 maria wasn't one to go to the mall often, in fact, anywhere in public, really wasn't her cup of tea. she always felt like such a loser, standing there in her baggy outfits, and her geeked out bedhead hairdo. she knew that when it came to looking gorgeous at a moment's notice, it was usually her twin sister who pulled that off. she couldn't even look good when she tried. she felt like a clown when she wore make-up, and her hair never did what she wanted it to, so she usually either threw it up in a ponytail or let it go. so, being in public, made her a bit self-conscious. fortunately, she didn't have to be self-conscious today, because the only person she'd be meeting at the mall today was nikko. frankly, she couldn't care less how she looked around him. he was just her friend, and now that she was comfortable with him, it wasn't like she had to feel the need to look good around him anyway.
she stood next to the main entrance doors and waited patiently. she'd just thrown on anything she could find. a white tank top with a pair of tight jeans and some suspenders. she was a sucker for suspenders, even though they usually didn't match her outfits. she sat down on a stone bench and looked around the mall at the various people. it was odd how they all seemed to at ease here. she didn't know how many videogames she'd played that took place in a mall, and everyone was running around screaming. maybe zombies would invade, and she'd feel more at home. she could feel people looking at her, and she wondered if it was a mistake to come here. she'd told nikko that she'd meet him, but now she wasn't quite sure if that was a good idea. she felt awkward, but she would suck it up. she hadn't seen nikko in a while.
nikko was one of the few guys that she actually didn't run screaming in the other direction from. he'd been relatively nice at first, but then his true colors had shown. honestly, she preferred it that way. she knew he could be a bit sarcastic, and sometimes a bit too straight with his words, but she appreciated him not skirting around other people's feelings, and she'd rather he be honest around her, than fake. besides, when he made fun of her for her extreme geekiness, she didn't mind so much. they'd been so close, for so long, that it was like second nature to her. she even managed to get a few good comeback in here and there when she really tried. she mentally mapped out the stores in the mall she wanted to go to. she'd have to go to the video store, and game stop was a must. Plus, she needed some new parts for her computer, and she could probably stop and spencer's and grab a few things there. she pulled out her ipod touch and started to play "who wants to be a millionaire?" as she waited for him.

---- A silver Porsche pulled up in the parking lot near the mall, out of it stepped Nikko brayden wolfe.His checkered shirt unbuttoned pretty far down his chest, his sunglasses placed expertly on the top of his messy dark hair.To anyone else he probably would have looked like another one of those preppy rich kids that gets whatever they want but that was so far from the truth it was almost unbelievable.Sure he had money but it wasn't like he took it for granted.His mother payed for his tuition to get into university, payed for his car and well pretty much supported him up until he moved out.Now he was on crappy pay as a photographer and people would just stereotype him because of what he had prior to that.Not that he really cared, he would just flash them his best arrogant smirk and give them a bucket load of abuse, that was just the way he rolled.He pushed the button on his keys to lock his car as he began to walk away from his prized possession, he was a typical guy, loved his car and if anything ever happened to it well, that would probably be the one and only time someone would ever see him break down.The young man crossed the road and walked through the automatic doors to the mall, he had arranged to meet one of his best friends today and it was just a shame that he had a tendency to be late, he didn't even know how it happened either, even if he was running on time and got out of the house early enough he would just always be late, he had a short attention span though, so that was probably the reason.
---- Maria jane parkhurst was the friend he was meeting today and though he would never admit it to her face he really did love hanging around with her.She was the kind of girl that really didn't care what others thought about her, well if she did it didn't come across like that to Nikko.She was a geek, there was no doubt about it but not the bad kind of geek, sure he made fun of her for it but only ina friendly teasing sort of way, it wasn't like he would ever actually make her feel bad about herself because she was a great person, one of the only people that really put up with all of his crap.He would often offend people, speak his mind to complete strangers and his other friends would usually get embarrassed or get mad at him for doing it but not Maria, she accepted his flaws aswell as his attributes, she made him smile, he was grateful for that.His brown eyes flickered down as he took his cell phone out of his pocket and checked what time it was.They had arranged to meet at around 1ish and it was now half past, he was thankful that she always found someway to occupy herself otherwise he would have got a mouthful of reasons why he should be more cautious of trying to meet people at the correct time.
