"Damn Ash, I've been calling you since like seven last night and you hadn't answered. I was ready to send out a search party." Reed comments as we head to class. I roll my eyes, still thinking about my night with Natalie.
"Seriously man, where were you?" Kam rakes his fingers through his hair.
"What are you, my mother?" I spit at them. They look taken aback, but look like they had been a little prepared for my answer.
"Were you with Natalie?" Josh smiles widely, I avoid his eyes. "You were! Oh, did you guys bang?" I punch his shoulder.
"Natalie isn't like girls around here, she's not an easy slut like Angela!" I yell at him, how dare he say that about her?
"Okay, okay! I was just wondering, calm down!" He massages his shoulder. Kam throws his head back in laughter and I raise an eyebrow in confusion.
"Dude, you are so in love with her!" Kam says, everyone looking at us now as we walk into the class room. I take my seat next to him, "I don't know if it's love, but I definitely care about her." I say.
"Okay, well to prove you're in love with her and she's in love with you, I'll put you two through some tests."
"Ugh! Tests?"
"I mean like jealousy and shit like that."
"Oh, okay as long as you don't do anything to effect us." I smile as Natalie runs into class with Jazz. She blows a kiss at me and as she starts to walk past my desk I grab her waist. Kissing her gently on the lips. "Ahem, Mr. Edwards and Ms. Parker? Keep that out of the classroom please." We break away and she quickly runs to her desk. I chuckle, facing towards the teacher. The class dragged on with notes and a few assignments. I would occasionally get in trouble for staring at Natalie or talking to one of the boys, but that's usual. The bell rang, indicating it was time for lunch. Natalie quickly ran by me without even glancing at me. I looked at Kam whom shrugged and told me his first test for Natalie.
"Okay so first test is to see if she notices any other guys. So, I did some digging and found out that Carson Dickonson is apparently the sixth or seventh hottest guy in school so I asked him if he could hit on Natalie a bit."
"And he's doing it for free?" I ask, raising an eyebrow.
"Yep, he said she's hot."
"Bastard." I mumble.
"She's into you trust me, I bet she'll be polite and talk to him, but won't take interest in him like she does you." Kam pats my shoulder, I roll my eyes as we walk into the lunch room. I already see Natalie and Carson talking in the lunch line. I can hear her laugh a little and I immediately feel a pang of jealousy hit my stomach. I walk over to our usual table where Jazz and Charlie are already sitting. I feel small hands hug me from behind and I look up at Natalie's angelic face.
"Hey babe." I smile at her. I wonder what Carson said to her, prick.
"Hey!" She sits down in between me and her friends. I place my hand on her waist as she takes a bite of an apple.
"So... talk to anyone out of the usual today?" I ask, taking a bite out of her apple. She giggles while chewing on her apple.
"Ah yeah, Carson actually." She says, Charlie, Jazz, and the boys stare at us. "Um, he asked me out." She took another bite of her apple. I scowled, anger filling my body.
"What'd you say?" I asked, trying to hide my anger. She ran her fingers through my hair making me relax a little.
"I told him thank you for asking, but I have my eyes on someone else right now." She smiled, pinching my cheeks. I rolled my eyes happily, kissing her on the lips. The table erupted into 'aw's' making us laugh.
