The unexpected

Chapter 16

Our teacher had an appointment urgently with the medical students in college. He has to teach them a few things here and there so he will only be available from on thursday. The accomodation is already ready for us next week. To make up for it our bio teacher said we'll leave on sunday instead of monday.

I pray mom and dad gives me my phone back. During lunch I didn't see Nate anywhere insight. I have to admit, that got me worried a bit. Since the time I spent with him on saturday I never saw him again. This get's me worried a lot because I have no idea if things will still be the same between us after saturday. But that's not the top of my worries, the though that crossed my mind is the issue. Knowing Nate he minght be screwing some girl in the bathroom or in her car. That itself made me feel so used. Disgusted too for some reason. It's not right to feel this way but I can't help how I feel. I also felt myself forcing my smile to people. All I wished for was for Nate to appear and say something.

Speaking of which, Zac came to me with a letter without a name outside. Not having to ask I knew it was from Nate. Anyone else would have written their name or mine outside. I smiled before I opened the letter. The way I know this guy though, I hate that it makes me feel good. Relief washed all over me. Some how before I even read the letter, recieving it showed me how distinct I am from other girls to Nate. It gave me comfort. The letter reads:

You're reading this letter because I'm not there to tell you myself. I have a check up to attend, so I missed school today. Hope to see you later.

Just that was on the letter. No name as I said, and tipically no greeting. My heart skipped a bit when I read the last line. I read the letter again not because I didn't understand it at first but because it sounded nice, made my blood flow and put a real smile on my face. So much like him and lastly because I wanted to read the last part all over again. As obvious as it is, who would have thought of writing that first line if not Nate? Also if anybody else read this letter they would not get it as much as I do.

It does not say much but somehow I can read all the unwritten words on it.  Words like I miss you embeded on the first line, I know you'll get worried if you don't see me from second line and  take care from the last line.

School went by slow today, nothing exotic happened yet. Of course Ashley's mom is hope for my gut feeling but I'm waiting for something to happen to me not someone around me. "Ash you'll have to drop me off before I come to your place I wanna get a few homeworks done, wouldnnt want be the next Em." I told Ash who was heading to her car.

"Excuse me, don't talk like that about me in my face." Ash and I laughed. We both know this is one thing that will not change about Em, as long as there's a male being in the world homework would not be done. If humans became extinct she'd move on to monkey's just to avoid homework. Just kidding. That made me laugh real hard though.

"Beat it Em! Who said I'm driving you home? I'll fetch you when it's about time." Only my friend can say that in your face and not feel guilty. She got in her car and pulled off the school's parking lot. You'd think she'd smile it off or say she's just playing around but not the Ash I know. If you don't know her you'd be hurt everytime she opened her mouth. Em and I know her already and she didn't just leave me. She probably has to go somewhere first. Mean as she is she would't say no if she was using my street. To prove my point she turned the other way.

"What should I wear to the dinner tonight? Dress, skirt or jeans? Will formal be too much?" This is the kind of convisation Em and I would have before every dinner at Ash's place. They will be both (Ashley and her mom) stunning and Ash will not be in the same clothes that she's in now. You never know what to put on. Personally tonight I felt like a dress.

"I'm rocking  a dress tonight. Wanna join? But you know trousers curves with every part of you perfectly." I adviced Em as we walked out of the school gate. Don't get things twisted, dresses make her look fly but on her they'd be better on a very special occassion.