---- As he approached the stone bench that they had previously planned to meet at he saw the familiar blonde headed young woman slouched into the seat, staring down at her ipod touch.She took that thing everywhere with her, he was surprised it hadn't become permanently fused to her hand.He gave a small smile and began to walk over to her when someone bumped into him almost causing him to drop his cell phone, his temper immediately flipped and he pushed the man that had carelessly walked into him forcefully enough to move him out of the way but not too strongly so that he fell over "watch it you idiot" Nikko snapped before brushing himself off and trying to calm himself down, the last thing he wanted to do was to approach Maria with a frown on his face, that wouldn't have gone well and she probably would have hit at him with some teasing remark because that was just how it was with the two of them.He looked over to the bench, grinning once more because his friend hadn't even raised her head to see what all of the commotion was, that girl had the highest level of concentration he had ever known another human being to have.He flipped open his cell phone and pushed in her number, raising the phone to his ear as he waited for her to pick up.Taking a small step closer as he did so he crossed his free arm over his chest and smirked when she took out her phone "i can see you" he spoke in a husky voice down the phone, dying not to laugh, obviously she would have known it was him but he hated the typical entrance, saying hi and asking how people are, that wasn't how he liked to do it."whats your favorite scary movie?" he then asked, in the same voice quoting the movie 'scream' , when he was younger he watched that movie so many times he could pretty much quote the whole thing word for word.

Maria knew she was a nerd. That had been something she'd accepted since the day she'd asked for comic books instead of barbies for her and her sister's 7th birthday. From that day on, her fate was pretty much sealed. Her sister and her were always close, but Maria was the shy one who was always off in her own world. Quinn, on the other hand, was the one who was usually the center of attention. They ran with different crowds their entire life, and even though they were close, she knew that they'd never be the kind of twins that spoke a secret language with one another. They had a deep connection, but socially, they were like the opposite sides of a coin. They'd both come to accept it. So, it never really bugged Maria when Quinn ended up with a guy she liked, or when Quinn went out with the girls while Maria stayed at home building a new firewall for her computer. That was just the way it had always been. So, the fact that she'd managed to make a guy friend was sort of a first. She had a couple, but none of them were quite like Nikko. He didn't act all perfect around her, and he sometimes had a temper, but he was himself, and she loved that.
Having spent the last 24 years of her life loving all things nerdy, getting an ipod touch had been like a gift from god. she'd spent the extra money to upgrade it as much as she possibly could, just so she could carry it around and use it as her escape in all of the most awkward situations. It worked perfectly for sitting in the mall, your friend's a half hour late, and you have nothing to do but play zombie blast and try to beat your own high score. Nothing about this really registered to her as abnormal. So, she sat there and played with her ipod happily. She was at the highest score she'd ever gotten, and she wasn't going to let anything break her concentration. When she got into the zone, it was relatively hard to get her out of it. So the yelling and commotion going on near her, didn't even register. The familiar voice of Nikko, although it clicked somewhere in her mind, didn't distract her from the uber-zombie that was running after her, and she was quickly running out of ammo.
She was just about there. She had the thing cornered. They both had one point of life left, and all she needed was one shot and the game was over, she'd beaten her personal record, and the entire game. She smiled as she was about to kill the beast that had illuded her for three weeks since she'd bought the app, and then her phone rang. She got distracted, and the zombie had her. It pulled her down to the ground and munched on her brains. "Shit. NO!" She said angrily and dug through her purse for her iphone. although similar to her ipod, she didn't keep any games on her iphone because there wasn't enough space. She answered it and sighed. "Hello?" She asked, a bit irritated. The voice on the other end of the phone made her grin. She put on a face scared face and looked around, not peeking behind her, because that was probably where he was. "Who is this?!" She said with mock fright in her voice. She was pretty good at playing the frightened bimbo role.
"Listen you. I just got done having hot sweaty sex with my boyfriend... which explains why i'm drop dead sexy and half naked... so if you don't leave... he'll come and hurt you!" She said, trying not to laugh. She grinned a bit and wondered why all the women in horror movies that were about to die were in their underwear or a swimsuit. It was the magic of movies. She laughed, breaking her concentration. "Damn... i broke first." She said with a small snort. She covered her face, a bit embarassed. "... but seriously, where are you?" She asked with a smirk. She turned around and faced him. A smile spread across her features and she laughed a bit more. "Found you." She said with a grin and waved to him like the dork she was.

