forbidden love!

"WHY ARE YOU STARING AT THE WALL? " Natalie tried to snap George out of his trans ''George, come on we have to go, I don't want to be late again." The only thing she was doing right now was grumbling, again. It wasn't as annoying as it was when they first started dating.

But, even as George was staring at his bedroom wall , at 7:20 am in the morning, the only thing he wanted to do was just bang Natalie's head on the wall and go back to sleep.

"Are you even listening ?''

''No.'' When he looked at her, his face was blank like his answer.

It was those moments she asked herself is it worth it to be in this relationship. They both knew that their relationship was all just for the people, ever since they became friends, both of their families couldn't stop saying what a cute couple they would be.

"OK,..." Natalie looked at him with a frown. "...I'm just going to wait for you in the car.'' She was debating whether to tell him that she may leave without him if he isn't ready in 10 minutes, but decided against it.

As she slammed the bedroom door shut behind her , George was left in silence.

He stood up from bed, his legs little numb from sitting in one position for so long , while doing so the sheet that covered his naked torso fell to the ground with a silent 'thud', as he made his way to the bathroom door in the room a few feet away

With every step he took, the more he started realizing how much his head hurts. Probably from last night, Natali has insisted that they drink some of the alcohol his dad left before he and George's step-mom went to bisnes trip.

Doing everything that should be done in the morning in haze, George was finally ready to go.

He looked through the window to see if Natalie was still waiting in the car. After he caught sight of her baby pink top in the car, George started making his way to the vehicle, finally dressed and ready.

He opened the door of the driver's side, and stepped a foot in there. After getting fully in, without sparing a glance at the girl in the passenger seat next to him, he started the car and drove off for school.

THE RIDE WAS SILENT UNTIL Natalie spoke.

"I'm sorry." it wasn't her fault but this was what they were always doing .

Them fighting because of him, her apologizing.

George just bit the inside of his cheek and continued driving, he wasn't angry with her, he was angry with himself for speaking the wrong way again.

''I really am. Don't ignore me like that." she tried again, this time a little louder than before. "George."

George just continued driving , faster every time she said something.

"I know you are angry at me. I get it, but just...please don't ignore me."

No, she doesn't get it, nor understands it. She never understands. It's not her, it's him.

"George please."

"I'm not angry at you, for God's sake!" he finally snapped. All in his eyes was anger, for himself, it was his fault their relationship was like that, falling from the cliff everyday. "I'm angry at myself...and... I-I just need some time in silence."

Nat started to feel the burning feeling of tears in her eyes. She wanted to say so much more, like how she doesn't want silence, she just wants to understand him.

But Natalie couldn't, because she was scared of what would happen afterwards, if they would break up, of what he may say, of the friendship they had before anything romantic was involved. She was just scared of the unknown.

"YOU AND GEORGE ARE COMING TO THE PARTY, RIGHT?" Lorei asked as she applied her lipstick in the mirror.

"Yes. Why do you even ask? We are always there." Natalie gave a strange look to her friend as she washed her hands in the sink in front of her .

"I don't know, girl , it was you almost crying not me." at Natalie's confused gaze Lori tried to explain it better. "This morning."

"I..I wasn't crying '' Nat never shared anything about her relationship with anyone and if she ever did it certainly wouldn't be with Lorei.

After a few moments of silence Natalie thought Lorei had enough, but then as the nosy bitch she is, Lorei asked again .

''Has he ever, like hit you or...?

"No, he wouldn't do that, Lo." Right after Nat said this, both girls heard something hitting the ground behind them, in one of the bathroom stalls.

The girls shared a startled look and started moving toward the stall, the sound was heard from. When they got in front of it , said girls shared one last suspicious look and opened the stall.

Behind the now open door was Danny Stevens, huddled over the toilet , making her invincible for the people outside the stall.

"How much did you hear?"

'' What to hear?"

"Danny, how much did you hear?'' Nat was scared if Danny said anything to anyone, everything would be ruined.

"Everything." Lo just stared at the girl next to her with a sorrowful expression, Lo was the one that knew about Nat worries about, people finding out about the bad side of her relationship and if Danny opened her mouth and told anyone else about the heard, it would be her fault.

''What will make you shut up?" Natalie asked.

''A kiss?" Danny smirked as she said this, this ladies and gentlemen was a line she has waited so long for, to use.

Here she was yet again , going for the big fish.

''No."

"On the cheek?"

"No."

"Well then I may tell everyone about your little problems in paradise."

"You wouldn't."

"Just watch me." Nat was right, Danny wouldn't tell anyone and it's not like anyone would believe her, even Janis and he is supposed to be her best friend. The only reason for no one believing her thought, was because after the school found out she was a lesbian, everyone started caling her 'Danny the dyke', which somehow led the people to thinking that she was untrustable.

"You can come to the party." It was Lorei's voice that broke off their glaring match.

"No!"

"Yes!"

Both girls felt different ways. Nat didn't want Danny to come, because if she came, which meant Danny wouldn't stop following her. But Danny was already jumping from excitement, because going to this party meant that she could follow Nat and party, which was her second favorite part, obviously.

''Can I bring someone?"

"Yes." answered Lorei, as she started grabbing her things from the bathroom counter, ready to go.

''Who would you bring?'' scoffed Natalie, as she too started getting ready to get out of the restroom.

''Someone, why? Are you jealous, cupcake?" The big smirk on Danny's face would be hard to wipe off .

''I have nothing to be jealous of." With these words Natalie and Lorei, got out of the school's bathrooms, leaving smirking and jumping Danny alone.
