You two can't be together (Dylan O'Brien Fanfiction)

Chapter Twelve

Since I woke up before my alarm this morning I decided to take a long shower. I still was a bit anxious about tonight. I mean, I'm having dinner with Colton, like I said before, I should be thrilled about it. But then again, it isn't real and I haven't dated any other boy after Jayden's death. I wish I could call Dylan, he would tell me to calm down and that everything will be okay. But he had to start early today and most of his breaks are probably during school hours. Colton has this evening off (obviously) because he doesn't have that many scenes to shoot today. After showering for like half an hour I got out, dried myself and got dressed.

When I entered the kitchen mum was already making breakfast. "Morning mum." 

"Morning love, you're early." 

"Yeah, couldn't really get back to sleep." 

"You're nervous?" 

I shrugged. "Yes and no. I don't know what to expect of tonight or my life from now on." 

"You're going to get along with Colton just fine. Like I said, just become friends, it will make things easier." 

I sighed. "Yeah, I hope so." 

"Oh, and I heard you talking about your birthday party this Saturday. You should invite Colton." She suggested. 

"I'll ask him tonight." I said, not really sure why she would want Colton at my birthday party, it's not like the paps would know of it right? Right..?

"Nate! Let's go!" I shouted at him from the bottom of the stairs. "We're going to be late!" I continued. I heard him mumble something before appearing at the stairs, running down. 

"Yeah, yeah. I couldn't find my notebook." He snapped and walked towards the front door. 

"Well, let's go then!" Nate said when he saw me still standing by the stairs. I rolled my eyes at him and followed him to the car after saying my goodbye to mum.

"So, you're going on a date tonight?" Nate began as I drove away. 

"Mum told ya?" I asked him surprised. 

"No, I overheard her conversation on the phone. Tell me about it." 

"What's there to tell about it? I am forced to be in a relationship with someone, who isn't even straight and I'm not even allowed to see the guy I actually want to be with. I am lucky that mum let me text with him." I rambled. 

"Sorry I brought it up." Nate said quietly. 

"It's fine." I sighed. "Sorry." I apologized. 

"It's fine." Is all he said. I mentally cursed myself. Great job Jaimy. "So you're going to be there tomorrow? At my birthday party?" 

"You would want me there?" He asked me in disbelief. 

"Yeah, you get along with my friends. Plus I want you there." 

"Thanks J." I looked in amusement at him when he called me 'J'. He never calls me J before. 

"J?" I asked him. He shrugged but started to laugh. "You're a weird one Nathaniel." He glared at me when I called him that but still laughed. 

"You're one to tell Jamesetta." He said in between his laughter. I rolled my eyes at him but also kept laughing. Yeah, we have our moments.

We were still talking when we entered the school. "Thanks Nate." 

"Anytime sis." He said and we parted our ways. First period, biology. I had that one without the girls or Thomas. As we were 15 minutes into class I felt my phone vibrate. I grabbed my phone and saw I had an Whatsapp notification.