---- It had been so long ago that he had met Maria that he couldn't even officially remember the story.They had met somewhere around school, he was younger of course but that didn't stop the two of them from bonding, he wasn't even sure how they came to start a conversation, it was the library where they first met from what his memory had saved of the occasion she was sitting at one of the computers, doing something he couldn't recall but knowing her she was probably doing something whizz kid genious because that was just the way she was, whenever he called her or spoke to her online she was always building something new for her computer or coming up with some kind of gadgety thing, he wasn't very good when it came to thinking back on memories and reminiscing the good old days because his short attention span was so bad that he would often drift into his own world and lose focus of what people were doing and saying, he got told off about it too but it was just the way he was.He was the guy of the group that when one of his friends said hey do you remember when we did this.. he would try his hardest to remember and them come to terms with the fact that he couldn't remember it.So trying to think back to when he and Maria first met was a really hard thing to do, surely enough it was the library though, he had never clarified that with her incase he was wrong because then he would look like an idiot and even though they were just friends, she was one of his best friends, meaning he didn't like to screw up in front of her.
---- After dialing her number the young man stood, perfect sight of her as he grinned widely, that grin kept on growing as he saw the sudden frown hit his best friends face, by the looks of things he had obviously disturbed her from whatever game she was playing, it was no big deal though she could always just play it again.Thinking about it, there was no way he would say that to her because she would consider the situation in a completely different perspective, it obviously meant a lot to her.When her voice came through from the other end she sounded a bit irritated, as if he had just disturbed her from some kind of superhero mission that she just had to complete otherwise the world would end.It didn't phase him though, he just played up to his usual games and put on a different voice, pretending to be some crazed psycho from a scary movie, it would be fun, Maria always went along with his jokes so he wondered what she would come back with.Nikko bit his lower lip at her next words, he was dying to laugh because he had replied with the next line from that script going round in his brain, the fake frightened tone in her voice almost made him cave and laugh but he held himself together."well I'm your worst nightmare baby.." he replied forcing himself to use the same voice that he had previously put on to mask his own, damn that girl and her ability to make him laugh, he looked away from her, hoping that if he couldn't see her he would be able to hold himself together a little longer.
---- Fully turning himself away from her now the serious facial expression he was using had now took a complete u turn into an overly happy expression.Anyone looking at him probably would have thought he was high or something, he was hunched over dying not to laugh."you're boyfriend? the one that will just turn out to be helping me stalk and slash you...i don't think he'll come get me missy" Nikko smirked into the phone "oh and could you please run up the stairs like all the sexy half naked girls do in scary movies instead of running out of the front door? it makes it so much easier for me to catch you" he then gave in and laughed, a second or so after she did, although he gathered that she caved first.The young man swerved around to face Maria again since now he was allowed to laugh, their little game was over.He watched as the blonde covered her face from laughing, it was typical Nikko and Maria to start up a phone conversation even though they were in the same place just a short distance away from each other.When she asked where he was, he kept silent for a little while, he raised one eyebrow mysteriously even though she couldn't see him yet and he uncrossed his arm from his chest "Well thats for me to know and for you to f--" before he could finish she had already exclaimed that she had found him and he waved back dorkily, with an overly excited smile on his face, playing up to the act of missing her, obviously he had but he was never the kind of guy to go all over dramatic about it "Damn you and your location skills, no wonder your middle name is map" he teased and started to walk over to her, he stood directly in front of her and kept the phone pressed against his ear "oh god, I'm sorry i have to go, i just came face to face with the hunchback of Notre damne"
he teased her as he stuck his tongue out and shot her a wink.

Maria had met Nikko at the library. She remembered it well because it was a fairly sunny day, and she burned badly, so she'd decided to hide out in the library instead of going outside to socialize with kids who barely knew her first name. Her sister's friends always put up with her, but she knew it was because her sister defended her when she wasn't around. So, it wasn't like their fake smiles and pretend compliments really won her over, but she was in high school, and sometimes it was nice to pretend you had a few friends. Sure, she had antonio the spanish foreign exchange student, but that was only because she was the only level 5 spanish speaking student in the school, so he found it easier to talk to her as he learned english than anyone else. After he'd been there a couple months he'd met new friends on the soccer team. So, she'd never imagined that by staying inside, she'd meet one of her best friends for life. She had been working at the computer on a new program that would revolutionize the music stealing software industry, but then it all became illegal, so she'd had to dump it. She had so few good memories of high school, that this one stuck out in her brain like a sore thumb. In and of itself, it wasn't all that good, but she'd made a good friend that day, so she made a note to remember their rocky start. he'd been a bit of a jerk to her, but that was expected, they'd eventually bonded over something or other, and they'd been friends ever since.
