High School Crush

Chapter Sixteen

I dedicate this chapter to @ellabella_x for being super amazing!

I'd like to say that I woke up to my alarm buzzing but sadly, I can't because that would be a lie. If you haven't got the message, I slept in. Big time. I woke up and checked the time, I had ten minutes to be ready for school. Being the usual panicky me I, let's just say, panicked. I grabbed my uniform and chucked it on, I attempted to brush my hair but it was too knotty so I left it. Bed head style. I raced around my room frantically looking for my puke tie but I couldn't find it.

'CURT!' I screamed.

Curt came running into my bedroom, an alarmed look on his face, 'What!?'

'Where's my puke tie?' I huffed, chucking the socks, bras and pants that I was clenching in my fists (I was rumaging around for my tie, no other reason). I puffed and made my fringe fly in exasperation as Curt told me that it was downstairs on the sofa, 'thanks.'

I literally flew down the stairs. I was trying to be quick seeing as I now had 7 minutes before I had to be at school so I started sprinting down the stairs but I tripped over and flew through the air and landed at the bottom of the stairs.

I cursed. Loudly.

'Mind your language.' Curt laughed as he came walking down the stairs all casual.

'Oh shut up. You swear way more than m, you douche!' I snapped, 'God.'

I got up and hopped into the lounge (I'd twisted my foot after landing funny on it). I found my puke tie and wrapped it round my neck. I ended up practically strangling myself and Curt laughing like a hyena at me. Great way to start the day off, hey?

I grabbed myself a kiwi from the fruit bowl, cut it open, grabbed a spoon, flung my bag over my shoulder and headed for the door. Curt was now waiting outside the house for me so I hobbled over to him with my kiwi.

'Ew.' Curt wrinkled his nose in disgust as I shovelled a load of kiwi in my mouth.

'Just 'cause you don't like -'

'Hate.' Curt interrupted.

I cleared my throat, 'Hate kiwi doesn't mean you have to go on about it. It's my favourite food so shut the hell up and let me eat in peace.'

Curt just gagged.

We got to school with a minute to spare. I hobbled to my locker and grabbed the books I needed. I wasn't sure what to do with the spoon i was carrying so I chucked it in my locker. I'd thrown the kiwi skin away so I didn't have to worry about that. I ran down the hall way and reached Classroom 13.

I pushed open the door out of breath, 'I'm so sorry I'm late...' I panted.

'It's alright Nikki, take a seat sweet.' Miss Pillo smiled her usual sweet smile at me as I collapsed in the seat next to Nathan.

'Out of breath much?' He winked at me.

I grunted in response.

He smirked he usual sexy smirk and I died...

'So, you like me then.' Nathan whispered.

I blushed, 'Um...'

He grinned. Oh damn... He'd seen my blush. Cringe!

I sighed and looked away from him.

'You dooooooo!'

I just didn't reply.

'Well then. If you're not gonna reply...' He was silent for a while before I felt his breath on my neck as he whispered, 'I like you... A lot...'

My breath hitched and I couldn't breath. I knew I liked Nathan despite how much I wanted not to. I couldn't help it, my feelings got the better of me. I tried so hard not to fall for him, not to fall in love, but now it's too hard - I can't fight my feelings any longer. And after the kiss... I felt sparks fly. Plus, whenever I'm with him it feels right, I feel happy. But then again, Ty... Ty was just the school player to me now, the school player that hurt me.
