==Nathan==
I was suspended for a week. This was the first time I had ever been suspended and I hate it. I was also pretty much kicked off the team. How much worse can this get? I spent the entire week in my room. I didn't eat; I couldn't eat. I tried to sleep but I couldn't. My mind spun of every scenario of how bad this could get. Eleanor called me, I didn't answer. I gnored the entire world and stayed locked up in my room. Of course that didn't last long since I had school on Monday.
It was monday morning and I came to school late. I walked into class and all eyes were on me. I sat in the back and I stayed silent not even looking up at the board. We had a worksheet ad I didn't try to do it. I had my sunglasses on and I blasted music through my ears. I felt a small tap on my arm and I turn to see Anna looking at me. I remove an earbud and she shifted her paper to let me copy. I looked at her and she nodded to me. I coped it down and she took it from me, standing up to go turn it in. I smile lightly at her and she smiles back, pulling out her journal. I put my earphone back in and I look through my phone. All over social media, there was a video of me getting escorted out of school. I clench my jaw in anger and I kept scrolling. I come across a video of Eleanor at a party with our friends. They didn't care about what happened to me. They only cared about saving themselves.
It was now lunch and I had no interest in eating. I saw my friends in the cafeteria but I went straight out to the field. I sat alone on the bleachers in silence. My life was over. I have nothing.
My negative thoughts were interupted by someone. It was Anna. "Hi"She says as she sits next to me. I nod to her, not feeling like talking. "Are you okay?"she asks me as she offers me a chip. I take it and sigh "No not really"I say feeling I needed to tell someone. "What happened?"she asks. I sigh "I screwed up"I say "The principle found weed in my locker and I was suspended from school and the football team"I say. She stayed silent "I'm sorry"she says. I nod, that's what everyone says. "What are you gonna do?"She asks. I shake my head "I don't know. There's not much I can do. I blew my only opportunity to a scholarship"I say "My life is over"I say covering my face with my hands. "I don't think it is. There is always a chance to do better. You just need to get up again and work hard to get it"she says. I scoff "You don't get it do you"I say in a harsh tone. "I don't have a chance to do better. It's over Anna. I screwed up and now my life is ruined"I say to her. She was upset. I sigh, knowing I screwed up. She packed her things "You know Nathan, I thought you were better than the rest of the people here, that you understood people. But you're just like everyone else. You aren't the only one who goes through things...If you opened your eyes you would know that" She tells me before walking off. I sigh, running my hands through my hair. She turns around again "And my name is Alice" She says before walking off again. I feel like a real dick now.
I didn't feel like going back to class. I got into my car and I drove off. I didn't know where but I kept driving down the endless road waiting to see where it would take me. I ended up driving to the beach. I parked my car and I walked down the pier to the side of the shore. I stared out into the ocean. The long line of blue water touching the beautiful blue sky in the horizon. I stayed there for about an hour or two but drove back home.
I made it back to my house and I stayed in my room. I heard a soft knock on my door and Eleanor walked in. I was angry with her so I didn't look a her. "Nathan"She says as she sits on my bed. I stayed silent and she spoke up "Are you okay?"She asks. I scoff shaking my head. "What do you care"I say. "Of course I care Nathan"She says as she places her hand on my cheek. I sigh as I hold her hand, kissing it. I needed this. "I heard about what happened"she says. "Why didn't you tell them about the weed?"I ask. She sighs "I was scared"she says. "I got kicked off the team because of it Eleanor"I say. She sighs "I know"She says "Please don't be mad at me"She pleads. I sigh "I'm not mad at you"I say. She smiles hugging me. She holds my face in her hands and kisses my lips. I start to kiss her neck, her on my lap and I was surprised she let me. As I kissed her skin, I heard her reach into her bag. She pulls away from me and looks at me. She had a pill in between her teeth. She tried to kiss me but I push her off of me. "What?"She asks. "Are you kidding me?"I say getting up. She just stared at me, confused as to why I pushed her away. "Your stupid drugs are the reason why I am in this mess in the first place"I say angrily. "Oh no don't put that on me Nathan. I may have had the drugs but you chose to take them. I didn't force you"She says just as angry as I was. "Get out"I say. She scoffs and grabs her stuff. She walks out of my house, slamming the door roughly behind her...