Maria couldn't recall how many times her and nikko had had phone conversations like this. She vaguely remembered the "whazzup!!!" stage of their friendship where every phone call consisted of 18 minutes of saying nothing but that word before actually conversing, if one of them hadn't lost their voice by then. So, throughout their entire horror movie conversation, it was very difficult not to laugh. She forgot completely about the zombie game she had almost defeated as soon as she'd heard his voice on the other end of the phone call. He had a way of making her forget the bad things in life, or things in general. She wasn't sure why, but after all these years of friendship, the fact that he was a man still got to her. Most of the time she could overlook it, but she still got a bit self-conscious around him. Not very often, but sometimes, she couldn't help herself. After all, he was attractive, and he was willing to take time out of his schedule to hang out with her. She loved their friendship, and she loved that he was willing to accept her extreme geekiness. of course, he wasn't all perfect himself, so it was nice to see him let loose every once in a while, although, he usually didn't have any restrictions against being himself all the time anyway.
"Haha. Yes. That's the one. My sicko murdering boyfriend." She said with a grin on her face. she was going to break any second. She could feel it. Then with his next words, she just couldn't take it anymore. She heard him laugh after her, and she knew that she could just pretend that it was too close to call who had broken first. They both would know it was her, but she'd fight him til the end on this one. She looked around for him, knowing he was close. She could've heard him talking even without her phone pressed to her ear. She laughed when he waved back at her. He was acting silly, and he certainly looked like a dope, but she knew that she looked equally as dorky. The only thing was, she was used to acting dorky, but it didn't look like it came quite as naturally to him. "That's funny, i thought my middle name was computer wizarrr?" she said with a giggle and waved him over. he walked closer and she smirked at him. knowing he was about to say something witty, and teasing, in the same sentence. It was just the way they worked. She laughed a little bit and spoke right back into the phone. "Yeah, well... make sure she doesn't attack you when you least expect it... she's so ugly she can't control her temper!" She said into the phone and hung up. She didn't take any personal offense really, but she pretended.
She looked him up and down and laughed. "You're not that great to look at either, with your perfect body, and hair, and gorgeous eyes." She said with a sideways grin. "Who'd want that?" She said with a silly smile. She had. Once upon a time, she'd had a major crush on him, but they'd become such good friends, that she'd never actually done anything with it, and now here they were, years later, and she could only look at him with friendly eyes. It was a shame, he was very attractive, but on some level she knew that a guy like him wouldn't date a geek like her. Nope, she was just his friend, and he was just hers. That worked for her. She enjoyed hanging out with him, and she'd meet someone eventually. Maybe another computer programmer, who wore geeky glasses, and talked with a lisp. That felt about right for her.

---- Nikko found it odd that he and Maria had actually bonded and become such good friends, not because he didn't value her friendship or because she wasn't friend material, she really was.It was just, they were so different, she liked computers and gadgets, he liked photography and parties.It just didn't seem possible that they would have ever found anything in common, at least enough to make them such good friends but somehow it happened, he was grateful for it.She was similar to him on a personality level, well minus the blunt attitude and no consideration whatsoever for other peoples feelings, she was pretty much the same as him, they were constantly laughing together, she was there when he needed to talk to her and vice versa , it was a perfect deal.When he really thought about it though, it wasn't that surprising that she had given him a chance after he had been a jerk to her, only because of her relationship with her twin sister Quinn, they were complete opposites, like the most opposite anybody could ever imagine yet they still stayed close, at times it seemed to Nikko like it was only because they were family, blood related and all of that kind of stuff but they really were close and well he thought it was nice.Nice probably not being a very good objective to explain it but thats what he thought about it, Quinn was more of an extrovert compared to Maria, more of the kind of person Nikko would generally have been drawn to friendship wise but somehow he was closer to Maria.
