The Only One

chapter three

Nate's trying hard to stay calm and not scream at me. The veins in his neck are bulging, his palms are curled into tight fists and his breathing in ragged. I balantly ignore the enternal war he going through and go through my phone.

It's kinda hard with only one hand. The girls today, are curious about two things. Why my hand is bandaged and why Nate is looking like that.

They're also all silently gushing over my new handbag on the table which was released yesterday, I think and which I obviously did not get. My dad's to blame for all if this, actually. He'd buy whatever is the latest trend and would send it over through his butler, carl.

I just use it because it makes him happy. That smile he gives when I say that I am using it is the only that gives me some serenity these days.

Oh, honey boy goes here too. Ever since I saw his honey blonde hair under the neon lights of the bar. This was the name that stuck. He's made a lot of friends already on his first day. Even the other two boys he was with in the bar are with him. By the looks of it, they're all quite close.

With his skinny black jeans, a plain white t shirt and his disheveled hair, he been attracting a lot of girls.

"What the hell, kid? You don't do shi- I mean stupid things like this? " Nate exclaims, snapping me out my thoughts.

I sigh. Hear we go.

I see Kevin and Tony laugh at something Ryan say. They already made friends with these people in my absence. Ryan and his girlfriend Rina who are seniors , Jonathan, Eric and his girlfriend Lana.

Rookie is getting scolded by Nate. They must be close. Maye even a couple. I saw them hugging in the entrance of music theory class. That is the one class I share with her. Kevin told me she was in his rapping class. Tony told me she was in his guitar, piano class too.

They are now in a heated argument and it's caught the cafeteria's attention. I hear Lana say,
"That girl is dope. She stood up to Leslie and Anna, the two most biggest bitc- oh god I'm so gonna lose this dare!"

Apparently all of them played truth or dare and she was given the dare of not swearing for a week and everyone is can see her struggling to keep her cool.

"Anyway, she is really awesome. She one of the people who signed up for many mint teas this year for a sophomore. And she's a total savage. "

Now I heard that a mint tea is a course offered in at this place. All the sophomores have named it a mint tea because of the welcome speech the principal gave them. He apparently said that whenever he hears good progress from all the class instructors, he'd feel as if he had a nice cool mint iced tea on a hot summer day.

Lana looks like she adores her. Has pink hair styled into a bob cut and does rapping. Eric on the other hand, does piano. Has chocolate brown hair and silver eyes. They're extreme opposites. Ryan and Eric are cousins and Rina and Lana's families are close friends. What a strange connection right?

Rina is the cool chick too. She has a nose piercing and blonde electric blue hair. She has chocolate eyes and she completely adores Ryan.
Ryan is quite cool although he's a soft spoken person with soft features. He silver blonde and his eyes are kind of a live blue colour.

The fight has intensified and now everyone is watching. Her eyes are hard, stubborn. Nate looks defeated. He says something , and she immediately looks away. What is going on?

"I'm telling you I'm fine! Why are you getting so godamned worked about it? It was only one fight! "

"It was really a dumbo move on your part. You don't just decide on fighting a guy just because he called the other men weak! "

"He called them girls! What does that say about a girl uh? We're all just supposed to sit and paint our nails all day, and hide and cry when you insult us like that? "

He sighs. He says a little gently now,
" What that crack nut said was insulting but that doesn't mean you go put your life on the line just to prove a point? "

"What he said wasn't insulting, Nate. It was wrong. I just showed him that. " His jaw slackens.

"Now are you going to continue with this? ". I tilt my head.

" Maybe. Why? "

" So I can come with you? " I look away from him. What will I do without this boy? I sigh.
"Now I'm mad. " He mutters, which makes my lips twitch. Then I notice the entire cafeteria watching us. I give them a hard look and they all immediately look away.

Except Leslie and Anna. They really do hate me. Ever since I came here, I 'stole' the attention they used to get from all the boys. The difference between them and me is I don't smear my face with makeup. At the most I use only eyeliner and lipstick.

I roll my eyes right to their face and catch someone else's eye. Honey boy lightly blinks at me as if a promise that he'll do that only for me. I feel my lips twitch. I quickly look away before I smile at him. Out of my peripheral vision I see him smile in my direction. That is one flirty smile.

What is this feeling? I am not allowed to feel like this. I only end up broken. He could be another Josh Millers. I immediately squeeze my hands together. There's something telling me he's not like that. I ignore that feeling completely. I start to go numb in my arms.

"Do you want to come over to the dorm today?" Nate asks. Even though he hardly shows emotions,I can he looks excited in his eyes, with a hint of nervousness.

"What for? " I ask carefully.

"Oh, just to hang out. " He shrugs. Now I'm more suspicious. This side of him looks weird. I nod at him and I swear I see him praying. Well i'll find out tonight anyway.
