Mia

We got to the lake in no time. The dock was pretty quiet without all the others here. The summer was different. The lake had been overcrowded with teens.

The nonstop music and rowdy teens filled my memories. It was pretty awesome, but, if I had to choose, I rather have today.

Nate and Jordan wasted no time. They take off their shirts and kick off their shoes, running toward the water lit by the full moon. They take their pants off, and dive right into the water, making Kenzie and I chuckle.

"Woooohhhh....Come on, let's go join them!" Kenzie says, grabbing my arm. "What? No... I- I don't have any clothes." I say, stopping in my tracks. "Oh, come on, Mia! Live a little. Who cares, none of us have extra clothes. Come on, it'll be fun." she says, looking at me with a smile.

She is probably right. I may have a sassy mouth, and I'm very blunt to talk back, but somehow... I felt a bit timid when it came to opening up to this kind of thing. "Come on in girls. The water is still warm."

    Third Person POV"I will see you tomorrow morning," Nate whispers in Mia's mouth as he kisses her softly. "Definitely," she replies, kissing his lips. They sat quietly in his car after they had dropped Kenzie and Jordan off at their homes.Mia had stubbornly gotten a job at the small restaurant in Mr. Patterson's vineyard. So, Nate took advantage and got a part-time job with her as well. Tomorrow was the beginning of her first shift, and Nate had made sure to be scheduled every hour with her.He had no need for a job, but the fact he was able to spend more time with Mia seemed reason enough for him to ask his grandpa for a job. Her hair was still soaking wet as she got off the car, but not one ounce of her cared. This had been a good night after all, and she owed it all to Nate. She smiles, kissing his lips one last time as she soothingly cups his cheek."I love you, Mia," he whispers in her lips, making her lips curl into a big smile. "I love you too. Good night," she says, and then

    MiaI was ready to fall asleep after taking a nice shower. For being the beginning of fall already, the weather was still incredibly hot. I turned on the fan, drying my hair with my bath towel as I made my way to the bed. Bailey was not home. I figured she was with that no-good Liam. God, I have a bad feeling about this guy. I can't help it, I can't shake off the feeling he's going to hurt her. I looked at my phone and saw Nate had answered my good night text. He texted good night and that he loved me too. Tonight, I was close to giving in when we kissed in that water. My god, he knows how to turn me on. I smiled reading his text and then flopped on the bed, ready to text him again when I hear a small tap in the window. "What the hell!" I whispered, getting off the bed. I was startled, but soon a huge smile came to my face as I see Nate lifting the window ever so slowly and climbing inside. "Nate! What are you doing here?" I whispered, hoping no one would notice him. "I had to see

    Mia"I'm fine." Jordan looked away, sighing. He was obviously not ok. But, for the sake of class, I didn't push any further. I had enough of not having Nate no longer being in this class as it is. The class felt like it was dragging on for forever, since two weeks ago they suddenly switched him to a different class. He's super smart, and they had placed him in an advanced chemistry class from this one at a university level. It threw me off that Dalia was not picking on me this time. "OK, we have about ten minutes left for class, let's go ahead and put our things away. Jordan, would you be so kind as to pass these forms out to everyone?" Dalia asks, holding out a stack of papers to him. He smiles apologetically, and stands up, grabbing the papers off her hand and begins passing them out. "Now, as I mentioned, I'm not sure when your teacher will be back, but he has instructed that these forms should be turned in by the end of the week. If you need any help studying for the test, plea

    NateI followed Jordan to his car, pulling him by his arm right before he pressed the button on his remote to unlock it. "Jordan, wait. Come on man. What's going on with you? You've been ignoring everyone's phone calls since the day we had dinner with our families. What's going on?" I ask, making him turn irritated. "Nate, I mean it. Just drop it okay?" he says, holding his hand out."You really don't want to talk about it, fine. I'm not going to pressure you, man. But- we have a big game coming up, and you know it. You miss a single practice and the coach will not let you play. You know that." I say, trying my best to keep him from leaving."I don't care! Alright?" he says, holding his hands out, making me worried."See? There you go! Something is wrong... something big, and you don't want to tell me. I thought we were best friends man. I guess I was wrong!" I say, sounding a bit hurt. Truth is, I was just concerned. He's not the kind to bottle things up. Jordan is like an open boo

    MiaI sat at my desk for the next class and waited for the bell to ring. To make time more enjoyable, I decided to take out the book I was currently reading and read where I had left off. "Hey, beautiful." I hear Nate say as he leans down behind me, kissing my cheek. "Hi," I said, blushingly as I looked up at him. "How is Jordan doing? Is he ok? Did you get to talk to him?" "He's fine. He just... you know, his parents had a little argument after the dinner Friday night. He's just, a little uh," "It's fine. I get it, don't worry." I say, looking at him with a smile. "OK, class. Please take out your books, and open them to chapter fifteen," the teacher announced, making Nate take a seat next to me as the class began. The whole class and for the rest of the day if I could be honest, Nate acted a little weird. He stared at me to the point the teacher asked him to stay focused. I mean, he stared at me all the time, smiling at me with those big puppy greens, but, it was odd today. It wa

