After leaving his small hometown Evergreen Beach to live in the big city New York Nick's life changes drastically. Since starting on ADHD meditations Nick went from happy and funny to emotionless and rude. And as well as joining a very dangerous gan...

"Oh you better not!" I yell as an old lady gets ready to cross the street when I'm clearly still coming past her.
And then... Step. She steps onto the road and I slam my breaks.
My head jerks and I grip my steering wheel for life. Thankfully I stop in time and I don't even get closer than an inch to the old lady. I have the will to scream my lungs out. No not in fear but in freakin anger.
The old lady turns to me and hits my bonnet once with her gloved hand. It makes a loud slapping sound and I mumble an apology to my car.
She does it agian.
Oh this old hag! Oops that was a bit mean.
She points a finger at me and starts walking agian.
Oh this old hag!
Tapping my foot and fingers impatiently I wait for the old lady to get out from infront of my car. She takes each step slowly and steadily. She literally looks like that crocodile from 'sing'.
And finally what feels like a hundred years later she's out of my way and I speed past her.
I'm late to pick June up. And I just got a text from an unknown number (it was Nick) saying they are waiting at the mall.
I was surprised he got my number honestly. But I replied and saved his number under the name 'Grumpy'.
Finally reaching Willy's bookstore that June works at (not that she even needs the job) I jump out of my car and run inside.
Upon entering I spot Mr William. The old man that owns the place. I wave at him and walk closer. "Hello Willy! Where's June?"
He looks up through his thick reading glasses and smiles happily at me. "Lia! How are you dear?"
Oh no. I don't have time to talk right now William!
"I've been great! Do you know where June is?"
I'm lying. My day has been total crap so far. But if I say that he'll ask questions. I don't have time to answer questions right now.
"She on aisle ten... By the romance books." He shakes his head while getting back to his book called 'How to get rid of annoying woman' probably for his wife... Or June.
Okie dokie then.
Quickly running to aisle ten I spot June with her headphones on looking through a book called 'Hunting Adeline'. That looks good.
I tap on her shoulder and she jumps. (I've never seen someone close a book that fast before) When her headphones are off I show her my watch. "Come we're late! They're waiting at the mall!"
