Heart Strings Chapter Three

Nathan:   I cba.

Me:   Nice.

Nathan:   I know.

This lesson sucks.

Me:   Actually, I quite enjoy it.

Nathan:   You enjoy this?!

Me:   It’s English! How can anyone not?

Nathan:   Because you do tonnes of writing on boring books from thousands of years ago.

Me:   Hundreds.

Nathan:   Like it matters.

Me:   J It does.

As I was about to pass the note to Nathan, I received a note on my desk from the direction of I-think-I’m-bad-but-I’m-really-not-and-probably-sleep-with-a-teddy-at-home- crew.

I considered chucking it back thinking they’d passed it to me by mistake but curiosity got the better of me.

I opened it, trying not to let it crackle.

Teddy Crew:   Hey, how bout u nd me go out some time? Giv me ur no. nd I’ll giv u a call.

I looked over and all of them had their heads faced towards me but I could tell who was behind it. He looked absolutely cocky, as if he knew what my answer was going to be.

I scrunched up the paper and threw it at them. See what he thought about that.

Another piece of paper landed on my desk.

Teddy Crew:   C’mon, y don’t u come round mine 2dai? We can hav some fun. My rents r out…

Just as I was about to scrunch it and chuck again, Nathan shoved a piece of paper onto my desk.

Nathan:   What’s that all about?

Me:   Just some dickweeds being dickweeds. That’s all.

Nathan:   Hmm… Doesn’t seem like it. Are you sure? What did they write?

Me:   Nothing.

Nathan:   Now, now Persephone, tell me… Please?

I sighed and passed the note to Nathan, cringing. I kept my eyes on him, watching his every move. He seemed amused.

‘Give it back!’ I hissed. He just chuckled and began to write.

Nathan:   Write this:

Sure thang Mr. Sexy! But it’s gonna be all of you right? I’ll bring some of my gal friends. I like a bit of a gang…………………

I stared at the note incredulously, shaking my head. Nathan was shaking, he was laughing so bad.

‘Do it!’ he mouthed to me.

With a huff, I copied down the words on the page and threw it to their table trying not to look and, of course, not succeeding. Almost the second the note landed on the desk their heads swivelled to it. As my ‘Mr. Sexy’ read the note, I saw his cheeks redden just a tiny bit.

He looked at me, followed by the rest of the crew, mouths open, so I sent them an air kiss accompanied by a flirtatious wink. He began to write furiously.

Teddy Crew:   Kl. Were do we meet bbz?

I wanted to be sick and laugh at the same time, but instead I grabbed some paper and began to write.

Me:   At the gate, five minutes after the end of school. Okay for you babe?

Teddy Crew:   Yeh.

Me:   See you there. Xxx.

I looked over to Nathan the minute the crew received the note. He raised an eyebrow, as if asking if the deed was done. A slight nod from me seemed to satisfy him. He started laughing like there was no tomorrow. And when someone laughs, I can’t help but join.

Oop. There goes tomorrows lunch time.

Maybe Nathan wasn’t too bad. At least I finally had someone to be with in English other than some randomers, though I’d have Adam when he came back...

Still, even if Nathan was annoying, he was better than nothing. Right?