    MiaI cleared my throat, feeling completely baffled by Asher's words. "He's such a weirdo. A hot weirdo, but a weirdo, nonetheless. Isn't he?" Kaitlyn says, making me jump in place as she stands behind me."What the heck, Kate! You scared the hibbies-jibbies out of me." I said, placing my hand over my heart and making her laugh."Hibbie-jibbies? What are we five?" she says, laughing. "Hey, guys!" Kenzie adds as she joins us, sitting next to me on the bench. "What are we talking about, huh?" She asks, placing her book bag down and smiling. "Asher Slate. Bay's new Prince charming." Kate says, making me roll my eyes."Oh... Asher. He's hot, so much better than Liam if you ask me." Kenzie adds, making me chuckle. "Yeah, he really is," I admitted, sighing. He and I haven't really exchanged many words, but he seems like the nicest guy ever. But if he can make Bailey forget about dumb Liam, I am all for it. Whatever he meant by 'rejecting me' I'm sure he said it for a reason, I won't dig

    Mia"That...was intense!" I said as I sat in Nate's car, making him chuckle. Jordan was knocked out in the back seat as we drove home. Nate chuckled, winking at me as he held my hand. "It was. Who knew Grandpa's bistro was so busy!" he adds, making me chuckle."Yeah, no kidding. It's pretty busy for being in the middle of a small town." I said as he nodded. The place was close to the Marine barracks, and since it was now close to October, the preparations for our annual town fair were happening, which meant that the town was going to start swarming with tourists and soldiers from the Marine barracks coming by more often.And- if you're wondering why Jordan keeps riding with Nate all the time, it's because every time Amanda gets mad at him, she takes his car keys away. It's pretty sad, but she's just like that. She's toxic, even if they tell me otherwise. I can see through her. She acts so sweet in front of people, but I've seen the way she treats Jordan. It's as if she didn't want hi

    MiaThe bell to the next class would soon ring but Nate was adamant to hold me as he buried his head in the curve of my neck, making me chuckle. "You know you're going to be late for the next class. Coach Mitchell is not going to be happy if you're late," he grunts, making me chuckle. Their practice started after school years ago, but in recent years, they changed it by making all the sports start practice during their last class of the day. This way, they didn't go home so late. I think it was best this way, since soon it was going to start getting darker soon, and Kate sometimes stayed later at the library. This town is really safe, everyone knows each other, but you never know with so many tourists coming into town now and then."Hey, would you mind going with me after school to the library?" I asked Nate, as I ran my fingers through his hair, making him sigh."Of course. What for, if you don't mind me asking?" he asks smiling, showing me his dimples as he slowly pulls away. "I w

    Mia's POV"Sophie, I just wanted to thank you and Logan. The outcome of tonight's event was better than I expected. The profits your firm is donating to the school will be more than enough to fund all the projects we have in store for the rest of the school year. Again... Logan, none of this would have been possible without you and Sophie. Thank you so much." Our principal, Mrs. McGee, smiles at Nate's parents as she sees the gala results. She was so happy with the numbers she saw in front of her. Nate's dad was a very smart man, and he calculated equal parts to donate to schools around our neighborhood and other places that had begged for help from banks but had been turned down. I sometimes think he's an angel. Nate's family is exceedingly wealthy, but they have remained humble and don't hesitate to help those in need, even if it's out of their pocket or volunteering countless hours. "Vanessa, it's no trouble at all. I'm glad tonight was a success." Sophie says, hugging our princ

  • Loving Your Imperfections   Secrets

    Mia's POVTo say I was perplexed is an understatement. How could Andrea do something like this? I mean, we were friends not even a year ago, for fucks sake. But now, she doesn't just only bother me, but she sends her friends to sabotage me, and now- she even dares to steal my mom's necklace? How can she do this to me? If it hadn't been for Nate and Axel, who got the necklace back to me, I would have lost it forever. I would have been devastated if I had lost it. It's the last thing I have of her besides my pictures. I sigh as the auction continues and see my sculpture finally being brought to the stage. Sophie's eyes light up, and she wiggles in her seat as she looks at it. "Baby, it's this one. This is the one I was telling you about! Isn't it beautiful?" she tells Logan, making him look up from his phone. He had been looking at his phone and reviewing his stocks during the auction. Not much caught his eye, so he stopped looking at the items being sold. "Wow, Mia... you did thi

    Mia's POVThe bidding began, and so many items were shown; I was mesmerized by how many people had shown up. We not only had the wealthiest folks from our town but also from visiting towns, and I was astonished to see that visitors as far as California came to the bidding.As usual, Asher's parents auctioned a complete vacation package to one of their hotels for a week, and everything was paid for. We had three packets in total: one from Asher's parents, one from his uncle, Blake Landon, to one of his hotels in the Maldives, and the third from a younger guy named Axel Vasquez. Everyone said he looked scary and was really serious, but he was actually really nice. He was good friends with Nate's dad, Logan, and sat beside Nate. He talked with Nate the whole time we sat before the bidding began.When the auction brought a dress made by the new fashion tycoon, Mila Tanner, he went crazy bidding on it. Unfortunately for him, Andrea also had her eyes on the dress, irritating him. The dres