---- Standing in the middle of the mall, staring his best friend down as they tried their hardest to keep up this charade they had going on made Nikko get that familiar feeling he always got when he looked at Maria, security and happiness.It sounded mushy and never in a million years would he ever admit it to her, not even if he was held at gunpoint or being interrogated, never would he admit it.That she actually made him happy, that she was one of the best friends he had ever had.He always thought about it when they were being goofy with each other, there was never a time when he wasn't laughing around her.He didn't really understand why Maria was so insecure about herself, she didn't like to talk about it much with him but he just gathered from the way she acted around guys, around everyone really.Her sister was more of a people person and it seemed that Maria would just stay at the sidelines, he knew that her personality was enough to win anyone over, she was hilarious, sweet, kind..if only she would realize it, it would have probably helped if he told her those things, but it all seemed too cliche to do that."well your sicko murdering boyfriend cant come clean and kill you just yet, you and i need to have an affair first, I'm sorry lady but thats just how the movies work, we need a twist in this story" he replied and automatically regretted laughing so soon after her, he knew this would be another moment to add to their list of bickers over who caved first, he always swore it was her and sometimes he was right but obviously being the stubborn guy that he was even if he had caved first he would never admit it, then again Maria was just as stubborn so they never really got anywhere, they usually ended up giving up, or Nikko would just change the subject and slip it into the conversation a while after that she caved first, that was the way it was going to go down, he could feel it.
---- Nikko edged closer as she waved him over and she made her remark about her middle name, he laughed softly and shook his head "aah the wizarrrr thing, you're never gonna let that go are you? one spelling mistake and you're branded for life" he smirked "well you can be maria map computer wizarrrrr parkhurst, try and say that one when you're drunk" he joked and finally stood face to face with her, he looked into her eyes for a moment before making his witty remark, he was quite pleased with himself too, that was portrayed through the smug smile breaking onto his lips.Nikko faked a shocked expression as she hung up on him, he held the phone near his ear before pretending to be sad , he pouted his lower lip and formed puppy dog eyes as he looked down to the floor for a second "now you're gone, i realized my love for you was strong" he quoted a song, opening his arms as if he were serenading her, he then laughed and put one arm over her shoulder as he pulled her into a one armed hug "oh come on now, you know you're beautiful" he simply said and started to walk with her, still keeping his arm over her shoulder "i meant that too you know" he added, turning his head to the side to look at her with a small smile, for once he was actually being serious, he was wondering how she would take it.His free hand placed against his chest, he acted as if he was being modest about receiving such a compliment "oh well, you know...i try" he jokingly replied faking arrogance as they continued their slow walk.He nudged her lightly "hey, we've been through this many times before Maria wizarrrr, you win the eyes battle hands down, those crystal blue peepers of yours are now match for this crappy brown colour" he stated, nodding his head as if he'd just made the best remark in the world."oh...and, you caved first" he added, grinning as he looked ahead of him.

A boy like Nikko was hard to come by these days. It wasn't that Nikko was perfect and he wasn't the sweetest gentlemen in the world, but he was particularly genuine. When he said something, Maria knew that he usually meant it, unless they were kidding around with each other. What had attracted her to him as a friend all those years ago, wasn't his looks or his particularly bad attitude at their meeting, but there had just been something about him. She'd known from the start that he was someone that would always be real with her. He just put off an aura that made her want to trust in the fact that they'd be able to overcome their differences and become good friends. Maria hadn't been very good at reading people. In fact, she sucked at it. She was a horrible socializer, and even more awkward when it came to one on one time with men, but she'd felt comfortable around him almost instantly. She'd even managed to come up with comebacks in their very first fight. Usually, she'd just ignore it, take it, or walk away from a person who was insulting her, but something about him always drove her crazy enough to make her want to yell right back at him. Nikko had that effect on a lot of people, she'd come to realize. He didn't really rub them the wrong way or anything, it was just, his honesty that sometimes threw people off. How blatant he was. Of course, that was just her observation, but maybe he was just a prick. She didn't really care, because he'd always been generally nice to her, and they were such good friends, that even if he was a prick, she doubted he'd ever be an asshole to her. At least, not a complete one.
