gave up looking then I texted him. He texted back a few minutes later saying to pick him up at marks. "Weird I wonder why he's at marks. Maybe that's what he wanted to talk to me about" I thought. I started driving to marks house and when I got there I honked my horn. Catcher came out a few minutes later. He had a big smile on his face and when he got it I asked him "what are you so happy about?" "Nothing".he said and his smile grew bigger. "Awh come in tell me! I told you about me and Hailey" I said. Catcher grew quiet and then said "how'd u know when you liked Hailey?" I was taken back. I didn't expect him to ask questions about it "Umm I don't know I just fell for her I guess" I told him honestly. He was quiet so I asked him "why'd you ask anyways?" He hesitated then said "I like Mark". He waited for a second then added "a lot". "I KNEW IT" I shouted. "How did you know!?!" He asked me. "I'm not blind catcher, I saw you sitting all close to him and then him helping you up and when you came out smiling like a idiot I knew I was right". I told him. He shook his head and said "I don't even know if he likes me or if hes even gay!". I laughed and tell him "trust me he doesn't like you... He loves you" "how do you know" he tells me. "I have class with him and he fell asleep so I took his phone from his bag and I saw the pictures of you two" I said. "I took those pictures" he tells me. "But he chose to keep them" I tell him. He is quiet for a minute and then ask "you really think he likes me" I nod but don't say anything. I pull into the Walmart parking lot. We get out and go inside and we check in. I'll see you after work I tell him then I head to the store return section. I sit there and listen to the customers bitch about how the product wasn't good or that they bought the wrong type or whatever. Every once in a while I see catcher stocking things or whatever but other than that I don't see much of him. I wait until the clock ticks down until our shift ends around nine thirtyish. I meet up with catcher and ask him if he needs a ride. "Um can you take me back to marks?" "You seem to be spending a lot if time with him" I told him with a wink. "I'm kind of living with him right now Nicole" he said simply. "What? Excuse me!!!" My mind screamed "explain now" I told him with a voice that he wouldn't dare to object with. He told me ever thing that has happened never the few days and I for once was quiet. "Wow" I said. And then catcher told me what was going on when I picked him up band I swear I had the biggest smile ever. "Awh now all the misfits are paired up" I told him. "Umm what about Alex?" He said. I pull up into marks driveway. "I'm pretty sure she has eyes for someone" I tell him. "What? Who!?" He asked. "A barbie" I said with some ice in my tone. I wouldn't mind if it was any other barbie but this barbie I couldn't stand and I don't know why Alex would fall for that bitch. Catcher starts laughing and I asked him "why are you laughing?" He kept laughing but he stopped so he can answer "because I didn't known that our entire group was gay". I thought about it for a minute then started laughing too. "Wow, I'll see you tomorrow" catcher gets out of the car and goes inside and i start the long drive home.
