You drive me crazy, And, still There is no other place, Where I rather be.
Nathan's POV It was Monday. I had encountered Ariel two days ago when she had accidentally come to my room dragging her drunk ass along. Well, let's just say things happened. Things that's shouldn't have happened but the still did. I just wish the circumstances would have been different, I wish she and I could have been more than what we are at the moment.
I remember how on Friday I had asked Ariel to hide under the bed and how I had asked her to sneak out while I was distracting Brittany, I knew what I was going was wrong but then I couldn't do anything about it, I couldn't let anything happen to Ariel because of me or Brittany.
For a very long time, I had feelings for her. Like I said before I didn't know where they started or ended, but they were there. I was too shocked to even blink. As I stood in front of my locker, I kept looking at the school's entrance door again and again.
I wanted to see her face before I started the day, maybe for good luck or maybe because I just wanted it to be that way. Mason stood next to me with his arms around me. I have told him not to do that but he was Mason, he was my best friend, how could I even expect that he would listen to what I said?
"Dude, what's up with you? Why do you keep looking at the fucking door again and again?" He said, his voice laced with annoyance.
I wanted to lie to him and tell him some shit that I would think of but then he was my best friend so I thought he would understand, "it's just that, I-"
"I, what? What are you hiding from me man?" He questioned again and he caught me again looking at the door.
"Don't tell me you're looking for your supposed to be girlfriend? Why are you even with her-"
"Quit it, I'll talk to you in the basketball court, I'm not in the mood okay?" I said, rather harshly. Mason didn't say anything, he just huffed and before I could even say anything, he left. I was sorry, but I felt more sorry for myself than him.
I kept looking for her but she didn't come through the door, God knows what she was doing. She was supposed to be in school, she never missed school, at least that's what my baby sister said, then why wasn't she here yet?
I looked at the door again and saw her walking down the hallway. Her tie was perfectly tight and she walked swaying her hips from one side to the other, one crazy girl she was or is.
I kept looking at her while she smiled at a few students and she been shook hands with some kids, what the hell? That's what I liked about her, she loved in her own world, never caring about what others had to say. Her eyes fell on mine, she looked at me and arched her eye brows up. Finally she was looking at me.
I smiled at her and she rolled her eyes at me. What the hell? She wasn't even there on the game on Saturday. She stopped at her locker, which was three or four lockers away from me, took her books put, kept her bag in and closed her locker. I kept looking at her, I couldn't take my eyes off her.
She turned a full three sixty degree and then started walking In the other direction, she then turned around, moved her hand from one side to the other and then nodded, she forgot the way. She then started walking in my direction. Taking the time I started walking behind her after making sure that no one was looking at us, I kept my distance from her and I'm pretty sure, she didn't even notice me.
When she started heading for the stairs, taking my chance I pulled her arms and dragged her to the nearest supply closet.
"What are you up to?" She asked me. She was angry, I could feel her eyes burning holes in my body. She crossed her arms overhear chest like always and started tapping her foot on the ground.
"Honestly why are you so restless?" I asked her, I thought she would be surprised if she'll see me but I got the opposite reaction.
"You have a girlfriend! You're already dating!" She almost shouted, I knew she was trying to keep her voice low but let me tell you she was failing miserably.
"So what?"
She looked at me and narrowed her eyes, "so what? Who do you think you're? I'm not going to let you cheat on her with me! Okay?! Don't you get it?"
"What I don't get tell me? Tell me now!" I walked towards her. She first took a step back and then she held on to her ground.
"I'll tell you what I think will happen! If you can cheat on her with me then I know that if you find someone else, you'll break up with me for her, this is not how I want my relation to be with some one who I'm investing my time in!" She walked towards me and then said, "I'm not a second option, neither I'm a rebound girl, so let me tell you this for the first and the last time, I'm," she pointed finger at her self and then took a step towards me, "not someone who'll take away someone's happiness so that I can be happy," she jabbed her middle finger in my chest, "you better get that."
I was a little taken a back from what she had said, I don't know if I had to be angry with her for shouting at me like that or happy with her for holding the ground for someone whom she didn't even know.
"So you want me to choose between you and her?" I asked her, trying not to get angry at all.
"It's up for interpretation," she said and left. What the hell was that supposed to mean?
