Chapter 1

"Yeah Chrissie, I’m leaving!!" I yelled to my roommate. I walked out the door and went to the mall. I just hoped I would find something to eat. I was just starving.

Now I was here in the mall, I also could say hello to AJ. He’s a friend from Nick, a close friend of mine, we met each other at school a couple of years ago, and he works at the McDonalds.

"Hey AJ, what’s up?" He sat in the back, eating his lunch.

"Well, look who we’ve got here! How is my little Faith doing?"

"I’m okay, where’s your girlfriend? Isn’t she here?"

"Nope, we broke up a week ago." Just when I wanted to talk, Nick entered the McDonalds, together with some girl. I’ve never seen her before, but she looked…scary.

"Hey Faith!!" He almost screamed. He came over and gave me a hug and a kiss. The other girl looked pretty angry.

"Hey Nick, how are you?" AJ walked by and said hi to Nick.

"Who’s that pretty girl you’ve got there?" AJ took the hand of the girl to kiss it, but she pulled away.

"Her name is Amber, I told you about her, remember?"

"Yeah, I remember…" And they just stood there talking to each other like I didn’t exist. Amber didn’t feel welcome either.

I just looked at her. She didn’t look that great. She had dark hair and blue eyes, you don’t see that often. Her clothes were…well let’s say that I’m never gonna wear something like that. Nick on the other side was…handsome. That’s all you can say about him. He got a good taste in clothes, he’s sportive and that Amber person doesn’t look like she is gonna play basketball because she can break her nails. I guess you get the picture, they just don’t belong together.

Jealousy came over me. Why? Don’t ask me, he’s just a good friend, nothing more, nothing less.

"Faith? What do you think of it?" Nick asked me something; I don’t know what it was about.

"Huh? Think of what?"

"Never mind." And they went on with talking.

"Nick, AJ. Hope you enjoy the rest of the day… Gotta go."

"Ow, why?"

"I just have to, Nick. I’ll see you guys soon, okay?" I gave both of them a hug and a kiss and said bye to Amber.

*~*

I went straight home, and on my way I was thinking of Nick and Amber together. They looked pretty close, but they just didn’t belong together. I mean, I don’t know that girl but I know Nick…
