Life's weird turns - Nash Grier

Chapter 5

Chapter 5:

It had been a month since my birthday, and school had been the same, really boring and like living hell, although something had been different, Nash had been acting really weird, sometimes he was nice to me and actually said hello, and sometimes he laughed when Logan, or one of his friends pushed me.

Today was the day we went out to Christmas break, and I had mixed feeling, on one hand, I was going away from school, and I wouldn't be living in hell anymore, but on the other hand, my brother wouldn't be here until summer vacations, so I would have to spend Christmas and New Year's eve, alone.

That day I just went to school in my skateboard again and when I got in, something weird happened, nobody pushed me. I was almost happy about it but then I got scared, because if nothing happened right there, it meant something would happen when I least expected it. So I was very nervous all day. I was trying to avoid Logan's group all day, and when I saw them, I freaked out. I kept walking trying to get passed them as fast as possible, and when I was walking besides them, they just ignored me. I was glad, but still worried.

The whole day passed really slowly, because I was expecting something to happen at every second. But the day ended, and after all.... Nothing had happened. Maybe the bullying had stopped, I got my hopes up. Until I went to see my locker, and when I opened, something slimy popped splashing me all over the face, it was horrible, everyone started laughing and I just took my backpack and my skateboard, closed my locker and left the school in a rush. All covered in the slimy thing I started to run when someone stopped me.

It was Nash, great (sarcasm), the only thing I wanted to do was go to my house so I could cry alone. I just kept running and got into my skateboard. But he followed me until I stopped and turned around again to see what he wanted.

"Casey, I'm sorry about what happened" he said

" Yeah right, cut the crap Nash I know you don't fucking care about me so stop it and just leave me alone" I said, I felt the tears trying to come out already but I held them inside, I didn't want him to think I was a cry baby.

"I just wanted to talk to you" he said getting a little sad, and went away, which was actually pretty stupid because we were going to the same place and he just started walking the other way, but it was better, because the least thing I wanted was having him walk next to me on the way home.

I just went to my house and took a shower. After I got out I went to see my cellphone, I had a new WhatsApp message. It was from my friend Sophie, she went to a private school, but we had been friends since kindergarten.

"hey cas, wanna go to a party tnght? Itll be fun"

"sure where is it?" I responded.

"Alex's house, ill go to yours to get rdy"

"k ill be here"

She then came and we got ready. At ten o'clock we went to Alex's house.

We were on our way and as we were passing in front of a local store I said:

"Hey, let's stop for some smokes, please?"

"No, don't worry, I have a pack and a lighter" she said

"Yeah, but I do you have smokes on your pack?" I said because she always carried around empty packs, she then looked and as I thought, it was empty, so we went into the store and asked the guy for a pack of Marlboro lights.

"Are you over 18?" yeah yeah, stupid rules, you have to be over 18 to smoke in NC but I really needed to smoke.

"Yeah, how much is it?" I said with my "intimidating" voice, handing him a 20 dollar bill. He took the bill and gave me my change without saying another word. We went out of the store and kept walking.

"I can't believe I fooled him!!"I said.

Yeah, it's funny how you sre so short yet so intimidating" she said and laughed.
