I awake to sun streaming into my room. I smile as I throw the covers off my body. I think back to last night as I step into a steaming shower. I met Corbyn's girlfriends who turned out to be Opal's younger sister Liza. We went on many rides and ate so much food. It was a blast.
I step out of the shower and wrap my body in a towel. I dry my hair and throw on some sweat pants and a cute crop top. I pulled my wet hair into a bun, knowing I was later going to regret it once it dried. I sat on my bed and went through loads of finished homework making sure nothing was left undone.
All of a sudden I get a knock on my door.
"Come in." I say as a person who I would've never expected walked through the frame.
"Hey," He said while running a hand through his messy hair. He was wearing a hoodie I recognized and gray sweatpants that sagged a bit lower than his hips. "It's been a while." He said. I must admit, he looked cute when he was nervous.
"Yeah, it has." I said smiling which made him smile. Oh how I missed his smile. I scooted over and patted a space beside me for him to sit on. He hesitantly joined me. "What's up? I won't bite you Mr.Badboy." I said laughing.
"Yeah I know." He said letting out a sigh. We sat in an awkward silence until he broke it by letting out a sigh. "I'm going to tell you something ok? Please don't get mad at me"
"Ok, shoot." I said not ready for what he was going to tell me.
"Please don't go to homecoming with Daniel." What I heard came as a surprise to me. "Please."
"What?" I scoffed.
"Please don't-" He started but I cut him off.
"No I heard what you said. You can't tell me who to go with or who not to go with. What's up with you Jonah?" He furiously runs a hand through his hair.
"You don't know anything about him." He spoke slowly through gritted teeth.
"Yeah and you do?" I retorted making him tense visibly.
"It's not like that Natalia." He said trying to control your breathing. "I'm just trying to help you."
"Stop trying to help me! I can do that on my own Jonah." I raising my voice a bit. "It's not like you were going to ask me anyways." I look at him and see his jaw tick as he stands up, letting out a frustrated sigh.
"You don't know that." He sighed. "Did you want me to ask you?" He spoke slowly looking anywhere but me.
"Well, of course, I did Jonah. But for a reason you won't tell me, you stopped talking to me, stopped going to school, and avoided me completely." I spoke as I myself started to get frustrated. Suddenly I stand up and start making my way to him. "And you tell my brother to not like the only person who speaks to me?" I say starting to loose my temper. I hit him in the arm. "We wouldn't be in this situation if you were still talking to me, you're the one at fault here." That made him angry due to him storming towards my door before stopping.
"I wouldn't have stopped talking to you if you realized how I felt about you earlier." He said before storming out of my room and slamming the door behind him.
I wouldn't have stopped talking to you if you realized how I felt about you earlier.
Those words played in my head over and over again. Jonah, felt something for me?
I decide to call Opal, as I am left confused.
One ring.
Two rings. She picks up.
"Opal you were right." I said as I let out a shaky breath. "Jonah came over to try to tell me not to go to homecoming with Daniel, and then he told me he was mad because I didn't realize how he felt about me sooner."
"I knew it. I don't want to say it, but I told you so. He likes you... or did at least." She said letting out a sigh. "Well, what are you going to do now?"
"Well, I can't ditch Daniel because Jonah speaks to me can I?" I huff.
"Well, you could reconsider? I'm sorry, I don't like Daniel at all, so this may be a bit bias, but I honeslty think you will regret homecoming with Daniel." She says letting out a slow breath. What is it with people not liking him?
"Well, thanks I guess, I gotta go, textlater?" I ask as I hang up immediatley. I let out a long breath I didn't know I was holding and make my way down stairs.
Once I reach the bottom of the stairs, I head directly to the fridge to grab a drink.
My dad notices my presence and speaks up. "Hey Nat, Mary was just here she says hey." I give him a small nod in return as I swallow my drink before answering.
"How is she?" I ask taking another sip. Now I get it, Jonah came over with his mom.
"She is good, speaking of which, she invited Corbyn and I to go on winter holiday with her family." He said standing us as he eyes me carefully waiting for my reaction.
"What about me?" I ask letting out a small laugh.
"Well, she thinks you and Jonah should become better friends," He starts and I cut him of
"Please no..." I sigh.
"So, she booked you a trip to France. It's only three weeks until all of us will meet up with you." He said smiling at me as if this was a good thing. "Jonah said he didn't mind."
"Dad, please no. I really don't think," I start but Corbyn cuts me off.
"So you wear his clothes, but you won't go on a trip with him?" He says and I give him a look that makes him recoil back into his seat.
"Nat, its one month away, it will be pretty fun I think." He sighs opening his arms for me. I step into them and wrap my arms around him. "I know you don't want to be away from Corbyn and I but it won't be that long." I almost scoff. He thinks I don't want to leave him and Corbyn, he doesn't know the half of it.
"I guess." I sigh making my way back up the stairs.
