F*ckin' Perfect

Chapter 2: I'm Straight!

Natalie's POV

I could not believe that woman! Saying those things to me during class? Who does that?! Nic Eva, that's who. I scolded myself for thinking about her when the teacher was giving a lesson, trying to concentrate. She just kept popping up in my head though! It was like she had a direct line to my thoughts and just kept pushing herself into them.

"I bet you've fantasized about me as well, haven't you?" That one line made my cheeks heat up even without her there. I was suddenly glad I was in the back of the room in this class, so the teacher couldn't see my burning cheeks. I, in fact, hadn't "fantasized" about Nic, but now that she planted those words in my head, I couldn't stop thinking about it. Did she really mean what she said, or was she just teasing me?

Ugh, I could not figure this girl out.

After about three more classes going on like that, I had lunch. Maybe there I could clear my head of Nic with the help of my friends. I walked over to my four friends, smiling as they called to me. I sat down at the table we normally sat at and they begun a conversation. As I sat, I could see Nic and her friends sitting across the cafeteria, but I didn't dare look over.

I tried to engage in the conversation in front of me, I did, but my mind just kept wondering back to Nic. Swearing at myself, my eyes started to wonder around the room. Eventually, without me even knowing it, they made their way to Nic, who was already staring at me. When our eyes locked, she smirked and ran her tongue across her lips, which made my cheeks heat up.

"Hey, Natalie, are you listening? What's wrong?" I quickly broke my eye contact with Nic, looking at Amy. Everyone at the table was looking at me, but one of the twins, London, gave me a knowing look.

"I-I have to go to the bathroom..." I didn't give them much time to react as I stood and rushed out of the cafeteria. I didn't even make it all the way to the bathroom when I collapsed onto a bench in the hallway. Nic's image of her licking her lips like that stuck in my mind, making my heart speed up uncontrollably.

What was wrong with me?! I'm straight, so why is she making me feel this way?

"What was that little exchange with Nic?" I jumped at the voice before looking up at London. London had long, dark brown hair, much like her sister's, Paris, except the other twin kept hers short.

"Nothing," I responded a little too quickly.

"You're really bad at lying, you know that?" She sat down next to me, obviously expecting an explanation.

"Honestly, I don't know what that was... She's been doing stuff like that all day... First in English and now during lunch..." London was one of my friends that I could confide in with stuff like that, since she wasn't a blabber mouth like any of my other friends.

"Maybe she likes you." As I turned to look at her, I think I heard my neck pop from going to fast.

"Seriously? But I'm straight, why doesn't she get that?" London just gave me a look, one that basically said "Are you?" With that, she stood and returned to the cafeteria, leaving me all by my confused self. Of course I was straight, I mean, I know I haven't really had a boyfriend, or even kissed anybody, but that didn't mean that I was gay.

I sighed as I returned to the cafeteria, but Nic was no where to be seen. Maybe that was a good thing, so she wouldn't do things like before. I was only in the cafeteria for a few more minutes before the bell rang, telling everyone to get back to class. And I was more than happy to oblige.

Nic's POV

Lunch had ended, I decided to actually go to class. Now, I didn't have fifth period with Natalie, so there would be no fun times with her, but it seemed like the better option because everyone else was going to class. It's no fun ditching unless you have a ditching buddy. If only I had remembered what fifth period was. Math.
