Dysphoria

Chapter Seven

For the first day of school I wanted to look cute but not like I was trying that hard.

I went though extensive wardrobe, I had designer clothes, casual clothes, thrifted stuff and everything in between. I picked a striped T-shirt and denim overall dress with some sandals. I put in major effort by curling my hair, it's not easy task when it's this long. I took my time moisturizing and doing my makeup, trying to boost my confidence and stay calm at the same time.

I grab my phone, water bottle and bag and make my way down to the kitchen. It was dark, my mother wouldn't be up for hours of course.

Sighing, I pour out a glass of orange juice and eat a cereal bar.

My phone vibrated in my pocket.

Fezzy: good luck on the 1st day, you best behave

Me: bitch as if

Fezzy: it was worth a try lol

Me: thanks for thinking of me. I'm really nervous

Fezzy: I know. But you's a bad bitch and don't forget it

Me: xx

I put my phone back into my pocket abs dashed out to my cute little black audi, throwing my bag into the passenger seat.

Pulling out of the neighborhood I notice the silver Dodge right behind me when I check my mirror.

That fucker.

I flashed my hazard lights and stuck my middle finger out my window at him before speeding off.

But Nate wasn't going to back down from a chase so he gunned the gas and came ploughing through traffic behind me. My car was smaller and faster so I lost him after a few minutes.

Thankfully the school wasn't far off and there were still parking spaces available. I pull up into a spot, check my makeup in the mirror.

I got out of the car trying to force down the sickening anxiety in my stomach. I fluffed my curls a bit and grabbed my bag before the loud truck engine pulled up in the spot beside mine.

I didn't look up as he slammed his door closed.

"Good morning." His voice was so deep and cold as he assessed me from head to toe. I couldn't tell if he approved or not.

"Morning." I straightened my shoulders back and started walking towards the large sprawling school building. People started to notice me as soon as they realized Nate Jacobs was following me like a dark shadow.

"Aww you're walking me to my first day of school Nate? Are you my Daddy now?" I say sweetly batting my lashes at him.

I didn't miss the prominent muscle that twitched in his neck.

"Is that what you want Gordon? I know you don't have one." He said quietly through his teeth. "Do you want me to be your Daddy?"

By now we had talked into the main building, people were crowded around the door. I could see Rue and Jules watching and I wasn't interested in keeping this tempting conversation going any longer.

"As tempting as that offer is I'd prefer you stop projecting your fantasies on me. Bye Jacobs." I said without giving him a backward glance, walking into the office to get registered.
