the prettyway // a PRETTYMUCH fanfic

~44~

el:
nick and i ended up talking in the parking lot. pretty ridiculous, i know. he told me about alexys and i told him about how school was. about an hour past... we weren't keeping track of time. as we get up to leave i hear, "my princess!" damn and i thought i wasn't going to have to deal with him anymore, for today. "oh no," i say underneath my breath.

"who is that?" nick asks.

"that's nathan."

"oh... OH!"

"yea... um your name is noah by the way AND zion's is zeke AND edwin's is edward. i couldn't use your guy's real names because... well you already know why. i haven't mentioned austin or brandon yet. he knows about you because i told him about how zion and i became a thing and you were obviously part of the story."

"that's fine, but can i PLEASE knock some sense into this guy."

"sure, but don't say anything out of pocket."

nathan comes running towards us, "who's this?" he asks.

"this is noah."

"oh shit! so you're the guy that her boyfriend got jealous of, because you would flirt with her." wow, he remembered.

"wait before you guys start talking, why are you still here nathan?"

"shouldn't i be asking you that? anyway, i always stay after school. that's why i asked you to hang out with me after school that one day."

"well we're here because he surprised me, he came back from new jersey and he picked me up."

"that still doesn't explain why you're here."

"you really want to hear everything? in full detail?"

"yea..."

"i was sitting on the curb, waiting for my brother. instead, he tells me someone else is picking me up. i wait, nick shows up. i jump on him making him fall. he told me about new york and i told him about school, we weren't keeping track of time. THERE, happy?"

"does he know you're with the guy that made him jealous?"

"first of all, i have a name and it's noah. second of all, zeke and i are chill now, lastly, i have a girlfriend," nick responds.

"i have to be real right now, you don't even look like a guy zeke would be jealous of... when it comes to height HAHAHA, i'm taller than you," nathan says, laughing.

"dude stop, you're taller by literally two inches, that's not that big of a difference. zeke is taller than basically everyone i know," i say.

"okay well, that either means zeke is a pussy or this guy got some game to him," nathan states.

"he has some game, trust me," i say.

"no, i don't think so. well at least not as much as me," nathan replies. there he goes with his cockiness once again.

"you know what? probably, and that's because i'm not a sexual ass piece of shit. wanna know something pal? i liked el, while zeke and her were dating. i told her and she was still so comfortable around me because i didn't make things sexual or weird, i wasn't thirsty. i saw how happy she was/still is, with him," nick states.

"yea honestly... he called me 'cutie' the first day he met me and kept calling me that ever since. he still calls me 'el' though, but the name 'cutie' symbolizes our friendship. it isn't meant to be used in a sexual manner whatsoever. he would also ask for kisses on the cheek, but again NOT make it sexual. now it's just our thing. zeke used to get SO jealous, but he learned noah never had any bad intentions. GET THIS THOUGH, WE DON'T LIKE EACH OTHER LIKE THAT!" i say.

"why can't we be like that? i wanna be like that, but i want you to like me," nathan says. SERIOUSLY?

"DUDE! if you don't get the hint, she obviously doesn't feel comfortable around you. you telling her you want to hook up, doesn't help your case at all. if you wanted to be close with her in the first place, maybe you shouldn't have acted like how you acted when you first met her, as well as yesterday." nick states. BLESS! that's what i've been dying to say to this dude.

surprisingly, nathan isn't acting so tough anymore. he puts his head down, i bet he's trying to make me feel bad. but i'm not an evil bitch, it isn't in my blood. i don't know why, but i decide to hug him. woah! i can feel his abs pressing on my stomach as he pulls me closer, hugging me back. while i hug him i say, "honestly nathan, i like you as a person. you're really fucking funny, you just need to calm the fuck down with your choice of words. for example, don't ask me to hook up and don't call me 'babe', i got really annoyed with you yesterday when you were acting like that in front of my brother and my boyfriend. they might've not done anything in there, but when we got home that's when their mouths bursted." i pull away from the hug, he seems like he doesn't want to let go, but he does anyway.

"i'll try to control myself. can i still refer to you as my princess?" nathan asks.

"uh sure? but try to call me 'el' as much as possible."

"you have a deal. i won't talk to you ANYMORE about sexual shit or give you names you don't like, just as long as i get a hug everyday." well that's a little odd, he gives up his fuckboyness for hugs. i reply with, "that's easy, okay deal."

"el let's go," nick says, pulling my arm.

"okay bye nathan, i'll see you tomorrow."

"bye my princess."

nick and i walk towards his car and he doesn't say a word. i wave my hand at his face trying to get him to talk.

"nick! hello!" i exclaim.

"el, not now." i'm not going to stop until he properly talks to me. i keep waving my hand in his face. "EL STOP!" he yells.

i guess nathan never left, when he heard nick raise his voice he came running to the car.

"HEY!" nathan screams.

"get the fuck away. el, get in the car," nick states.

"EL! GET IN THE CAR NOW!"

nick:
i fucking hate this guy, he needs to step the fuck down to his level.

"dude, back the fuck off. can't you tell i'm annoyed as fuck right now?"

"but why?" his dumb ass asks.

"i don't need to explain myself to a fucking teenager. leave, before this whole thing gets out of hand."

"no, tell me. just because you're a couple years older, doesn't mean shit. why do you care? edward and zeke didn't do shit to me."

"because they aren't stupid. why would they make a scene in a public area? it's only us right now. i don't fucking like you, you're literally doing this to seduce el. she's my best fucking friend, i don't want her to be hurt by another idiotic guy. SO LEAVE!"

"okay whatever you say. you can't do anything when we're in school."

as much as i want to slap this idiot's face, i'm gonna hold myself back, for el's sake. i get inside the car and say nothing to el.
