My Stupid Love Life

Will you go on a date with me?

Hi! SUMMER!!! Its been three or four weeks since school was let out!! CHEESBALLS im BORED!!!! 

On with the story! ---------hi------------------cheese balls-----------

Chapter 2-will you go on a date with me?

To say that yesterday was awkward, was an understatement. It was totally fudging unicorn cheese balls freaking weird!!! It never in my life happened before. EVER. First I run into a hott guy who apologizes then stands up for me? There's something weird going on with him. I never had any friends. Then he's in every one of my classes but history. Then I meet his brother and sister. And made two MORE friends at the same time!

I groaned when I got up. The beating last night was the same as always. But more painful. Ever since mom left, 'dad' started drinking then when mom called saying she was never coming back he started beating me too. I have to survive three more months of torture then I'm free. I've been saving up money while HE went on business trips. I think I have at least 17,450. He hasn't left for another trip in two months and I'm getting worried. If he isn't going to the trips, does it mean he got fired or did he quit? If he lost his job one way or another, we would lose the house and it's the only thing I have left of my mom.

I got ready and quietly headed out the door. On the way to school, I pondered if I could even trust these people that are supposedly my friends. Sure they seem nice but I just find it weird that they are so nice to me. Especially Cloe and John. They always went to the same school as I did. I wondered why they waited til senior year to talk to me. If you give Grace and Carson a few days I'm sure they will eventually get bored of me.

I silently headed to first period. I was hoping I won't get stopped by Nathanial. But sadly, he and his siblings found me. I pulled my hood down more to hide the bruises on my face.

"Hi Katie!! Nathanial has something to ask you." Grace said sending a wink my way and a smirk at her brother. She bounded away with Carson in tow. Nathanial turned to me and looked right into my eyes. It felt like he was looking right into my soul. That's how intense he's staring at me.

"Katie. I know I just met you. And this is kinda crazy, but... will you go out with me?" he asked with hope clearly in his eyes.

I really wanted to say yes but my dad made me promise to never go out with anyone or else he'll kill me.

"I'm sorry Nathanial, but I can't date you. I'm not really looking for a relationship." I said.

He looked disappointed. "Oh. Ok then. Um.. I gotta go. Bye" he said turning around and quickly walking away.

I felt bad that I had to lie to him. But it was the right thing to do. If I had said yes, and then have my dad find out he'll kill me like promised he would.

He never showed in any of our classes and at lunch Grace and Carson ignored me. I really wish that I could have said yes. Cloe and John were the only ones that talked to me considering that they were my only 'friends' that I had. I have to tell them now that we can't be friends. If they ask why I'll tell them that I don't really need friends. That would sound rude but at least then my dad won't find out.

I just have to survive the last three months...
