Victoria's pov

It was the next day and I found myself going to the diner. My dream from last night kept playing in my head and I didn't have the strength to be around him today. My mind was too jumbled and confused.

I wasn't gonna live in denial telling myself that I don't feel anything for him. I'm old enough to understand my own feelings. What I'm messed up about is how I'm gonna move on with these new feelings. I know I haven't had feelings like this since Jonah, but as much I'm a bit excited, I'm also scared.

If he doesn't feel the same way I will understand, I'm not 12. But if he does, would I be willing to act on these feelings? I mean, he lives two hours into the woods and I have a life in town.

He's also full of secrets and I don't know if I could live like that, but for now I'll just eat a piece of cake and wait for my friends to come join me during their break.

After what felt like forever, Kera and Nick made their way to my table with more food. Oh how I love them.

"Hey Vic!" Nick greeted with a smile.

"Hey bro"

I hugged him then Kera, and I saw him visibly flinch when I said 'bro'. It was then that I realized that he always did it.

"How have you been? How don't I know where you're staying? Are you replacing us?" Kera flooded me with questions as I stole her muffin and coke.

"I'm fine guys. I can't really tell you where I'm staying, but for now I'm staying with Luka-"

"Ooouu as in the sexy mysterious guy from the parking lot? Things are excavating quickly" She said, wiggling her eyebrows and Nick looked annoyed. I wonder if...

"Yea it's been good so far, was rough at first but things are good now. And I think I actually have a thing for him"

I was killing two birds with one stone. I knew I had to tell Kera about liking Luka since it would be weird to tell Emma, and I wanted to see if I would get a reaction from Nick.

And a reaction I surely got.

"Bullshit! You don't even know the guy! Why didn't you come stay with us? If we can't know where he lives, doesn't that scream 'run' to you Vic?" He semi shouted, looking irritated and very much jealous.

Luka was right then. Nick does like me. Well at least he knows nothing will ever happen between us. I can't risk losing his friendship either. They're my family.

"Oh hush it Nick! You're just jealous that she likes someone else and not you" Kera teased, as he turned a bright red and looked anywhere but me.

"Whatever" Was all he said, confirming my thoughts even more. I kinda felt bad for him, but he'll get over it.

"It's okay Nick. I know it sounds crazy but I trust them. Some people just prefer to live secluded." I smiled and he simply 'hhmm' and started eating.

"Anyways, my house is currently being sprayed and renovated, so after a couple months I'll come stay with you guys" I told them. They nodded and went back to eating.

After their break was up, I was left alone again with my thoughts. It was almost 1 in the afternoon, and I wasn't quite ready to go back as yet, so I decided to stay and chill for a bit.

I texted Lincoln to come get me, since I was steering clear of Luka today. So by the time he's out of the woods I'll be ready.

I sat for another half hour scrolling on my phone and laughing at random shit, when I heard the bell at the door ring, signaling someone had entered.

I peered in the direction to see a young woman walk in. She looked close to my age and she was short like me. I let out a giggle as I thought that someone else was actually this short.
