What did I get myself into? (Nicolas)

[Olivia Green]

Olivia stepped out of the hair salon. She had died her hair back to her original black, because quite frankly, her roots were coming in and she wasn't in Edmonton and she was getting all the credit for her sister's crime. She got a little cut as well, but nothing major. Though it sure did feel clean and fresh to have her hair not bleached like that. She had been doing that for the last few years and there was no way it could be good for it.

Olivia went through her contacts for Alexis to pick her up, but noticed another contact added to her list. Livi tapped on her lower lip trying to remember who it was when she finally remembered.

Alexis was convinced "a guy was willing to bone her" a lovely quote from her sister. Though Olivia had not believed one word of it. Olivia had a low self esteem so she believed no guy would be "willing to bone" her... along with the fact her sister is clinicly insane and will lie for the heck of it.

She selected the name and opened up the screen to send him a text. She was testing it to see if it were a real number.

Hey, This is Olivia...My sister gave me this number...

Who knows, it could even be someone's phone number. A nice little prank Alexis set up. After all it would seem Lexie was quite coniving.

[Nicolas Constantine]

Nick was plugged in today. As in plugged into a 150-watt amp. With an Ibanez Prestige. Volume and Gain three-fourths up.

He was in a rocking mood and he had the proper tools and conditions to play one of his favorite solos of all time.

But then his phone buzzed in his pocket.

Aw, crap, who could be bothering me now.

He set down his guitar on its stand and took out his Blackberry Storm from his pocket. One new text from an unknown number. He opened up the message, which read "Hey, This is Olivia...My sister gave me this number...".

Nick smiled. Her sister actually text him. He made a new message to send to her.

"Hey, this is Nick, yeah I told your sister to give it to you. She thought that you might want to meet up sometime."

[Olivia Green]

Olivia waited to see if it was the right number, then her phone went off.

The moment of truth.

"Hey, this is Nick, yeah I told your sister to give it to you. She thought that you might want to meet up sometime."

And what do yeah know? Alexis actually told the truth. Now, Livi got all nervous and what not, 'cause quite frankly, she has no effing clue on how to talk to somebody....

Or...Maybe this was a test. What if this guy was not who this guy was... like.. some pawn in Alexis' evil scheme of trying to get some confidence.

Yeah, she mentioned something like that, hey do you want to meet at starbucks?

Olivia was heading there anyway, so if he showed up, well... she wouldn't know what to expect. She is in so much denial right now that she is absolutely convinced this guy was fake.

She walked down to Starbucks and ordered herself a Chai tea with no milk. She sat herself on the comfy couches near a little fire place and stirred up her drink with her cast and, while her good hand held the cup. All she had to do was wait for him to either text her and say he can't make it, or say he can make it, but wont show up.

[Nicolas Constantine]

Nick's phone buzzed again, now saying it was from Olivia, as he had added her into his contacts. He opened the message and read it.

"Yeah, she mentioned something like that, hey do you want to meet at Starbucks?"

His super fast touch screen texting fingers typed out the next message he would send to her.

"Alright, no problem. I'll be there in five minutes."

He turned off all his equipment and got on his hoodie and keys and stuffed his phone in his pocket, ready to walk over to the Starbucks that all the students went to in the Avenues.

[Olivia Green]

She recieved a message right away, and the answer was totally unexpected.

"Alright, no problem. I'll be there in five minutes."

Olivia set her phone on the table and tensed a bit, realizing what if he was a real person.. and he was going to come and hit on her. Uh oh...

Wait! she didn't tell him which Starbucks she was at. Livi looked around and there was a bunch of students ordering their drinks and doing school work on at the tables. Well, scratch that, she walked to the most popular Starbucks for the students....

Damn, damn, damn!

Alexis.... I texted that guy thinking he was fake and he is coming to meet me at the Starbucks because apparently you don't always lie! What do I do? she sent the message and tapped her lip. She was getting scared. After all, her sister barely knew him, what if he was a super-secret-death-mrderer! Olivia took a puff of her inhaler as the phone vibrated.

LMFAO! Ur fucked now!

Nice, Alexis...

Olivia looked up when she heard the bells of the door ring and a familiar face had entered. Olivia opened her inbox and found the picute of "Nick" and looked back and forth from the picture to the person.

"Damn he exists.." she mumbled under her breathe. She looked down, and tipped her glasses off the top of her head and onto the bridge of her nose. Now she wont look so much like Alexis... and maybe he wont recognize her with them on, along with the bruises and cuts on her face. Oh and her blonde hair!

GRAR, I forgot I dyed my hair!

[Nicolas Constantine]

Nick entered the Starbucks after making it there in record time. The door chimed as he walked into the small coffee shop, looking around for a sign of Olivia. There wasn't anyone who looked like the girl he had met, other than the paranoid-looking black haired girl with glasses trying to hide her face from him. It was a long shot, but Nick guessed that was her.

He made his way over to the table, sitting down across from the girl. He smiled.

"I'm going to assume that out of everyone here, you're Olivia."

There were a handful of students in the cafe, but she was the only who remotely could have been her.

[Olivia Green]

The boy spotted her out and sat across from her with a smile.

"I'm going to assume that out of everyone here, you're Olivia."

Olivia returned a shy smile and tipped her glasses back up on her head.

"Well, I'm just busted..." she said with a nervous laugh. Oh Gooooodddd what to say! "Sorry...I don't know what to do... I didn't believe you were real... you see...Alexis Lies... she was diagnosed as a pathelogical liar...." as Alexis lies about almost everything, Olivia is quite open and will tell the truth to avoid any problems. Though sometimes it would only start some. Also, little did she know, Alexis told Nick her name was Allison.

