I Love You

A Wasted Thanksgiving

Darcy walked into the school and spotted Nate.

"Nate!" she yelled and ran toward him hugging him.

"Hey Darc" he said hugging her back. She pulled away and looked at him.

"I missed you Archibald"

"I missed you too" he replied.

"How was the Hamptons?" she asked.

"Ugh"

"That bad?"

"It was missing something"
"Me?"

"Probably" he said and they laughed.

"So where are you staying?"

"A friend of my mom's is letting us stay there"

"That's nice, but you do know my place is always open"

"Archibald haven't seen you around lately?" Chuck said behind them and Nate started to get mad and go toward him so there was little space between the two.

"Ignore him Nate" she said standing between the two. She turned to face Chuck and put her hands on his chest. "Beat it Bass"

He looked at her for a moment then walked away.

"Thanks" Nate said.

"He's an ass" she said.

"An ass you seem to know how to handle."

"I know how to deal with asses" she said.

"True" he agreed.

"So it is Thanksgiving tomorrow"

"Yeah?"

"Well I remember someone last year promising me that he would take me to the parade this year."
"I remember." He said "So we will go to the parade and then back to your place for sandwiches and apple pie?"

"Sounds like a good plan" she said.

"I can't wait for my second Ellis Thanksgiving" he said as Darcy's phone rang. She looked down at her phone seeing Mason's number.

"That would be my boyfriend"

"Boyfriend? So you and Mason are together" Nate asked a little jealous.

"I'll talk to you later" she said and hugged him again.

"See ya Darc" Nate said and walked away. Darcy answered her phone

"Hey" she said.

"For a second there I thought you were ignoring me"

"I was talking to a friend of mine"

"Who?"

"Nate"
"He's the one I met at Yale right?"

"Yeah. He just got home from the Hamptons"
"Sweet. So what are you doing for Thanksgiving?"

"I actually have plans" she said feeling a little guilty.

"Oh, your dad?"

"Actually Nate"

"Okay, I guess I'll let him have you for the day"

"You'll let him?" she said feeling offended.

"Kidding" he said "Have fun"

She hung up the phone and put her phone in her pocket still thinking about what he said.
