Anyways, here is Chapter 15;D
Natalie P.O.V. (A Year Later)
Being a freshman in high schools sucks. Specially when a certain Claire is part of the senior class. Her friend, Lacey has become part of the La Push student body and it's been hell.
Both of them along with the occasional Hannah, are always cornering me in the hallways when it's only us. I'm always sure to be careful who I talk to and who I tell my secrets to.
Dana and Shantie are also people who have just been making school difficult for me.
At least Nathan is always there for me. I wonder what he's doing right now. Maybe he miss-
"NATALIE ROSE CARTER!" Chasity squealed, her curled hair bouncing.
Smiling, I stood up and greeted her with a hug, "Hey! How was your vacation?"
She sat down and proceeded to tell me of her trip to Rio. Her eyes dreamily scanned across the campus full of kids when she finished, "Have you seen Johnny around?"
I laughed, "Of course you would ask about him. Actually, I have, but I gotta warn you, Chas, he's gotten. . . Big."
"What do you mean- Holy shit! Is that him? What the hell?" She exclaimed, blatantly staring at the new an improved Johnny Castreda.
His eyes quickly met mine when he turned and he then looked back down just as fast.
Chasity fumed silently, "Why didn't he come say hi to us, Natalie?"
"Well, we were supposed to meet up here in the morning, but. . . He never came to my house, so I figured that he was already here. And he was, except the prick didn't speak to me." I'm pretty sure anyone half a mile away could hear the malice in my voice.
My morning sucked. I got ready and everything! My nerves were killing me because he and Chris didn't come to pick me up like they promised and I was gonna be late to school on my first day. So, Austin had to drive me to school, along with Jacob, Robert, Brady and Paul.
Practically everyone was staring as they all yelled, "HAVE A GREAT FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL, NATALIE!"
A few snobby-looking girls made their way to me and asked how I knew them. I had answered the true, I had know them all my life.
The 'leader' laughed and then they all started laughing, "You should hang out with us during lunch. You'll fit in perfectly! My name's Cara."
I told them my name and after that, they left.
"Ooh," Chasity winced, "Aren't the other guys here?"
Sighing pathetically, I said to her, "I called them all during break, but according to their parents, they are all sick and probably won't make it to school until next week."
Chasity groaned, "I was really planning to make one of them my boyfriend this year!"
I laughed, "You would say that!"
She shrugged, "Just because I want to go on double dates with you and Nate, which by the way is a hot piece of ass."
"I know, you tell me that every time he's mentioned," I teased.
Looking somewhat excited she replied, "And he'll introduce me to some of his friends soon! So yay! I might get a boyfriend after all. Hopefully a hot one."
We stood up as the bell rang and intertwined our arms. We both looked great today and we weren't tired at all, unlike the rest of the school, so we probably already got a new nickname. Maybe the 'Pretty, Peppy, Petty Girls Who Never Look Sad'. That wouldn't be too bad, though.
On our way to the auditorium, I noticed that Claire ditched her friends for Johnny. Neither of them looked too happy about it, though.
The principal did his introductions and yada, yada, yada, basically we were going to spend the first day of school touring the campus. The upperclassmen were to go to their classes, which meant the juniors and seniors.
The sophomores were going to stay in the field the whole day.
We, the freshmen, were the one's going to take the tour with our class schedule.
My schedule was so frickin boring;
Social Studies- Mr. Chastic
Science- Mrs. Noble
Algebra II Honors- Mr. Samisol
Reading/Writing- Mr. Kingnight
Elective/Ballet- Mrs. Florendo
Foreign Language/Spanish- Mrs. Castillo
Physical Education- Mrs. Isacco
Unfortunately, Chasity's schedule was missing a few of my same classes.
Physical Education- Mrs. Isacco
Science- Mrs. Noble
Algebra II Honors- Mr. Samisol
Reading/Writing- Mrs. Benson
Elective/Art- Mr. Lawrence
Foreign Language/Spanish- Mrs. Castillo
Social Studies- Mr. Chastic
A total of three classes together.
Chasity's eyes were so wide that it seemed she were about to cry. "This sucks! What if we stop talking to each other! That always happens! Your the only person I actually like to hang out with, Natalie!"
"We'll be fine, Chas. Don't stress out so much. Before you know it, we'll be off to college, like we planned. No weirdness, okay? Besides, we'll always have weekends to hang out and catch up!" I said, trying to console her.
She shook her head, "This sucks. I don't even have first period with you! I officially hate high school! And it's p.e.! Fuck my life! Who'll run with me and not let me lag behind? What if my teacher is mean and a total bitch?"
Laughing, I hugged her. "No stress, okay? I'll text you during class and whenever my teacher isn't looking at me."
Not too pleased with my answered, dejectedly she replied a quiet, "Fine."
Ironically, the bell rang and she seemed panicked, "Fuck my life. I'll see you later."
"Bye!" I called back, as I watched her scurry through the large crowd of teenage bodies. She really looked splendid today, too bad that fate wasn't in her favor.
Meanwhile, I learned that Olive was in my first class. We spoke during the whole period. She had been separated from her friends, too, well not friends. More like the people she liked to sit with, according to her.
"What's your next class?" she whispered, giggling at the way the poor teacher tried to gain the class' attention.
I took a glance at the front of my white folder, "I have Mrs. Noble and you?"
A look of relief crossed her adorable features, "Phew! Me, too! I'm really glad that at least someone I actually like is in my classes, or at lest some of them."
"I know, right? Chasity was freaking out about not having the same p.e. period as me," I mumbled.
