2 Conflicted Minds

Chapter 6

Beckys view

I walk into school hoping that I can forget what has happened at home. Soon someone comes running past me and bumps into me throwing me to the ground.

"Ouch, Watch where you're going loser!" I said while still on the floor, I was already having a bad day now it just got even worse. Soon Sage comes close to the person who bumped into me... I looked up and saw someone I haven't spoken to in years

"...Oh sorry, I didn't see you there." I looked up to see Nathan looking a bit worried, he then reaches out his hand for me to grab, I was about to push it away until I saw, how sage was looking at us. I slowly took his hand, I have never realized it but Nathan has strong soft and warm hands, It's almost like I remember this his touch, and feeling from somewhere.

"..Thanks, oh and I am sorry I called you a loser, I was just having a bad day," I said as he pulled me up, I don't know why I told him this but I felt comfortable enough with him for some reason.

"Don't worry about it." he said while flashing me a very cheeky smile.

"Sage let's go, we are going to be late," he said and took Sage's hand and went to their locker, I don't know why but I felt slightly uncomfortable now that a pair of warm hands had left my cold hands and they were in another's. Anyhow, I don't know the reason and neither do I want to, nothing good can come out of being close to those two again.

Nathan's view

I looked down on my hands, while I was deep in thought. It's strange and I can't explain why I just keep on looking at my hands.

"....an,.. than,.....NATHAN!!" Sage said while pulling my ear

"huh, huh? What?"I said a bit confused and in shock

"What Is wrong with you?, And we're going to be late for class, geez.. you were the one who said we should hurry... if you don't hurry up I am leaving" Sage said kinda pissed as she started to walk away, while I was just left staring at my hands. A Thought appeared in my head, or when me and sage when we were kids and a new kid was moving into the house just across from us.

(flashback)

"Hey Nate, pass the ball" we were playing football right in front of my house when I hit the ball too hard with my foot and hit someone in the head

"Owwww....." I heard the person say so I rushed over

"Hey are you okay," I said looking at the little girl, pale skin with hair as dark as the night sky but eyes a light green with flakes of gold

"Y......a.....ya," she said while stumbling over her words and rubbing the back of her head. I reached out my hand for her and reluctantly she took my hand, her icy cold hands shook me at first but the warmth of my hand took care of it.

"Hi I am Nathan Thomas but you can call me Nate for short." I tried looking into her eyes but each time she would look away and squeeze my hand slightly.

"What's your name?"

"........Becky, Becky White"

I was zoned out thinking about a past memory until I realized that the bell had gone, and Sage had left.

"Oh man, I am late, this is way too much work for my liking."
