Nathan's POV As I was sitting in my room with my legs popped up on the table and with my pen in my mouth and bandana on my forehead to make sure that my hair wouldn't fall on my forehand I wondered about school, about life. It was also to prevent it from supporting my urge for a buzz cut a again, I mean I knew life wasn't always fair to everyone, but it was just like this. I knew I was in popular in school because I played basketball for my school team and to make it look more cliche I had blond hair but sometimes I wondered if things would have been the same if I wasn't famous. If I wasn't this blond guy with bloody blue eyes and if I wasn't into sports like I am right now. Would they like me the same? Would they flung over me the same way? I didn't know, I could never know. Would they like me if I was stripped of all the things I had? If I didn't have the car I did, or the money that made everyone swoon?
Would I have been with the same people I am right now? Or would I have had been a little or totally different? The idea of not having friends made me uneasy. I was snapped out of my trials of thoughts when I heard the phone ring but I didn't know where I had kept it. I stood up and checked my pockets but I didn't feel anything. I ran across my room and jumped on my bed, I checked underneath the pillow and then I ruffled my blanket. I followed the ringtone and before I could do anything it stopped ringing. Where had I left my phone?
The phone started ringing again, then it suddenly crossed my mind that I had kept my phone in my gym bag, since coach didn't allow phones on the court. I remember once Mathew had phone in his gym shorts and it rung during the practice, then coach had processed asked him to run the track field until he couldn't stand up, it was crazy.
"Hello," I said as I picked up the phone. When I saw that he was calling me I knew he wanted to invite me to a party or something like that. That was the basketball team was for, keeping each other's back on the court and for crazy parties that people threw all over the town.
"Hey, man, what's up?" He greeted me and then continued, "there is a party at Nicole's, want to give it a short?" He said and laughed. Nicole, I had heard that name somewhere, but I don't remember from where.
"Nicole?" I hoped that he would give me some clue in who this girl was.
"That's the same girl, the hot one who dropped out of collage because she wanted to throw parties and-"
"Oh, yeah, that Nicole," I cut him off, I didn't want to know anymore about her. If you wanted to know anything about anyone, Mathew was the guy. He was the ears, mouth and eyes of the team. Always made sure that everyone was up to date with hot gossip. Mathew the gossip girl, xoxo.
"So you in, man?" He asked me, I knew that party wasn't that big of a deal plus and mum and dad won't have minded if I wanted to go, it was a Friday night after all. People don't have anything to do anyway. I was going to say yes until I heard Ariel's voice in the kitchen down stairs. I wanted to investigate-if she and my sister were going to have a night stay.
"I'm sorry man, maybe next time. I got to run some errands for dad, Tell Nicole I apologized for my absence, see you later mate," I said and he hung up on me. I knew Nicole wouldn't be happy that I wasn't there, she made sure that the whole basketball team was there when she threw a party. The run errands for my dad was also a total lie, mom and dad were out on a Friday night day- they called the night, 'me nights' where they pretended to a couple without children, I'm guessing. It made them feel alive and young.
I walked down the stairs as silently as possible and went to the kitchen. I could hear my sister talking loudly to Ariel while chewing some thing. Pepsi and Coco Cola were also sitting there near the stool where my sister sat.
"What are you guys up to?" I asked them when I entered the kitchen, coco cola and Pepsi wiggled their tails when they say me buy they didn't bother to greet me by coming near me. I tried to act cool and be as causal as I could be. I guess dad was right, they were becoming more and more lazy day by day. But they were still my babies, lazy or not.
When Kristen saw me she narrowed her eyes at me and looked at me suspiciously. "What are you going here?" She looked at me and I almost feared that she knew why I was there.
"Well I live in the house too- if you didn't know," I said and continued, "I thought I would stay in for the night? What are you up to?" I asked her while I took the liberty to look at Ariel who was wearing her white pajama which had the design of little moon and stars on it. She wore a top with thin straps I guess that's what you call the work out shirt or something like that.
"We're just going to drink some wine and chill after you leave obviously," She told me and brushed me off. I guess it was my cue to leave.
"I'm ordering pizza," I told them, "do you guys want something?" I looked at Kristien and then at Ariel. They both looked at each other and nodded.
"Why are you being so nice to me? Anyways I would like to have a pineapple pizza and," she said and looked at Ariel. I turned to look at her as well and she raised her eye brow. "Come on, be fast," I heard Kristen say to Ariel.
"Uh- I can have a cheese pizza," she raised her eye brow up and then continued, "oh yes with extra onions please," she said and I nodded, I looked at her and smirked; her cheeks turned red and she looked very embarrassed of herself. God, she was cute. I would give 1000 bucks to anyone who would keep my dumb ass sister busy while I dealt with Ariel, but never mind.
I could feel something stir in me when she looked at me like that, I don't even remember the last time she had talked to me while smiling like that. I liked it, I liked it a lot. I could do it forever if I could.
After ordering their pizza and after basically becoming their pizza guy I went back to my room with my pizza box because I knew Kristen was already very suspicious of me. I didn't want her to know about this, otherwise she would have flipped. I laid on my bed hearing them talk and giggle. I hoped they didn't get drunk, mum would have been upset. I stared at the ceiling wondering if I should have gone to the party instead. But on the other hand, I did get to hear Ariel speak, she has a thick baritone, that thick voice that women usually didn't have. I heard a thug ans then Kristen and Ariel started laughing again, from their conversation I could make out that Ariel landed her ass on the floor.
I didn't even realise I had fallen asleep until I heard someone knocking on the door of my room. I got up and stretched, when I opened it, I saw Ariel standing there with a bottle of wine in her hand.
