I woke up to the sound of my alarm at 6:45 this morning, the bed felt warm, I looked next to me and saw Nate laying by my side with one arm and leg hanging off the bed, he had only his black boxers on and his dark brown hair was messy and covering his face.
I slowly pulled the duvet off me and quietly hopped out of bed, I tip-toed over to my vanity and brushed my hair, I then grabbed my towel off the bedroom door and walked into our bathroom, I shut and locked the door and started to run the shower.
15 minutes of singing in the shower had passed and I had got out, I walked into our bedroom with my towel around my chest and another to dry my hair, "finally" Nate laughed, I always showered first as I was always quick, although recently my showers have been longer to clear my head. Nate walked straight past me and into the bathroom to shower, I know I've been gone for a few days but normally he would at least kiss my forehead, whether I wanted him to or not, something sketchy was definitely going on, although I pushed the thought to the back of my mind and would just save it until later. I looked through my wardrobe and pulled my plain grey jumper over my head, I then looked in my chest of drawers and pulled on some black, ripped, skinny jeans, I brushed my wet hair once more and went downstairs to eat breakfast. I was midway through my bowl of cereal when Nate walked downstairs, he styled his hair differently, before he had it styled back in a quiff, although now he swept his hair across his face, it suited him "your hair looks nice" I told him, as he sat opposite me with a bowl of cereal for himself "thanks" he muttered, normally he would chat more, but again he said nothing more and devoured his breakfast quickly. Soon he was packing his bag for school, whilst I was drying my wet hair, it was soon done so I flicked my long brown hair off my shoulders and ran downstairs to Nate "you ready?" He asked, I nodded, we walked out the house and to the nearest bus stop, the bus soon arrived so we hopped on and left for school.

We arrived at school and both jumped off the bus, I looked all around the front gates to see that Katie wasn't there, she obviously didn't see my voicemail "look Alysia, I've got to go to my friends, see you after school" Nate said, he started to walk away "Nate wait!" I cried, grabbing a hold of his arm, he turned around to face me "look I'm sorry I went and stayed at the Comfort Inn, I shouldn't of I should've just ignored our fights and stayed at home, I can tell your annoyed as you called me by my name, you always call me either babe or Sia never alysia, but please, Katie and I had an argument and I guess she didn't get my voicemail, please can you stay with me until I find her" I sighed, looking to the ground in disappointment, Nate placed his hand on my chin and gently lifted it up so I was looking at him "it's okay Sia, I'm sorry too, I need to talk to you after school, but when we're home and private. Of course I'll stay with you until you find Katie, I hope everything works out" I grinned at him and he slipped his hand into mine. We walked into the school gates and were both looking everywhere for Katie, although everyone would stare at me and Nate and give me dirty looks, which would make me feel uneasy, although I tried to just brush it off. Nate and I eventually found Katie, so I told him "I can handle it from here, thanks Nate" he nodded his head and smiled at me, he then jogged off in the opposite direction towards his group of friends. I walked over to Katie, who of course was with Cameron, and tapped her on the shoulder, she turned around smiling, although frowned when she saw me "what are you doing here?" she asked me in a disgusted tone, "did you get my voicemail?" I asked her, she laughed slightly "no!" I sighed, I looked behind her and to Cameron, who was giving me the most disgusting look, this was something private so I pulled Katie aside "what?!" She asked, I took a deep breath "look I know your annoyed with me, and you have the right to be so I'm sorry for arguing with you and calling you shallow, although I don't think it's fair that you said I would cheat on Nate just because I'm friends with another boy" she rolled her eyes "but I went home, and back to Nate, and coincidently when your the one saying I'm cheating, he was acting really strangely and took me straight up to our room, I then heard him arguing downstairs with another girl, when I heard the door slam I looked out the window and saw a girl running in only her underwear... explain that! So I'm not the cheater, he is! So I've already apologised, and I think it's time you do too as I thought our friendship was more than this!" She looked to the ground shaking her head "I'm not apologising" she said, my jaw dropped, I thought we had a strong and important friendship...obviously not. "Why?" I asked her "I've apologised and told you that I think my boyfriend is cheating on me, as my best friend you should also apologise and support me through this" she shook her head again
"I don't have time for this" she said, she walked back to Cameron and whilst doing so I heard her mutter under her breath "slag."

First lesson really dragged on, it was Maths, we were doing algebra which I struggle with anyway, let alone when I have everything rushing through my mind, Katie, how I thought we had an unbreakable bond but she just ditched me because I'm friends with another boy, The fact that Katie thinks I was cheating on Nate, the fact that I think Nate is cheating on me, and all the dirty looks I've been given, and it all leads back to one person... Shawn. I couldn't stop thinking about him, he's the only person that has supported me, I would tell my parents but dad wouldn't understand and mum is away with work, so that doesn't help, Shawn is the only person I can actually trust.
