Ambers POV
It was a simple task... Well at first it was. Discard the key in a well enough hidden place where I'd find it later.. If I wanted to... Hide the exams in someone else's unlocked locker... And then done. The exams would be postponed and I'd get to watch brother dearest get a bit of trouble for the price of a little entertainment.
It was perfect! I mean how bad could delayed exams and a lost key be? My gosh I didn't realise it was the end of the whole world people!
I stood there fuming while Cappucine relayed to me the news on the new girl's progress with her little stupid 'investigation'...
"From what I can see she's found the key already but the exams haven't been located." She finished.
"So..." I began, keeping my cool, "the little kitten thinks she can get closer to my brother by kissing his butt huh? Doesn't surprise me, she IS just his type..." I laughed.
"Oh what? Short and ugly?" Li chimed.
Well, even if the key was found, that wasn't the important thing. It was only a matter of time though before ...
Oh god, there she is...
"Excuse me, have you seen castiel?" She asked...
What? Her?! And castiel? Oh puh-leeeease...
"No actually I haven't, and what he'd want with a little kitten like you I have no idea!" I retorted. She was fuming, I smiled...
"What's the matter? I thought you liked my brother! Isn't Natty good enough for you?" I added before grabbing Li and Charlotte and rushing away, smashing her into the lockers as I walked past..
Little hussy trying to steal my brother AND my (future) boyfriend! I WOULDN'T STAND FOR IT!
"Li, who's locker did I put those exams in?" I asked quickly.
She thought for a minute, "you were gonna frame Melody, the goody two shoes that keeps stalking Nathaniel..." She said before flicking her compact open...
Ugh seriously Li, that shade of pink is hideous on your face...
Anyway...
"Okay, girls! I have a change of plan. Goody two shoes can wait, I want this new chick to suffer. Get those exams..."
I spied her locker area... She thought I didn't notice, but I'd made a point of tracking her, and finding out where it was..
"And I want you to put them in hers. She's a real pain, it'd be a shame for her not to get what she deserves!" I suggested.
They went their separate ways and I just had to wait now. I spied castiel outside and smirked. I'd pushed past him too earlier.
While doing so I tried to lay a hand on his pants but I ended up pick pocketing him. It wasn't a wallet like I thought it was... It was these gross cigarettes... Shame he should smoke, I hate smelly guys. No sweat, I'll just make him quit once we start going out.
When it happens anyway.
I'd kill two birds with one stone. My brother will hate her for the exams issue, and castiel will think she's a little thief as well. I walked over to her locker, and smirked at the undone lock. So much for organisation kitten...
I placed them in.. No one would know! Oh, except me!
Castiels POV
I was just about to go back inside and check the staircase again when someone bumped into me AGAIN!
"Hey what where your... Oh it's you." I muttered. Figures she would just show up right when I'm in a bad mood.
To my ... Um... Utter shock and surprise... And confusion
She hugged me.
"H-hey, whoa slow down pussycat! I don't like you that much!" I tried to pry her off me, but she let go before I could apply any force.
"I'm sorry, I just wanted to thank you. I know you couldn't care less, but still... I promise I won't be as much of a pussycat anymore."
Now how could I not be a little tiny, microscopic bit touched by that?
Meh... All this sentimental crud is making my craving worse...
" hey, no sweat... And if you happen to find my cigarettes ya wouldn't mind passin them along to me would you?" I dismissed her.
She roller her eyes but nodded. Maybe she wasn't so bad.
It was then that I saw it... That Asian girl that hangs out with amber was shuffling around with some papers in a locker... That wasn't hers.
"Have you locked your locker today?" I hinted. She didn't get it at first, but then must've remember as she bolted back into the school and tried to get to it. Completely forgetting about me. Pfft so much for liking me a bit more.
I looked back to her locker... Or so I guessed it was, and the chick was gone. Hmmm...
Anyway, its not any of my business anymore.
Nathaniels POV
...About an hour later...
It had been... A hectic day shall we say? Poor Voaz, she's been turning herself inside out trying to help me. I wish she wouldn't fuss so much. I'd much rather she relax and not get messed up in my own confusing life...
She's helpful though. I know she means well. I just hope she can settle into the school better once everything has settled down.
Oh who am I kidding. This school is crazy, and I'm one of the only sane ones left!