Games with Nikko felt like they'd been playing since they were both five year olds. The thing was, sometimes it felt like she knew him a lot longer than she actually had. Sure, they'd been hanging out since forever, but he was one of the few guys in the world who she could go out to the mall with and have a good time. She was never nervous about what he'd say or do, and since he was relatively predictable to her by now, she knew ways to avoid situations where he might lose his temper. Not with her, she could easily walk away from a situation where he lost his temper with her, if that ever really happened. She was usually pretty good at calming people down, not working them up. She couldn't help but smile when they were in situations like this. He was hard to not laugh at. He had a very warm presence about him when you were close enough to him to realize it. "I'll twist your story! pervert! why would i sleep with my boyfriend's best friend?!" She said inbetween laughs. She couldn't imagine it for a second. She could imagine that if her and nikko ever shot a movie together, that would be the most uncomfortable scene ever. Kissing Nikko just wasn't on her to-do list at the moment. She didn't think he was unattractive or anything, but kissing him would be like kissing her brother. In fact, she'd seen the occasional tension between him and her sister, and that would probably look just as gross. It would be like seeing herself kissing him, but, a prettier, more put together version of herself.
"It's true. You are branded." She said with a grin and made a face at him. "But don't worry, i knocked you out with chloroform before i poked you with a hot iron." she said with a grin. that would be extremely uncomfortable, being branded. She glared at him and then laughed. "I don't get drunk, remember?" She said, remember countless times when she'd been designated driver for him and a couple of his friends. She wasn't going to let him drive drunk, so she'd told him to call her whenever, and wherever he might be, if he was even a little bit drunk. He'd taken advantage of it a couple times, but she didn't mind. She would rather he make it home safely, than in pieces. Plus, she knew he would die if anything happened to his beloved porsche. "You're such a loser. Who would say that in real life?" She asked, knowing it was lyrics to a song, not sure which one though. She wasn't terribly good with popular music, or jazz music, or oldies, or any kind of music really. She just listened to whatever came on when she turned on her car. She was pulled into a hug and she couldn't help but laugh. "Right. I'm beautiful, but in an unconventional geeky way right?" She said with a laugh and looked up to him. She punched him lightly with one of her hands and pulled away. "Like you even have to try." She said with a sigh. It felt unfair that men got to just wake up and be considered sexy. She didn't have time to work for it, and she really didn't want to attract the wrong kind of attention.
"My eyes are an exact replica of my sister's, so they don't count." She said and smiled up at him. "Yours are one of a kind." She said with a small smile and looked away. It was the truth. He didn't have to share his good looks with someone who made him look like a total dork every time they were in the same room together. If she didn't shape up soon, she'd have a complete inferiority complex with her sister. She'd never felt inferior, just different. So, it wasn't like her sister was better than her, they just both had their strengths in life. She heard his next words and fake laughed out loud. "Hah! You caved first." She said and poked him in the chest a bit roughly. "I heard you!" She said with a slight grin and shrugged her shoulders. "Just because i'm better at controlling my emotions... " She trailed off and grinned playfully at him.

---- Anyone that had ever seen them together would have probably thought they were a really insane match as friends.Especially if they knew how opposite Maria and Nikko's personalities were.He had often been asked by a few of his friends why on earth he had ever grew so close to the blonde and the truth was he didn't know but he also didn't care, sometimes he would get the speech , that she was too different to be his friend.But he would always go all bitchy on whose ever ass said it, he was pretty defensive when it came to his friends, especially ones like Maria.Infact it was generally only her that he got irritated about if anyone ever even made the slightest negative remark about, sure he was protective over his other friends but there was just something about Maria that made him get pissy if anyone insulted her or even cracked a joke about her, it was fine when he did it but that was because they were best friends, he was allowed to do it.In the past he had even had people accusing him of having a crush on Maria, having some kind of hidden feelings for her because guys and girls cant be best friends without there being something behind it and he absolutely hated that statement, sure Maria was attractive, beautiful even.If they had of ever started playing flirting games and got to know each other in a relationship kind of way he wouldn't have put that thought to the back of his mind but they didn't, they were friends and as of the way they were now the thought of them getting together didn't seem appropriate.
