mine first

•3•

Last night wasn't the best experience for me. I got it pretty hard. My dad didn't like that I had a boy over. He thought we weren't studying. He thought we were doing other shit together, but that wasn't the case at all.

Now I have to cover my entire face before going to school. I have to wear tons of makeup and a hoodie to try and cover my neck. I swear it's so hard to cover myself, but I have to. I have no other option.

After I park the car I get out and I start to walk to the school. I started taking the car again. He never lets me drive it, but I don't care anymore.

"Nat!"

I turn around to see Brandon walking towards me. I honestly thought he would never talk to me at school because he has to act cool and shit. He has to be around the cool people and I'm not one of them.

"Hi," I say as we start to walk inside together.

"How are you?" He asks.

"I'm fine," I say.

"You okay? You seem off," he says.

Brandon must be really good at reading people. It's like he knows something is up with me. He knows that I'm acting weird. I wonder if he can read a lot of people.

"No, I'm okay," I say. "How are you?"

"Good," he says. "I was thinking we could study at my place tonight? You could stay for dinner as well."

"And meet your family?" I ask.

"Well it will just be my little sister and I home," he says. "I was going to make meatball subs."

"You cook?" I ask. I open my locker and he leans up against the one next to mine.

"I do," he smirks. "And I want to make it for you tonight."

"Are you sure?" I ask as I put my books in the bottom of my locker. "I don't want to do this whole thing with you to just get hurt. I know how guys like you are."

"What's that supposed to mean?"

"Nothing bad," I say as I grab my first period books, "I've just been hurt in the past. I know we aren't anything, but a guy best friend can break your heart too."

"That's not my intentions."

"Good," I say. "Then I guess tonight works for me. What time?"

"I'll pick you up around five," he says.

I close my locker door, "Okay, that's perfect."

Thankfully he's not picking me up any later. My dad gets home around six and he would kill me if he saw Brandon around here again. I have to be really sneaky about who I hang around with.

"Good," he says. "I'm going to grab my shit. I'll see you in there."

"Okay," I say. He walks away to go to his locker and I start to walk towards my first period class.

I really don't know how I feel about this whole thing with Brandon. I feel like he is a good guy, but then again I feel like he's totally different when he's around his friends. I feel that he will hang with me when we are alone and shit, but he'll be a dick when he's with his friends.

And I already know I'm starting to fall for him. I fall for people way too easily. That's just the type of person I am. He's perfect. He's sweet to me and not to mention that's he's hot as hell. I wish I didn't fall so easily.

"Nataile!"

I turn around to see Chloe walking towards me. I stop in the hallway and I wait for her to catch up. "Hi," I say once she is close to me.
