(A/N: I'm a little bored with this study hall scene so I skipped it to when it was the end of the school)
Iris' pov:
I wonder what the girls and Ken are talking about. Hm, oh well. I walked out of the classroom with Rosalya and Violette until I saw Jenni and her friends walk towards the door that lead to the front entrance.
"Hey Jenni! Do you, your sister, and your friends want to stay after school today?", I called out to her.
She turned around and said, "Yeah oka-", but her mouth was covered by her sister's hand.
"I'm sorry Iris, but the four of us needed to unpack all of our stuff into our apartment. Ken would've stayed after too but he needs to return to his house immediately. Again, sorry. Maybe next time", Meg said as she took her hand off of Jenni's mouth and proceeded to walk out.
"Awww! Well okay. Bye girls!", I said as I waved goodbye to them.
"See you tomorrow, Iris!", Jenni yelled.
Megan's pov:
"Hey Megan, how come we can't stay after school?", Jenni asked.
"Isn't obvious, Jenni? Meg is just trying to not let out any hints about our secret. Like, if we for some dumb reason ran in the halls, chances are, our wigs will show off a little bit of our actual hair. Then people will start asking questions about what's going on", Nat explained.
"Exactly what I was about to say", I said.
"How unpredictable can Nat be? Usually, Nat would be the one that acts before she thinks. Now, she's becoming something she's not, a genius", Liz responded.
"Hey! What the hell is that suppose to mean?!"
"It means that you're maturing from your childish state."
"Shut the fuck up!", Nat yelled as she ran to hit Liz. Even when she tried, Liz still dodge her attacks. They kept this going until we made it to our apartment. This really irritated me and Jenni so we grabbed both Nat's arms and pulled her back until she became tired.
"Nat, are you going to behave?"
. . .
"Nat?"
. . .
" 'sigh' yes", she muttered. Then we let go as she laid out on the floor of our room.
"Hey Meg, can I talk to you for a sec?", Jenni asked.
"Yeah sure." She pulled my arm towards the living room as Liz carried her sister towards the bedroom.
"Okay. Talk."
" 'sigh' weeeeeeelllllllllllll... There's... this guy I know and...and...he looks like a golden god from golden heaven! He has the sweetest smile and luscious locks that I'm dying to touch! And he is soooooo smart! 'fangirl scream' He makes me turn inside out just by talking to him!" If this were some kind of anime show, then Jenni would have hearts for eyes.
"Hm, so let me guess. You're crushing on Nathaniel."
" 'gasp' How'd you know?!"
"What you said was really obvious. 'A golden god from golden heaven'? The only golden guy I know is the president."
She blushed. "Oh he he, right. Anyway, I can't stop thinking about him. It's like Romeo & Juliet. The greatest love-at-first-sight romance in the world!"
"So you and Nathaniel are gonna die at the end? Or at least until the end of this school year?"
"Oh no no no no no no no no! Of course not!"
"Okay okay, I'm just joking. So what do you want me to do about it?"
"You're my big sister! You should give me some advice! You know! Something that'll get me my knight in shining gold armor!" There are now auditions for a new sister. Please sign up.
"You've got to be kidding me." Then Jenni gave me those annoying puppy eyes. "Ugh fine. But first of all, I didn't have a boyfriend in the past so my advice is choppy and not revised." I stopped to take a deep breath and closed my eyes. " 'sigh' Just be yourself. Don't get all clammy and don't get nervous. Try to be serious and strike up a conversation with him, and don't let the subject be about anything relating to the future, like marriage, or else you'll creep him out. And make sure to know about him so you'll get a better understanding about him. Soon you'll buddy up to him until he might get the idea that you want to hook up. But please, try to take things slow with him or else he'll think you're crazy. 'sigh' Is that clear enough for ya?" When I finished, I opened my eyes to see her with so many notes.
" 'try to take things slow with him or else he'll think you're crazy'. Got it!" She finished writing and looked up at me. "Thanks sis!", she yelled as she hugged me tight and ran towards the bedroom. I smiled.
'That girl's got it crazy with that blondie', I thought as I went towards the fridge for a snack.
Nathaniel's pov:
I walked out of the classroom before anyone else so I could get home early. I was lucky that the principal let me go so I don't have to work with all the papers stacked in the student council room. However, I still have to organize them tomorrow. I was only a few blocks away from my house but I let my thoughts distract me for what might happen at home.
That girl, Jennivit. She seems pretty nice. She always looks cheery and joyful, and when I encountered her today, she looked uneasy. I have to say that the look on her face made her look cute. Not like she wasn't before. What I mean is, Jennivit is really attractive.
Before I knew it, I was home. "Mother! Father! I'm home!"
"Oh god, it's you. I thought that that was my darling daughter but it turns out to be her bully", Mother said disapprovingly.
"If only my princess didn't have to suffer in the past because of you, I wouldn't have to deal with you", said Father.
"Well... I guess I could say that... your princess is almost on her way here. I'll just be in my room if any of you need me", I said as I was walking towards the stairs.
"Like we need you, you monster!" Why can't Mother and Father like me? It's not like I treat Amber the way I did when we were little. Why can't they see past that?
"Mommy, Daddy! I'm home!", Amber yelled.
"Oh Amber, darling! I missed you so much!"
"How's my sweet princess?"
"Good and awful! Some stpid girls tried to harass me at school! I did nothing but welcomed them with open arms and yet they treat me like I'm below them!", Amber cried.
"That's just terrible!"
"The nerve of these high schoolers! Amber, don't worry. Your so called brother will take of it."
"But fath-"
"No buts Nathaniel! Now go back in your room or else you'll have another 'accident'", Father threatened.
"Yes sir", I reponded as I returned to my room.
'At least in my room, I'm safe. For now...', I thought as I fell asleep without dinner.
THE NEXT DAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYY!
At school
I was walking down the halls towards the student council room when...
"Nathaniel! Hey Nathaniel!" Jenni yelled out my name as she ran towards me.
"Oh, good morning Jennivit."
"Oh, uh good morning to you too. You can just call me Jenni by the way", she said.
"Um okay, Jenni."
"So um, I was just, uh, wondering if you would like to maybe hangout and uh chat sometime in lunch?"
"Um..."
"Or maybe right now?"
"Hm, anytime would be fine. Right now's exceptional."
"Yay! Let's go!", she yelled as she pulled me towards the bench in the courtyard.
My assumptions are correct; Jenni is a sweet and charming girl as I expected from her bubbly personality. Jenni told me enough information about her life that made me trust her. In exchange, I onliy told her minimal knowledge about me and my family. She was disappointed that I couldn't tell her more but she was understanding because it was private.
'RIIIIIIINNNNNNG!'
"Well Jenni, I guess it's time for class."
"Yep, sure is. Oh by the way, what class do you have?"
"Well right now I have science."
" 'gasp' Me too! Wait a minute, if you have science, then how come I didn't see you in class yesterday?"
"It's because I've been busy with filing the paperwork for you and your friends."
"Oh I'm so sorry for having you to miss class, Nathaniel! Listen, if you ever need help, then call me. I really don't want you to miss attendance because of me." Wow, she's so sincere.
"Thanks for offering Jenni, but it's no big deal; I can handle it."
"Please, Nathaniel, I insist! I wish to help you so you won't have to handle anything in the future."
"Well then you can come by the council room anytime. So, do you want to walk with me to class?"
"Yes! Uh, I mean, sure."
