Chapter 15 - Endings Are Always The Worst
"Hey, I just met you." Nathan songs as I mentally slap him. "And this is crazy! So here's my number." He hands me a piece of paper, probably been torn from his book. "And call me maybe."
I throw a pencil at him that I've been tapping against the wall for almost twenty minutes. She shoots, and she scores!
"Not funny." He pouts, sticking out his tongue. "Now next song!"
I groan out loud, hitting my head against the wooden desk. "If you keep doing that, you'll surely get brain damage or a brain leakage you know?" Nathan shrugs and I sigh in reply.
About ten more minutes till I get up get out off the detention room and out into the hallway for my next class.
I've had enough of Nathan's terrible singing, the snores coming from the teacher's mouth and the moody teenagers roaming about like ghouls.
"Will you still love me when I'm no longer, young and beautiful?" Nathan sung, guiding his gestures with the lyrics of Lana Del Ray's song.
I shake my head and look out the window, adjusting my gaze a few times when the sunlight blinds my eyes.
"Are you in?" Nathan asks, snapping me out of my inner mind.
I frown in confusion. "What did you say?"
He rolls his eyes, "I said, do you want to come over to mine this afternoon and watch a movie after you help me with Maths so can you?"
"No." I state proudly.
"We'll order pizza."
I laugh at his attempt to convince me to come over and unfortunately it worked. "Fine I will but I get to choose what to order and what movie to watch as well."
"Deal." Nate grumbles, turning back to the front to watch the entertainment which was the teacher sleeping with badly drawn on lipstick, out of shape eyebrows and the pinkest blush you could ever find.
*************
After school ended, we all survived yet another day of high school except the fact that the teacher caught well actually found out who cake-faced his face. So the rest of the day before he took notice, he was walking around like he owned the hallways with his incredible face.
I spot Nathan leaning against his car while talking to a brown haired preppy girl who was flirting badly that you could spot if from miles away.
The next thing I know is that I'm strutting in these high heels that Kate got me towards them. "Hey Nathan Bacon." I smile, as they both stop their weirdly deep conversation and turn to me.
"About time you get here, Frannie Boo." He cooed, flicking my nose as I pull my face up in annoyance.
The girl cleared her thought. "Okay so ugh I'll call you later tonight, babe?"
"Let's see." He rubs his chin. "Nope, I have an afternoon with this idiot." Nathan points at me, letting the girl set her fiery eyes on me, probably trying to burn a hole in my head at this very moment.
"Whatever." She scoffs and turns around taking her floppy hair with her.
After she was out of sight I looked up at Nate. "Your horrible to the female generation." I mutter.
Nate laughs and slides into the drivers seat of his car without offering the door for me.
"Just get in Frannie Boo, I don't always have to be a servant towards you." He smirks.
I roll my eyes and walk around the car. As I open it, I'm pulled back by arms and trembling with these stupid heels.
Before I could even stand up, I turn my head around to whoever is dragging me away and making a big scene and it had to be Kate.
I take my ground, whisking my arms out of her pull. "What the hell!" I turn around to her with a sorrow look.
"Manners Franny, your making a huge scene." She mutters to me.
Kate was right, once again. Seems like this whole school is lining up in the theatre while eating popcorn. Weird.
"Okay, Kay why were you dragging me away from movie, pizza and friend all in one?" I ask as she quirks up an eyebrow.
"First, all in one? Really?" She sighs. "Two, dragging you away was just for fun and three, we had plans to go to the mall as a celebration!"
I knot my eyebrows together in confusion. "What celebration?" I whisper.
Kate rolls her eyes. "The celebration of our badass day!"
"Badass day?" I say slowly.
"Keep up shortcake! You see, the badass celebration is where you and your friend or friends do a couple of things that were awesome to the things you least enjoy." She smiles. "Sounds a bit tacky I know but you could just agree with me? and let your all in one plans continue tomorrow?"
I look at her innocent face the. I glance over my shoulder at Nathan who is still parked there with the door still open, and he is taping away on his phone, looking up at me every minute and ushering me to come back.
"I'll talk to him, get in your car and drive to the front of the school and I'll meet you there." She pulls an evil grin, who knows why and walks off with her heels clicking every sound of the cement.
The crowd has gone back to normal, and people are getting home or hanging out in the car park still.
I walk over to Nathan who's got his sunglasses on and a leather jacket that pulls together his perfection. It's true, his attractive but not on my watch because we're only friends.
"Are you okay?" he asks and I scoff.
"You could've helped me but-" I stop as he pulls his sunglasses down to see my eyes. "but you saw it Kate."
"Exactly now, come on get in the car. We're going to have a fun afternoon!"
"Ugh yeah about that." I whisper, looking down at the ground. "I promised Kate to go shopping with her this afternoon and as she pulled me away, I remembered."
"Oh." Nate looks at the wheel. "We'll have fun shopping."
"But we can do this tomorrow-"
"It's okay, and besides you guys are best friends and best friends never break promises." He cuts in starts the engine. "Have fun Frances."
I give him a sad look when he doesn't call me my nickname. Instead of saying anything, I close the door and he makes his way out of the car park.
Now I know why this is the emotional part in movies because endings are always the worst but I hold in my tears and make my way towards to the front of the school where Kate is waiting.
Hey! It's been a little while yes I know but here's the half way mark of the chapter!! So excited ugh! Okay as I said before, my half yearly exams are coming up in two weeks well almost a week now and I need to take some time to study. Sorry to break it to you but it's true.
