Nat's POV
I woke up to find I was laying next to Jessy. His arm was around my waist and my head was on his shoulder. To make this more awkward I was lay on my stomach as he was laying on his back so when I lifted my head i was looking straight into his. After the initial shock I kept quiet not wanting to wake him. I looked at him for a bit. He look so peaceful was he slept, in this situation i could really see how handsome he was. His brown hair was a slight mess a few locks falling down into his eyes. though they were closed I could still imagine them, he had beautiful hazel eyes, they were were green and brown but the brown looked almost like gold. I sighed and started to get up slowly, Before I was fully up I looked back at him but couldn't fight the erg and I ended up leaning down brushing the hair from his face and leave a light kiss on his forehead. I walked to the kitchen and looked at the time. I was only 6 so we still had time before we had to get going to school. I decided to make some breakfast. I decided cooking waffles and bacon. As I waited on the waffle machine I turned on music and started dancing a little around. I fished the bacon and was waiting for the last of the waffles when one of my more favorite songs came on. I liked it because of the actual music more than the words, even though the words i knew by heart. I put the waffles on the plate, but couldn't help jamming out to the song and started dancing a little more wildly to the music. As the song ended I stopped and looked up to see Jessy leaning on the kitchen table smiling. So I guess he saw me. I blushed a little before turning back to pick up the food.
"I didn't know you could dance Nat." He said with a bit of a smirk as he watched me carry the food out.
"Oh.. um I don't" I said as I set down the food. I turned back to grab the orange juice but stopped when my hand touched jessy's who also had the same idea of picking up the juice. I pulled my hand back and kept my head down as he took the juice and placed it on the table. He then looked back to me just as I looked back up. I didn't know why but I was blushing like crazy so I just rushed to the stairs. Just calling out to him that I was going to get dressed. I got to my from and closed the door. Why was I acting so weird around him. Jessy is my best friend, we've known eachother for so long, there was no reason to be embarrassed around each other for anything. I put my hand to my heart it was beating so fast. Do I really like Jessy that way? I asked myself. I shook my head trying to shake away the thought. I went to my closet and pulled out some close and went into my bathroom for a quick shower. About 5 minutes later I was heading back down the stairs. I had decided on wearing a black band tank and a red plaid button up with white ripped skinny jeans and my red converse. I left my hair down letting it fall over my shoulders instead of tied up under my black beanie. when I got to the table I saw Jessy had already made be a plate so I sat down. Jessy was already chowing down. I was glad I made the extra food. I ate my share in silence. When we fished he went upstairs for a shower. While he was getting ready I made us both lunches after cleaning up from breakfast. I was just putting my lunch in my bag as Jessy came down.
"You ready to go?" I asked pulling my bag strap over my shoulder.
"Yeah, let me grab my bag." He went back into the living room.
"don't forget your lunch on the counter." I called back as I picked up my keys and headed out the door. I went over to my car unlocking it and throwing my bag in the back seat. I open the driver door but stood leaning my elbows on the roof of the car as I watched for jessy to emerge from my house. He came out and lock the door with a key my mother had gave him. He turned and smiled at me.
"you driving us to school?" He asked eyeing my car
"Yes, unless you'd rather take you beat up truck." I smiled back before slipping into the car and closing the door.
"hey don't recall you ever having an issue with my truck when i drove your sorry butt to school.He said as he got in the passenger side. He tossing his bag in the back then turned back to me smiling I just smile back not replying. I started the car and pulled out. We got to school later than I normally got there but still early. People were milling around as I pulled into the parking lot. This was only the second time I had driven to school. The first time was yesterday but no one was around but now there were and everyone stopped to look when they saw the new car in the student lot. When we parked and I turned off the car. Me and jessy just looked at eachother. He just gave me a goffy grin.
"Hey people are going to stare, you got yourself a hot car Nat." he said then turned around and grabbed our bags. He handed mine and I let out a sigh as we stepped out of my car. There was a small crowd that had formed wanting to see who owned the car. Guys we're eyeing almost drooling and the girls had been eye the drive side probably thinking it was a new hot guy. As stood all the way up jessy was walking around to my side. I looked over the crowd the girls seemed disappointed but still curious, and the guys were now staring and me then back at the car.
"Come on let go." Jessy said nudging me and we started to make our way through the crowd. Then Jessy was stopped by Jobb, a guy from the football team
"Hey Jessy who's the Hot chick with the hot car?" He whispered loudly to Jessy who only smirked and looked over at me with a raised eyebrow.
"Jobb are you really that stupid we eat lunch together everyday, I think you may have hit your head one too many times from only being tackled to the ground the whole time during your practices and games." I state a bit annoyed and looked up at him in his eyes. alot of people burst out laughing at my insult even Jessy. Then sudden realization came over Jobbs face.
"Wooo! Wait no way! NAT!?" He said stepping back from me. The crowd's silenced making a sudden gasp all at one at the news that the person before them was the so well known Nerd. Which they so obviously did not know who I was as well as they thought.
"No duh Sherlock." I said made my way through the crowd, who parted quickly out of my way, and leaving Jessy rushing to catch up. I just knew from that moment today was going to be a long day.
