Crystal (Magcon Boys)

Chapter Four.

Nash Grier's Point of View:

Leaning against my bedroom wall, Cameron monotonously scrolling through his IPhone, I continue to talk to Crystal. A smile never leaving my face.

"Okay, cool. I'll call you tomorrow and... Yeah this is my phone." I say awkwardly.

"Yeah I figured..." She says back and I want to kill myself. Stupid, stupid.

I laugh along to make things a little better, that is, if that was even possible. "Okay then, I'll see you tomorrow." I say.

"Yep." She replies sweetly.

"Oh, and I wanted to ask if you were okay. Because you know, you left earlier today and-" I begin to say but she cuts me off.

"I'm fine, thanks Nash," She answers quickly, "Bye Nash."

I know she's not fine, I knew she wasn't fine the minute she answer that phone call, or even before, when she saw who was calling. In one second she had a smile on her face, an adorable and heart melting smile, the other she was frozen, sad, lost. I don't know what was it that made her so upset and it's not my place to know but the person who did it deserves to be punched for taking that smile away from her. How could anyone even dare to take that smile away from her. Away from me.

"Bye Crystal."

And with that, we hang up.

I look at my desk chair, where Cameron is sitting down with his phone on his hands, looking up at me disappointed.

"Dude, you're so bad with girls." He mocks me with a laugh.

"Shut up, at least she's coming!" I say back. I kind of knew what he was talking about though, when it comes to girls I'm a disaster.

"Thank God right? If you weren't able to get her here I would think you have problems." He goes back to the mocking.

I roll my eyes and ignore him. "Where are the other guys anyway?" I ask.

"Matt and Carter left half and hour ago, I'm not sure where they went though." He tells me unsure.

"So how's the new school man?" He asks turning to me.

"It's good, better then Ridgeway," I tell him honestly, "Why are you guys still there anyway? It sucks." I say back and he shrugs.

"I don't know, I'm used to that school and you only left because you were kicked out!" He snaps, making me laugh.

"Oh shut up! I left because it's a crappy school okay? And you should do it to!" I add.

"Maybe."

Then there was a knock on my door and Aaron comes in right after. He walks in and throws himself on the bed.

"What's up guys?" He says.

"Hey." Cameron and I say back.

"Where's Taylor?" I ask Aaron, since I thought he was with him.

"He's on his way to brake up with Sarah." Aaron tells us, sighing.

I look at Cameron with a victory smirk plastered on my face. "You own me twenty bucks." I remind him and he curses Taylor.

And that, ladies and gentleman, it's how it's done.

"Hey! You guys bet on our friend's relationship?" Aaron asks as if offended, lifting his body us to look at us.

"Yeah..." I admit a little shamefully. Is it that bad? I mean-

"Then why did you left me out?" Aaron asks, breaking our expectations. I laugh.

I get hungry and run downstairs to find food. I walk in the kitchen and look around it. You know, for a house lived by nine teenage boys we actually manage to keep it very clean. It's shocking actually, you would expect to find a house that looks like it was invaded by wild animals or something, but no. We take turns on our chores and it works fine! The house looks great.

I fix up my dinner and get back upstairs, where Jack and Jack had joined us.

"Cameron, have you told them about tomorrow?" I ask him as I take a sit on the floor.

"Oh, Nash invited a girl here to meet you guys because he is totally into her." He tells them with a shrug. I turn to glare at him.

"Dude, I'm not into her." I say, my mouth full with a bite of my sandwich.

They laugh. "Ooh, is Nash Grier in looove?" Jack G. coos childishly.

I roll my eyes. "Yeah of course, I met the girl this morning and I'm already in love with her." I say sarcastically.

"Who's in love?" Shawn asks entering the room. His hands hold a bag of chips and he shoves a hand full of them in his mouth.

Oh boy, here we go.

"Nash." Jack J. replies with a smirk.

"Okay guys! Let's get things clear here!" I shout, hushing them, "I am not in love. Okay?". I eye them serious.

"Whatever you say, Romeo." Aaron jokes.

I just bring my hand to my face and give up. Those guys are really hard to deal with. Mind as well just leave things as they are.

We continue to hang out in mine and Cameron's room and I tell them about my first day. About the little inconvenience we had and about Crystal. Of course it was hard to bring that up since they wouldn't stop mocking me about it but I didn't care anymore. I knew I wasn't in love with Crystal and don't get me wrong, she's a nice girl, a very pretty one as well but I just met her. So no, I'm not in love. No matter what they say.

When Taylor arrives we all notice a red mark on his left cheek. He looks down at the floor, then lift his head up to look at us. We're silent.

"Dude," Matt suddenly says, "She slapped you?".

Then we all burst out laughing.

He rolls his eyes. "It isin't funny okay?".

Now, I know Taylor very well, so I can tell you for sure that if the girl really did slap him, it was because he deserved it.

We laugh a little more and he sits down next to me, sighing along the way. He seems upset. I place my hand on his shoulder.

"Relax, you'll find the right one." I say. He nods.

After we hand out a little more, come up with some vine ideas and all, they all went back to their rooms. I climb on my bed and pull out the covers, so I could get in.

"Excited to see your girl tomorrow?" Cameron asks, jumping on his bed.

"She's just my friend," I say, "But yeah." I smile.

"Well, I'm excited to meet her as well then." He says.

I hear him yawn and moving himself on the bed. "Night Nash." He says.

"Night."

Yeah, I'm definitely excited, for more that I pretend not to care, I am.

Because after all, she's Crystal.
