| Third Person POV |
| Saturday Morning |
Nate wakes up and wears some athletic clothes. He goes to the kitchen and prepares a light breakfast. After eating he goes to the backyard for training and starts doing some warm-up with some music. After twenty minutes he goes against a sandbag for boxing. While Nate was training Allison woke up too, she goes open the curtains and see Nate training in his backyard. She goes to the kitchen to make herself a coffee and walks over to Nate for some company.
"Hey, Nate good morning" and hops over the fence and goes to sit on one of the chairs. Nate stops and faces Allison.
"Hey, good morning and how are you feeling?"
"Am good thanks for asking. What about you what are you doing today?" she says quickly trying to change the subject. To tell the truth, it hurt her a little, and felt humiliated. she was left alone at the party by her date, Scott who asked her out, and then when they were about to kiss he stormed off without any kind of explanation. She feels like this was a prank because she was the new kid in school and that it would be fun to make a joke out of her. Nate is a little concerned about her but he let it go.
"Well aside from training am thinking to rent some movies and maybe take a walk around the town. what about you?"
"I thinking of finishing the rest of the homework and then have to do some unpacking, my stuff is still in the boxes." "Really after almost a week you still haven't finished unpacking?" Nate says with sarcasm and a grin.
"Shut up, I was busy" "with being lazy?" "You little-" Allison throws a pebble at him which he dodges.
"Hey, do you want to come jogging in the preserve? am going to explore and see if it has anything interesting." Nate asks her and she thinks about it for a few seconds.
"Okay sure, I don't have much to do anyway and was thinking about starting training again I guess I start today"
"Really, what kind of training?" "Oh, nothing crazy some jogging and a few exercises for an hour or so."
"Well, you better go wear something else unless you thinking to run with slippers." "Right, be right back"
After a quick change, we see them run through the preserve at a slow pace while they take a look at the scenery and talk about school. They had run for a while now and are pretty deep inside the preserve when Nate decides to ask about Scott.
"Did you think about what are you gonna do with Scott?" Allison stops running and frowns at him.
"What do you mean?" Nate stops a second later and answers.
"I mean Scott's going to ask for a second chance so I'm asking what are you going to do about it?"
"And how exactly do you know that?" "Hey if you going to be aggressive about it let's just change the topic, am just trying to help you." Allison listens and sighs.
"You're right, I'm sorry it's just I get so mad about it and embarrassed he left me there without explaining or a word" she walks around as she apologizes and explains what she feeling. "Now come on tell me how you know he's going to ask for a second chance?"
"Well, he was staring at you a lot during school and I think he is captivated with you, you know he would give you a shy look and smile every time you met his eyes and smiled at him."
"Are you serious? I don't believe it. How much is a lot?" Allison asks shocked and weirded out about the whole staring thing.
"Well, like I said a lot. It was like you were his focus unless he was doing anything else." Nate says feeling awkward and it was showing in his tone. He didn't know you would feel like that about these things. This has never happened to him.
"Oh my god!" "What about you what made you agree to go with him?"
"I-I don't know, I guess I was intrigued with him you know, like how he knew I need a spare pen, or how he knew about the family dinner, or how he managed to calm down the dog, I think he a psychic or something and I wanted to find more about him." Nate decides to not comment on the strange things in Allison's opinion Scott did. Instead, he asks another question.
"So, do you think you can give him another chance if he apologizes and gives you a solid reason about what happened?
"I don't know I have to think about it and listen to what he says"
"Anyway, I heard about a burned-down house in the preserve let's go check it out. Come on" Nate says changing the subject. He starts running again searching for the house with Allison following him pondering about what to do with Scott. After a bit of running, they find the house.
"I read the report you know? They said it was caused by an electrical malfunction and I read that this kind of old house takes around 15 to 20 minutes before it burns down completely. You would think some of them would manage to escape but all 8 of them burned without leaving a corpse behind. I think it kind of suspicious." Nate states some of the things he learned about the fire that Is common knowledge. He then moves to look inside and opens the door. Allison stops him before he enters.
"Are you sure it is safe? What if it collapses?"
"I think is safe here look" he points at the floor.
"See the footprints they are fresh, someone else was here recently so I imagine if we don't touch anything it won't collapse" and slowly walks inside with Allison following
"So, you saying someone caused the fire?" Allison asks as she looks around with interest at the various items around and how some of them are mostly intact.
"Maybe I don't know, but if it was this house is too big for one man to do it alone." after looking around they decided to not go upstairs in case the floor collapses. Hence, they continued their run. Derek watched the leave. as soon as he heard people approaching the house, he left to hide fearing it was the hunters looking around. After seeing Nate and Allison he wanted to go over there and kicked them out of the property but stopped he didn't know if the Argent was in the knew and he didn't want to risk it. He already took one yesterday and he didn't want the Argents to know he was in town.
"Come on this way I think?" "To where?" "I read there is a cliff that overlooks the town. We can rest a little there and go back."
"Look, there it is" they arrive and sit next to a tree looking over the town and the rest of the preserve. Taking in the scenery and fresh air they relax and rest.
"Hey, do you want to come over tomorrow for movies? I'm going to call the others too to hang out." "Like?" "Danny, Jackson, Lydia, Joe"
"Sure, and what movies will we be watching?" "haven't decided yet I'm going to call the others and ask them if they want to come over and what movies they would like to watch and I'll go rent a few. I am thinking to get some comedy and horror like 'Zoolander' or 'scary movie' and also 'American Psycho' I would like to see them, the internet says they are classic"
"Hey, I know here" Nate says and hands over his phone to Allison.
"Let's take some photos" "What? Why?" "So, I can look at it remember the first friend a made come on." Nate drags Allison up and they took all kinds of different photos Alone, together, hugging, and making funny gestures behind each other. After some fun, they get back to running to their houses. And with 'see you Later's and 'bye's they went to take showers and go on with their plans for the day.
Later that day Nate sends Allison a message about tomorrow's plan and that they definitely were 'Notebook' if they wanted to Lydia come. Allison sends him smiles and laughing emojis.
