WE ALL MAKE MISTAKES

11). A MOLE'S HOLE

Miles and I gathered out things to hear out of the lab. I had to hit him with my backpack because he won't stop laughing at my bloodshot eyes after I handed him my project. Why did I have my eyes like that ? It's because of that stupid Nathan! That idiot boy had me at his favorite spot for ages and when I got home I received a tight scolding from Emma. I know, I know. I do deserve it. I should have told them where I was and how long I would be with the guy who's on our top most wanted list. When Emma left, it was then I realized I had to submit my project. Miles had called me probably twenty times to ask me about that but since I was busy with my non serious so called date with perhaps the most famous and handsome guy in Bronx High School, I couldn't find the time to text him back. I apologized to him over and over again and he too punished me for making me wait till morning. Now I was here, my bloodshot eyes and worn out face, packing my bag to head to the cafeteria. Miles was kind enough to take our project to our teacher himself. I trotted down the corridor and saw all my friends gathered there already.

"Hey there, sore eyes!" Clark waved at me. "How did the lab go?"

I threw him an ugly look before I settled between Rachel and Logan. "Don't even ask about it."

"Why not? Didn't your boyfriend give you a cold pack for your eyes?" Clark smirked at me.

"How many times do I have to tell you he's not my boyfriend!?" I glared at him with everyone laughing at me.

"If he's not then prove it, bossy girl!" He rolled his tongue out at me.

I folded my arms across my chest. "Shut up."

Clark shrugged, clearly he was winning and everyone was backing him up. "Admit it. You like him."

"I do not!" I snapped.

"And he likes you too!" He said flatly, ignoring my blabbering.

Logan flinched at his words that didn't go unnoticed by me and Emma. "What makes you say that?"

"He likes April. Haven't you seen the look on his face whenever he's around her? And I have seen him sneaking his time out to come and meet her by any chance." Clark took a bite of his Chicken burger.

Logan made a face. "Nicely observed! But I don't buy it!"

Clark grinned at me and then at Logan. "I bet you a thousand bucks!"

"On it!" Logan charged himself. "I never lose any bets."

Rachel jumped in quickly. "Don't bet him, Logan."

"Why not?"

"Because the lover boy's on his way here!"

All faces turned to the direction where Clark gestured and sure enough Nathan along with Edward came swimming among the students. My eyes locked with him and he gave out a big smile at me. I felt my legs go numb. Everyone was noticing us. Emma turned back and smirked at me. "Well, well, well. Looks like we got a date here!"

"We should give them some privacy!" Clark sneered at me.

The lover boy approached me swiftly and waved at my group. They reciprocate his gesture. "You guys ready for the big game tomorrow?"

"Totally!" Emma gleamed up at him. He gave a nervous smile at her clearly thinking what had gotten into her.

"You and April are in Cyclonette Squad. How are you guys doing?" Edward asked enthusiastically.

"Everything's perfectly going. Can't wait to see you guys on the ground." Emma sang again just to tease me and Nathan.

"Especially you, Nathan!" Rachel chimed in and I felt myself go red. Those idiots! I'm gonna make them pay later for this.
