When It Hurts So Good

CHAPTER 3

She's his sister. Natalie was Noah's sister.

I couldn't shake the fear out of my skin. This is bound to end badly. Well atleast it explains why she looked so familiar.

The bell had went off about a minute ago signaling lunch and i was in no rush to get there. Natalie packed her stuff and silently waited me for as i took my sweet time packing my own stuff.

" Any day now Elle". She teased. I offered her a smile not quite bothered that she called me elle instead of Elley.

" You know you don't have to wait for me".

" Why not?".

"I.. uh.. i-i wasn't really planning on having lunch inside today. I was just gonna have lunch on the bleacher by the football field".

" Oh that's even better. Can i join?". Damn it.

" you sure. I think you might be better off in the cafeteria. Where you could make some more friends". Which would be easy for her since she was attractive, friendly and not to mention, noah's sister.

" I already have all the friends I need, plus I brought a chicken sandwich and I'm willing to share".

It would be nice to have company but what would noah do if he found out.

" Ok. But I only have skittles and a bottle of water".

" it'll do". She smiled. We made our way to the bleachers passing several groups in the hall way who all started to whisper whenever we passed. Natalie was either oblivious to the situation or she didn't care.

When we made it to the bleachers I sat in the middle row and natalie sat on my left.

"Here you go" . She smiled as she took out a half of her chicken sandwich for me.

" Thanks". I said as i handed her my bag of skittles and took out my bottle of water.

" So do you always eat out here, alone?". Natalie asked almost timidly. " Not all the time". " and I don't really have much friends". She frowned " Why not. You seem pretty cool ". I felt flattered for a moment but then my eyes caught someone stomping their way over.

I sighed and nodded my head to his direction " That's why".

" why the fuck are you out here with... with " Noah tried to find the word, not even bothering to look at me " This ". My face heated with embarassment and I sighed.

" Oh. I'm sorry. I didn't know that I owe you an explanation for doing what the fuck i want to". Natalie fired back.

" You like to get on my nerves don't you?. Get your ass up and get into the cafeteria ". He said calmly.

" No". Natalie said equally as calm.

" Natalie..." he began.

" No". She said firmly.

" Fine. Stay with the black bitch, but dont come crying to me when she.." He stopped mid sentence when he turned to my direction.

His eyes took me in and I could swear that for minute I could see something different from hate and anger in his eyes but before I could even figure out what it was his face hardened and his infamous glare returned only even scarier than the first.

Usually now would be the time when I would look away to show my defeat but for some reason I kept looking at him. Taking his entire form in. Not in a lustful way ofcourse but just out of curiosity.

What did i really do to this boy to get him to hate me this much.

" You know what Noah. I think I'll be fine" he turned to Natalie with a glare then looked back at me.

" Stop looking at me you freak". Noah shouted then stormed away in frustration. But I didn't miss the slight tinge of pink on his cheeks. His crew followed behind except Abigail.

" Your brother's right nat. She's not worth your time". Abigail addded before she followed the rest. I rolled my eyes at her retreating form. Typical

Natalie also rolled her eyes and muttered something that sounded like dumb bitch.

" Are they the one's who did that you earlier". My silence answered her question.

" You know you should stand up for yourself". She said while she passed the skittles back to me.

" That's what got me in that mess in the first place". I replied sadly.

" Don't let him get to you. Noah's just complicated and the rest are just dipshits following thier leader".

After lunch me and natalie went our separate way. She had algebra and i had science thankfully. Even though science isn't much better. it's way better than math. I hate math.

Science class didn't take long to end and now I was making my way outside the school grounds to start my 15 minute walk home. I could easily ask my mom to pick me up but I  couldn't risk noah or his friends trying anything while she was here. That would be a disaster.

Or a crime scene.

" You can't tell me who I  can and can not be Friends with". A feminine voice shouted angryly.

" For the last time you can't trust her. Trust me Nat". A male voice shouted back. It wouldn't take a genious to figure out that the voices belonged to Noah and Natalie

" Oh please Noah, the poor girl is harmless and the only person I see getting hurt and taken advantage of is Elley".

" She's only getting what she deserves ".

" Thats just cruel noah. You shouldn't be treating her like this".

" I dont give a damn".

" What did she do to you to make you hate her so much ".

" Doesn't matter and it's none of your business".

I heard natalie sigh. I sighed too. I just can't wait to graduate high school.
