A New Partnership 2

Cyclone

 Chapter 13

The next day at the school, Nathaniel had walked into the classroom of Miss Bustier to see the few students Max, Kim, and Juleka had arrived. Nathaniel waved at them, then saw Juleka with her smartphone in her hand texting with someone.

"Isn't Rose here yet?" Questioned Nathaniel making the girl shake her head.

"She got sick today," Answered Juleka making the redhead nod and get down on his seat.

"Tell her to get well from me," Asked Nathaniel making Juleka nod, then he took out his smartphone to look for an image of the received letter.

A couple of minutes later, more students entered into the classroom, under them Lila came alone by herself and made her way toward the last row to sit down.

"Good morning, Nathaniel," Greeted the brunette, watching Nathaniel unlock his smartphone.

"Morning, Lila. Can I ask you something?" Questioned the redhead shoving his smartphone to the girl. "Is this letter from your mother eventually?"

"My mom sent you a letter?" Questioned the Italian girl checking the letter out. "What.......that.....did my mom really write this?" Questioned the girl watching Nathaniel shrug his shoulders.

"I found it inside our mailbox. Didn't your mother tell you anything about it?"

"I don't even know, if she listened to me when I talk about school. Or that she remembered your or Marc's name. I'm quite surprised how she remembered yours. Yours quite big compared to us or others,"

"Okay, but is going there safe?" Mistrusted Nathaniel watching Lila nod.

"I don't expect the mafia or something to be looking for you. I'm certain my mother just wants to take an eye on you and make sure you're not a bad person or something. Years ago, when she heard about Adrien I had told her I feared him and broke up," Lila mentioned making Nathaniel raise his eyebrow.

"Did she think all this time, you were dating Adrien?"

"Yes, I lied pretty much about everything. But I was honest right now. I did tell her this lie. Perhaps I should have told her I lied to her because I wanted to be someone special or simply....only that,"

"Okay, at least you're improving yourself.....as good as you can,"

"And that's only thanks to you and Marc. I don't know, what I could do without you two," Lila admitted embracing him with one arm. "I'm certain my mom is going to like you, but......why wasn't Marc invited?"

"Good question. Maybe you can ask her that,"

"I'm actually quite curious about this meeting....I wonder if my mom planned to ask me out too,"

"Good question. To be honest, being there with my mom only is a little odd to me. She is sometimes embarrassing about certain topics, topics like.......love or random girl names,"

"Does she assume every girl friend you have is a girlfriend, right?"

"Yeah, sort of," Confessed Nathaniel making Lila chuckle.

"Everything is going to be alright. Don't let yourself get intimidated by your fear. She is going to like you," Promised the brunette making the redhead smile, then looked forward to see Nino enter and raise his hand up in front of his girlfriend, who jumped up to embrace him.

"Uh did we miss something?" Questioned the redhead making his deskmate shrug her shoulders. Nathaniel picked up his school case to take out a pencil, then rummaged through the bag to look for his sketchbooks.