Maybe I should find some way to thank her for the things she's done for me. She keeps going over and beyond necessity, and if I'm not mistaken, I'm pretty positive she likes me a little more than 'relatively friendly acquaintance' from the holes she's stared into the back of my head in literature class.
I sighed as I sat down and gazed over the room, my days worth of duties done for now, and no more study to distract myself with. I hadn't even brought my most recent book with me today so reading was also out of the question.
I smirked as I thought of the similarities. I love crime novels, and Voaz seems to be constantly stuck in one, pulling these investigations and snooping around catching hooligans.
I was deep in thought from there about my book when I heard it.
A shout... A thud, screaming... Uh oh.
I rushed out the door and then my body went cold. There, on the floor, pulling each others hair and throwing hurried punches, my sister and Voaz were going full on brawl mode, a random locker overflowed and the contents scattered.
What on earth was going on?!"
"Amber! Voaz! Stop this, this is ridiculous!" I shouted at the two of them, my entire spirit felt like it'd been dragged through tar, as yet again I found myself plagued with some explosive reaction to a probably petty issue. I sent a harsher glare than I should have at Voaz, who should know better than to provoke her like this. My sister would get in trouble regardless as I've got the sneaking suspicion she may have been the instigator.
"Get up you two and stop this before I decide to make it official! You're not children, OR animals, and I've been put through too much stress today, okay?" I finished before turning on my heel and pulling Amber with me. I swear I have NEVER felt this angry and... Hurt?
In my life!
I... Kind of thought that she was better than that.
I looked back at her feeling guilty now, ignoring my sisters shouting protests...
But what I saw was what really did it to me.
"Voaz! What the heck? Since when were you the fighting type?" Castiel was there at her side, she was in tears... I'd never seen him act like that before.
He bent down and picked her up, holding her... Tightly
"Okay, it's okay, she's the real prick around here anyway... Her AND her brother."
And to think I, almost... I almost liked her too.
Present time...
And well.. Despite how cozy I may have gotten with castiel, those few minutes after the brawl... It was later after school when I overheard him and Nathaniel arguing, again, and that was what lead to this.
So as you can see, I probably SHOULDN'T be hating him so much... It was amber, sneaking those exams, AND Castiels cigarettes into my locker that caused the fight, but of he hadn't been all cuddly with me like that... Even though I really appreciated it...
Oh who was I kidding? I looked up at him with a plain expression as he scribbled something into the desk... I pursed my lips, not really approving of that, but whatever.
I got up and decided to sit next to him.
He stopped and stared at me. I locked my eyes on the surprisingly good WingedSkulls logo he'd drawn on the table.
"Hey ... Look, I'm sorry I got him so pissed off at you..." He started, finally acknowledging why I was so upset with him...
"No, that's not a problem anymore. He'll get over himself. It was just in the heat of the moment, I mean come on!" I smirked, despite regretting it, "did you even SEE the number I did on her face? Not even her usual thirty layers of foundation is going to cover THAT up!" I laughed ignoring the bruise on my own face.
To be fair, she had been suspended, and I was to sit after school detentions for a week, so at least when livid Nathaniel still had some logic to work with.
"Aww yeah, I'd have to say that was pretty nasty." He agreed.
"Yeah so anyway, as you've probably noticed, I deserved this." I sighed, grabbing a pencil of my own and sketching the logo of my favourite band next to his.
He stared at me for a second before asking, "it's not me in a dress again is it?" I snickered and shook my head.
Before too long the distinct triangular prism, with a ray of light being converted into a rainbow made its way onto the desk despite the lack of colours.
"Is that Pink Floyd?" He asked studying my little scribbles.
"Yeah." I shrugged. "I like rock sometimes... I know a lot more bands but most you'd probably not like." I replied.
He smiled and took his pen and began to scribble some more logos... And so detention continued, with our little guessing game. I have to say, for all the trouble he causes me, he's really a nice guy. If only Nathaniel didn't hate me now...
I'd have to make it up to him. My heart is literally broken even in the short amount of time I've known him. Is it possible that I could possibly make up with him, and somehow still be friends with Castiel?
I'd have to find out.
To be continued...
Okay guys! I'm sorry this thing followed the game storyline for so long but after this chapter I'm making it branch off into its own story! I also have never written for Nathaniel or amber before in my life, so please please PLEASE tell me if I did well? THANK YOU!
