Typical

Chapter 7

    Parking on the school lot we got out the the car walking into the building together. For once people actually took notice of me for the first time. It was amazing. When we walked in people took glances at me then him then got back to their friends. Going throughout the day involved tons of stares and people asking me questions.
    "So...Natalie? I see you and Tyson are dating now..?" Nate asked in class since I sat next to me in one of my periods. Laughing I shook my head, "No, who brought that up?" I asked tilting my head.
     "Everyone's saying that you are.."
     "Well we aren't." I shook my head.
     "Well then, will you go to prom with me."
      Woah. I hadn't even thought of prom. I had totally forgot about it. In general I never even went to any of the school dances since one I was a loser and two, no one likes me in that type of manner.
     "I'd love to." I smiled as I nodded.
     "Great, you have no idea how much that actually means to me."
      "You're very welcome," I giggled nodding. Now that I was going to prom I was going to have to beg my mom for the money for a dress since I was over my limit on my credit card, which wouldn't be that difficult depending on how much the dress costed since she had been booming on and on about prom and how I should go.
       When it was lunch the first thing I brought up at my table was Nate and prom.
    "NATE? THE FOOTBALL PLAYER?" Layla squealed.
     "Yes" I giggled.
     "Wait, I thought you and Tyson were dating," Taylor said looking confused.
     "No we are not dating why does everyone think that?!"
     "Because he told everyone that you guys were." she shrugged unwrapping her sandwich and taking a bite.
     "Ugh."
    As we ate lunch peacefully the lunch room became silent again. Everyone was looking at Tyson's table. I turned around also to see what was going on and I turned to see Tyson with a large decorated poster that read
'Will you go to prom with me"
    Things running through my head I bit my lip as I shook my head.
     "I'm sorry Tyson..but I can't" I said loudly.
      When I said that everyone in the cafeteria looked at me, some people snickering and looking in disbelief. But the one thing that killed me was his face when I declined. It hurt so much to look at.
     Dropping the poster he stormed out of the cafeteria his fist clenched.
      "Guys..I'm going to be be right back." I said to my friends before I ran out of the cafeteria searching for Tyson. After a few minutes of searching I then found him in his car. He had a cigarette lit as he took a long drag of it.
        "Tyson.." I mumbled his name as I got in his car knowing it was unlocked.
      "You fucking embarrassed me in front of the whole school." He mumbled as he exhaled as I coughed taking the cigarette from him unrolling his window throwing it out.
     "I'm sorry." I said as I looked at him.
     "Why did you say no.." he looked down.
      "Nate asked me."
       "Nathan Mathews?" he asked as his jaw clenched and his knuckles turned white.
       "Yeah. Him.."
        "Fuck him"
   "What did he do?" I asked as I looking over at him.

"He's the reason why I don't race anymore." He said shaking his head.

"He beat you I'm guessing?"

"Not only that, but he cheated, he could've killed me."

"You know..there is another race and it's tonight, I heard he's racing you could try to beat him and take your fame back."

"I don't know.."

"Do it Tyson, you can do it I promise."

"Alright. Deal. Fine."

Smiling I reached over and kissed his cheek, "you can do this Tyson" I said before I got out his car I heard him call my name, "hey Natalie?'

"yeah?'

"Thank you, and I'm sorry for all the times I hurt you."

"It's okay, I promise"

"Okay good, and too prove I'm fully sorry could I take you out to see the race with me? And take you out to dinner?"

"Of course!" I laughed a bit nodding .

"Good! I'll pick you up at 7 babe."

"Babe?"

"Natalie."

I giggled slightly as I rolled my eyes as I then walked back to school continuing the rest of the day.

                                                      ...

   Towards 6 PM I got ready taking a quick shower doing my make up and chose a black tank top that said "Normal people scare me" and a pare of ripped shorts. After I put on some black long socks with combat boots.  After all of that I put on some red lipstick and put my hair down. Looking at myself in the mirror I checked myself out for a bit, and want to know something? I looked hot as f.

    "Natalie, Tyson's here to see you!" I heard my mother shout from down stairs.

   "I'm coming mom!"

Going downstairs I found my brother at the bottom his arms crossed together looking at me in disapproval.

  "What?" I asked looking at him.

"What are you doing going out with Tyson?" he asked tilting his head, "do you remember all the times he had made you run home crying?"

"He's changed." I mumbled then walked over to see Tyson. Tyson was dressed in some Acid jeans, black hoodie and was holding a helmet in his hand.

"Woah..Natalie you look..I can't even explain." He said his eyes wide.

"You two have a good night!" my mom butted in looking at us in awe, then my dad came over next to my mother, "and don't hurt my daughter or else you better watch your back," My dad said then smiled.
    Leaving the house I got into Tyson's car as he got in next putting on his helmet.
     "If I win, I want a kiss by the way." he said looking over at me, "thats if the police don't catch us."
      "Police?"
      "Yeah."
   "Wait hold up, you never told me that there was police involved in any of this," I said panicking. If I got caught by the police holy shit, that'd go on my school records, (obviously) and if you don't see me the next day; that's because my parents already killed me.
    "Thought you already knew this stuff princess." He chuckled rolling his eyes smirking. I swear to god I hate when he does that, but it's just so...enchanting...no not enchanting, just hot and sexy. Clean thoughts Natalie clean thoughts you do not think Tyson is hot, not now not ever. And you are are little christian girl, so clean thoughts!
     "Well obviously I don't, I'm oblivious about half the things that make you 'badass', my daily basis does not involve doing girls, drag racing and drinking. I sleep, shop, and eat like a normal boring  person." I said to give giving out a huff as I crossed my arms.
    "Well not anymore." He shook his head, "you're hangin' with me and my crew now princess."
    "Um this is like a one time deal!" I scoffed at him shooting lasers at him with my eyes.
     "Nope not anymore." He winked then drove off.
