Dirty Little Secret

Friends and Moves

Nicolas' POV

        I jump out of the car and frown to myself as I sniffle a little bit, too scared to turn back around and aay something.

    I don't know what I would have said, but I just wanted him to turn around and say something to me, anything so I wasn't sitting there looking at the back of his head.

     Life sucks.

     I try not to cry as I walk away from the car and up the sidewalk, my book bag hung tightly on my back as I pass all the people that talk about Jason and look down on me.

    When I get inside, it's a bit of a struggle for me to push through all of the people in my way, their bodies too bog and string for me to move them too much. Once I finally get through the door and away from the people standing in front of it, I make my way toward my locker.

     When I look up, I lock eyes with Liam, the boy standing next to some teammates as he glares at me and I pick up my pace, wondering why the earth decided that it doesn't like me anymore when I don't do anything but cry and eat ice cream. The world is so unfair.

    By the time I get to my friends standing around my locker, I've completely forgotten what day it is until Nathan wraps his arms around me and pulls me into him making me blush.

     "It's the birthday boy. Sixteen and looking fine." He tells me and I glance up at him through my lashes to see him already looking down at me, his hair falling into his eyes making me glance away with nerves, only to see Jason walking path us down the hall.

      "I forgot it was my birthday." I tell him quietly. While I've been crying nonstop about Jason, and him being my Mate, the fact that today is my birthday has completely slipped my mind.

      "Forgot?!" Shelley says, flipping her hair behind her ear and I nod my head softly making her frown and pout at me. "That won't do at all Mister. What would you like to do?" She asks me and I think about it before I shrug.

      "I don't know. I usually spend the day with my family." I tell them, though I know this year I don't want to have to be home at all. Not if he's not talking to me.

     I've never been a good liar and now I have to lie to everyone around me.

    Shelley and her girlfriend Tiffany, go to leave, hand in hand before turning towards me. "Don't spend it at home. Let us know if you want to come and hang with us." Shelley offers and I nod towards her before the two of them walk away leavening Nathan and I by ourselves.

    I reach for my locker and take my time in opening it, not caring about anything but wanting to disappear for a little while.

     "So, did you find your Mate?" Nathan asks me and I feel my face burn a thousand degrees as my stuff falls from my hands and tumbles on to the floor. I crouch down, face towards the floor as Nathan follows me down. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to scare you." He apologizes.

      "It's okay. I didn't find them." I tell him, the lie sounding wrong in my mouth but if he picked up on it, Nathan doesn't say anything before he places my books in my hand.

      "Oh." He says but doesn't elaborate as I put my book bag in my locker and pull out the books I need for my first few classes. I struggle to get them straight in my arms, but before they can fall again their taken out of my hands.

     "Sorry." I tell Nathan and he just smiles and shrugs at me.

     I shut the door of my locker and begin walking towards my class, surprised with Nathan holding my books for me since he's never done that before. My cheeks as red as we walk down the hallway, him walking close with all the people around, pushing us into each other.

     "Do you actually want to hang out with your family tonight? You're finally of age." Nathan asks and I think about it as we walk up the stairs. 

      "I want to be far away from home right now." I whisper to him as if it's a secret and maybe it is. I've always been family oriented because they're all super protective of everyone especially me. It makes me feel wrong to not want to hang out with them.

      "What if we go somewhere. Like to the movies and for ice cream?" He offers and I perk up at the mention of ice cream.

     "I know a cool place that has really good shakes!" I tell him, getting excited and happy for the first time today. His answering smile is big as he nods, his smile crooked as we slow to a spot in front of my classroom.

     "Yeah. Cool. So I can pick you up from your house around six? Is that okay?" He asks me and I nod my head excitedly. He grins before placing my books in my hands softly so rhat I don't drop them.

     "Thank you." I tell him, not just for my books but for the offer to hang out and making me smile after Jason and Benny wore my down.

    "Anytime." He tells me before walking away and I actually have a smile on my face when I walk through the door of my classroom.
