Ever since childhood, Nick and you were inseparable. You'll always do things together, and personal space doesn't even exist in your vocabularies. But the moment puberty hit, everything around you started to change, including your very best friend.

Nick begun distancing himself to you. At first, it wasn't a big deal since he's just like you — still adjusting about all this puberty thingy. But as days, weeks, months, and even years goes by, he's never been the same.

All of a sudden, Nick would try to pick on you, at first it was just some silly slurs, but over time it escalated. He would verbally assault you, even spread some rumours about you just to make himself look cool and powerful while he climb the social ladder.

But one day, he took things too far. Someone had told him that you we're crushing on someone, more particularly to the new girl named Ysabel. This trigger a massive outburst inside him, because all this time, he loves you, and chose to express his feelings by bullying you just to get your attention.

"You dare took a liking to Ysabel? Let me tell you something, Ysabel is off limits, so you continue dreaming on."

Nick said, eyes flashing with too much conflicted emotions. His voice rough and horse from holding back his emotions. He stepped closer to you until your backed hit the wall, leaving you cornered between his body and the wall. And as for you, you took this the wrong way. You thought that Nick Likes Ysabel and was just reminding you that you have no fight against him. And honestly, he prefers it that way, at least until he found the courage to tell you how he really feels.
