Chapter Seven

You know that one movie when the girl walks into a crowded party, and sees that one guy she's been crushing on? And as if there weren't anyone in the room, they meet in the middle, keeping their eyes on each other? Then they confess their love for each other and live, somewhat, happily-ever-after?

Yeah, well, that didn't happen to me. When I walked into the New Year's Eve party I noticed Nate right away, but he was laughing at whatever Savannah was saying.

She was just as pretty as I thought she was. She looks like she just left from a photoshoot. She has a gorgeous 100-watt smile, long blonde hair, hazel eyes. She was wearing a black long-sleeved mini dress and gold heels. Completely perfect, I guess.

This was the kind of girl Nate likes? A real life barbie?

I shook my head, trying to focus on something other than them.

The party was fully decorated with 'Happy New Year!' signs and what not. Some guest were wearing 2016 glasses, dancing to the music without a care in the world.

Noelle and Jessica pulled me over where the guys were, including Nate and Savannah.

"Hey, guys!" Jess said.

"Hey, I was wondering when you were going to get here." Bradley said, with a huge smile on his face.

I glanced over at Nate, who was slowing making his way over to us, with Savannah around his arm.

"Hi," he said, as he came up to me. "Uh, Savannah, this is Marissa." He completely avoided my eyes as if he and I were ever a thing.

I swear she was glaring at me before she plastered on a fake smile. "Hi! It's so nice to meet you. Nate has told me so much about you."

I nodded and smiled. "Yeah, same."

"Marissa just moved here a few months ago. She's a year under us." Nate explained.

"Okay, well, it was so nice meeting you," Savannah said, pulling Nate away.

Okay, I now understand what Noelle and Jessica were talking about; Somewhat. If Nate's eyes weren't trained on her, then I'm pretty sure she would been scowling at me the whole few seconds they were talking to me.

"So, how was meeting Savannah?" Jess asked, as she and Noelle walked up behind me.

"I don't like her. She had a scowl on her face before she even laid eyes on me."

Noelle laughed. "She has that look when any female interacts with Nate. She acts like he is her property and no one can touch him but her. Even his sister."

I shook my head. "I just don't understand. Nate doesn't seem like the type to be with a bitch like Savannah."

"She wasn't like that when we first met, before she and Nate started dating. We all use to hang out in middle school and ninth grade, and then all of a sudden, after summer break, she felt we were 'too young' to be around when we were only a year under her. That's when they started dating, and when she turned into a possessive bitch. Nate couldn't be around us if she wasn't there because she thought one of us would take him from her." Jessica explained.

Just hearing all of this and the fact that Nate is involved with it, kind of makes me not even want to try. I mean, I don't have time to want to be around a guy who is still stuck up on a girl who thinks of him as property and who is too blind to see that she is nothing more than a manipulative bitch.

I sigh. "Let's not talk about them anymore. It's the New Year, let's have some fun!"

They laugh and we head out onto the dance floor. The whole time we were on the dance floor, I could feel Savannah glaring at me as she and Nate danced. I wasn't paying much attention to her, but I feel like she just wanted me to look her in the eye, or to just look at them in general.

The DJ announced it was 11:55 and then practically turned the lights off. I couldn't see a damn thing and I almost tripped over someone. I lost Noelle, Jess, Bradley, and Nick as everyone paired off. I was pushed and pulled in every direction before being caught by someone.

"Sorry!" I shouted over the loud chatter of people.

"It's okay," someone who sounded like Nate said.

"Where's Savannah?" I ask.

"I'm not sure. I think she went to the restroom." he replied.

I couldn't see his face clearly, but I'm pretty sure he was trying to completely avoid looking directly at me.

"Are you trying to avoid me?" I ask.

"No, why would you say that?"

"Because right now you're not even looking at me and earlier you couldn't get away fast enough."

He scratched the back of his head and laughed nervously. "Sorry, it's just weird, I guess."

That's when the countdown began.

"10.."

"It's only weird if you make it weird." I said.

"9.."

There was silence between us as the people around us continued to countdown.

"8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2... Happy New Year!" everyone yelled grabbing the nearest person to kiss.

Before I could turn and walk away, Nate's hand was on my waist, pulling me into him and pressing his lips to mine, making me go weak in the knees. I wrapped my arms around his neck, pulling him closer.

At this moment there were a few things running through my mind.

What the hell is happening right now?

What if Savannah see's us?

This kiss is mind blowing.

I want to punch Nate in the face right now.

I don't want this kiss to end.

But it did. Our kiss ended abruptly when the she-devil herself pulled us apart, almost knocking me on my ass.

"What the hell are you doing kissing my boyfriend!?" she yelled.

"Um, he kissed me, so you're yelling at the wrong person."

"You better stay away from my boyfriend! I don't want to see you anywhere near him. If you see him walking down the hall, you walk the other way. Do you understand me?"

I rolled my eyes. "Last time I checked, I don't have to answer or listen to you."

She glared harshly at me, then pull Nate away.

I couldn't believe Nate basically just stood there. What the actual hell? I'm done. I'm done thinking about Nate. Done wondering how he feels about me because clearly I mean absolutely nothing to him. I can't believe I wasted my time just thinking about him. I just want to punch him in the face. I want to punch him for making me feel the way I feel about him. For making me all nervous when I'm around him because I've never felt that way about any guy before.

"Are you okay?" Jess asked as I walked back to them.

"No, I'm not okay, but I will be." I said.

This is not how I wanted the New Year to start. I can already feel it. This year is going to suck.

****

This chapter gives you a feel of Savannah. Do we love her or do we hate her? I'm not liking her that much.

My apologies for taking so long to update. I've just been a little suck, but I will try my hardest to get more chapters out soon.

Don't forget to vote, comment, and share. The more I get, the more I'll want to update.
