Love sucks?

Chapter 3: Is this for real? (Picture of Madison Massarotti)

Nathans point of view.

I can't take her out of my mind now. I just picture her there unconscious in the nurse office... so calmed and peaceful. And when she opened those big green eyes of her, I could swear the world stopped for me. They were breathtaking. I would do everything to get her to date me. Well.... I didn't really had a good start... but I think she'll forgive me after all, I didn't mean to hit her. But in the meantime I'll concentrate on our lunch... that'll give me time to get to know her better... plus, she's with me in every single class.

As I warmed up in the gym a strawberry scent hit me from behind. It didnt take me long to realize who was behind me.

"Nathan, baby... you look so handsome today... Mmm! " a sweet voice called me..

"What do you want Madison?" I turned to face her. Her blonde hair so shiny and her strawberry scent hurting my nose.

"What's up with the attitude?" She said sarcastically.

"What do you want?" I repeated slowly.

"Are you still mad at me Nathan? It's been months already... you know you still love me." She said pulling the neck of my shirt.

"No, Madison. I don't. And yes I'm still pissed off with you..." I pulled away from her grip.

"But why?" She asked concerned

"Why? You even dare to ask?! You cheated on me! With the entire basketball team! If that is not a good reason for me to be mad at you I don't know what is!"

"Nathan... let's forget all this... and start again."

"It's easy for you to say... it's not going to happen... plus, I'm kind of interested in someone else now.... So forget about it!"

"Do I know the bitch?" She asked with attitude.

"Look Madison, I'm not wasting my time talking to you anymore. So  leave me alone." I snapped.

The bell rang. Thank God! I wouldn't tolerate one more second of that conversation anymore. She screwed me so badly. I fell incredibly in love with her back when we were juniors. I was so blind.... Thinking she was as in love with me as I was in love with her. I was wrong. I didn't want to do it... to sleep with her... until I felt certain of what I was about to do. That's what my parentes taught me. And even though everyone mocked me  in every way... sex was a big deal for me. She didn't like that so.... She took revenge. Which basically consisted in sleeping with everyone on my team. That hurt me to the bones, but I did what I had to do. I broke up with her, and now.... She keeps on bugging' me to get back toguether. But I'm over it.

I was in my basketball period so I showered and got dressed really fast to wait for her in the cafeteria. And then I saw her... walking all the way towards me.

She waved at me and smiled. I smiled back.

"Hey!" I said

"Hi!" She responded. I lead her to the cafeteria, it was full.

"Why don't you take a sit? I'll bring the food." I suggested

"Aam ok, I'll seat here" She said ponting the table.

I went to grab the food. I made sure that everything was clean and well served. I walked towards the table where she was sitting and placed our trays in the table.

"You like chicken sandwich right?" I asked concerned.

"I'm allergic to chicken, Nathan"

I'm an idiot,  I should've asked her.

"Really? I'm so sorry I'm..."

"I'm kidding, Nathan.... I'm kidding" She said laughing.

"I will have my revenge "I said laughing

She grabbed her sandwich, I grabbed mine and we started to eat.

"So... where are you from? I asked her.

"I'm from Calofornia"

"What brings you to North Carolina?" I asked making conversation.

"It's a long story but let's say a fresh start.... And my Tarheel spirit" She laughed

"Yeeah, you're going to college here?" I asked.

"Yes, I am. What about you? She asked me.

"Tarheel all the way!" I said. She gave me a cute smile.

A moment of silence came between us until I broke it.

"Well I'm glad I get to be part of your fresh start"

"You mean by hitting me with a ball the first day of school making me feel the embarrassment of my life and maybe getting a cranium concussion?" she joked.

"Oh, C'mon! I should get a little credit... I mean, this lunch is tasty." I said laughing

"I guess you're right" she nodded grabbing a bite of her sandwich.

"You have to admit that you're having a great fresh start. You should feel lucky."

"Hey, don't flatter yourself!" She laughed.

The rest of the lunch was basically giggles and laughter. It's amazing how enjoyable spending time with Angella is. She made me feel happy and for some reason I didn't want lunch time to end. But like everything in life. Things just end.
