Nick parks his car near a cliff, I get out of the car first, walking near the cliff but not too close because I'm terrified of heights. The view is beautiful, I can see the whole town from up here, including our school.

"Beautiful isn't it?" Nick stands beside me, holding a cigarette between his lips and searching for a lighter in his pockets.

Why can't this guy quit smoking around me, Seriously.

"Yeah but the town looks small from up here." I cross my arms over my chest.

"It is small." He places the cigarette behind his ear when he doesn't find the lighter. Thank God.

The sun starts to set, making the sky look steamy orange, I quickly take a picture.

Once in a lifetime experience.

"I knew you would like to see the sunset from here." He looks at the view.

I had no idea a guy like Nick would pay attention to little yet perfect pieces like these. I clearly misjudged him but this day proved my judgements wrong, well, half of those judgements.

He pulls his phone out to read a message.

"Oh, shit." He says at his phone.

"What?" I ask.

"It's Amanda and Jason, apparently Jason told Amanda about hooking up with Sofia the night that we went to club 54 and now Amanda is drunk and won't let Jason drive her home." He says, still looking at his phone.

I roll my eyes at the dramatic story.

I still don't understand Amanda and Jason's relationship, Jason is clearly still going out with Sofia, I mean if I can see it, how come Amanda can't see it.

"I know she's my best friend but I seriously don't care. He should let her sleep over at his house or something." I suggest.

"They are not at Jason's house, they're at Miles's pool party." He shoves his phone back in his pocket and gives me his full attention.

What are those people made of? Weren't they partying just last night? What time do they study? Do they even study? My God.

I turn to look at him, "And you didn't go?"

"I wanted to spend this day with you and I promised my mom I wouldn't party like a wild ruthless teenager." He starts walking back to his car and I follow behind him.

Oh, so this day was all part of his master plan.

I don't respond to his previous statement, we get back in the car, I buckle up and Nick starts the engine, speeding the car like we are in a racing competition.

"Can you not drive like a mad man." I grip onto my seat, remembering the time I crashed my Dad's new car.

"Your best friend is heartbroken and you're worrying about my speeding?" He asks, smiling at me.

Is he serious?

"Yes, yes I am, my best friend can wait one more minute." I glare at him, his eyes fall to my frozen posture, lingering on my bare legs.

He looks back at the road, running a hand through his hair. "Okay, geez." he slows down and I let out a breath of relief.

After minutes of driving in silence, Nick stops in front of Miles's mansion, the loud music can be heard all the way from outside. well, at least it's not my problem anymore.

Nick grabs a jacket from the backseat and passes it to me, I hesitate before taking it and putting it on. It smells like him and I still have the last one he gave me.

When we get into the house, I notice a lot of people in bathing suits. Nick holds my hand as he shoves his way through the half naked bodies.

A song called young, dumb and broke by Khalid starts playing and I roll my eyes, some people are actually singing along to it.

"How stupidly immature, he's like literally calling them Young, dumb and broke high school kids!" I shout over the booming music.

Nick looks at me over his shoulder with a mischievous smile, "Still makes sense!" He shouts back. No it doesn't.

He let's go of my hand when we get to the pool, I spot Amanda arguing with Jason around a corner.

Here goes something.

She's wearing a pink bikini top with denim shorts while Jason is shirtless with blue shorts.

I know this is not the right moment to say this but, man do they look good together. We walk towards them side by side.

"I said I was sorry for fuck's sake Amanda, just let it go!" He screams at her.

"Hey guys." Nick waves his hand in-between them but they don't acknowledge him or me.

We're invincible.

"Can't you see? I can't get the image of you cheating on me again and again with her." She explains using her hands.

"Babe, please I said I was sorry." Jason tries to hold her hand but she doesn't let him.

You go girl.

"You always say that every time you fuck up, Jason, do you even love me?" Her voice cracks.

People say love is beautiful but why do people cry and argue? What's so beautiful about that part?

