Fast forward end of 8th grade year**
Here I was in the last Monday of the school year, playing games in class since the teachers honestly don't care anymore. I was playing concentration with my friend group untill two of my friends needed to go to the bathroom. I was left with the two twin brothers.
Shawn said, "Mia, did you not brush your hair tho morning?!" Laughing about it of course. Shawn usually says random stupid stuff to fill the silence. I lot of the time it's probably a insult to someone but he doesn't mean harm, really.
"Shawn shut up, you haven't taken a shower since last week." Nathan said. They both start laughing but I quickly make eye contact with Nathan. Nothing much untill we looked away but I almost felt something. The brothers always nag each other but they usually have a limit, so it's all just jokes. The obvious reason Nathan defended me was to just get back at his brother, but why did it kind of make me feel, good?
We continued to play the game though the other girls weren't back yet. I got Nathan out of the game and I laughed obnoxiously at him with a forced laugh. He told me to shut up and that he hated me, as a joke, and he moved away from the circle since he lost. "Be quiet Nathan, you have a crush on her and it's so obvious everyone knows it." Shawn said. He usually makes jokes about these sort of things but I looked at Nathan with a face saying, "that isn't true, right?". The game continued like nothing happened but it was still replaying in my head. The girls returned back from the bathroom and I was forced to just put on a face not showing how I feel.
Tuesday
It it now Tuesday, on the last week of 8th grade year. We were playing volleyball outside in the grass. Nathan and Cassandra were on my team up against Carla, Alex, and Shawn. The game was pretty normal, us raging if something was considered out or if someone was cheating. Nathan was basically the best player, he actually plays the game while almost everyone else just stands there.
I was staring away focus on anything in the distance, when Nathan was calling my name. I looked to him quickly and instead of seeing him, I saw the volleyball 2 feet infront of my face. I fell to the ground, nothing hurting since it was just grass, but still a bit embarrassed. Alex and Nathan were right above me when I opened my eyes. Alex started apologizing since it was her that served the ball. I told her it was fine since I was really hurt and I also wasn't going to make a scene. Nathan asked me if I was sure that I was ok, of course I said I'm fine. He held out his hand, signaling for me to grab it to stand up straight. I quickly grabbed it and I realized his hands were cold. We were out in the sun during the summer and his hands were cold. I squeezed them tighter as I was pushing up.
"Let me see your head, just to make sure it isn't bleeding." Nathan told me. "Aww you care about me!" I told jokes with him and playfully shoved him. He laughed sort of nervously and told me to be quiet. After everything, we just continued the game untill we were called inside.
Wednesday
It's the last Wednesday of school before we all branch out to different schools, except the brothers, Alex, Cassandra and me. We were watching some historical movie in history class (of course) and of course it was the most boring thing ever. I took Nathan's water bottle and hid it behind my back. "Nathan are you thirsty?" I said hinting to him it was missing, really just wanting a reaction from him. Of course he found it and tried to grab it out of my hands and while he was trying to do so, our chests made contact. We both stopped laughing and stepped back away from each other. "Oh umm sorry." Nathan said. I said it was fine and just handed back the his water. The teacher told us to behave so we just sat down a giggled quietly.
