Keith

The next day in chemistry

Keiths pov:

"So im guessing you dont remember?" I asked.
"Remember what?" Natalie questioned. "I stood behind you in a third grade play, you were the princess and i was Russian soldier number three."
She looked as if she was thinking. "No i dont remember that."
"Of course not, the princess never remembers the little people." I replied.
"Excuse me while i cry for you" natalie replied.
"You should, you should cry for me, from your high decision tower."
She rolled her eyes.
"So where did you apply to college?" Natalie asked.
I looked her right in the eyes and said "Nowhere"
"Your not going to college?" Natalie asked.
"Not in the Judeo christian sense no i am not." I replied.
"So what are you doing after graduation?"
"The skies the limit." I said with a smirk.
The rest of the class went smoothly.

After school since it was a Friday night Keith decided to go to the hill across from "the brick" its a place with a pool where all the other kids from our school go and hang out, they only do this on friday nights. nobody else knew about Keith's peaceful spot. He was not the mainstream average boy type but he did have an idea on how to spend that evening. He pulled out his binoculars and began searching for Natalie he saw lots of people "dancing" or whatever they like to call it. Then he finally spotted Raff. He kept looking at Natalie as if trying to find the perfect moment to approach her meanwhile natalie was standing by the pool with a few girls who he guessed were Natalie's friends. Keith began to get concerned because of Natalie and Raffs lack of interaction. Then he saw Raff walk up to natalie and they both started it looked like grinding on each other, Keith snorted in disgust. that wasn't dancing. Thats was more like moving your hips and trying to be sexy.

Eventually the "dancing" stopped and Natalie and Raff sat away from the bonfire again, Keith couldn't hear them or read there lips because they were all the way across the lake but he could read there body language and tell that they were talking about something serious. Keith's eyes snapped into focus mode he saw Raff lean in to kiss her! Though it was unexpected natalie seemed to really be loving it .
Keith's grip on the binoculars grew tighter as he got more angry without knowing exactly why. He could only bear to see them kiss for so long before he tore his eyes away from the binoculars and turned his back to the kissing couple. Keith's hands balled into fists and he walked in a very fast pace back to the road where he parked his truck and opened the door slammed the door shut and threw the binoculars to the passengers side he gripped the steering wheel so hard that his knuckles turned white . Keith had no idea why he was reacting this way he did not want to kiss natalie and they were just lab partners, only lab partners.

Keith and natalie did not speak at all the next day in chemistry Keith was glad that natalie didn't ask about it. Keith walked to his truck purposefully and just focused on going home and sulking. Untill..
"Keith!!!" A familiar voice called "keith!!"

Keith did not bother to even look behind him as he tossed his backpack into the opened window and got into the truck and slammed the door shut.
"Keith!" natalie cried running up to his window. "The lab reports due tomorrow"
"Ah yes" Keith sighed. "but the real pressing question is, how is rafael marques,Your boyfriend."
"He's not--"
"Great choice that rafael!" Keith interrupted with no trace of anger.
"Perfect guy! Brainy stud! You cant go wrong!"

"You were at the brick." Natalie said smiling.
"No," Keith turned around and started his truck. "But you where." He added and turned to face her.
"If you weren't there then how would you know?" Natalie asked.
"Because thats where everyone goes." Keith said matter of factly. They both knew it was true.

"But what about the lab report?" She asked as Keith slowly started to drive off. Keith was planning on answering with a very snide comment of some sort but he just said "hop in" with a smirk.
"Cmon cmon," he said when he saw she was hesitating. "I do my best work while im driving." He began slowly driving while stating the instructions to the chemistry lab as if to prove his point. Then she ran into his truck and got into the passenger seat. And that was how he got the first girl to get into his truck.
