NICHOLAS POV:

Walking into that girl was honestly an experience I wasn't used to. I never paid any heed to any girl besides my girlfriend, unless I accidently ran into one like her.

She was unbelievably beautiful, no doubt about that. Here I thought I had only eyes for Rebecca, but that all changed when I saw the girl named Madison.

Her emerald green orbs were captivating and staring into them were like a spell. Anyone could easily be hypnotized and drowned into the depths of her beauty.

I scolded myself for the thoughts I was having about a girl I didn't even know, only her name. Feeling like this about a girl other than Rebecca, I was in disbelief.

There wasn't one time when another girl even got close to what she was to me. I loved Becca, more than anything in the world, though I couldn't help but find interest in Madison.

When I walked into my first period, I sat down and found her once again. She was only a few seats up, and she seemed distracted by something.

We caught eye contact a few times throughout the class, but I simply ignored the feelings that stirred up when I got caught up in those eyes of hers.

My friends sat beside me, and Jason started talking about something with us. I couldn't concentrate on what he was saying, my head was somewhere else...but I tried my best to not think about a thing that revolved around her.

This was definitely a challenge though, because my mind was determined. It took a lot of distractions to finally forget about earlier, and I couldn't be more thankful when I did. I didn't want to think about anyone else if it wasn't my angel.

After school I hung out with Andrew, Max, and Ryan, a few friends from football. Jason went to hang out with Jaleena, Caleb was having a bad hangover, and the rest of the guys were occupied with other things I didn't even think to ask about.

"Dude, what's up with you?" Max suddenly called out.

I snapped my head in his direction and looked at him in confusion. It took me some time to realize he was speaking to me. "Nothing, just...thinking" My response didn't ease the suspicion and curiosity that was brewing in my friends.

"About what?" He asked me, arching his brow up.

"It doesn't matter...can we talk about something else be-" I tried to change the subject, but he was not letting up without answers.

"Don't try and change the subject, we all know something's up now...what is it?" They all looked at me, and I started to feel uneasy under my friends threatening gazes. They gave me the "I dare you to lie to us" look...

"Do I really have to?" Without giving it much thought, I pouted like a little boy but they seemed unfazed by it all.

"Oh for fuck's sake, don't give us that look..." Ryan complained.

"Just tell us already man, we won't leave you alone until you do!" Andrew followed suit with the other guys.

I was annoyed by this point that I had to share information like this. How could I tell them that I was thinking about another girl that wasn't Rebecca? I trust them of cos, but It's too embarrassing to talk about.

"Spit it out...we ain't got all day!" Max wasn't giving up and that made me even more agitated.

I sharply inhaled a deep breath and let it out, closing my eyes and tried my best to find something to say. I knew they could look right through me and tell I was lying, so I decided to tell them the truth.

"I saw this g-girl, and... s-she got...my attention," I admitted to my friends.

They all looked at each other and back to me as if they'd seen a ghost. I was sitting trying to make sense of their reaction. From here, it seemed they were surprised...

"You what?!" Max exclaimed with wide eyes.

"Oh you're dead meat man!" Andrew snickered.

"Please don't remind me!" I groaned and hid my face with my hands.

"What so special about this girl that caught your attention?" Max and Ryan both raised their eyebrows, obviously perked with curiosity about her.

"She was really beautiful. I don't like her though, it was just...nothing" I stopped myself, because I didn't know what I was feeling at this moment. I couldn't explain what I felt and I wasn't gonna try.

"Noo, tell us...it was something if she has you all red in the face," Ryan wiggled his eyebrows like a creep, and I turned my face up in disgust.

"Chill guys, it's nothing okay. Just let it go already"

They looked at each other and Max spoke. "Fine we will let it go for now since you seem too uncomfortable, but just know this conversation isn't over buddie..." He smirked and the other guys gave me weird looks.

"Yeah whatever..." I rolled my eyes at how desperate they were to know about her. She wasn't special, just a girl. Or at least that is what I convinced myself to believe.

We ended the discussion about the girl named Madison, and finally hung out. I grabbed a beer from the ice chest from the kitchen to let my nerves loose. I was too stuck up and I needed to be chill.

*********

Later came and I left the guys half sober. I was a little buzzed but I was sober enough to make it back to my place safely. I stayed on my phone for a while, mostly scrolling through my social media accounts.

For some reason, I got curious about her again. I wonder if she had social media, or if she was the type of girl who called that a waste of time.

I looked her name up, which was a fail since I didn't have any clue about her except for her first name. Looking through a few pages that belonged to people, I found a video of her posted. It was the same video from that night at the party.

In the comments, I found a death threat from a page that looked familiar. I tapped it, and found the girl I saw her hanging out with.

I scrolled down through the photos that were posted, and found one of a few people. In the crowd of people in the photo, Madison was one of them.

She had a bright smile on her face at something a girl was rambling on about. I scanned her face and she genuinely seemed happy. Well until the party incident... 

Sighing, I put my phone down and closed my eyes. Since when did I get so interested in her or any girl for that matter? This was so not like me..

I got up and took a shower, putting on a simple white shirt and some night pants. I set my phone down on the table, and went into my small kitchen.

Opening the refrigerator, I grabbed some leftovers from yesterday's takeout and warmed it in the microwave. I wasn't one to cook food, and when I tried my food tasted like shit, so this was pretty much the usual.

When the microwave beeped, indicating my food was done heating, I took it out. I ate my food and went back to my room.

A little later, I picked my phone back up and texted my girlfriend.

Me: Hey babe, what are you up to?

I looked at my phone multiple times, waiting on a reply but it never came. I wondered what my angel was doing, I felt ashamed for my thoughts being based on another female.

Almost an hour passed since I sent my message, and still didn't get a response. It didn't even show that the message was read. "Maybe she's busy or something?" I told myself.

Tugging the ends of my hair with my hands, I was a little distressed. Laying my head back, I fell on my bed and stared at the ceiling. It seemed to interest me all of a sudden..

I closed my eyes and a smile played on my face recalling the time me and Rebecca went to the movies not too long ago. It was a scary movie we decided to watch that day, and I had to hug and assure her it was all fake throughout the entire movie.

Was Rebecca mad at me? I would have to talk to her tomorrow at school and clarify why she was being distant. I hope she wasn't mad at me though. Hopefully she wasn't.

I kept my thoughts on moments I shared with my girlfriend, every single laugh and hug. I missed her and it hadn't even been two days since I'd seen her.

It was nighttime already, and I was already ready for bed. I went to sleep early that night, besides I was tired anyways. It wasn't easy falling asleep, but eventually I did.

I just wanted the time to pass by so morning could come already and I could see my Becca...

"Sometimes you think you have found the one for you, until someone else comes and steals your heart without knowing. You then wonder...are we really meant to be?"
