~
Love comes easily to all; But, We choose to make it difficult.
Nathan's POV I really don't know how it started, I don't how how I fell in love with the her, but I do remember the first time I saw her, with her hair tied up in a bun and spectacles on the bridge of her nose. She stood in front of the principal's room with her arms crossed on her chest as she tapped her foot on the ground matching of the rhythm of the lullaby that escaped the music room near by.
She took no notice of me. Although I had seen her a lot of time in my house because she was with my sister doing stuff with her like painting each other nails, painting our dogs coco cola and pepsi's nails, just hanging out and doing other weird stuff. It was the first time, I had actually noticed her. Noticed that she didn't even have eye liner on yet she was so attractive. Her cheeks were red as if she was crying or was in the sun for too long. I saw Brittany pass by and as soon as her eyes landed on me she walked towards me.
Now I wished that she wouldn't have see me. I really wanted to ask Ariel out and tell her what I actually felt for her. But I knew she wouldn't say yes. She was my sister's best friend for god's sake. No matter what I wanted to say or feel I knew that I would have to muster up a lot of courage to ask her out and tell her what I felt.
As Brittany got closer and closer, I just wished that I could disappear. She came to me and I automatically stood up, she crushed her body on to mine and wrapped her hands around my shoulder blades. Seeing the commotion Ariel turned her face towards us but then rolled her eyes and started ignoring us.
"How are you?" She asked me while her eyes and hands roamed over my body, "are you hurt? What happened?" She said and put her hands on my cheek.
"Nothing, it wasn't that-" I tried to say in a hushed voice in hope that Ariel wouldn't hear our conversation. I didn't want her to see me like this and especially not with her. I wanted her to see that I was a nice guy and I was more to the basketball player that the school knew me as. I wanted to tell her that I was great and nice; capable of love which was real, honest and naked.
"I was so worried about you," she told me and kissed me on my lips. I again hoped that Ariel won't see us. I took a breath and tried to think about stuff which was not her, which did not involve Britanny. She was a nice person, the head of the cheerleader and the number one girl to date in our school. She was pretty and had a nice breast and butt, I'm not speaking for myself but that was enough for a lot of guys here. As long as she could moan the right way, nothing else mattered for some.
I was dating her because that's what it was supposed to be like. Her dad and my dad were friends, we were almost like family, our dads grew up together became business partners and now it was expected of us to live together, because with us they could both be more that just business partners, they could become family for real.
"You may both come inside," I heard our school principal's personal assistant mummer and I excused myself from Brittany.
I looked at Ariel and she stood in the corner, my eyes met hers and she just smiled, and I knew it wasn't a real one, she had tears in her eyes and she tilted her head upwards to make her tears disappear. I walked up to her and I wanted to tell her that it was okay but no words came out of my mouth, I wanted to console her but I didn't know how I was supposed to do that. So I stood beside her hoping that my aura would calm her. She stepped forward and opened the door which lead to the principal's room and stepped aside.
She held the door knob in one hand and and looked at me. What was she going? She then gestured for me to enter the the room. I was shocked, wasn't it supposed to be the other way around?
I held on to my breath, "why don't do inside first? I'll hold the door for you!"
She looked at me and rolled her eyes, have I said anything stupid? Did I say something that I shouldn't have said? Then why did she roll her eyes at me. Stay calm bro, stay calm.
I walked inside and she walked behind me. Suddenly I heard the door clash with her feet and she stumbled forward. Before I knew what I was going, I tried to hold on to her and stretched my hand forward in hope that she would take hold of it.
She saw me stretching my hand at her but she choose to plant her butt on the floor. What the hell she was up to? I looked at her and she looked up at me. She sheepishly smiled at me and then stood up. She dusted her skirt with her hands and started walking again as if nothing had happened.
What was her problem? Why didn't she take my hand? Was it because she had seen my interaction with Brittany before? I huffed and scolded my self for not being careful. I wish I was better than this.
"I hope you both know why we are here?" Our principal asked us. I could literally feel the tension radiating from Ariel's body. What was wrong with her? When we nodded, she looked at us continued, "there is a student exchange program and the teachers and the board have decided that you'll represent our school in Paris, congratulations guys!" She said and cheered for us. I heard Ariel release a breath as if she was holding on to it. What had she thought had happened?
She put her hand on her chest, I could feel her relax. We walked out of the principal's room after mumbling our thanks and before I could say anything to her, she left. She went the other way, completely ignoring my presence.
When I went home that day, I took the liberty to ask Kristien about It. She said, "she is like that, she keeps to herself. It's really hard to know what's going on with her, she likes to keep it her away," when she asked me why I was asking about her, I just told her that a guy friend of mine was asking about her. I guess knowing her would be a very difficult for me. But was being in love with her helped the whole situation? I don't think so.
