Darmott Academy

Chapter 6

I jumped as my phone alerted me of a text message; I was too busy thinking about my mom I forgot about reality, oops.

I look at my phone and see a message from Nathan:

N:'hey im finally done with unpacking.'

A:'Nice."

N:'Yep so whats up?

I almost explained what I just witnessed but instead I just typed 'nothing'. We talked for a while about the movies we watched yesterday and then I told him I had to go. We had talked for hours, and now its really late.

I was exhausted from the night before, and then what I saw earlier when I got home. 'Last night... when Nathan put his arm around me, was it as friends? Or something more?' I thought to myself. I collapsed onto my bed and fell asleep.

BZZ, my phone alarm woke me up. I got up and shut it off, then went to eat breakfast.

"Mom?" I said quietly as I walked into the kitchen. She wasn't there, so I decided to make breakfast.

I prepared bacon, eggs, and pancakes with strawberries on top. I brought one plate to my mom's room and placed it on her bedside table, along with a cup of orange juice.

After eating my breakfast, I did my homework.

My phone vibrated on my table just as I finished math homework. I picked it up and saw I had a message from Kayla.

K: 'Hey Ali. Wanna go to the mall? I have nothing to do.'

A: 'Yea, of course. Let me get ready and I'll meet you down our block in half and hour.'

K: 'k.'

I put my homework away and got dressed in white high waisted ripped shorts, a white graphic muscle tee, and my white vans. Then I put mascara, and a little bit of eye shadow on. I grabbed my Steve Madden messenger bag and left to meet Kayla.

"Hey Ali," Kayla said when we met down the block.

"Hey. I brought too much money but whatever" I said to her, as we walked to the nearby mall.

We went into all the stores we liked: Holister, Forever 21, american eagle, zumies, hot topic, ect.

"Im broke now," I said laughing. I was carrying so many shopping bags I was practically dragging my arms across the floor.

"Me too! I have to go home now," Kayla said. She checked the time and We said bye.

"Hey mom, im home," I said loudly as I walked into my house. I set the bags in my room and put a movie in. It was kinda late; we shopped the entire day and I didn't feel like unpacking everything. I had to do it anyway though, so I unpacked everything and watched the old disney movies. After I made popcorn I fell asleep.

I rubbed my eyes to try to stay awake as I got dressed for school. Ugh, Mondays, everyone hates them. I put on my Nirvana tee and tucked it into my skater skirt, I put my vans on and finished my makeup.

I rushed to eat a bowl a cereal, which resulted in me spilling milk all over the table. Shoving the food in my mouth I grabbed my bag and left.

"Hey Ali," someone said behind me as I walked down the street. I jumped a little because I thought I was alone.

Turning I said, "Oh hey Nathan."

"Did I scare you?" He said chuckling.

"Ha..no," I said laughing a little. "Come on hurry, were gonna be late."

"Ok fine," He said speeding past me. I had to jog to catch up to him. He looked at his phone and turned to me. "Were 10 minutes late and we have a test first period."

"Wha-?!" I was cut off by Nathan grabbing my arm and practically picking me up as he sped to the building. We reached first period out of breath and opened the door.

"Ah... Late. Take your seats the test has begun," our teacher said and glared at us. We sat down next to Kayla and when I looked at her she gave me a look that shouted what-were-you-doing-with-Nathan? I ignored it and finished the test.

"Ok class, hand in your tests and go to your next class!" our teacher slammed his book on the table.

Once we were outside Kayla pulled me away from the door. "Uh, yes?" I asked her.

"Hm, don't act like you weren't just late because you were with Nathan," She said.

"It's not like that. I was just walking out of my house and he was there, so we walked together," I said looking at my hands to hide my blush. Why would she see me and Nathan like that? Does everyone see us like that, does he see us like that?!
