It's the same day of the game. I'm not sure if I should go.

My dad helps me carry the last box into my apartment. It's all really nice. He wasn't lying about putting me in a five star place.

My dad walks up to me and gives me a hug. "You got everything you need here. Kitchen, bathroom, living room, your room, even with two extra rooms, and the best part you have a nice view of the city."

I look around my apartment, it's all very nice. "Thanks dad."

"You're welcome Nik. I would do anything for you."

He looked down at his watch.

"I have my first interview in thirty minutes. I got to run."

As he's running out of the apartment he yells "No boys yet Nik! I want this apartment to be a no boys area! He stops running. "Actually I want to meet him first."

I laugh at him. "Yeah Dad! Nothing to worry about! At least not til later!" I tease.

"Nikki Adaline Anderson!" He yells from the car.

Woah. He hasn't said that to me since, forever.

"I want to atleast meet him first." He continues with a shy tone. "Alright I'm going! See you later alligator!"

"Good luck dad!".

I walk back into my apartment and start to unpack my clothes in my room.

It feels good to be alone. I'm in my own place, no one bothering me. It's quiet. So I turn on my speakers and hook up my phone.

I like the band Journey. I click on their album.

I changed into a big shirt. No pants. Then started to dance around the apartment. I slid down the hallway with my broom and strung it like a guitar.

Towards the end of the song I didn't even realize that my blinds were open. An old married couple were clapping their hands to the beat of my music. In their room, in an another building.

I was in shock. While I was walking towards the window to close the shades the old lady yelled "You're a great dancer young lady."

Oh my lord. I just made a fool of myself. I held up my hand and said thank you back in return. And closed my blinds.

That wasn't embarrassing at all.

I heard my music turn off. So I run to my room and looked at my phone. My phone was ringing. The collar ID said Loren.

"Heyy!" I'm out of breath while running to my room.

"Hey Nikki! I was wondering if you wanted to be picked up to go to the game with me remember? You wanted to go." Loren says in excitement.

Loren knows I don't want to go because of Garrette. But I'll go just for her. " Yeah I'll go with you. But you need to pick me up in my apartment."
"Apartment!? Honey you didn't tell me anything about an apartment." She yells through the phone.

"I'll explain later. Love you!" She knows that I love her.

"Yeah huh, you better. Send me your address. And be ready in fifteen."

"Alright see you then." I hung up the phone.

What should I wear? Looking into my suitcase.

I picked out nice dark skinny jeans, a white tanktop, my black vans, and a necklace that I got from forever 21.

I straightened my dark brown silky hair. And did my makeup.

I checked my phone and Loren messaged me.

Loren: Are you sure that this is your address? Bc I see Garrette walking out of the same building.

Garrette lives here too!?! I thought he lives in the house near my dad's?

Me: Woah woah woah. I'll get out of the building when he's gone. Tell me when he's gone.

Loren: He's not gone yet.

Loren: He's messaging someone.

Loren: Oh wait now he's in his car.

Loren: Okay he's gone.

Rushing out the door I grabbed the key to my apartment and locked up.

Damn it. I forgot my perfume.

Opening up the door again and running to my room. Spraying on my Victoria Secret Mint scent.My dad tells me I smell like cupcakes, not mint. I get confused because I already know what it is.Running down the stairs and out of the building I see Loren in her Infinite 35 coupe. God I love her car.

Jumping into her car she says "We are gonna be late. Then we are going to be waiting in line."

"Loren don't get your panties in a knot." We both laugh. "We are fashionably late."

Loren looks at me. "Yeah we are gonna walk up in the football game like models. By the way you smell good."

"Thank you! Kind lady." I look at her. Shes wearing similar things like me.

《《《《《《《《《《《《《《《《《《

Loren locked up her car and we started to walk to the stadium. It was full.

We stood in line and Loren waved back to the people who waved at her. I knew that this was all knew to me but it felt like home.

"Hey Nikki!" Coming from a mixed group of girls and guys.

I smiled and waved back.

"Alright where do you want to sit?" Says Loren

I look around to see if there are any open spots in front of the stands. "Oh look. Right there. It's easier for us to see and get out."

"Yeah! Let's go Falcons!" Loren yells as we get to two open seats in the front.

God Loren is such a cheerful person. But that's my best friend right there.

She taps on my thigh. "I'm going to go get something to eat? Do you want anything?"

"Just nachos." I pause. "Please and thank you!"

"Yeah your welcome Nikki."

The game has just started and guess who I see. Garrette. He's the quarterback, of course he is. I look to the cheerleaders and guess who's the captain? The same girl that kissed him in the library. Letting out a big sigh.

Garrette passes the football to a wide receiver. That guy catches it and runs to the end zone. Touch down! The score is 32-16.

"Here is your nachos." Loren hands them to me. "Thank you. I wouldn't know what I would do with out you." I say while taking a huge nacho and biting down on it.

"Yeah yeah yeah love you too." A guy walks up to me and Loren and tries to get a chip.

Loren smacks his hand. "These are nacho-urs."

I couldn't help but to laugh. "Dude your so cheesy." I said.

