(n.) someone who hides pain behind a smile.

"Hey Nins." Ricky said as he walked up to his girlfriend who was at her locker putting some of her books away.

Nini looked over and gave a small smile. "Hey Ricky."

"Do you want to hang out today? I've got nothing else to do, and what better to spend the rest of the day hanging out with my wonderful girlfriend."

"Sure." Nini responded as she shut her locker.

"Let me hold that for you." Ricky said offering to hold Nini's backpack for her. Nini chuckled and rolled her eyes.

"You don't have to Ricky."

"Oh but I will." Nini rolled her eyes again, but soon handed over her bag to Ricky. Ricky then slung the backpack over his shoulder.

"So where do you want to go?" Ricky asks as the two walk side by side together outside the school.

"I'm fine with anywhere." Nini responded.

"Your house?" Ricky suggested. Nini quickly responded.

"No, uh actually. We can just go to yours."

Ricky looked over at the shorter girl.

"Are you okay?" Ricky asked.

"Yeah, why wouldn't I be?" Nini asked, but her British accent was starting to show again.

"Nini, I know something's wrong. You're British accent just came up." Ricky said knowing her all too well.

Nini sighed. "Ricky, nothing's wrong. Let's just go to your house, okay?"

"I'm here for you, you know."

"Yes, I know." Nini said as they walked to Ricky's house, no one saying anything else after.

Five minutes passed and they arrived to Ricky's home. Ricky unlocked the door and they entered the house together.

Ricky placed down their bags on the couch and started heading for the kitchen. "Want anything to drink?"

Nini shook her head. "No thanks." Ricky then left, but came back with a bottle of water.

Both of them didn't do anything and just sat in a comfortable silence.

"Movie?" Ricky suddenly asks as he started to get bored.

"Okay." Nini responded. "High School Musical?"

Ricky laughed and replied, "You know it."

Nini smiled softly and waited while Ricky had went onto his Disney Plus account.

As Nini waited, both hers and Ricky's phones dinged.

Nini looked at her phone and saw that Carlos had texted in their groupchat.
