My Friend Nicole

So I did something bad last night. I scared a good friend and she may lose two of her dream jobs because of what I've done. And I absolutely have no idea how to make up for it.

Okay, here's the thing: I trolled her. Though that's normal to friends, mine resulted badly. I didn't know that she's quite sensitive to scary things so I sent her a link to a creepy Korean comic (just for you guys to know how extremely scary it is, I sent the link to a ton of guy friends and 95% of them had a mini heart attack. These boys, mind you, could kick ass) and she wouldn't go out of her room because of it. I was told by JV Collado, our common friend, very early this morning that she had work that night and she missed it. Strike one for me.

JV also told me that she has a shoot today and her eyes are all puffy and stuff and that she needed sleep. But how could she sleep if she was extremely terrified by what she saw? She might get scolded by her boss because of my fault. Strike two.

I feel really guilty. Nicole told me that it's not really my fault because I didn't know about it. JV said that I should stop worrying too much but how could I when I might have just jeopardized my friend's dreams? Nicole has so much passion for what she does and she's really good at them. Which is why I'd feel much worse than how I already feel if she'd lose them because of the bad joke I played on her.

And she's a really awesome friend too, you know. I'd like to share with y'all a funny story about her. So I was part of a musicale and I got to sing this cool and catchy song called Superboy and the Invisible Girl from the musicale Next to Normal and Nicole was so LSS-ed to the song... Well, to just one line, actually (she said that it's the only line she remembers from the song. You could bet that one line was very catchy). And on the day before her surfing competition, she told me that she'd be singing that one line over and over again while she's catching those waves. True enough, she did. She really sang that line from my song over and over again. And she won 2nd place (maybe the song was like a lucky charm of some sorts)! But this is the best part:

Competitor: Hey, what's the title of the song you're singing? You seemed pretty in to it.
Nicole: Uhm, Superboy and the Invisible Girl... :|
Competitor: By who?
Nicole: My friend Keren
Competitor: Oh! I've never heard of that band before! I'll look them up!
*Nicole walks away*

And from then on, we became a band. Would you believe that she managed to get over 200 people to like our band page in less than a day? If that's not dedication, then I don't know what is. :)  

I don't know how I could get her bosses to read this blog post but I truly, deeply, and sincerely hope that they won't lay her off. She loves her craft and she excels in them. And I'm sure they could see that.

Nicole, if you're reading this, I'm really sorry. I don't know what else to say to you but that. :(

This is my friend Nicole. She's a DJ, a model, an awesome surfer, and now she's starting her own clothing line!

No more trolling people with scary stuff for me. And I hope I won't lose a friend.
