Our First Encounter

Silence

Recap: "We should go." I said and I got up. Nathan wiped away his tears before turning in my direction. He walked to the front seat and sat down. The whole ride back to his house was silent... No music, no talking.

I stepped out of the car and waited for Nathan to get out to, but he just sat. He didn't move for a full five minutes before I got up to get him. I walked over to his door and tried to open it, but it was locked. He had his head on the steering wheel and his face was a light shade of pink. I rolled my eyes and went back through the passenger door.

"What the hells your problem? I should be sitting like that, you seemed more depressed that I am. You're not allowed to be sad without me, your parents are still here. So-" I started. I yelled out all of the anger I had within in his face. There's no reason he should be upset, his parents are alive and healthy. Relaxing.

"That's the exact reason why! Why, I can't mourn for my boyfriend too?! Your sadness is my sadness!" He yelled still looking down at his steering wheel. I let out a tear and yelled back at him. He called me his boyfriend? Are we dating now? Well... That was a hell of a first date, but I'm not finished.

"Look at me when you yell at me! Look at me!" I yelled back. I couldn't control the tears now. I can't believe we're fighting right now, my first fight... With my first 'friend'. Nathan slowly looked up into my eyes and looked away almost instantly.

"Please... Don't cry, I'm sorry." He said and I wiped away my tears. I sat back down and crossed my arms over my chest.

"Get the fuck out of the car then." I said back casually. He looked at me with a pissed glare, probably because I cursed at him. Well, he curses too... I don't see the problem. He shoved open the door and closed it behind him. He walked straight to the door and I followed behind. He opened the front door and left it open for me. I rolled my eyes walking in and locked the door behind me. Why the heck is he even pissed? Loser. I followed him upstairs and when I went in he was already sleep. Oh, come on. I walked in and shut the door. I didn't really get to look around his room much the first time I was in here, it's such a large room and the walls are painted grey. Like his personality. I sped a walk to him and pushed him until he 'woke up'...

"Stop." He said and I rolled my eyes again. He looked up at me with a slight smile. This bipolar freaking- he pulled me out of my thought with.

"You sure do roll your eyes a lot." And he began laughing. Serious, this is creepy. What's he laughing for? I sat on the floor and the room fell silent, so I grabbed a book. Oh, so he reads?

"My grandma got me that, I never read it... I've had it for five years." He stated blankly... Or not. I knew he didn't read, he doesn't even read my text. He always text back "call me" it's annoying. I glanced at the cover and opened the book to start reading.

"Hey... You can sit on my bed." He said and I ignored him reading the book. He kept asking questions over and over.

"You want to go on my bed?-"

"How tall are you anyways?-" I rolled my eyes.

"Do you ever cut you hair?-" obviously, otherwise some of my hair wouldn't be shorter in the back.

"Why do you read so much?" Blocks me from reality, at the moment, you.

"You're a total nerd." I slammed the book shut and gave him a death glare and he threw his arms up with a slight smirk. Then I went back to reading where I left off, or at least I was trying to find where.

"Are you gay? You totally kissed me back, so... I'm wondering." He asked and I let out a sigh.

"Maybe, I'm trying to read you know." I said. I wasn't lying either, I'm not exactly clear on that. I mean... Maybe is a good answer. It means yes and no, so I'll leave it at that. I finished the page I was on and tossed it aside.

"Finally! I almost fell asleep." He said back and I rolled my eyes. I took his advise and sat on the edge of the bed. My ass was starting to hurt from that hardwood floor. Seriously, most bedrooms have carpet. I sat on his bed and placed my hands on my lap and caught him staring at me.

"What?" I said and sighed.

"Are you thinking of something?" He asked and grabbed my waist. My eyes widened and I jumped up.

"Hey! Don't do that, what's your problem?!" I yelled back and I walked at lease two yards away and leaned against the wall.

"Well sorry, jeez." He said back. I'm definitely not laying in the same bed as him, he's going to sleep on a couch or something.

"I'm not sleeping in the same bed as you." I said blankly and added a 'humph' at the end. I crossed my legs and looked over at Nathan as he started laughing out of nowhere.

"What's so funny?" I yelled at him and stomped my foot harshly on the wooden floor which made him laugh louder.

"Nothing, you're acting like a child. I won't touch you-" He said and I looked at him with a pout and he just sat up to walk towards me. I looked away and he placed his thumb on my chin.

"- unless you want me to." He said and stepped back a little. Ewwww gross. No way! I teleported to the other side of the room and sat. He looked at me with a 'seriously?' Look and I crossed my arms. I'm not acting like a child, I am a child. So, he can shut up. He's like 18 anyways.

"You're an adult, that's weird-" I said and looked back up at him and he walked towards me and sat.

"Not yet, in a couple months. So, I'm still a 'kid' too. Why's it only weird if I'm 18? 'Cause I can stay 17 forever." He said and I chuckled, he whispered the last part. So... I don't care if he's 17 same-same he's still technically 18.

"-Do you really love me?... Also, am I really your boyfriend?" I said and moved an inch closer. He blushed at the statement and let out a sigh.

"Well... Yes I do really love you. The boyfriend thing, that was in the moment. Do you want to be my boyfriend though... Like officially?" Hmm... Well I mean... Do I? We're kind of just friends that kiss. You know? Would it really make a difference if we change the title?

"Sure, I'd love to be. Weirdo." I said and stuck out my tongue and he grabbed me into a big hug.

"I'm honored." He said and kissed me.
