Winter Break -- VERY SLOWLY EDITING

Chapter 3

(Nates POV)
Its the beginning of school since winter break. The only period that me and Melody have together is youth math, which sadly is my 7th period.

I have to wait 7 hours until I can see Mel again. Well actually not technically we have lunch together. "Nathan Sykes I have called your name three times please stop daydreaming."

Blood rushes to my face. I am overwhelmed with embarrassment when the whole class turns to look at me. I can hear a few kids giggling as I'm being called out, "Yes Mr. T."

I put my head down on my desk hoping no one else is able to recognize my bright red face, "What were you daydreaming about this time Loser? Your imaginary date to the dance!" At this remark everyone starts laughing their heads off.

Now my face looks like a bright red cherry, "Shut up Dylan." It was the best comeback I had.

Meet Dylan Werks: The most annoying kid in the school. He was kicked off the football team for doing drugs. If that doesn't say alot about him I don't know what will.

"Make me bitch." The word hurts, but it's not anything I'm not used to.

I get up out of my seat and punch Dylan right in the nose. I had no clue where this sudden action came from but the satisfying crunching of bones made me smirk.

Dark red, almost black, liquid starts poring down his face from his nose, "Mother fucker! You broke my nose." The whole class goes silent.

"Nate and Dylan! Princapls office! NOW!" I storm out off the room not waiting for Dylan or my teacher.

(Melody's POV)
Paper airplanes fly around Coach Wagners room. Yelling and screaming, laughter and giggles, "That's enough class. I'm trying to take roll. Now, Sylvia Adams."

"Here!"

"Sam Brown?"

"Here."

I was the last person on her roaster. She finishes calling the other 22 kids on her list then takes a long inhale, "Melody Parks."

I roll my eyes when a kid pretends to cough and says slut.

"Here." I always have to go through that but after awhile you get used to it and just start blocking it out. Even if it's a lie.

"Oh my gosh. I thought you would in a stall making out or something." Snickers arise from the class.

"Diddo. Last I heard you were caught fucking your boyfriend's brother for fifty bucks." Oohs and ahhs arose from the class and I rolled my eyes.

"Do you want to come here and say that to my face hoe bag."

"I'd be glad to." I got up and lowered myself to her level, "Fuck. Off." I coiled my arm back and bitch slapped her straight across the face.

"She just slapped me!" I turn around and start walking toward the door.

"Ms. Parks–" I open the door and walk out of the class room down to the principal's office with a smirk on my face.

On any other day I would've felt bad, but today I couldn't help but smile at the fact that I left a hand print on her face. She deserved it too.

On my way to the office I see Dylan slowly walking the same way I'm going so I decide to make my own day, and I punched him in the stomach.

(Nates POV)
"Mr. Nathan Sykes. What has gotten into you. You are nice to everyone."

I roll my eyes, "Nothing." As soon as I'm done talking there was only a split second of silence before there was another knock on the door.

"Come on in." Mr. Colby sighed, but when we turned to see who it was, both our eyes widened in shock. I assumed that it would've been Dylan. By the look on Mr. Colby's face I believe he thought so to, but who it was left a pause of stunned silence.

"Well isn't today a day full of surprises. Melody please take a seat next to Nathan. Now why are you two here." I can't believe Melody out of all people is here. "I could ask the same for you Nate."

*************
(Melody's POV)
I can't believe Nate is in the principal's office too. "I could say the same for you Nate." I responded.

Why is he in here?, "Dylan was making fun of me and called me a bitch, so I punched him and broke his nose."

That's why Dylan was walking down the hall with a napkin on his nose. I chuckled to myself at the thought, "What about you Melody?"

"Alyssa called me a slut and a hoe bag so I slapped her." There was another knock on the door.

Mr. Colby audibly sighed, "Who is it this time. Come in."

It was Dylan and Alyssa "We are gonna kill you bitch's!"

Ashely and Dylan talked at the same time. There voices sounded monotone together. Another moment of silence passed.

"I quit. Resolve this yourselves. Call me when your down for your punishment." Mr. Colby walked out of the room. I was expecting either Dylan or Pricella to speak up but what came next was no where close to what actually happened.

*********
(Nates POV)
I wanted Melody and I to escape but not like how we are escaping. Something clicked inside of me I could not let Mel get hurt by them. I grabbed her arm and ran.

I ran straight out of the principals office. Right outside of school. I took Mel to the nearest alleyway I could find. Then we hid.

A few minutes passed. "Nate. What did we do?" She looked at me with wide and  scared eyes. I had no response.

All I could do was pull Melody close to me. She set her head on my shoulder and started crying. I'm sorry. I cupped her tear stained face in my hands and wiped away her tears. They way her green eyes shimmered with tears I couldn't restrain myself. I kissed her. She didn't push away so I kissed her harder. Then she kissed me back. "Hey it's all right I'm here."
