Nolan scoffed loudly as he looked at Cole, like he couldn’t believe what he was saying about Lilian. “Really? Envious of who? Lilian?” he asked, staring at him like he had lost his mind. “That girl is crazy as hell, Cole. I’ve never in my life met a girl as hot-tempered as she is and let me tell you, it’s not just about the looks alone when you’re considering someone. Their behaviour should be part of it too, a hundred percent even and trust me, Lilian is far from having a good behaviour. She’s just too hot-tempered, violent, and I don’t even know…”He threw his hands up a bit, because he didn’t even know how to finish the sentence. Lilian was too much to describe with one word.Cole hissed, shaking his head “But she’s still better than Savannah, right? Savannah is a bitch whether you like it or not because what the hell was that performance she did? She thinks we’re stupid to not see through her act or what? I’m more shocked about how her feelings for you changed overnight. Someone t

“I know what you’re about to say, and I want you to know that I have the money I’m about to give you. I already have a better job, I drive a car now, and I’m making enough money,” Nolan added quickly, as if to get ahead of any objection Gabriel might have.Gabriel shook his head slightly, a frown forming on his face. “I don’t think I can let you do that, Nolan. You don’t even know her. She’s my girlfriend. I should be the one to pay for all her expenses.”Nolan waved a hand dismissively. “It doesn’t matter. We’re friends, and I know how much you and Cole have done for me. Let this be the small way I can pay you back. I’m really sorry about your job. And I know that if you hadn’t lost it, it would have been easy for you to handle things for your girlfriend yourself.”Gabriel still looked unconvinced. He wasn’t entirely sure Nolan actually had the money to cover all the costs, and yet he realized he had no real choice but to believe him. If he refused Nolan’s help now, he would be in an

“You’re really being dramatic, Gabriel. You’re not going to bash the car,” Nolan said, rolling his eyes and wondering why Gabrel would even think like that. At the same time he knew that if he ends up bashing the car, it wouldn't be a problem because he can just get a new one. He tossed the key to Gabriel, and Gabriel barely caught it with both hands. “Just go and pick up your girlfriend.”Fiona had already walked up to the boys at that moment, a bright smile on her face las she had no idea what was going on. If she had heard what Gabriel had said about her, she definitely wouldn't be smiling. She said hi to Gabriel and Nolan, but the reply she got back was half-hearted, and dry, almost like their minds were somewhere else when it wasn’t. Nolan didn’t even look at her when he said his own greetings. He legit ignored her completely like she was invisible. “Okay, I’ll meet you at the airport then. Let me just find a ride at the front of the school,” he said, not bothering to wait for

Nolan went to the bathroom to ease himself and when he was done, his plan was to just step out and get some fresh air, avoiding Fiona and waiting for Gabriel, his girlfriend and Cole to show up. He came out of the bathroom area to wash his hands and while he was washing his hands, there was a man next to him who was also washing his hands.The both of them made eye contact in the mirror and Nolan could just tell that there was something suspicious about him. The man was dressed in all black, even his jeans were black, he had dark sunglasses on his face inside the restaurant, and he even had a hoodie pulled up. Everything about him just screamed something was off. Something about the way he stood and the way he watched Nolan made Nolan feel off too.The man turned to him and Nolan could tell that there was a glare behind the sunglasses.“Can I know why you’re staring at me?” the man asked in a gruff, deep voice.Nolan quickly shook his head and looked away.“I’m sorry about that…” he t

The girl wasn’t even listening to what Nolan was saying. She didn’t care about his explanation at all. Instead, she was busy digging through her bag like she was searching for something important inside. Nolan just stood there, watching her with disbelief, wondering what exactly she thought she would find that would magically prove he was a thief.She suddenly stopped checking and marched right back up to him, her face full of irritation, and before Nolan could even prepare himself, she poked his chest hard with her finger.“You’re very lucky that nothing was missing from my bag,” she snapped, her voice loud enough for everyone around to hear. “Or else you would have regretted your actions today. I would’ve made sure you rot in jail and pay for what you did, you pervert and slow thief. Nonsense.”She spat the words at him then turned around and stormed back into the restaurant without even looking at him again.Nolan just stood there, completely dumbfounded as he watched her leave. He