Olivia reached for her tea and had taken a sip, returning it to the table. She alligned it so the drinking hole thingy was directly facing her. Not that she thought it would be easy access, but her OCD told her to do it....

[Nicolas Constantine]

Oh, man this girl was shy. Nick mentally shook his head. Allison had hooked him up with a real challenge it seemed. And apparently Allison wasn't the girl's real name. A pathological liar? Seemed accurate.

"Your "sister" told me her name was Allison. I'm guessing that was a lie..."

The girl seemed to be frightened of him like no other. He raised an eyebrow at her.

"Um, are you okay? You look a bit frazzled." he asked in his accent.

Oh boy was Nick in for a rude awakening of what this girl was really like.

[Olivia Green]

"Your "sister" told me her name was Allison. I'm guessing that was a lie..."

Olivia smiled. She just could not grasp the cause of her sister's problem. What good is it to tell someone there name is something that it is not? Certainly nothing... Olivia hadn't realized she was just staring at her cup of tea, looking as tiomid as ever until he spoke up. As he raised his eyebrow, she mimicked it, raising her own eyebrow.

"Um, are you okay? You look a bit frazzled."

Was it that obvious she was scared? It would make people see her vulnerability with ease. Not good in her case, seeing as how she couldn't fight worth her life.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah...I'm fine..."

mmm... Great... OCD is making me look like an effing dweeb...

"I just don't know you and I have suspicions you are a rapist.."

...And so is my paranoia....

[Nicolas Constantine]

Nick literally laughed out loud.

A rapist? I didn't think I was THAT shady looking... Man this girl has some confidence issues. She texts me, I come to meet her, and now I'm a possible future rapist? I am going to kill Alexis.

Nick shook his head, his shaggy hair bouncing with the motion.

"I can assure you that I'm not a rapist, love. I wouldn't do anything to you that you didn't ask for."

Oh, now he'd screw with her by throwing in the wink. Yeah, only he could pull of the flirt-after-being-called-a-rapist bit.

[Olivia Green]

Nick laughed out loud for a bit. Olivia wasn't a social genius so she just sat there with a dead serious expression on her face. He thought it was funny she called him a rapist? Does that mean he is a rapist, and he is laughing 'cause she guessed right?!

OMIGODOMIGODOMIGODOMIGOD!!!! HEEEELP!

Her body tensed and she was ready to bolt 'er out the door with her inhaler in the safety of her clenched fists.

"I can assure you that I'm not a rapist, love. I wouldn't do anything to you that you didn't ask for." he then winked at her. Of course Olivia winked back. Not because she was flirting with him... not because she was socially innept, but because something about mimicking other people's mannerisms made herself feel more comfortable. Damn OCD damn damn damn!

She was still tensed, and her muscles (Or lack of) were not relaxed. Even her breathing had slowed down to a close-to-nothing pace.

"Well... I'm still not sure, but I know I am somewhat safe because we are in public." Livi had trust issues, but what could you expect from a life full of trauma?

[Nicolas Constantine]

Ugh, she still thought there was the slight chance he could be a rapist. She was extremely odd and Nick could help but ask her if she had any problems.

"Uh, do you have any... um, mental issues?"

It was the nicest way to put it. You don't go up to someone you just met and say "Hey, are you mentally stable?" or "Do you have something wrong with your head?" or even worse "Did they just let you out of the loony bin?". Whatever the case, Nick hoped she wouldn't be offended by his question. Yep, he had decided, he was going to kill Alexis.

[Olivia Green]

"Uh, do you have any... um, mental issues?" Olivia's brows cocked as he asked the question. Never before had she been asked that.

Am I slurring my words? Am I drooling? *Checks* no... Does he think I am stupid?

Well, what ever set off his question she had to answer it, 'cause coincidently , she did have something wrong with her. "Um...Yep..." she looked down at her feet, avoiding to look at him. Here it comes, the judgemental stage she was used to in school. Everyone laughing at her.. calling her mute... all that fun stuff was all about to return.

I am going to kill Alexis...

"I have an Obsession Compulsive Disorder... and slight paranoia..." slight?

*Puff*

"Not to mention I have asthma." well, at least she wasn't a nymph-o/insomniac/liar like her sister was...

[Nicolas Constantine]

"Well you're definitely the opposite of your sister."

He smiled lightly and looked at her with his hypnotizing dark blue eyes to try and make her feel more comfortable. It usually did it with the other girls...

"I think I like that better."

So OCD and Paranoia... Nick wasn't terribly concerned with the former disorder, but paranoia would definitely be a challenge to overcome with this one. He assumed that once he gained her trust and liking, that the paranoia towards him would disappear. Then hopefully the OCD wouldn't get in the way of anything in the future with them.

[Olivia Green]

"Well you're definitely the opposite of your sister."

One could have guessed. He stared at her, with his blue eyes. As she returned the favour by making eye contact with her green orbs. It really creeped her out that he was just staring at her; so, thats why she was staring back. She had to watch his every move.

"I think I like that better." Olivia's eyes widened in surprise. Someone liking her better than Alexis? Man, if she got a dollar for everytime she heard that, she would have only one dollar. Alexis had everything Olivia lacked in. A sex appeal, confidence, money, a life, and now even a boyfriend. Olivia may have found her first friend, Gabriel. Though he still hadn't fully gotten his trust. Well, couldn't blame her. Her first impression of him was of her bipolar mother.

"Right, and pigs can fly." she wouldn't believe it, no. Olivia lacked everything. Loner growing up, and still a loner.
