Chapter eleven

Nathan and I ran to our secret spot and we were panting like crazy. The moon was up, the stream was glistening and shimmering in the moon light, the wind played with my hair, giving me a cool tingle down my spine and the flowers looked enchanting in the moon light. It was a beautiful scene.

Okay back to topic.

I can't believe I just did that.

I've lost my mind.

Nathan's looked at me like I was a total maniac."Its official Crystal, you've gone mad"

I grin at him like the cheshire cat in 'Alice in wonderland'. "But Nathan..." I say in a mysterious voice, "We're all mad here", I say smiling like a creep.

We laugh hysterically and flop on the bench still laughing. "Aren't you afraid of what Matt will do to you when he sees you," he says with concern in his words.

"I'm not afraid, just curious. Besides I can take a hit no big deal", he tilts his head and gives me a confused look. Honestly I'm as scared as hell, if Nathan wasn't here I'd be running around screaming like a maniac, I don't show fear cause people will think they can intimidate me. You gotta be tough to survive in this world.

"You know Crystal, that's what I admire about you. Your a good person, your funny, nothing can bring you down and your beautifully unique".

I felt a slight blush creeping up my cheeks, I immediately put my palms on my cheek to reduce the blush before Nathan noticed.

He called me beautifully unique.
Awwee now I feel special and coming from him it means a lot.

"You called me beautifully unique", I see a faint pink color on Nathan's cheek which makes me giggle.

"I...um....well", he seems very flustered and rubs the back of his neck. He always does that when his uncomfortable, since we were kids. I change the topic before Nathan becomes as red as a tomatoe, I turn and search for my camera in my bag, when I turned it on I couldn't believe what  I saw.

"Oh my", I said covering my mouth in disbelief.

"What? What's wrong?"

I looked at Nathan with a look that says 'OH MY GOD THE FUNNIEST THING JUST HAPPENED'.

"The camera recorded everything that happened, even when I poured a smoothie on Matt"

"Oh wow, those are some beautiful pictures and the video's even better. I'm no art genius, but won't that make an awesome picture mosaic as your art peice for the competition", I look at Nathan and process what he just said and realise it'll make an awesome art piece.

"Yes yes yes!", I say excitedly jumping up and down then drawing Nathan into a huge hug, the hug lasts longer than expected and things became awkward again. I quickly tear out of the hug, Nathan strokes his nape and I feel heat climbing up my neck.Nathan smirks at me- actually I've never seen him smirk- fighting back laughter.

"Your face is bright red", he chuckles. Immediately noticing me blushing like crazy, I punch him in his arm he pouts like a little kid.

"Oww that hurt", I stick my tongue out at him, noticing my blush fades away.

"Tomorrow we'll work on your art piece," Nathan says with a small smile.

"Sounds good".

"Your not worried about Matt?"

"No I'll be fine", that's a lie, I'm not okay. Well I still have a whole day to obsess about it, so why worry now.

"Well no matter what I won't let anything happen to you," he says while holding my hand, giving me a caring smile. I feel a rush of nostalgia over come me.

Feeling Nathan's warm palm against mine, I fight the blush threatening to crawl up my cheeks.

"Thanks".

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sunday was awesome,I never knew Nathan was so creative. We went down to the basement so no one will disturb us. I can't believe we  made such progress, we developed and printed the pictures, and got a huge flat, broad wooden board to work on. We also got some old child hood pictures, I wondered upon a picture of Matt and I when we were kids which I threw on the floor re-igniting my burning hatred for him. We got a lot of glue, most of it got on Nathans face and my arms, we sort of had a glue fight.

It started with me flicking glue at Nathan which landed on his glasses, then he grabbed my hand and dumped it in the bucket of glue.

I can't believe he did that.

I rubbed my glue filled hand allover his face and the war began,so that's how we ended up covered in glue. We were almost done, all we had to do was wash up, cut up the pictures and use it to tell a story.
Sounds easy enough.

One problem.

HOW THE HELL AM I GONNA DO THAT??

I'm gonna do the second art piece myself, trust me its gonna be amazing. Tomorrow's Monday and I'm sure Matt's planning my funeral, I've succeeded in avoiding him for years, so I'll just avoid him.

Did I mention I hate Matthew Hudson.

I really hate him.

Like really.

Oh my God, we get it you hate him can we move on.

Fine, fine.

It wasn't always that way, when Nathan left in Grade 3, I was all alone until I met Matt he became my closest friend. On valentines day I gave him a card saying I like him,he laughed in my face and told the whole class, every one made fun of me.
From that day he changed; he was a different person, I could never look at him the same way, my hatred for Matt began.
I lost another friend, I was alone again with no one to talk to. My brother was still a baby so I didn't get much attention at home, that's how my inner self was born,  so I'll always have someone to talk to, someone who'll never leave me. And to add salt to injury, he branded me Weirdy.

Just great.

Things changed in Grade 5 when I met Sam and Whitney, since then we've been best friends.

I snap out of  my trail of thoughts and turn to Nathan who was about to leave, his aunt's house is a few houses down so its just a minute walk from my house. We say our goodbyes and I sloppily trudge up to my room making a detour to the kitchen, I see boxes of pizza on the table. Seems like moms too tired to cook dinner, I grab a few slices and run up to my room before any one could interrogate me.

Tomorrow I'm going to face Matt, might as well get it over with.
