Chapter 4 – Being Nasty
[Natalie's POV]
I was pretty sure that it was Hayley. I knew her voice since she was one of my bestfriends. I knew I couldn't be wrong. And I knew that even though it was dark, once she took a look closely inside the mirror of the room, she would see us. She would see us having this scene.
I removed Adam from inside me and lowered my head so I could whisper something to him, "You locked the door, right?" he took a nod. "You know that everytime I see you, I get kind of nasty...but you need to do this,"
"Need to do what?" he asked in a low tone of voice.
"Need to ask Hayley out and get together with her,"
"What?" he stared at me. I already explained it to him right? I already explained it to him that Hayley liked him and I thought he got the idea of what I wanted him to do. I thought that he didn't want to do it, but he needed to give it a try. "Why?"
Believe it or not, I enjoyed having sex with him. It really felt like heaven. But I was worried that someone else would find out so I thought that it was better for him to have a girlfriend so he couldn't flirt with me anymore. And I knew that I would back off when that happened especially when Hayley was the one we were talking about.
I knew that Adam would get a benefit by doing it. His popularity would double just by having the most popular girl in school as a girlfriend.
I didn't know how to threaten people but I would give it a try. I didn't know if it would work because it was about me anyway, not about him. "If you don't want to do it, just tell me, and I'll get off this city and transfer to another school. In that way, we wouldn't see each other anymore which is good... no, better."
I had a reason. It was just I really didn't want to steal my bestfriend's ideal man away from her. I was shocked to see that he bought my threat. He became bothered, "Okay, just don't leave, okay?" then he mumbled something I couldn't understand. I thought he said something like, "I don't want to let you go again." but the thought that was formed in my head was something that I knew that he wouldn't say.
Maybe I misheard him.
"What?" I asked him. His voice was too low. "I can't understand you."
"Nothing, I said I'll do it." He just frowned and I kind of felt sorry for him. But I was sure that he would like Hayley sooner or later. Even though Hayley was sarcastic and mean, she was a great girl and she could really make you happy most of the time.
"Great, I want you to approach her now." I told him and he was still frowning.
"Okay,"
We wore all our scattered clothes again. Good, this was the last time that we were going to do this. But I was still thinking of how he got bothered when I threatened him a while ago. It was like he didn't want me to go even though I was just bluffing. His facial expression told me that he knew me a long time ago.
But was it possible that he knew me? I swore I hadn't seen him before.
"Just leave me here and approach her. I'll be fine," once he fully-clothed his self, he went outside. I just sat on the floor and leaned on the teacher's table. Something inside me thought that letting Adam go was a mistake.
I searched my pockets for my iPhone, placed the earphones where they should be, listened and tried to get Adam out of my mind.
But something bothered my mind.
Maybe I couldn't.
[Adam's POV]
I walked out of the door, hearing the girl you loved giving you out to her best friend was as painful as the bullying I got when I was still in middle school. I didn't want to lose her again so I agreed. Could you imagine how great it was? I was going to hook up with the bestfriend of the girl that I loved.
I wanted to tell her I loved her, for a very long time now, but my gut told me that she wouldn't believe me, even if I told her the truth.
I wandered the hallways, looking for Hayley. It was just in time that I finally caught up with her. "Hayley!" I called. I saw her turned around to look at me. "I was looking for you everywhere,"
"You were?" I saw Hayley's face lit up. She expected me to like her. Natalie expected me to like her.
Did Natalie think something of me?
Just a little bit?
Did she think of me of not just some hot guy who wanted to have sex with her but a guy who wanted to take care of her and protect her from anyone?
"I really like you for a long time now," I blurted out the words, not thinking of the consequences once I said it.
"I was waiting for you to say that," she looked happy. Natalie would be happy once I did this, right?
"I thought so," I gave her a wry smile. I seemed plastic. I didn't like her and most importantly, I didn't want her. And the person that I liked the most urged me to do this. "Hey, Hayley."
"Yes?" she asked. I knew I could say it. I just needed to imagine that Natalie was the one in front of me.
I just needed to imagine that she was Natalie.
I needed to get this over with.
"Will you be mine?" I asked her.
Maybe, just maybe, I would learn to love her.
[Natalie's POV]
Why couldn't I get Adam out of my mind? I didn't want this. I didn't want to have this funny feeling towards a guy. It was kind of creepy for me.
Maybe Adam and Hayley were making out right now. Smooching each other rapidly, not being able to breathe.
I should be happy for Hayley. I knew for myself that she was happy.
But why did my chest hurt so badly?
This reason kept bugging me.
And I hated it.
My song was already finished. Maybe it was time for me to go. My emo session was already over.
I was about to go out when I saw some school jocks coming inside the room that I was staying at. And it was just in time for them to notice me.
There were three of them.
"This is what I call lucky," said the familiar brunette jock but I didn't know what his name was.
"Yeah, we're going to bang Ms. Natalie Adams and I can see that it's going to be great." The blonde jock grinned at me wildly.