"Your welcome! Yes I know I am. And so are your fingers." She points at my hands.

The tip of my index finger and my thumb are covered in cheese. Oh yeah this is so lady like. "Hey don't judge." Licking my finger tips and shoving her with my elbow.

"So how are you and Mr. Ladycatcher?" She asked.

I'm watching the game while we were talking. "Oh him?" Pointing at Garrette as he's running down the field. "We still haven't talked."

"That asshole! Is she one of he cheerleaders over there?"

I nod my head. "Yep she's right there." Pointing at her.

Loren screams and she scared me. I nearly dropped my food. "My nachos!"

Then she starts to laugh. "You have nothing to worry about. When ever she sees a guy that she likes or even thinks he's cute, she will take the chances on kissing them." Loren nods her head.

"And you couldn't have told me this before? Before I almost had a mental melt down for him?"

"Well my bad that I didn't know which fucking cheerleader it was." She took a sip of her drink. "Ever since I saw her I've always wanted to punch her in the face."

"Okay. Sorry. Should I talk to him?"

"Yes! You should! Now you have the chance to." She lifted her eyebrow at me. " You guys do live in the same building."

Holy shit. I just remembered that he does. "Out of all the places my dad put me in the same place with Garrette Richardson."

"Oh yeah your dad definitely knew that he lived there too. Tonight after the game I feel like we should go to this party. Everyone is talking about it and we should go." Loren suggested.

"I had plans tonight but since I have no food in the fridge i'll go." I'm not that much of a party person but it seems like fun, Loren will be there with me.

"And your plans were?" She raised an eyebrow. "Catching up on The Walking Dead." Loren laughed.

"I'm pretty sure that Rick won't be losing an arm from those zombies anytime soon. You'll be fine." We both laughed.

She nudged me. "C'mon cheer with me."

We both stood up and screamed. "Let's go Falcons!" Everyone was looking at us and some groups stood up and cheered along with us.

《《《《《《《《《《《《《《《《《《

The final score for the game was 40- 28. The ending of the game was pretty intense even though we were still ahead. Loren and I were driving to the party. "Should I just be your designated driver?" I asked Loren.

"No! I'm going to be your designated driver. You've had a rough week, loosen up Nikki. I want you to have fun tonight."

"I'm not gonna drink unless you do." I said. "Fine. I'll remind myself to call a cab because you know what happens when you drink and drive. Know what I mean." Loren promises.

"Oh yeah. I'll try to remember that too. I don't plan to wake up in a hospital bed this weekend. Or anytime soon."

"Neither do I. Nor does anyone else." Loren agreed.

Even though I just met Loren she's like my long lost twin sister. Always on my side with anything I need and she watches out for me.

We got to the party. A lot of other people were just coming in too.

"Geez. People these days need to start parking right in front of a house. There was barely a spot to park." I complained.

"Yeah your telling me. Your driving next time we go some where. But not today." Loren looked at me as we were walking on the front lawn of who ever house this is.

I smiled back at her. "Oh you'll be fine." Loren opened the door and we walked in. The feeling of the floor when it vibrates because of how loud the music is, is pretty cool.

Two guys with football jerseys on came up to us and handed us drinks. "Are you ladies willing to come dance on the dance floor with us?" One of the players asked with the number 23 on it.

Loren got a phone call and went to go to a quiet area of the house. Well it looks like its my turn to speak up then. "I'll just take this."I smiled at him and I took the cup out of number 23's hand. "And I'm going to walk away."

I lifted up the drink and tilted my head back chugging it all down. I was done with my first cup. And I grabbed the other guys drink and chugged it down too. I started to go towards the kitchen and got me another full cup.

Before I knew it the other boy followed me. "Wait I didn't even catch your name!" He grabbed my hand. "Don't grab my hand like that."

I looked at his jersey and it had the number 00 on it. "Sorry that my friend confronted you like that. But what is your name?" 00 asked.

"Brandon." He held out his hand for a handshake. "Nikki." I shaked his hand.

Wow. He has a firm handshake.

Brandon was still holding my hand for another 3 seconds or so. Then he let go. I looked up at his face and he looked confused. "Wait, Nikki? Garrette Nikki?" He asked.

How does everyone know about me? Most of the people that confront me I don't even know.

"What do you know about me and Garrette? He hasn't talked to me since like a week ago. And how does everyone know about me and him?" I looked Brandon dead in the eye.

"Other people probably just know about you guys because both of you talk to each other."

"Other girls talk to him too. Why does everyone assume that about me?"

"I've known Garrette all my life. He's like my sibling to me. When I see him talking to you its not like hes talking to other girls. I don't know much about you other then your name is Nikki but Garrette thinks your beautiful. He's told me before. And he told me that hes been wanted to talk to you." Brandon explained.

My jaw dropped.

Behind Brandon was Loren. She was signaling me to go to her. "Well hey thanks for telling me all of this but I need to go. Here's my number." He gave me his phone and I put my number in his contacts. "Bye!"

I was trying to walk to Loren but I couldn't walk straight. When I heard the music I started to dance.

We got together and someone lead both of us were everyone else was dancing. I was actually having fun.
