Notes (Nathan Sykes fanfic)

Chapter 5

Chapter 5

I lay in bed staring up at the ceiling, the moon scattered shadows across it through my half open curtains. It was about 11 at night and thoughts were racing back and forth in my mind. Did Nathan want to kiss me? Was he planning to? Does he even like me at all? For hours I just kept replaying the incident over and over trying to work out if he honestly wasn't going to kiss me or if he would have done if he hadn't been called away. It was driving me crazy and quite honestly I felt like crying although whether in a good or bad way I wasn't sure.

'Sophie?' I blinked quickly turning around to find the source of the voice, 'are you okay?' Marika smiled, twirling her curly brown hair between her fingers. Marika has been one of my best friends at this school and she is one of the nicest people I've ever met.

'I'm fine,' I paused, letting out a sigh, 'just...thinking' I said quietly. We were in Geography and Mr.Stevens was droning on at the front of the classroom. I had taken a few notes but my mind was completely elsewhere.

'So you're not fine at all!' She frowned. 'You know you can talk to me!' She tilted her head towards me, I was close to hitting my head against the desk. 'What's up?' She asked gently. I contemplated whether or not I should tell her, it would be difficult to explain but getting how I felt off my chest would probably be a good idea.

'Okay,' I said, looking up at her, she gave me a sweet look nodding at me to continue, 'I...there's...' I froze, this was harder to explain than I expected.

'Seriously Sophie, just count to three in your mind and say it!' I looked at her and took a deep breath.

'There's a boy!' I burst out slightly too loudly, a couple of people turned to look at me and this attracted the attention of Mr.Stevens who looked our way.

'Can you two please be quiet!' He shouted. Me and Marika looked back to the front. As he started talking again she looked back at me raising her eyebrows suggestively,

'Is he fit?' She whispered giggling.

'Really!?' I whisper shouted.

'Sorry, sorry!' She replied, 'so you like him? What's his name?'

'I think so... Nathan' it's cheesy but saying his name honestly did make me smile.

'Awwww!' She cooed, 'you so do like him! Nathan is a cute name!' She was getting a little carried away but I kind of liked hearing it.

'You can stop now.' I laughed and she apologised again.

For the rest of the day every time I saw Marika she would tease me about Nathan, things like, 'Sophie and Nathan sitting in a tree K-I-S-S-I' you get the idea. At lunch we sat next to each other and we were talking about what she'd been up to at the weekend, which made a change from talking about my weekend, when Paula, Chiara and Jessa joined us. They are my four closest friends at school.

'Hey guys!' Paula smiled at us setting down her tray. Chiara and Jessa followed suit, we all laughed and smiled, talking about a range of subjects. I had actually forgotten about yesterday when suddenly Marika cut in over us talking.

'Guys! Sophie likes a boy!' I gave her a look that said 'what on Earth are you doing!?' She looked at me replying. 'Oh, you didn't want them to know?'

'It's a bit late now isn't it!' I shouted. All four of them started firing questions at me. 'Where did you meet?' Does he like you too?' 'Did you kiss!?' I really wasn't in the mood to answer so it was lucky that the bell rang for the end of lunch just as they were talking. I got up in silence without so much as a goodbye. Yeah I was being a bitch but my emotions were all over the place so you couldn't blame me.

I basically spoke to no one for the rest of the afternoon apart from the occasional 'hey' when someone greeted me or 'sure' when someone asked me to pass them something. I practically sprinted home when the bell went and the second I reached my house I unlocked the door, ran upstairs and collapsed onto the bed, a long sigh escaping my lips. Just as my eyes began to creep closed and there was nothing I could do to stop them I was startled by a loud noise on the other side of the room. 'Beep beep' 'beep beep' my phone vibrated on my drawers as it rang. The struggle to get up and answer it was unreal but I forced myself.

My heart sank as I looked at the name on the screen, Charlotte, I took a moment before declining the call and returning back to my bed. I sat there head in my hands thinking about how stupid I'd been, when the incident had happened I wasn't thinking straight, so I just left the field without even saying bye to Jack and Charlotte, I sort of stormed off and it was completely uncalled for. Suddenly my phone vibrated again, this time it was a message.

'We need to talk' I didn't reply at first but she was making me feel guilty for what I'd done so I dialled her number. There was no answer for about 5 seconds until she finally picked up. It was clear that neither of us wanted to speak first so for a second or two there was an extremely awkward silence until I suddenly felt the urge to speak.

'I'm sorry' I burst out.

'You should be' for a moment I thought she was being serious and I felt a sense of guilt but she soon started laughing and I knew we were back to normal again. 'Don't run off like that again though, okay?'

'Of course I won't! I was just being a-' her voice cut in over mine.

'Bitch?' I laughed at the way she knew exactly what I was going to say,

'Yes' I managed through the laughter, she joined in and we ended up in hysterics for no reason.

'Oh my god I almost forgot!' She shouted causing me to have to move the phone away from my ear.

'Could you say it any louder!?' I said sarcastically.

'Sorry!' She shouted again, 'I'm just excited!'

'Okay, what is it?' I questioned.

'Are you free on Thursday?' She asked in a hopeful tone.

'Umm...yeah I think so why?'

'Be at the school at 9pm!'

'Okay...but wh-'

'Just be there!' She shouted hanging up.