---- One of the things he loved about his close friend was the fact that she had actually taken time to get to know him.Most people went by first appearances or by first impressions and usually didn't like what they saw so they'd move on and never give him the time of day.Sure he was an ass to new people most of the time and he had been that way with her too, but she had let it slip and given him a chance, now the two of them were inseparable and he really respected her for that.She knew how to deal with him though, she could always find her way out of getting into a situation with him, since he was short tempered and very careless he usually got into arguments but he couldn't really remember ever getting into any serious argument with Maria.She was good at leaving things behind, just walking away if someone said something to upset her and Nikko couldn't do that, he had to stay and say his piece even if he knew he was wrong.He recalled an argument the two of them had been in, nothing major but an argument nonetheless, it had basically started over stupidity,a disagreement of opinions that he couldn't even remember properly but it resulted in him blowing the fuse and snapping at her, to which she had just walked away and he attempted to follow her but she just completely blanked him and allowed him to calm down.At the time it annoyed him but after wards he could see that she was just avoiding the argument, and now whenever they disagreed he tried his best not to lose his temper so quickly but...it was hard.When she called him a pervert, the word echoed from the fact that he could hear her voice in person and then on the phone a little after, it made him laugh "apparently I'm a double pervert, this phone line is like a second slow, is my voice repeating? and hey! you and i would make beautiful children in this movie, then they would grow up to be the next killer, it all works out really" he grinned, winking at her as shifted his weight from foot to foot.
---- The thought of the conversation they were having made him grin yet really consider it.It was strange to think that they were talking about having an affair, even if they were joking around with each other.Only because it would just be weird, because they were friends and strictly that, he tried to imagine himself kissing her, but it just didn't happen, it was crazy because her sister looked just like her but to imagine kissing her didn't seem so weird.Nikko shook his head at t and sort of snapped out of his train of thought as he heard his best friends voice."i wondered where that writing came from on my ass" he laughed and placed his finger on his chin as if he were pondering the subject."oh thats right, you dont..but hey, i could slip in some alcohol in your juice , you wouldn't know..and then i would ask you to say your full name and you'd be stumped" he nodded proudly.When he first found out that Maria didn't drink it didn't even shock him, it was just one of those things, he took it as if she had told him some pointless piece of information like 'i don't like cheese' it was just normality, plus he enjoyed having her to drive him home after he'd been out for parties, sometimes he even pretended to be a lot worse off than he actually was, but he'd never told her that, though he had a faint idea that she had caught on.Nikko faked a sad expression when she called him a loser , he then thought of an immediate comeback and a smirk formed on his lips "get back to me when you stop trying to take over the world on your computer" he replied simply and pulled her into a hug, beginning their walk through the mall.He shook his head at her next remark "beautiful in a... oh my effing god please reproduce with me kinda way" he said, smiling as the teasing words came from his lips.He really did think she was beautiful, he just wished she'd realize it.When she punched him lightly he completely over reacted and held onto the place that she punched "oh my god, call the ambulance..its as though I've been shot, oh the misery...the pain!!!" he exclaimed in an over dramatic tone of voice.He then laughed and stuck his tongue out at her.Walked a few steps away from her and shunned her, he turned his head away and crossed his arms like a small child not getting their own way.
---- But obviously being Nikko, that didn't last for very long and the next thing she said made him turn back to face her.He pointed at her and shook his head "well, i do so have to try" he replied "you know, i shower...and stuff" he said, rolling his eyes at his own lame comeback "just shut up OK".The young man then edged his way back to his original position, he was once again side by side with her and his head shot to the side, almost too quick for his own good as she mentioned the fact that her eyes were an exact replica of her sisters."Not true" he simply replied."yours have a little speck of green in too..." he paused "not that i look into your eyes or anything...or hers for that matter" he quickly added as if he were embarrassed that he had noticed.As she poked him in the chest he tried to dodge it but had no luck, he then grabbed onto her finger and squeezed it lightly "controlling your emotions, sure, yeah I'm just one big heap of emotion, I'm constantly crying and brooding..its just what i do" he replied sarcastically "and if you don't admit that you caved first I'll snap this off and shove it up your nose" he joked and laughed softly as he raised his eyebrows, it was like had had given her some ultimatum.

