The Triangle

Chapter 7 ? Boyfriend

NICK:
"C'mon, you'd still have Clay and George."

Y/N:
"I don't think so. After all, you were the one who saw me first right? Besides even if they did, it wouldn't be the same without you. Plus, I love having 3 idiotic best friends. The more the merrier."

He huffed out a smile while leaning his head on mine.

Y/N:
"I'm sorry about your family situation..."

Nick nodded slowly with a frown.

Y/N:
"I think you should call her...who knows? She could miss you too."

NICK:
"Or she could block me and..." he swallowed hard, "Then I'd really have no family left..."

Y/N:
"You have your dad—"

NICK:
"Not really..." he whispered, "You know him, he's always drinking and...the whole drugs thing...he's there but...he's not really, there...one of the many reasons why I love going over to your house..."

Y/N:
"Well...you're welcome there anytime." I tilted my head up to meet our eyes.

He smiled at me.

Y/N:
"Besides, we're your family. Me, Clay, George..."

Nick nodded as his smile widened a little.

NICK:
"Thanks, Y/N."

Y/N:
"Of course...here I am, going all soft again for you. It's nauseating." I joked which made him laugh.

NICK:
"Oh, but I love softie Y/N." He whined.

I scoffed then stood up, reaching my hand out to him.

Y/N:
"Whatever." I smiled.

He grabbed my hand then we looked at each other for a moment before removing our hands.

Y/N:
"Last year of high school, then we're done with these idiots for good."

Nick nodded with a light smile.

NICK:
"I know I can get through it, as long as I'm with you."

I grinned while raising my eyebrows.

Y/N:
"Soft Nick, wait—no that sounds wrong—" my eyes widened as my smile dropped which made him burst out laughing.

The rest of the day went by in a flash. Of course, everyone still stared at me like I was the most fascinating thing in the world but I shook it off.

I made it to my locker to return my English book. Once I shut it, I was met with Wilbur leaning one arm above his head against the lockers. I gasped in response.

WILBUR:
"Hello darling." He smiled, "How's your day been?"

I clenched my jaw at him as I kept silent.

WILBUR:
"Did you wanna come over tonight, darling? We could change the rumors and create a new one." He smirked.

Y/N:
"You're a senior in high school. You're 18 years old, a legal adult, do you really think I'd want a man-child to be my first?" I raised my eyebrow.

Wilbur chuckled.

WILBUR:
"You tell me." He snaked an arm around my waist which made my eyes widen.

Y/N:
"Please don't do that..." I said quietly while trying to get his arm off which made his grip tighten.

WILBUR:
"It's not my fault you look hot everyday, Y/N." he smiled, "I can't control how I feel."

I swallowed hard as my chest started to feel tingly.

MR. JAY:
"Mr. Soot."

Wilbur turned his head over his shoulder while Mr. Jay glared at him while crossing his arms.
