Nik chucked his hockey bag in the garage, not even bothering to unpack it. He'd left the practice with Staffan and Trent much earlier than anticipated. There was just so much running through his mind. Specifically, two women. He knew he had feelings for both Evelyn and Autumn, and after a day like today at school he knew he had to decide which one he wanted to ask out. Tonight. Trent and Staffan hadn't helped the case at all in the dressing room. Trent had pushed him to ask out Evie, while Staffan was supporting Autumn. Both Trent and Staffan had presented good cases. "Fuck my life." Nik muttered in Swedish as he climbed the stairs of the Killop's house. Paul and Tracy weren't home due to some office party they were attending at Tracy's house. This was for the best as Nik would need to focus. Nik walked to his room, stripped down, grabbed a towel and head for the shower. As he stood there underneath the stream of hot water, his arm resting on the wall in front of him, Nik could only see each girl's face flashing in front of him. He tried to weigh the pros and cons of each girl, but just as it was in the dressing room with Staffan and Trent, he was getting nowhere. Nik stayed in the shower for an extra 10-15mins longer than normal, until the bathroom was so thick with steam, Nik nearly wiped out as he stepped out of the tub on to the floor. After opening the door to get some air in, brushing his teeth and trimming up his stubble-beard, Nik headed to his room. Opening the door he was greeted by the posters of his favourite bands, and the large Minnesota Wild rug on the floor. Nik threw his towel in the clothes basket and grabbed a pair of lounge pants from his dresser drawer. After putting on the pants, Nik sat on his bed staring straight at his phone. He needed more time to think. He reached to the end of his bed and pulled up his acoustic guitar. After a quick tuning job, Nik grabbed his stereo remote and put on a mix CD of his favourite acoustic songs. The first song was Soco Amaretto Lime by Brand New, and band that Nik had been introduced to by Aaron Boismier during his first week at Bayview. As he strummed the chords and sang along, Nik finally got his answer to who he should ask out. As he sang, he could picture one girl's smiling face right next to his. It was truly magic what a little music could do for a person. Nik picked up the phone and dialed the first phone number. Riiiiing....Riiiiing... "Hello?" "Uhm, hi," Nik began, trying to cover his accent to the voice on the other end of the phone, "Is Autumn home?" |

[[ Autumn continued from Talk Shows on Mute ]] Autumn O’Leary absently stared at the half finished assignment laying on the desk in front of her, far too concerned with Nik and prom and Evelyn to even fathom the idea of complete concentration. She wasn’t even sure how she managed to get the first part done- the whole thing was probably wrong, anyway. With a heavy sigh, Autumn tucked a piece a stray hair back into her headband and stared down at the sheet of paper. Maybe she should just leave it unfinished, turn it in and shock everyone. Autumn O’Leary didn’t complete and assignment?! What!? It’d shock everyone. Maybe then people would actually think she had a personality, which she very much so did. She just didn’t act like a hormonal, sex-crazed skank like the majority of the girls her age. No thanks, Evelyn. Autumn jumped slightly when her dad opened the door, clutching the phone in one hand with the other covering the speaker. Her eyes immediately darted to his feet, knowing full well that Steven O’Leary wasn’t prone to wearing shoes in the house and wasn’t surprised. Autumn wasn’t let down and found the hairy toes staring back at her. Goosebumps spread over her arms and she opened her mouth to protest. “Dad. Feet,” She said calmly before speaking again, “Is it for me?” Steven sheepishly glanced at his feet and then back at his daughter, “Ah, sorry. Must’ve forgotten,” Autumn internally scoffed to herself, Imagine that. “And yeah, it’s that Nik boy. Nice kid.” Her dad said before tossing the phone to her, not wanting to step onto the carpet. Eagerly catching the phone, Autumn pushed her homework away from her and spoke. “Hey, Nik. I didn’t actually expect you to call.” She said quickly, taking another glance at the incomplete assignment, “I’m glad you did, though.” |

“And yeah, it’s that Nik boy. Nice kid.” Nik heard Mr. O'Leary's voice through the phone and blushed. He'd met Autumn's parents a few times and it made him feel good to know that they did like him. Nik had been worried that they might not like their daughter hanging out with a foreign guy. Autumn's voice came through the phone sounding excited. "Yeah. I wanted to apologize for that mess at school today. It was all a big blur and I didn't really know what to do you know? Kind of flustered. First time I've ever had my clothes off in front of two girls." Nik gave off a nervous chuckle, then realized that what he said might be taken out of context and facepalmed. "I mean, you know, just the situation..." This was going downhill and fast. "So anyways, how'd the rest of your day go?" Nik said quickly. |

“It’s fine, Nik,” Autumn calmly stated, though her insides were practically an inferno of jealousy, “You gave Evelyn an eyeful, though,” She said with a forced chuckled and hesitated for a moment, “You should really be careful around her though. She can get pretty scary at times.” Yeah, she threw her former best friend under the bus. So what? It wasn’t as if Evelyn was sitting at home that very minute actively writing a list of all the reasons Nik should date Autumn and not her. Lord knows if the creeper could write, let alone be a good person and back off of Nik. Evelyn didn’t even like Nik. She just wanted him because Autumn did, plain and simple. Feverishly chomping away at the stubs she called nails, Autumn couldn’t suppress the shiver that travelled down her spine. Such an awful, dirty, disgusting, gross habit that she couldn’t even imagine stopping. All the germs and the filth that hands acquired couldn’t scare away the habit that Autumn possessed since childhood. For all she knew, she could’ve very well have gotten an infection in her mouth from the germs and died. And still she didn’t stop. Following the awkward silence, Autumn eye’d her incomplete homework and spoke up, “You know, same old same old. But uhm,” She hesitated once more, weary of making the first move. “About the prom…” She trailed. There wasn’t any way he could reject her, right? She was one hundred percent sure he liked her as much as she liked him. Hopefully. |

((OOC: Aaaaaaand we're back to your regularly scheduled teenage drama)) Nik was still flustered about his rambling, so much so that he missed Autumn's comment about Evelyn. The big Swede snapped right back into focus at the word "prom" though. This was it. He was about to reveal his decision to a girl who had such an anticipation in her voice that Nik knew his choice would not go over well. He'd chosen Evelyn. He was just more attracted to her. He didn't know if was that she was more aggressive in pursuing what she wanted, or if he just thought he'd enjoy himself more, but maybe, maybe he could talk Autumn into going with Staffan and save some face? "Umm...yeah about the prom," Nik paused for a second before continuing, "I'm sorry Autumn, but I'm going to ask Evelyn to the prom. I figure its better to just be straight. You are still awesome Autumn but I guess I feel, how do you guys say it over here...like we should be friends? I don't know if I said that right." Nik let his voice trail off waiting for a response from Autumn. |
