Dylan Blake
I sat on the lunch table alone again and was wiping the spoon that I brought from home.
I then saw Nate putting his tray across from me and sat as if nothing had happened between us. I was quite sad that our whole friendship was ruined because he kissed me but didn't seem to care.
"What are you doing?"I asked.
"I'm sitting with you again."He said casually, "Why?is there a problem?"
"No, "I shook my head, "I just thought that after what happened, you'll hate me."
"You're not getting rid of me that easily."
He winked at me.
Being around Nate was super awkward but it was kinda nice that he still likes me as he did before.
Emily then sat next to me without greeting Nate. She seemed angry and her shirt was dirty with some fluids.
"I have had the worst day."She immediately complained after sitting down, "First, Mr. Dickface gave me a C in Economics because I forgot to write down the fucking date, and then, Mike assface bumped into me in the hallway and spilled his smoothie all over me."
"That's rough."Nate interjected in which Emily glared at her, "I'm not part of this conversation."Nate stated the obvious.
"Leave," She clenched her teeth.
I was disappointed that he was gone and turned to Emily, "I deserve food."She said and dug into her tray of food.
Whatever Emily said after that, I didn't hear any of it because I was busy looking at Nate, who was sitting with the twins and I just realized how hot he looked with his bright red shirt and he had his hair pushed back for the first time, which I found extremely attractive.
I tried not to have feelings for him but when goes on and looks like that, how can I even try?
>>>>>>
I couldn't believe that Emily convinced me to go to a party in some random students house and when I got in,
it was like I've never met any of the people there.
I was obviously not the party type but Emily didn't even force me to go out,
she just mentioned that she was going and that she was going to be alone.
She kinda guilt trip me by explaining to me how dangerous it is for girls to go to parties alone and I decided to go with her.
"Don't worry."She squeezed my hand,
"I won't leave your sight."
I nodded and we went inside the house together,
We passed by a bunch of sweaty, drunk teenagers and I stood somewhere near the corner.
Emily looked liked she wanted to go and have a drink or something and I felt like I was holding her back, "You can leave me for one second if you need a drink or anything."I pointed out.
"Wait here."She instructed, "Don't take any brownies from anyone."She yelled after she went further away.
After she was gone, I looked at everyone that seemed to be having a good time as I was left alone there, feeling uncomfortable.
"Brownie?"Kyle offered with a plate in his hand.
"No, thank you, "I mumbled.
"Come on, "He smirked, "You showed up at my house. The least you can do is try my brownies."
I had no idea that it was Kyle's house and that just made the situation much worse.
"I don't want it, "I said again.
"Just one bite."He insisted.
"Oi, "I was relieved to see Nate standing next to Kyle and glared at him, "Best if you walked away."
"I'm getting sick of you, Carter."Kyle put the plate down and shoved Nate roughly,
"You've had a problem with me for a while now."
"Maybe, "Nate shoved him back, "If you're not an asshole, then I might not be a dick to you."
Nate looked like he wanted to punch Kyle and I decided to grab Nate's shoulder,
"Let's just go, "I said softly.
Nate glared at Kyle before he finally calms down, "Okay."He turned around and had his hands on my lower back as we walked outside.
"Let me take you home," Nate suggested,
"You shouldn't stay here, with him around."
"I can't just leave my friend."I pointed out.
"Does she have a car?"Nate asked.
"Yes."
"Then she'll be fine," Nate said casually,
"Please come, I'm not comfortable leaving you here."
I thought about it for a few seconds before sighing, "Fine:"
He opened the door for me and I got inside of his car to sit on the passenger seat.
It didn't take long for Nate to come inside of the car and clenched his hand on the stearin wheel, "Why are you here, Dylan?"He asked and I couldn't read whether he was angry or calm, "You should have known that this is Kyle's house."
"I didn't."I blurted out.
"So, you went into a stranger's house that was full of people older than you and thought that it was a good idea?"He cringes.
If he put it that way, it was kinda stupid.
"I'm sorry," I mumbled.
"You don't have to apologize to me."He said calmly, "But this doesn't seem like your scene. Did someone forced you to come or something?"
"No, "I shook my head," Emily suggested it and I actually wanted to go."
"Why are you here?"I finally asked. I knew that Nate and Kyle weren't friends anymore and it was kinda odd that he was here.
Someone then entered the backseat,
"Come on, babe."The girl said to Nate,
"Get back inside."
"I'm leaving, Laurel."Nate pointed out.
"Are you going home?"She asked drunkenly, "I'd like to join you."
"You can't tonight."Nate said in an annoyed tone, "But I'll send you home because you're way too drunk right now."
>>>>>>
After sending the girl home, we arrived at my house and the both of us were silent.
"That girl seemed nice."I blurted out.
"Really?"Nate chuckled, "She's a nightmare when she's not drunk."
"Who is she?"
"Just my ex."He said casually, "We were about to...but she was wasted and I didn't want to take advantage of her."
That was the kind of person Nate was.
He is gentle and sweet, the thing I love most about him. I thought that he was only like that around me but that was not the case. He is genuinely a nice guy to everyone.
"Okay."I nodded.
I was about to get out of the car but Nate put his hand on my face and trailed his finger under my eye, which made me froze.
"You have an eyelash."He pointed it out and showed me it.
"Oh,"I mumbled under my breath and got out of the car while I was completely panicking at how close his face was to mine but I tried not to show it.
