I wake up (again!) to the sound of my phone buzzing. I am in my bed and Cam is gone, probably trying to avoid punishment.
This time the text was from Jo
JoJo: Hey. Why do I have like 20 txts from Nate sayin u guys had a MAJOR fight and if I could talk 2 u 4 him??? TXT ME NOW!!!
Me: Can we just talk about this when we get to school? I need to get ready.
JoJo: Idc I just need to know what happened! If wat he said wuz true then u aren’t lookin like a very good friend rite now :/
Me: I no but u need 2 hear my side of the story. K???
JoJo: K. C u @ school
As I get dress I think of Nathan. What if I lose my best friend just because I lashed out? Sure I ‘m mad, but I don’t intend on never seeing him ever again.
As I walk down the stairs I can hear bacon sizzling and I immediately panic. What if Nathan was down there cooking for us? I can just see Mom asking about the ugly purple bruise...
“Hey kiddo!”
“Mom?! What are you doing up? Cooking. By yourself.”
“Well I thought I’d switch thing up a bit.”
“Um is the food safe to eat?”
“Ha ha very funny but yes it’s edible.”
“Well that’s... good, Hey has Nathan called today?”
“Um no but a boy by the name of Cameron did. He was asking if you wanted a ride to school? I thought Nate always drove you to school.”
She crosses her arms and gives me a suspicious look. All I could say was, “Who are you and what have you done to my mother?” I laugh and go over and give her a big hug while swiping some bacon from behind her.
“Bye, Mom!” I say as I walk out the door.
“We’ll talk about this when you get home from school,” she says sternly.
“Okay,” I say, rolling my eyes.
When I get outside, Cam was leaning up against his car. I run up to him and give him a hug and just as I am about to let him go, he pulls me back in for a long, sweet kiss.
“Hey now, Mister. Don’t wanna scare the neighbors do we?” He gave me another quick peck on the lips then goes around to open my door. I settle in my seat and just happen to look up at Nathan’s window and notice the curtains move together quickly.
Suddenly my phone vibrates.
Nate:) : Nice little show u guys just put on. Just so u no, i’ll still b here 4 u when he no longer wants 2 perform
Me: U brought this on urself, Nathan. Ca told me about all of the stuff u kept from me. His personal escort when I broke my hand. His visit when I wuz sick. Did u think I wouldn’t find out?
Nate:) : I hid those things from u 4 a reason Andi.
Me: WHY?!?!
Nate:) :... I can’t tell u but u have 2 believe e when I say I did it 4 u.
Me: Not convinced Nathan. Not really seein how u did that 4 “ME”. I gtg Nathan, bye
Nate:) : c u @ school Andi.
I lock my phone in frustration. Why is he being so elusive? I guess I can ask Jo for some help in this situation.
