I am aware that this chapter is REALLY short, and I am aware that I haven't updated in like 2 months. I'm going to France in like... an hour, so I quickly wrote this up so that you guys (if any of you are left) at least get something. Yeah, go read now.
When I get back to school on Monday, I immediately start looking for Dana before I walk into the classroom. However, before my search gets going, Tess waltzes up to me.
"Hey Nate," she purrs into my ear, wrapping her arms around my neck. Distracted, I pull mine around her waist as I crane my neck to see Dana finally walk up.
Unfortunately, she walks up hand in hand with Luke.
She takes one look at Tess clinging to my neck and turns her head the other way.
Two can play that game.
"Hey." I pull Tess closer to me, looking down into her huge blue eyes. She smirks and pulls me into the classroom. This time, I don't even debate about whether or not I should sit with Tess. Besides, Luke is hovering over Dana's desk. I don't want to be subjected to hearing him sweet talk her.
Just as Mr. Mogg enters the room and is about to start class, both Dana and Luke look up to see me watching them. I try to quickly advert my eyes, but it's too late. I was caught.
I reach out and grab Tess' hand, rubbing the back of it with my thumb in big circles. Tess starts giggling and I smirk, allowing my eyes to dart back to Dana. This time, I catch her staring at us. My smirk widens as I turn my attention to Mr. Mogg.
We learned something about harmonies that class. I'm not really sure, because Tess' hand on my crotch was pretty distracting. Especially when it started moving.
Class ends with homework of creating a harmony for a melody given to us in class. Tess gives me a quick kiss on the cheek before heading to her English class, leaving me with quite a problem in my lap. I grab my binders and hold them in front of my problem, intending to make a quick getaway. Dana has other plans though.
"Nate," I hear her soft voice trail after me as I dash from the room. I hesitate, wanting to get to the bathroom quickly but also wanting to hear what she has to say.
I sigh and turn around to see her. Her eyes dash down to the way I'm holding my books and her gaze hardens a little.
"I'm sorry for anything I've done that you didn't like… but you have to accept that Luke is my… friend," she manages to get out.
I raise my eyebrows. "He's your friend? Just your friend?"
She closes her eyes and shakes her head. "Nate, I really like you, and I want to stay friends with you, but if you can't accept him… then you can't accept me." She gazes into my eyes, hers pleading with me to understand.
I slowly back away. "I guess I can't accept you then." She huffs and turns around, walking away with Luke who was waiting nearby. He smirks at me and throws me the peace sign before walking down the hall with her.
Honestly, that really just killed the mood. I don't need to go to the bathroom to take care of business anymore.
This is kinda fillery, but I needed to have something like this in here.
Nominations for the Indie CR Awards closes on Friday, so it'd be a pretty sweet gift if I come back to France to find out I've been nominated ;)
You can follow me on twitter as joannacamilley or KevinJonasArmy, though I recommend the second one ;)
Please review. I didn't get any reviews last chapter, and this is what you get, so... :)
