"Talk to me dammit." Santiago said sternly as soon as he cornered Nolan. Nolan looked down and he teared up. "What is wrong Nolan?" He said a little more softer now. "It's nothing Santiago don't worry." He said and Santiago shook his head.

"Is it about me leaving this morning? I'm sorry but I was not looking forward to your parents or sister seeing me. I'm sorry if it bothered you that much. But I don't regret yesterday." He looked at Nolan to find him with a small smile. "I promise it's not you Tiago. It's Naomi and I don't wanna talk about it." Nolan said. Santiago nodded and pulled Nolan into a bone crushing hug.

"I'm fine Tiago stop worrying." Nolan said at lunch time when they were with their friends on their table in the cafeteria. "I wanna know what she said tell me please?" Nolan shook his head. "No leave it alone Santiago." And he went quiet as if on cue Naomi appears with her friend group.
