Kayla?! As in her Hufflepuff-but-really-Slytherin friend Kayla?

He didn’t care if he broke random girl’s hearts, but Kayla was not a random girl. “What did you do to Kayla?” She tried to keep her tone neutral, but there was still an edge to it. She didn’t want to take sides though. She knew Kayla had a tendency to read into things. Maybe Nico had a valid explanation.
She jumped when he punched the wall, annoyance and suspicion suddenly gone. “Nico, please”, she said worriedly. And he’d made himself bleed. Not good at all. Why did stuff like this always happen around her?
A date?! He’d never said it was a date. Apparently though, he hadn’t said a lot of things.
Nico turned to Camira, she knew Kayla? Oh great now she'd realise that whole thing in the library before the reading was about Kayla.
"I didn't do
anything! She came to me with these photos of me with my
friends." Nico stressed the word and glared between both of them, who he'd certainly been 'friendly' enough with in the past for the casual observer to get the wrong impression. "She was 100 percent convinced without an ounce of doubt that I'd done what those photographs suggest. And you know what gets me the most? Of all people, Cale
the idiot NEWELL believed me where Kayla did NOT."
He looked at Camira, a darkness in his eyes, "Please what? Stop acting like a Gryffindork? or maybe I'm a Dramapuff this time- I hear you don't particularly like them. And I know you have been judging me for my friendship with Kitten!" Nicholai ran his hands through his hair in irritation.

She looked at the pictures again, she knew Kayla had made up her mind but it didn't mean she had. "You're proving her right... 'by doing the crime' now" she told him, using air quotes around some of the words.
She watched him turn and punch the wall, he seemed truely upset, angry about it even. "Nico..." she said softly before standing forward after he had cleaned his knuckles. "Nico... if she didn't trust you... why would she be so hurt?" she asked quietly, putting a hand on his shoulder. She was feeling so bad for what she had done, she needed to apologise.
She heard his comment and she flinched away from him for a second before putting her hand back to his shoulder, "Nico... I'm sorry" she said softly, before he spoke again, Anna, he was seriously... well she didn't know how put it nicely, "You're my best friend... I don't want to loss you" she whispered, she had stuffed up, hugely, but still Kayla was hurt, but so was Nico.
"What difference does it make anymore?" Nicholai swallowed roughly, "Anna is a good friend of mine who has managed to be there for me and BELIEVE me despite the fact that I'm a Slytherin and she's a Gryffindor. She's my friend so why should I not spend time with her?"
And drug her and possibly ruin her life.
Nicholai closed his eyes, stroking his signet ring until his agitation had dispersed. He opened his eyes again and they were slightly dead.
"I told her. When it all began. I told her that I'd break her. And that I'd enjoy it." Nicholai looked at his boots for a moment, "I was wrong. She isn't the broken one at all.
And I don't even care anymore."
He pushed both girls away from him a little more roughly than he needed to and started to pace back and forth. He whirled around suddenly and looked at Nikki.
"You are my best friend too. You and Maddox... and even he is eventually going to chose Kayla over me." Nicholai sighed heavily, thinking of the flying class.
"I don't need anyone." Nicholai added, "But Kayla
does." She needs people who care about her that she can trust." He smiled bitterly, "Did you girls know, that Kayla
loved me? Past tense." Like his mother, who had used those exact same words. "She loved me but doesn't trust me. Should trust not come first? I trust her still!"
Nicholai paused and slumped against the opposite wall, his wand somehow in his hand and he twirled it, providing a certain level of comfort. Where was Maddox when you needed a good duel?
"I don't give up. I haven't. And I won't." Nicholai smiled darkly, "But first I have to find out who took those pictures."