Nikko was her best friend, and one of the only guys who'd stuck by her for so long. Even her high school best friend ever had gone off in a different direction and had lost touch with her. Nikko was the only one who'd really stuck by her throughout the past few years, despite their age difference. Sometimes it was hard for her to remember that he was three years younger than her, simply because he towered over her and he had such a demanding presence. Even when they had first met, she'd felt like she was the child and he was the grownup. That wasn't saying that he was in any way mature. She was definitely the more mature one of their friendship. She wasn't saying that he wasn't mature, but she could usually control herself a bit more than he could. He certainly had a bit of an arrogance but when they were together maturity usually went out the window anyway. It was like they hadn't known each other when they were children, so they had to live out all their childhood friendship years right now, as adults. It was fun a lot of the time. They would ride on the little bikes at the store until an attendant told them to stop, or they'd stuff their faces with chips and watch movies all night. They had their moments of seriousness, but usually they were goofing off and just enjoying each other's company. There was only one other man who she'd ever felt this comfortable with, and she hadn't seen him for years. Nikko had an advantage over every other man in her life. He'd seen her at her worst and weirdest and he still accepted her. He was like a big brother, but actually younger than her. She knew that he'd pretty much be there forever, even if they weren't related by blood.
Nikko had a strange effect on her. He just made her feel safe and giddy all at the same time. She always felt like when she was with him, nothing bad could happen. They were so good together, that nothing could ever really come between their friendship. She knew that he hung out with her sister on occasion, but she never felt like their friendship was threatened, because Maria and Nikko had that connection that made a good lasting friendship. She didn't doubt that her sister did too, but Nikko was a guy she was more than willing to share. She wasn't his girlfriend or anything like that, so it wouldn't be so bad to see him and her sister getting a bit closer. She could almost see the sparks when all three of them were hanging out. Fortunately, she'd never get mistaken for her sister, so there were no worries there. Although, exactly identical in every way, they were still so different. You'd have to be a complete idiot to not tell them apart. They're whole exchange was just so typical of them. The laughing and the joking around. She laughed a bit. "What a twist!" she said to his plot suggestion. They're children would probably make excellent killers, or excellent clowns, possibly clown killers. Since, most clowns were headed down that path anyway. The influx of clown killers kind of creeped Maria out. The thought of her children being clown killers made her want to never concieve children in the first place. Sure, homocidal maniacs, she could deal with, but clowns? That wasn't going to happen. Her kids would fear clowns, like any sane child.
She wondered what he was thinking about as he dazed off. She smiled a bit at his answer to her question. "That's right! I was the one who blazened it on your ass!" She said with a laugh and slapped his back. "You would drug me just to hear me say my imaginary name wrong?" she said with a pout. She knew that he wouldn't ever do anything to hurt her, but joking with him about it. She smiled at him warmly, knowing that he'd be the one more likely to protect her from the evil-doings of men, then to ever hurt her or any woman really. Sure, he was tough, but he'd never do anything to hurt a woman like that. He was a good person, and she had pretty much sensed that from the beginning. She gasped at his accusation. "I am not trying to take over the world?!" She said with mock disgust and then smirked devilishly. "That would be way too easy." She said and put on her best evil genius smile. She had never been good at impersonating crazy scientists or evil geniuses, but she certainly tried often. It was a minor joke, but lots of fun. She smiled when he pulled her into a hug and gave him a quick squeeze back as they began to walk around the mall. "Don't patronize me." She said and grinned up at him, resting her chin on his shoulder. "All you have to do is ask." She said quirking her brow at him when he mentioned reproducing. It would never happen in a million years. Sure, she trusted him enough for him to get that far with her, but he was like a brother, and she'd never actually go through with it. "You're such a loser." She said with a small grin at his mock agony. She made a thumbs down gesture and grinned at him.
"You mean you don't wake up smelling that bad?" She said with a teasing laugh and fell back into step with him. She haphazardly wrapped her arm around his back and hugged herself to his side. She looked up at him in shock. He noticed her eye color. That was odd. She felt a bit of butterflies in her stomach, and she pushed the feeling aside when he mentioned her sister. That was it. He noticed the differences between them. She felt him squeeze her finger and she couldn't help but smile a bit. He was fake threatening her. "You emo." She said with a laugh and pulled her hand away from him. She stood closer to him and caught his eyes. She leaned up to him and smirked. "I'd like to see you try." She said with a whisper and narrowed her eyes up at him in mock defiance. She loved playing with him, simply because he was so good at playing off her jokes.
