Coming Home

(4) New Friends

Chapter 4 (Hannah’s POV)

~ Flashback~

Nate and I were running along the beach holding hands and enjoying the weather when some fool tripped him up. Nate slashed the top of his eyebrow against a sharp piece of glass. What the heck was that doing there anyway? That fool and his friends started laughing but immediately shut up when I shot them my dirtiest glare ever and helped Nate up. Well it was obvious he tripped Nate up as a dare.

“Oh my gosh you, are you okay?” I exclaimed.
“Yes, I’m fine don’t worry.” Nate answered frowning.
“Let’s go to mum and check it out” I suggested.
He rolled his eyes at me but followed me anyways.

~ End of Flashback ~

Someone coughed and that snapped me out of my flashback. It was even more awkward when I realised that I was staring directly at Nate that whole time, he smirked at me and I felt the heat rising up to my cheeks. Cassie raised her eyebrows at me suggestively and Noah was smirking too. I guess Nate and Noah get along well. I glared at Cassie and she immediately dropped her eyebrows. I smiled triumphantly.

“Uh... I uh” I stuttered.

“Don’t worry sweetcheeks, I’m used to girls ogling at me, I mean who wouldn’t?” Nate responded with that sexy smirk of his. Damn he’s hot.

“Slow down there. If you didn’t realise I zoned out there doofus, I wasn’t ogling at you, you know why?” I stood up to look at him, proud of this new confidence I gained.

“Why?”

I walked towards him and whispered in his ear “because I’ve seen better.”

Obviously Nate wasn’t used to that because I just wiped his smirk clean off his face. Noah and Cassie were sitting there with confused expressions; haha you can see the similarities between them now. At first glance they don’t look like twins, more like cousins. I walked out the door proudly and stepped into my dorm room. As soon as I got in though, all the confidence disappeared and I broke down. That was Nate! Nate Daniels! My best friend! Wait can I even call him that considering we haven’t spoken for 10 years? That wasn’t what I was upset about though because I was right about another thing, he doesn’t remember me. I don’t even know why he should though, he’s probably moved on, got a gorgeous girlfriend and even a new best friend. Oh well, I shouldn’t be worrying over his life, I’m in uni and have to focus on my own life.

Nate’s POV

“Damn boy that girl put you in your place!” Noah exclaimed after I told him and Cassie what she said to me. I was still standing there shocked; no girl has ever spoken to Nate Daniels like that. She’s different though. She looked beautiful, wait what? No I don’t find her beautiful. She’s hot and she’s got a pair of sexy legs on her, damn. I couldn’t get my eyes off her.

“Shut up dude it’s nothing like that” I replied.

“Oh shut up Nate. Noah’s right and judging by your shocked expression I’m pretty sure no girl has spoken to you that way.” Cassie said.

I didn’t bother responding and started to unpack, hearing them snickering. They were quiet, but not quiet enough.

Me, Cassie and Noah have been best friends when we met each other about 6 years ago; we planned to split up for university but surprisingly the course that the twins wanted to do were available here so they moved in as well. I’m glad to be honest, they’re the only ones who know me well and can handle my sexy self. Plus it would’ve taken way too much effort to speak to people and get to know them and then become friends with them. Ain’t nobody got time for that bullshit. I’m guessing that since Hannah is Cassie’s friend, she’s going to be part of our little group.

Hannah. Sassy, sexy and confident. She wore those thick glasses which made me instantly think that she’s a nerd.  

“Nate. Nate. NATE!” The twins shouted in my ear.

“WHAT?!”

“Somebody’s daydreaming” Noah spoke with a smirk on his face.

“I wasn’t daydreaming about Hannah!”

“Who said anything about Hannah?” I narrowed my eyes at him but that seemed to make his smirk bigger, if that was even possible.

“HEY GUYS I’M STILL HERE! Listen up, Noah stop teasing Nate and Nate you better keep your hands off her, I haven’t known her for long but I don’t want her getting hurt like your other ‘girlfriends’ comprendes?” Cassie bossed around.

“Yes boss!” I replied.

Cassie raised her eyebrow at me but didn’t say anything and just left the room.

“When did your sister become Spanish Noah?” I asked.

“I don’t know she’s a weirdo.”I didn’t bother saying anything back to him because I knew it was true, so I just continued unpacking.

Hannah’s POV

I just got dressed in Hollister sweatpants and a blue tank top when Cassie walked into the room, smiling to herself. She went to have a shower and I just sat on my bed and continued reading “There’s a Thin Line between Love and Hate” on wattpad. I love that book so much so it’s a definite re-read. About 20 minutes later Cassie popped out of the shower and sat down on her bed.

“What are you reading?” She questioned.

“There’s a Thin Line between Love and Hate, how did you know I was reading?”

“I saw the wattpad logo on your phone when I passed by. Tell me about yourself Hannah! I wanna know more about the girl I’m going to be staying and hanging out with this year”I smiled and started talking about myself.

“My full name is Hannah Louise Clarke. I’m 17 years old but will be 18 on 9th of April. My parents are quite rich. My favourite animals are puppies because they’re so friggin cute! I’m a HUGE fan of One Direction and Nicki Minaj so yeah. My favourite colour is baby blue. I’m an only child so I feel lonely sometimes and I don’t have many friends because they all use me for my money. I’m currently single.” Her eyes widened at that.

I chuckled and continued. “I love art, books and music, people say I have an amazing voice but I think otherwise. I’m quite hyper around close ones but usually I stay to myself. I’m here because I want to be a designer when I’m older and that’s it I guess, what about you?”

“Wait hold on there. Hannah Clarke? As in the daughter of Steve and Maria Clarke?” She enquired.

“Yeh why?” I answered.

“My mum and dad work with your mum and dad! We’re the Smiths?” My eyes widened in realisation.

“OMG! That’s so cool, why didn’t we meet before? Anyways describe yourself!” I said, wanting to know more about her.

“My full name is Cassidy Danielle Smith but I prefer it when people call me Cassie. I’m 18 years old sucker! My birthday was 18th of February so about a month ago. I prefer cats to dogs just because I get along with them better. I love One Direction too! I also like The Vamps and One Republic. My favourite colour is red because it’s awesome. I have a twin brother whom you’ve already met and he is a complete dickhead but does have his sweet moments and that’s really it. My parents are really busy with their business so they didn’t have time for another kid. I’m taken by the sweetest boyfriend ever, I love him too much to let go so we’re trying out long distance. Noah and I have known Nate for a few years that’s why we have such good chemistry. I love kids and teaching so I’m here for a teaching degree.”

I laughed at that but found it cute she had an amazing boyfriend, I’d love for someone to love me for me and not my money. One day Hannah, one day. We kept talking for what seemed like minutes but the clock said otherwise; it was 11pm. We were speaking for four hours?! Whoa time flies fast. Cassie and I both yawned and decided we’ll talk tomorrow. I snuggled up into bed, ready for my first lecture tomorrow! I hope university is worth it.
