Chapter 8: Together even with death

The next day Natalie pushed through the bathroom door and stopped when hearing 3 voices.
"I still haven't heard anything from Noah. We were having so much fun in the football field and then he ran off."
"Hes clearly afraid to make a move...you too gorge for his romantic freak Olympics."
Brooke said. Riley giggled.
"Don't be mean."
"I'm not being mean, I'm being brutally honest. It's a different shade of me.....speaking of."
Brooke makes a clicking sound with her mouth and Natalie looks to see her holding lip palm, a pink shade, the penis lipstick.
"Is that what I think it is?"
Riley spits out. Brooke opens the lipstick and applies it to her lower lip.
"Well someone's gotta live the legacy of the vacuum. Oh come one, Nina would be proud."
She presses her lips together and giggles. "Right Em?"
Natalie pushed back into the dark of the bathroom.
"Emma!"
"What?"
"What is with you?"
"It's just..."
Emma starts to talk but Brooke intrudes.
"Your not beating yourself up still about that St.Marys chick right?"
Emma sighs and rolls her eyes.
"I'm sorry for Audrey and all but it wasn't your fault."
"No...it's just. I can't believe Ninas gone. Ya know."
Nat sees everyone's face drop.
"She's with us in spirit."
"Yeah, with all of us..."
Natalie says stepping out of the shadows.
"Nina was a bitch but she didn't deserve to die."
They all smile and Natalie smiles with them.
"Why don't you walk with us Nat?"
Brooke says. Natalie smiles and they all grab there things and leave the bathroom.
They walk down the hall, with Emma looking down at her phone the whole time.
"Hey Em!"
Will pushes into Natalie and she stares at him.
"Excuse me."
"Yeah...Emma do you have a sec."
"Dick head."
Natalie mutters. Brooke, Riley and Nat walked to the side and watched Will and Emma talk.

*Time later.*

"Aristotle said, Why are we here...what's the meaning of life? In the face of death."
"Tylers thinking about that right about now."
Jake says looking at him with his stern eyes. Natalie was sitting infront of him. "Thank you Jake."
Jake chuckles and bro fists a guy in front of Natalie. A bunch of the class mates rolled their eyes.
"See, Aristotle also understood that
Volatile relationships, well they can lead to tragedy."
Jake looked at the back of Natalies head, he glared at her and listened.
"Looking for something Mr.B"
Brooke nicely asked with a smile.
"We're all looking for something Brooke."
Natalie looked back and saw Jake looking back at her. She smirked alittle and he did the same. She turns and looks back at Mr.B.
"See...desire is the heart of drama, Desire for love, money, power. I'm talking about Jason and Medea. Talking about Anthony and Cleopatra."
Branson looks at the wall and takes something from behind a poster.
I'm talking about Emma and Kieran."
"Excuse me?
"I'm splitting you all into pairs...Uh you and your partner will choose a dramatic scene to show in class.
Choose something contemporary, like movies, Audrey and Will."
"If you suggest the pool thing from wild things, I will end you."
The class laughed and Natalie and Audrey smiled at eachother.
"or pick a favorite TV show, Riley and Noah."
Noah and Riley looked at eachother smiling.
"Even popular fiction, Natalie and Jake."
"NO! No fifty shades bullshit."
She points at Jake whispering.
He sticks his tounge out and licks at her. Everyone's laughs.
"And Brooke and Zoe with friendship. Alright let's get the library, I'll pair the rest of you there. Pick a good selection people!"
I grab my things and Jake stands in front of me.
"Why not fifty shades?"
"You such a Mouth breather..."
"Don't you call me that, you love me really."
Natalie laughs and they walked to the library together.

*Moments later*

"Whats about Star wars!"
"No."
"Lord of the rings!"
"Neh."
"Jake! Pick something!"
"The Enders games?"
"Yes! Oh my god we finally agree on something."
Jake laughed and they finally started to work.

*lunch*

Natalie was sitting alone and saw Brooke alone as well, looking all "sexy" or whatever.
Jake comes up behind her and covered her eyes. He sits and talks to her.
"When do you know your the cat or the mouse."
He continues to talk and looks over at Natalie.
"Think about it Brooke."
Be rolls of the bench and comes running to me. Brooke frowns at them and leaves.
"Hey so what ya wanna do."
"Nothing. I wanna sit and relax."
"Really?"
"Yes."
"Okay."
Jake says, he sits beside Natalie and looks at her. She has her eyes closed.
He smiles and closes his eyes aswell.
