"You should go out with him. You haven't gone out with anyone since Tim." James was saying. I'd kinda tuned him out while he drove. "And we both know how well that had turned out." James grimaced. Tim had been this complete jerk and he'd acted like he'd really liked me but about a week after we'd started going out he started to pressure me. James had had to save me from Tim's hands. I shuddered so I could let James know what I was thinking.
"But Nathan is different. He's a lot nicer and almost all of his old girlfriends are his friends." James seemed to know that that was the wrong thing to say. "What I'm trying to say is that Nathan is an all around nice guy. Plus he really likes you." I rolled my eyes and said "That's what they all say James. You should now you're a guy yourself. I guess I'll think about it. But that's NOT a yes." I told him. James grinned at me and rolled his eyes. "You know what James?" I started to "dig" in my pocket I turned to face him and flipped him off while saying "Fuck you." He threw his head back and laughed. I smiled and rolled my eyes at him.
We got to my house. I was a little hungry. I went to my fridge and pulled out a box of strawberries. I pulled a strawberry out and bit the tip. Sweet juice flooded into my mouth I closed my eyes and savoured the taste. "Mmm." I said. I opened my eyes. James was watching me with a bemused expression on his face. "What? It was a good strawberry." I said. James just smiled shook his head and looked at the wall.
I put the box back and went to my bedroom.I knew without looking that James was following me. I sat in my desk chair and turned on my computer. "So how bout it?" James asked me. His voice was a little muffled. "How about what?" I asked him. I typed in my password for my computer. "Nathan." He said. I sighed. I really did need a boyfriend. It would probably help me get over my feelings for James. "Fine I guess so." I finally said. "Great. 'Cuz I was starting to feel bad that you didn't have a boyfriend." He said. He sat up on my bed and pulled out his cell phone probably to text Nathan.
I turned back to my computer and got on the internet. I looked at my email. No new mail. Oh well.
I put on some songs on iTunes. I took James cell phone out of his hand and threw it on my bed. Then I took his hand and pulled him up so that he was standing. We started to dance to the song. It was improve dancing so we didn't really know what we were doing. I almost peed my pants when James tried to do the worm. Emphasis on tried.
My mom called us for dinner after about an hour of dancing.
James grabbed me around my waist and put me over his shoulder. He took me to the table and finally sent me down in my chair. I had tears streaming down my face and my sides hurt. I don't think I'd ever laughed this hard in my life before. Phil just glared at the both of us before he started to eat his dinner.
A few hours after dinner James said that he had to go home but that he'd see me in the morning at school.
THE NEXT MORNING:
I got to school the next morning. I sat beside James in 1st period. A note landed on my desk. I turned around and there was Nathan. "Read it." he said. I turned back around and opened the note. It said:
Thx 4 sayin yes
I was a little hurt. I was his girlfriend and he couldn't even take the time to write his own girlfriend sentences? Douche. I forced a smile back on my face and turned to Nathan "You're welcome." I said. He beamed at me. I turned around and started working on our daily assignment. I felt a tap on my back "Do you have a pencil I can borrow?" Nathan asked me. I gritted my teeth and shook my head without turning around.
I heard my phone vibrate in my purse and I pulled it out under the top of my desk. WHAT'S WRONG?? James texted. I texted back and said NATHAN… HE'S GETTING ON MY NERVES. James replied back with a sad face. I put my phone away and again I started to work on assignment. "Do you have a piece of paper I can use?" Nathan asked me. I shook my head again. This was going to be a VERY short relationship.
3 weeks later…
"Nathan it's not you… it's me. I just don't belong with you. We don't belong together. I'm sorry." The look on Nathan's face almost broke my heart. Almost but not quite. All of the times he'd annoyed me these past 3 weeks came rushing back to me and I put on my best poker face so he couldn't see that I was relieved to be over with him. Meanwhile Nathan looked like he was about to cry. I hoped he found someone good. He was sweet and all but he wasn't really my type. 'I'm sorry." I told him then I walked away glad to be rid of him.
A/N: hoped you liked it. yes a little short. I know I'm slacking off a little but I'm really busy these days and unfortunately for you that means more time between chapters. Sorry
