Chapter 3
A month later Amanda It's not very easy watching the person you love playing boyfriend to your best friend and your best friend rubbing it in your face every chance she gets, Sabrina talks about Nathan all the time and it's annoying now. I've not gotten used to them dating and dating infront of me, also Nathan has gone from super touchy with me to straight up avoiding me and I think it's better that way, to think he did all of those things on my birthday knowing very well that he's dating Sabrina says a lot about him and his character Waking up today was a real struggle but I had to because it's writing season, and today we're writing Maths... I sighed looking at the time and I looked at myself in the mirror satisfied with my look I walked downstairs to find Dad and Mom already eating Mom:"Nathan is outside waiting for you" I frown Me:"Waiting for me? Why?" She sighed and shrugged her shoulders Mom:"I don't know, said something about taking you to school" no wonder Dad is calm, he knows someone is here to get me Me:"Okay, Good morning Dad" I kiss his cheek taking an apple and Banana in my way out Dad:"Have a blast !!!" He shouts behind me and I giggled walking out and immediately stop as I see Nathan's car, I shook my head and went over to his car I opened the back seat Me:"Good morning" I am already wondering what's happening because Sabrina is not here and I don't feel very comfortable with us two in the car and also this is the 1st time he picked me up without Sabrina... If he does pick me up, it's always with Sabrina but most times, Dad drives me school Nathan:"Come on the passenger side" Me:"I do not feel comfortable with that" true, that's Sabrina's place, he pinches the breech of his nose closing his eyes and groaned a bit Nathan:"Amanda" he calls out my name and my heart skips a beat as I feel my stomach drops and a bunch of butterflies play in it Me:"Okay" I whisper just enough for him to hear and I go seat in the front and he starts the car and drives off, I put my bag in my thighs and my hands on top of it and I close My eyes for a second and open them Nathan:"Are you okay?" I release a small nervous chuckle Me:"Yes" I opt to say because if I start talking I will ramble non stop Nathan:"how are the exams going?" he steals a look at me and I sigh Me:"Not bad" I shrugged feeling Myself calming down, he released a sigh also as he turned a corner and entered the school gate Nathan:"Sabrina and I had a fight" he says Me:"Oh?" I don't know what to say really, does he need to tell me that? Nathan:"It was about you" I turned to look at him with my brows furrowed, me? Me:"Me?" He parks the car in the student parking lot Nathan:"Yes" then he kept quiet, I figured he won't tell me more than that Me:"well thanks for the ride " I say and get out still thinking about what he just told me.... I sighed and began walking to my class refusing to be distracted before the test _ Sabrina ignored me for the whole day today, when I tried to talk to her, she just walked away with some girls... Means girls to be exact and I just shook my head Her and Nathan had a fight about me so I guess she's blaming me somehow? Anyway I am by the gate waiting for my mom when I hear my name being called behind me, I turn and it's Leonardo Me:"Hey" Leonardo:" Amanda, how are you?" Me:"I'm okay thank you " I smiled at him and be smiles back, Leonardo is one of the popular kids but he is humble I guess? Reason I'm saying that is because he doesn't use popularity in a bad way and he is actually a very nice person and I know he wants me, I might just give him a chance Leonardo:"Sooo Uhm school's ending in like a month" I nod thinking about my life decisions of going abroad Me:"Yeah" I say absentmindedly Leonardo:"So Uhm I was thinking, actually wondering if you would go on a date with me after the tests?" He asks me and I look up at him and smiled a little, it won't hurt experimenting right? I mean the one guy I wanted doesn't want me and is actually dating my friend and I've waited for him my whole life so I think it's best I just try out new things and see where that lands me Me:"Okay" I smiled a wide toothy grin and he smiled back at me Leonardo:"Thank you so much, you won't regret it" he says and hugs me taking me by surprise but I hug him back before he kisses my cheek and turns to run leaving me red as a tomato from blushing, he smells nice.... This doesn't sound right I scold myself before hearing that voice taking me back to reality once more "Amanda what are you doing with that boy" Gosh!!!Chapter 5Nathan Oh hell no, not Leonardo!!!As soon as I spoke she turned stiff as rigid and turned to me with a forced smile and a nervous laughAmanda:"Nathan, I didn't see you there" she says still feigning that fake smileMe:"Let me take you home" she stops smiling and clears her throat, I know an excuse is about to come upAmanda:"Actually my Dad-" I cut her offMe:"Come on, Amanda get in the car" she sighs and we both walk to the car in total silenceMe:"Did you see Sabrina today?" I ask, a dumb question that is she shakes her headAmanda:"I saw her walking with Britney and her minions" she says sounding irritatedMe:"Britney? When did that happen?"Amanda:"Beats me" she shrugs and I unlock the car letting her take the front seat and I get in the driver's seat and as soon as I bring the car to life I see Sabrina in a distance hugging Britney as they smiled to each other before she turned and walked towards the parking lot, when did this happen? When did Sabrina became friends
Chapter 6AmandaI cannot believe that was once my friend, I wipe my tears once more and I sighed as the car drove off to homeDad:"Please princess, don't cry" he saysMe:"I just don't understand it Dad, I mean I thought we were friends" I do not even believe what's coming out of my mouth right nowDad:"She's not your friend Baby,never was and I'm afraid she's never stepping foot in my house again" he grips the steering wheel and I sniff wiping my tears for the 100th time I just don't understand, someone make it make sense because I've been racking my mind trying to find out what I did but I find nothing _Getting home Dad opens the door for me and we walk inside the house finding mom already starting with DinnerMom:"Hey-" she stops mid sentence and frownsMom:"Hey.... What happened?" And I just start all over again and I cry, harder this time and she pulls me to her lap and she hugs me as I ball my eyes outAbout 5 minutes later there's a knock at the doorDad:"Let me check who is
Introduction Amanda I stirr as I feel eyes on me, my eyes shot open and I jump on my bed looking everywhere in the room only to find Nathan and Sabrina with a cake on their hands and they start singing me happy birthday My cheeks burn as they come closer to me. Sabrina puts the cake on the bedside table and they give me a group hug Sabrina:"Happy Birthday sweet cheeks" I beam in excitement Nathan:"Happy Birthday Amanda" he says in a whisper in my ear sending a jolt of excitement through my body Good Lord!! After that long hug Sabrina speaks Sabrina:"Please get ready, we have a lot to do today" they exit the room and I sigh as I look up the sealing Me:"Thank you for another year" I thank the Lord almighty and I get out of bed making it up in the process and I walk to the bathroom and I brush my teeth looking at myself in the mirror, I am finally turning 20 today and I'm still pure, Nathan hasn't approached me yet and I am frustrated... I mean it's been years sending him sig
