The Last Secret of Natalie Edward

Chapter 1

That's Arin

I started my day off like every other teenage girl in high school. I woke up at 7 am sharply, took my shower, did my hair, ate breakfast, got dressed, and brushed my teeth. On my way out I grabbed my keys and went to my Mothers room. I knocked on her bedroom door and got no answer. I walk in her room and see her still sleeping peacefully. I slowly walk up to her and kiss her gently on the forehead thinking to myself "Man, know she loves me deeply but, I wonder if she will still love me the same when I tell her I'm lesbian."

I then left her room and went to my car. Stepping into the garage and opening the onyx sleek door of my 2015 Camaro, the interior a deep charcoal color with light stitching in the seats; My dream car. as I pull out of the garage I pause for a moment in my driveway, pushing a button on the dash and watching the black cloth top start rolling back into the trunk. It was always hot here in California so the convertible was a convenient luxury. Once I got to school, I went to my locker to get my books. Like always I saw my best friend Brianna.

"Hey you're actually here! I missed you so so so so much Babe." as she smothered me in friendly kisses.

"Oh, my gosh it's okay Bri. I was gone for a couple of days." I stated

"That's a long time because your freaking phone is broke. When are you getting it fixed?" She questioned

"It should be at my house between Monday and Tuesday." I replied

That's when my crush, Natalie came by and said "Hey Arin," as she started talking I put my head down "I'm happy to see you're at school today. By the way, in Science class I picked you to be my partner. I hope that's okay with you?" after she finished talking I lifted my head, and she then locked my gaze with her perfect brown eyes that looked like amazing chocolate pools.

"Oh... I uhm... It's... I'm perfectly fine with being partners Natalie."
   
"Do I make you nervous?" she said as she chuckled.

"Uh... no you don't." I said as I looked down at my feet.

Once again I lifted my head, we locked eyes again, and she said "Okay I just had to make sure. Anyway I hope you're ready to work with me." as she winked at me. I instantly felt butterflies fill my stomach, and I started to think "What was she getting at? Does she like me back?" All these questions kept running through my head, hoping to find answers. I turned around to watch her leave.
"Arin?!?"

"Huh... Sorry I was lost in my thoughts. What did you say?"

"Oh my gosh Arin just ask her out already, and I'm pretty sure that she likes you too. Did you see the way she was looking at you? I mean come on whenever you weren't looking at her face she was staring straight at your tits. But I mean you can't blame her, you have a great rack." she said as she squeezed my breast.
   
I giggled and said "You have great breast as well. Now let's get to class before Ms. Hawking gives us a freaking detention."

She agreed with me and we went to our class. Once we got to class, I sat down and when I started to open my book Ms. Hawking started screaming at me to go to my "original" spot. With me being the obedient student I just started to get up and move to the empty seat. On my way to the seat I realized that it was right next to Natalie. When I noticed that I felt like my whole day just brightened up even more. When I sat down, I heard Bri arguing with Ms. Hawking saying "Don't yell at her for something she didn't know! If you actually did your job, maybe you would know that Arin wasn't here for the past couple of days!" Bri yelled.

"Why won't you mind your own business young lady!" Ms. Hawking said

"Well if my best friend's name comes out your mouth, it becomes MY business." After she said that the whole class "oohed" together.

While all this was happening I was daydreaming and staring at Natalie. What snapped me back to reality was Ms. Hawking slamming her hand on her desk and saying "BRIANNA WILLINGTON THAT IS ENOUGH. YOU HAVE A MONTH OF DETENTION!"

Brianna just chuckled and had a huge grin on her face. That made me think why I loved this girl. She always stood up for me, she cared for me, and took care of me when I was sick and my mom was out of town. Soon enough class was over and I was going to go talk to Bri and thank her, but shockingly Natalie grabbed my hand and turned me towards her. When I was facing her she didn't let go of my hand. Once again I felt the butterflies return.

"Hey that's pretty cool what your best friend did for you earlier."

"Yeah it was. She always protects and stands up for me. I love that about her." I said

"Are you guys "best friends" or are you guys...you know dating?" she said that last part in a whisper.

"No Natalie we're not dating. Now if you don't mind I would like to get out of this classroom before she starts yelling again for no reason."