"Sweetie pie, I love you more than I love my own life, I would die for you, Amanda-"

"Okay, wait wait wait a second, I gotta stop you there and sorry for interrupting but you can't love someone more than your own life, I'm pretty sure you would already be dead if you did." I cut him off, feeling like my ego can't take any of it.

Nick gives me the shut up look.

I did say I love food more than my life earlier but trust me, I didn't mean it. Life is too precious.

"Don't interrupt, Allison." Amanda warns me with the coldest look I had never seen play on her face.

"Sorry." I raise my hands, "I was just trying to make you see how full of bull his sweet talks are-"

"Okay, but why would I listen to a girl who's never been in a relationship before, hell you've never even been kissed." she angrily snaps at me.

I hear a couple of oohs from the people around us.

She did not just drop that business in a crowd full of people, did she? How could she. I never expected something like this from her but I guess that's what I get for being Allison Parker.

And the messed up part is that, she doesn't look like she regrets saying it.

"Wow. Amanda, just WOW. You know what? I'm done. Consider this whole friendship thing done, you can finally solve your own Jason problems." I say out of anger before walking away and trying to reach Nick's car before I break down.

"Like I give a shit!" I hear her respond behind me.

God, I wish I was good at calling people names!

I run out of the house to Nick's car outside.

Getting into the car, tears roll down my cheeks, I close my eyes shut and I break down.

I feel like she just stabbed me in the heart with a very sharp knife. I'm not crying because she put my business out there, I'm crying because she literally just destroyed our friendship over a stupid boy.

Gosh, I hate crying over stupid things.

I wipe my cheeks and release a heavy breath.

I spot Nick jogging towards the car, I wipe all of my tears away and I hug his jacket tighter, looking out the window.

He gets in but doesn't start the car.

"Allison?" He whispers, I ignore him. "Allison, look at me." He says in a low tone, I don't respond or move. I feel his strong hand on my jaw before he tilts my head to look at him, I keep my eyes down.

Damnit.

"Hey." He shakes my jaw, I look at him and a tear rolls down my cheek. He wipes it away with his thumb.

Jesus.

"She's just drunk, she didn't mean any of it." He tries to convince me.

He doesn't know her like I do, no one does, actually.

"No, she was right, I don't know shit about relationships so I shouldn't have said anything." I remove Nick's hand from my face.

He sighs restlessly.

"Is it true though?" He asks.

I furrow my eyebrows in confusion, "What's true?"

"That you've never..." He trails.

"Yes, I've never been kissed." I roll my eyes at him. Of course he asked.

"Why?" He asks.

"What do you mean why?"

"I mean why? Didn't anyone try to steal a kiss from you in fifth grade? Or after a guy took you out on a date?" He asks like it's the most shocking news he has ever heard.

Well, it is kind of a little shocking, wait, why wouldn't it be shocking? most people have their first kiss when they're like ten years old.

Not really feeling like explaining myself to him, I just nod no to his questions.

"Oh." He says.

"Yeah." I respond.

It gets awkward, why wouldn't it be awkward? A few weeks ago, he was asking if I 'nerd fucked' with carl and now he's discovering that I haven't even had my first kiss yet.

Great.

"Sorry." He mutters.

"Sorry I've never been kissed?" I laugh, looking at him questionably.

"No, sorry I made you feel so uncomfortable with the touching and everything, now I understand why you don't want me near you." He says.

And he made it weird.

Do I want Nick three feet away from me? Yes, well most of the time but him agreeing to it seems weird and I know that things will be weird and awkward from now on.

Thank you very much, Amanda, I really appreciate this.

Silence takes over again.

"What is it like?" I ask, turning to look at him, he looks at me.

"What?" He questions curiously.

"Kissing, how does it feel like?" I can feel my insides cringe at my own question. He chuckles.

"I'm not a smartass like you so I don't know how to describe it but I can always just show you." He smirks teasingly.

Tempting.

"You're one horrible person, Nick." I feel myself blushing so I look out the window again.

"I know but at least I made you smile." He finally starts the car.

Yeah, he did, didn't he?