"Obviously! I would be devastated, I mean, your really the only person that ever waits for her. I would wait for her, too, but I never had that class with her." Olive's face scrunched up, "That sucks."
Unintentionally, I laughed out loud, causing the whole class to become quiet and stare at me. I felt my face grow warm and the teacher took the opportunity to make his introductions.
"What was so funny?" Olive asked, chuckling a little bit herself, "It was contagious!"
Remembering my morning, I whispered, "That's all Chas would say the whole morning! This sucks! That sucks! Fuck my life! You just reminded me of her," I smiled.
As Olive opened her mouth, the bell rang. "Lets go?"
I nodded, "Yeah. So how was your vacation?"
*Six Hours Later*
"Oh my fucking God! Worst day ever!" Chasity complained, while she waited for her mother to pick her up.
"It wasn't that bad, well at least not for me." I grinned, tying on my pointe shoes for ballet.
Chasity sighed, "The guys didn't come and that someone, who shall not be mentioned, didn't even spare us a glance! Her was with," she made a face, "Claire."
I didn't say anything and concentrated on loosening up my shoes. I really need to wash these. They are so dirty from all the ballet I do. It was really cold, too. I told my dad to bring me my trench coat. Thank goodness he did or I'd feel as cold as Chasity's goosebumps.
All of a sudden, Chasity burst out laughing, "Remember when you tried to teach me ballet?"
Laughing also, I replied, "Yeah and we ended up fighting because you broke your toe and pinky-toe? I still feel bad for that, by the way!"
"Yes!" she giggled, "I'm sorry for busting your lip open!"
Huffing at her, I pouted, "Yeah, you should be! The next day was Picture Day! I had a swollen lip and had to put on a bunch of makeup to make it look normal!"
"I'm sorry! Jacob got so mad that day, Embry did, too." she sighed. Her mom honked her car, she was talking on her phone. Chasity gave me that I-Knew-She'd-Be-On-Her-Phone look.
"I'm sorry," I said softly as she grabbed her things.
All she said was, "I'll text you later." Then she scurried towards her mom, both of her hands in tight fists.
Sometimes, I felt sorry for my friend. Her parents are still together and usually spend their time with each other, not their daughter. Her parents are the owners of a bridal shop in Seattle and are hardly ever home.
My mom says that her parents were really young when they had her and weren't really prepared for a kid. That's true. Chasity's parents are both in their late twenties or early thirties.
A warm hand touched my shoulder and I spun around quickly, a scream rising in my throat. Once I saw who it was, I laughed.
"What are you doing here?" I asked, blushing heavily.
He laughed, "Well, I'm here to watch you practice. I haven't seen you dance in a long time, Natalie."
I clutched my trench coat tighter, not wanting him to see my sleeveless, black leotard. My tights were a pale-pastel ping and my shoes looked so dirty. Oh my gosh! I feel so embarrassed.
"Uhm, so okay t-then," I stuttered, "Lets go to the bus stop."
We talked for a few minutes until my bus came to take me to Port Angeles. He had his arm around my shoulders the whole time, I didn't mind. I just hoped a certain someone didn't find out. I doubt he'd get mad, we haven't talked in forever.
My newest teacher, Miss Jasmines, kept staring at him. That really annoyed me, but I didn't voice out my concerns, she'd probably ignore them.
"Hello, I'm Helen. Would you mind grabbing Natalie's waist when she jumps? It'll make it appear as if your helping her," she smiled, batting her eyelashes at him.
He didn't seem at all phased by her flirting and smoothly replied, "It'd be my pleasure."
Oh man. His voice is so deep. It's making my heart flutter.
I did my practice drills and finally, when I made my jump, just as he was told, he lifted me up higher and I was about to throw up.
When I dressed in my casual clothes, he asked, "Do you wanna get something to eat?"
"Yeah, sure. What place do you have in mind?" In truth, I wanted to scream out 'YES! I'M STARVING! FOOD HASN'T BEEN IN MY PRESENCE SINCE BREAKFAST!'.
He took me to a small diner and we both ordered the same thing, I ordered a cheeseburger and fries in a small plate. . . His was an extra large.
"So your pretty hungry," I commented, laughing a little.
He smiled at me, "Yeah, it feels like I haven't eaten all day. My dad doesn't feed me anymore," he pouted.
I kicked his leg under the table, "Cook your own food! It's not that hard, you know! Well. . . Unless your me and you burn hot pockets by accident," I said sheepishly.
"Your so mean," He whined playfully. "Wait, hot pockets?"
Nodding, I replied, "Long story. I'm sure my brothers have told you already, though."
We stayed for at least two hours in that diner and he drove me home. He actually opened the door for me and said, "If you ever need anything, you know you can always count on me, Natalie."
My heart was pounding like crazy and everything felt so hot, "I know. I know, but you should know that the same applies to you, too." I winked and opened the front door.
Before I could restrain myself, I hugged his tall frame. "Thanks for going with me to practice. . . And for buying me food."
"Anything you want, Nata-Bee." He looked as if he was about to say more, but suddenly looked disappointed, "I gotta go. Goodnight, Natalie."
He turned abruptly and I, so softly I'm not even sure he heard, said solemnly, "Bye. . . Jacob."
Ooooh! So did you guys think it would be Jacob?;D Be honest please! Lmfao, so guess what! SPRING BREAK starts for me the day after tomorrow:D I'm so happy.
Too bad I keep coughing. . . I think I might have Whooping Cough -.-
