 (a:n) I think I’m getting sick ugh. btw -----> thats nate

   “Ahahaha. Of course you did.” I laughed at Nate. He just turned 21 a few months ago and decided he needed to tell me about the party and how he fell asleep in a bathtub afterwards. Because I’m only 18 it’s illegal for me to drink in America. So being an over protective best friend he had me leave when the party really got going.

   He stood up off the attic floor and came over to me where I was at the wall drawing. He took of his beanie and set it on my head. I fixed it then went back to drawing. I put the end of the pencil in my mouth. I turned to him and made a weird face. He laughed a little and made one at me.

   I gasped “o my gosh you know what you should do.” I whispered in his ear before he disappeared down the stairs and out of sight. I threw the pencil next to my duffle bag and went down the attic stairs into my room. I grabbed the comforter and pillows off my bed. Then I grabbed my phone and gummy bears and dragged them back up the attic stairs.

  I secured Nate’s beanie on my head and dropped everything in the right place. I laid down on the comforter tired. Nate came back into the attic carrying a case of beer, a bowl, Oreos, and Carmel and chocolate dipped ice cream on a stick. He handed me an ice cream and set the other stuff down and sat down next to me.

  “yummy.” I sat eating some of the ice cream.

  “I want to bite.” Nate said opening his mouth.

  “But you already have one.” I pointed to it with my free hand.

  “But maybe I’ll give it to you.” He smiled.

  “You’re a pain in my butt.” I laughed giving him a bit. He laughed and almost chocked on the ice cream which I don’t know if that’s even possible. He opened the case of beer and handed me the bowl I set it on the floor and filled it half way full with gummy bears. I finished my ice cream and turned Pandora on, on my phone. Making sure it’s not too loud in case one of the guys goes to bed.

  “Here open this.” Nate said passing me a beer. I tried but it didn’t open I looked at the lid and it didn’t say twist off.

  “We need a lid opener.” I laughed at his lame attempt to open another one. I grabbed my duffle bag and slide it to him.

   “Psh I knew that.” he stuttered looking away awkwardly. I laughed at him. He unzipped the duffle bag and digged around past paint bottles and brushes. He pulled out my keys that had a bottle opener on the lope. He took the cap off then switched beers with me. I dumped some into the bowl of gummy bears then stood up and put them on the other side of the room so we didn’t knock it over.

   “Oreos rawr.” I turned around to see Nate talking to his Oreos, and then he ate them like a monster. I laughed and walked back over sitting next to him. I took a sip of my beer.

  “So how are you and Vanessa?” I asked taking an Oreo out of the package. I look over at him eating my Oreo.

  “We broke up. It’s not a big deal she wasn’t a good girlfriend.” He replied. He didn’t even look sad.

  “I’m sorry.” I completely regret asking now.

  He looked at me “No it’s really fine I didn’t like her that much. I just tried because love grows you know. It just takes a little time.” After he said this I imagined harry going ‘like a flower’ with his awkward hand movements.

  “I’m glad you’re not hurt.” I smiled a little taking another sip of my beer. He smiled and took a drink of his beer. “I love this song.” I gasped and sung to it. Nate knew how good I could sing so he wasn’t surprised. When the song finished I looked over at him. He just smiled at me.
