2004

"Nathan , you think I'll be able to join the junior swim team ?"

"No doubt"

I said without even having to think about it. Victor nervously twirled the pen between his fingers and we were settled quietly in the school library.

"Easy for you to say, You're already the president of the junior science club. You've got everything set straight for you "

"You realize you're just 14 ? You shouldn't think so much, it'll hurt your brain"

Victor's focus was completely on something else. He was looking outside the window and his head was rested on his elbow. I shook my head in his hopeless case. I returned my attention to the Great Gatsby open before me. He broke the silence again .

"Sasha's clothes got shorter"

He stated and watched Sasha stride past us in her all gloriousness.

"Maybe you should offer her some clothes"

We snickered at this. We judge her clothes daily which seems to get shorter day by day. Unfortunately, we still don't get tired of it. I bent my head down to hide my wide smile.

"Sasha was being a bitch to Lizz"

My eyes widened and my lips were left open. My brows furrowed in all seriousness.

"Don't ever curse. B i t c h is a bad , bad, bad word. It's very impolite"

I emphasized on the word ' bad ' to make my point clear in his head.

He stuck his tongue out and his smile twisted to an arrogant smirk. He folded his arms against his chest.

"So, what are you going to do about it ? Report me ?"

He challenged and I slammed my book close. I dragged my chair back to rise from my seat and tucked my book under my arm. I gave him a vicious smile and shrugged innocently, turning my back to him and whistled while walking away.

"Hey man , Don't tell missus"

He looked worried and tensed . He always falls for my dramatic flair. It's hilarious how he easily fell for it and how he reacted to it. I tried to hide in a chuckle and turned my body towards him to give him a shocked expression.

"Victor , I would never !"

This time, I began to walk faster as Victor rose from his seat and began to follow me. Before he could catch up to my speed, I started running .

" Catch me ! "

His expression broke into a joyous grin and began to run faster. I was quite sure he was going to catch me easily but until then , I ran wherever and however my legs could carry me away from him . I ran outside the school and for once , I had thought I have done the impossible from getting away from him but that thought dissipated , my knees wobbled and I threw myself at the ground .

My face making harsh contact with the concrete . I sat up wiping the dirt off my hands on my sweater and wiped the tears sprouting from my eyes with the back of hand .

Victor came towards me running and sat on his knees . He grasped my arms tightly and shook me badly . I almost looked like I'm having a seizure just by him shaking me .

" What's your name ? Do you remeber where you live ? Do you know who I am ? "

He said frantically along with the rocking of my body .
