Deleterious

chapter 3

The sun shined through the window making me turn over in distaste, but i couldn't. I slightly and slowly open my eyes to find this arm wrapped around my waist tightly. It wasn't uncomfortable or painful, it was rather actually comforting. I laced my fingers between the strangers and sighed. Is this what peace feels like? It must feel like it. This is the only peace i'll ever know. I closed my eyes and quickly went back to sleep.

The door immediately swung open with force and ended with a loud bang on the wall. In a dizzy and unclear startled state, i shut up. My vision was blurry but i can only make out the silhouette of a girl. The face, to my eyes didn't take long to focus. "Maddy Perez." I said to myself. But what would she be doing here? I look at the stranger next to me, who is no longer a stranger now. Nate was laying down still with his arm wrapped around me and in that moment, i knew shit was about to go down.

"See, i told you his not-" A voice calls and i could see Mckay in the door way. He looks at me with the same expression an animal gives another animal when that animal is about to get eaten.
"This is not what it looks like." I say as i slowly make my way out of Nates hold.
"Really? Because it looks like you fucked my boyfriend!" Maddy says in a quit but yelling tone.
"What? No! I don't even know him!"
"You don't have to know someone to fuck them!"

She makes her way over to Nate and pulls him out of the bed, making him fall on on floor. "The FUCK!?" Nate yells as he gets up groggily.
"Did you fuck her?" Maddy asks.
"Did i fuck who?"
"Don't play fucking damn, did you fuck her? Yea or no!" Maddy shoves Nate in attempt to get an answer but she's too small to actually make him move a muscle.
"Who?" Nate ask before looking at me. "Her?! God no!"

Even though i'm glad that his defusing his unhinged girlfriend, his words..hurt? I mean, the way he said "God no" when Maddy ask if he had sex with me rattled me. Where's there something wrong with me?
"BULLSHIT!" Maddy screams at Nate making me come out of my inner thoughts. She turns her graze on me, "Have fun with him, slut." She says and walks out the room, bumping her shoulder into Mckay like a pre-school bully.

Nate and Mckay follows her and i follow them. Me and Mckay wait by the front door as Nate follows Maddy outside.I could hear them screaming from outside, pounding on a window and finally the screech of tires rubbing off. Nate walks back in and slams the door behind him, followed by a lot of loud cuss words.

"I'm sorry." I say quietly, rubbing my hands together.
"For what?" Nate responds coldly.
"For causing that."
"Don't be sorry, she'll be back. She always comes back."
"Oh." is all i can manage to say.

"Well..." Mckay says. "I'm Mckay."
"Indigo West."
"Like the color?" He ask and i nod.
"Why a color?" he asks.
"My mom believes in colors. Believes that you can base someone's all aura off a color." I say and Nate scoffs.
"That's total bullshit."
"It's not!" I defend.
"You can't base someone's aura off colors. that's just idiotic."
"It's real."
"Then whats mine?" Nate ask and i pause.

The truth is, i don't know his color. His aura is so...smoothing that it'll smoother you before you can figure anything out about him.
"I don't know." I said in a voice lower than a whisper.
"What was that? I couldn't hear you, speak up."
"I don't know!" I say louder this time. He looks at me and smirks, obviously please with the reaction his getting from me.

"Your aura is obviously dominance, aggression, anger, power, manipulation, danger, revenge, impulsion." I say and he looks at me like i'm telling his whole life story. "Red." I say and i look at him. "But you're also sad, lonely, angry...not at yourself but at someone else. You're holding on to pain, a lot of it. And for that, i don't know your true color." I say shrug my shoulders.
"Shut up, you don't know shit." He tells me.
"You're right, i don't. But i know you're hiding your emotions and that must suck."

He rolls his eyes and scoffs again before pushing past me to walk back upstairs in the room we was just in.

"Do you need a ride?" Mckay asks and i shake my head no. Hopefully the streets look the same as they did last night...in the dark. Mckay and I exchange phone numbers before saying our goodbyes and i leave. It doesn't take me long at all before i get home. Nobody is downstairs as i walk in so i quietly make my way upstairs and walk into my room.

I take a quick shower and put on a shirt and pajama pants before laying in my bed. My bed isn't as comfortable as the bed i slept in last night and it's missing something, or rather someone. Nate. It's missing Nate. His big arm around my waist made me feel protected and it made me feel good actually. I sunk in my bed and tossed and turned at the thought of Nate walking into my room just to cuddle.

Why am i thinking about him? I barley know the rude boy and i'm already thinking about him? I must've gone crazy over the night. I finally get comfortable and within just a few minutes i'm off to sleep. Saturday pass and it's now Sunday which also pass by quickly since i got my hair braided and it's now Monday, the start of my very first day of my brand new school.

I woke up at 6am, take a hot shower and shave then get out. I put on some light makeup before putting on my clothes which consists of a white pair of ripped jeans and a pink cropped top with the words "daddy" printed on it with some pink off brand shoes and a pink belt. Of course i accessorize by putting on sliver jewelry. I look in the mirror one last time before grabbing my bag and heading downstairs.

"We fixed breakfast!" My mom yells clearly happy that my sister and i will be gone so we won't bug her. We sit down at the table and eat as we make small talk.
"Can i take the car today?" I ask, looking at both my parents.
"Why do you need the car?" My dad asks.
"You know, first impression matters." I say as i fill my cup up with apple juice. My dad stares at my mom and my mom starts at him.
"Plus, i don't want to take the bus. Please?" I beg.

"Fine." My dad says, "Take the Audi A5." And i smile at his words. I grab the keys off the key rack and make my way to the car. I start it and make my way to the first day of my new high school that could probably change my life for the better...or worse.
