Boyfriend and Girlfriend
14 years old…
"Remind me" Shane said, following Nate to his locker. "Why ain't you and Caitlyn going out?"
Nate sighed. "Because we are best friends and Caity doesn't like me in that way and the feeling is mutual" Nate answered, going into his locker.
"How do you know that through?" Jason questioned. "Have you ever thought about asking Caitlyn?"
"I don't need to" Nate said, closing his locker.
"So if Caitlyn got a boyfriend and started leaving you, you wouldn't care?" Shane replied, folding his arms.
Nate had to think about that one but he knew his brothers were right; Caitlyn was getting older and she was getting more attractive and boys were taking notice.
"I'll talk to her…" Nate said, walking off.
"Caitlyn…Please remind me why you and Nate ain't going out?" Mitchie asked, following Caitlyn to the classroom.
"Because Nate is my best friend and it would be weird dating my best friend" Caitlyn answered. "I mean I do love Nate but I have never ever thought of him in that way"
"I mean you share the same birthdays and both of yours mom became friends afterward causing you and Nate to be best friends" Tess said, sitting down in her seat.
"Okay…Caitlyn just think what would you do if Nate got a girlfriend and end up forgetting you?" Ella responded. "Because you know that could happen"
"That won't happen…I and Nate are too close to let anything get in between our friendship" Caitlyn replied.
"Talk to him Caitlyn…" Mitchie said. "You two are both getting older and more attractive, boys are looking at you, girls are looking at Nate…"
"I'll talk to him if you drop the conversation…" I let out, cutting Mitchie sentence off.
Nate waited outside the school for Caitlyn; she was running late for some reason but Nate didn't know why but then he notice someone from his class came up to him.
"Hey Nate" A girl said.
Nate looks up. "Oh hey, Dana"
"You okay?" Dana Turner asked.
He nodded. "You?"
"Yeah not bad…What are you up to?" Dana questioned.
"Just waiting for Caity…" Nate answered.
"What are you doing this Friday night?"
"Eh…Nothing as far as I know" Nate said. "Why are you asking me out?"
"I'll see you at 6"
Nate nodded with a grin. "Yeah sure…"
Dana smiled and walked off then Caitlyn came up to me. "Oh my god, I am so sorry…I got caught up with talking to Dylan" Caitlyn replied.
"Who's Dylan?" Nate asked, standing up straight.
"Oh just some boy in my class…I'm seeing him this Friday night for a movie" Caitlyn answered.
"Oh so you got a boyfriend and didn't mentioning this to me" Nate said.
"Whoa…He's not my boyfriend and it only a date Nate…Don't know why you're getting so upset over it" Caitlyn argued with him.
"Not getting upset just wish you had told me instead of hiding it from me anyway, I'm off out with Dana on Friday night" Nate responded.
Caitlyn sighed. "Would have been nice to be informed Nathaniel"
"Oh stop it Caity…" Nate let out.
"Have ago at me for keeping secrets but then you go and keep one for yourself" Caitlyn argued with Nate.
"Grow up Caitlyn…I'm going home" Nate said, storming off.
Jean came into Caitlyn room. "Not on the phone to Nate?"
Caitlyn sighed. "I and Nate had a huge fight…"
"Oh Caitlyn, is everything okay?" Jean asked.
"It will be once he says he sorry" Caitlyn answered.
Denise went into Nate room to collect his dirty laundry.
"You're not on the phone to Caitlyn…" Denise responded, with a shocked face.
"I and Caity got into a huge fight at School" Nate answered. "It her fault…"
Denise chuckled. "Oh Nate…She a girl and growing up and so are you, sort it out because you and Caitlyn are better than this"
Denise left the room.
FRIDAY NIGHT…
Caitlyn and Dylan decided not to see a film and just went for a burger and chips.
"Are you okay Caitlyn?" Dylan asked.
Caitlyn snapped out of it. "Yeah…Sorry Dylan, just my mind somewhere else"
Dylan nodded and went to sit next to Caitlyn. "Would you mind me kissing you?"
Caitlyn nodded. "Sorry Dylan but I'm kind of waiting for someone else"
Dylan smiled. "Nate…"
Caitlyn sighed. "Sorry…"
"It's fine…I'll take you home" Dylan said.
"No it's okay…I'm just going to sit with my friends" Caitlyn responded, getting up and walking over to them.
"Wow…Date over" Shane said.
Caitlyn rolled her eyes. "Where's Nate?"
"Bloody hell Caitlyn, you still moaning about your fight with Nate" Mitchie asked.
Caitlyn nodded. "I and Nate have never had a fight…"
Shane and Jason muttered. "Got that right…"
"He still out with Dana…" Tess said.
"Not anymore…" Peggy pointed out.
Nate walked over to them all. "Hey guys…"
"Date over?" Shane asked.
Nate nodded. "Yeah…"
Caitlyn sighed. "I'm going home…"
"Do you want me to walk you home?" Nate asked. "No I am walking you home"
Caitlyn laughed lightly and they both said they goodbyes and left. During the walk home; Caitlyn and Nate made conversation…
"How was your date with Dana?" Caitlyn asked.
"Err…Didn't go well" Nate answered. "Yours"
"I didn't have my mind fully in the date" Caitlyn replied.
Caitlyn and Nate came face to face.
"Look Caity…I'm sorry for having that argument with you at School" Nate burst out. "I just don't like the thought you being with anyone else but me"
"Me too" Caitlyn said, quietly. "You're my best friend and I don't want to share anything with anyone else but you"
"I like you Caity…" Nate responded.
"I like you Nate" Caitlyn replied.
They both hugged each other and then pulled out.
"Promise, we won't have a fight again" Nate said.
"I am never fighting with you again…I hate you being cold towards me" Caitlyn laughed, giving Nate a hug.
"Best friends?"
Caitlyn sighed. "How about you ask me to be your girlfriend?"
Nate blushed. "Caity…Will you be my girlfriend?"
"Yes" Caitlyn answered, giving Nate a kiss on the cheek.
Denise and Jean were looking out of the window and gave each other a high five. "Sorted"
