Stalking Charlie

Bad Drug

Nick Stone

"Bye, dad."

Marco just nodded his head at me and drove away as soon as I had the car door shut. He's back to ignoring me.

I trudged to the entrance of the school with my head bent. It had been hell riding to school every morning with my father not talking to me.

"Hey, Nick."

Natasha matched my stride, her arm circling around mine. She tilted her head towards me, offering her lips for a kiss.

I frowned down at her, staring at her pretty gray eyes. I'm not really in the mood for this.

Beautiful set of warm chocolate eyes flashed before my eyes.

Dammit.

I pulled Natasha roughly to me and kissed her, removing Charlie's image in my mind. But the more I deepened my kiss with this willing chic in my arms, the more I can't take her out of my head.

Get out, get out, GET OUT! I shouted inside my head, wanting Charlie to leave me alone.

I can still smell her, I can almost feel her. Kissing Natasha isn't gonna get her out of my mind.

Dammit, she's like a fucking drug that lingers in my system. And I can't seem to shake her off.

"Nicky.." she breathed when we gulped for air. Her hands fisted my hair, while mine are resting on her waist.

Found you..

I blinked. That was-

Natasha pulled my head down and kissed me again before I had the chance to take a step back. She was exploring my mouth expertly with her tongue, when I felt something hard hit the back of my head.

"Nicolas!"

I pushed Natasha away from me and looked around. There was my sister, standing with her hand aiming another heavy book at me. She's glaring at me furiously.

Beside Alex is her girlfriend Charlie. She has her dark glasses on, her hands inside the pockets of her hoodie. She made no attempt to stop Alex from berating me, she just looked on uninterestedly.

"Right in the middle of the campus?! Really?!" Alex hissed disgustedly.

"It's quite ironic to hear that coming from you." Natasha sneered at Alex before I can open my mouth to explain.

"And just what do you mean by that?" Alex scowled.

Natasha laughed, pointing at Alex as if she had just said something hilariously funny. I saw Kenneth walk towards us with a curious frown.

"Honey, don't act like you're a prude. You're the one with a lesbian lover. What Nick and I have is more socially accepted that yours will ever be." she drawled, looking at me seductively. "Even if we make out in public-"

"Natasha." I growled, stopping her from insulting my sister further.

Alex's face turned red, her eyes brimming with tears as she looked around and noticed our schoolmates watching us. She picked up the book she threw at me and stormed away from us before I could stop her.

I looked at Charlie who was still standing on her spot. She didn't make any move to follow Alex.

"Well, aren't you going after your girlfriend?" I asked.

She shrugged at me, her face devoid of any emotion.

"Wasn't me who made her cry." Charlie said coolly.

I stared at her incredulously as she strolled leisurely the opposite way where Alex went.

"Nicky?" Natasha called me softly, her hand cupping my cheek.

I tore her hand off me angrily, and she looked up at me, confused.

"Don't call me that," I snarled at her as it reminded me of Charlie's pet name for me besides Rocky. "And don't talk to my sister like that again!"

I ran after my sister, leaving Natasha stunned. I heard the bell ring, indicating the start of class.

Dammit!

I walked to my classroom, disgusted at myself for not defending my own twin. I bet she's murdering me in her mind right now.

I've been doing a lot of things wrong these past few weeks. And it's all surrounding one girl.

Charlie. What's wrong with her? She seems uninterested at what had transpired, and didn't care about Alex's feelings.

Was it because of me? She's been quiet since that day we kissed. She rarely come out of her room, and whenever she does, it's to go to the gym. My father always drives her.

Is she gonna break up with Alex? I felt something warm sprung inside me with the idea, spreading all over my body, making me smile like an idiot.

If Charlie break up with Alex, I get a chance to-

Hurt my sister. I thought sadly.

I hung my head in shame. I shouldn't have kissed Charlie. But it's hard to regret doing something you've always wanted to do, however bad it was.

I should talk to Charlie. And Alex. I want to do everything right. I want Charlie, and I have to-

"Fuck."

I stopped on my tracks, my eyes burning because of the scene before me.

It's Ashley Banks and Charlie Raven, making out in the middle of the hallway.