  • Loving Your Imperfections   The Gala

    Mia This week went by quickly. I've been thinking hard about what to paint and have come up with nothing. I have drawn out nearly a dozen ideas, but nothing is concrete. On the bright side, I decided to take up Mrs. Mitchell's request and donated my art piece. Nate also donated an art piece, but Rainey decided not to donate. One, because the art piece the teacher wanted was already sold, and two, because most of her pieces were still back in California. Plus, her mom had already donated a great piece for the gala, which also works in her name.Unlike my genre of art, which I mainly paint in fauvism but love pop art and rococo, Nate is more of a still life and expressionist portrait painter. I can't wait to see what piece he donated. As for Rainey, she has the ability to do everything. She is good at painting scenes and portraits, but what I love is that her style has the whole Frida Kahlo vibe to it. She mixes her styles between surrealism and cubism, self-portraits with modern art

    Mia's POVI tried my hardest to pay attention to class the rest of the day, but Andrea's words still lingered in my mind. I know she's just trying to get under my skin, but I can't feel insecure about her words. Do I doubt Nate? No, absolutely not. He's shown me how caring he is, and I've had multiple people tell me how different he is with me. I've had folks say he looks happier and perkier than before, so no... I don't doubt him. But I have been so preoccupied with my future that I have not paid as much attention to him and our relationship as I should have. He deserves so much more of me than what we have already shared.I won't hold him accountable for his past. I know he's had a few one-night stands with girls in school, and Andrea isn't lying—he's always gone back to her. He's even dated Kenzie, but even she has said she likes him more than me.Yet- I'm still threatened by Andrea. She knows how to manipulate Nate. I love him, and being with him has made me the happiest I've be

  • Loving Your Imperfections   Low-Class Misconceptions

    MiaI couldn't help but look at my paper as I sat in science class. I have been so busy filling out applications that I completely forgot to study for our exam. I swear, I'm sweating bullets right now. What am I going to do if I fail this exam? How will I get into university with low test scores? “Now remember, the exam is 25% of your grade this quarter, so make sure you do your best. No talking during the exam, and if you have any questions, please raise your hand and wait for me to call you to my desk in silence. You have the remainder of the class to finish your exam. You may begin… now!” 0yr teacher says as she looks at her watch and begins the timer. I sigh, opening my exam and closing my eyes, grunting inwardly. I seriously hope it's not too hard, or I'm going to faint right here, on the spot. Jordan looks at me and smiles, winking his left eye. “You got this, Mia,” he whispers, making me smile. Maybe I'm overthinking, right? How hard can it be? It's only… 25% of my grade.

    MiaIt was as if a destructive chain reaction had been set off against me. The entire night, I had to deal with Jade's angry stares being thrown my way. It got so bad she had two of the other girls trying to sabotage my day, murmuring amongst themselves, purposely bumping into me, and almost making me spill my drinks on a customer. They messed with my orders, writing, adding or deleting things from my tickets, and making customers become irritated with me. Most of the customers were locals, so they didn't go completely off on me, except for a group of men acting rowdy and calling me an incompetent brat. By the end of my break, I just wanted to roll into a ball and act like I wasn't even here anymore. I sighed as I sat at the lockers and closed my eyes. Today's event played over and over in my head. Jade was not shy from throwing daggers my way all late afternoon and into the early hours of the evening, making me feel so stupid... so incompetent. What started as a good day soon beca

    Mia (days later)I will not go into many details about what happened that night between Nate and me, but let me tell you, it was incredible. I don't think I have ever experienced anything this good, and I definitely will not be able to forget it. I can't stop thinking about him. Nate was such a gentleman with me, so careful, and my god! He's so good in bed, and I mean so damn good. It's left me with an insatiable desire for him. I have not gotten my hands off of Nate since that night. And yes, I'm still getting used to this new level in our relationship, but I think I just became addicted to him. My parents just informed us that our house is finally done. Two days ago, we started moving into our home, and I finally had a room to myself. Of course, Nate was first in line when it came to helping us move our stuff back. He didn't hesitate to jump in and get busy. Before we knew it, Jordan, Nate, and a bunch of their football buddies had jumped in and helped us move into our house alon

    Mia Nate and I were in bed watching a movie. He held me tight as we snuggled in a spooning position, making me smile as he placed soft kisses on my hair, holding me by my hips. Everyone else had already gone to sleep, making his house go silent; except for the novice in his room of course, as we played the movie in a very low volume.The night had gotten particularly cooler tonight, making me get cold. "God, it's so cold. My feet are freezing." I say as I press my feet against his, making him chuckle. "Well, it's a good thing I'm here. You can use my body to keep warm all night long if you want, baby," he says, teasingly, making me chuckle as he sucks on my neck and causing my stomach to flutter. I shivered as I felt his warm hands trail slowly under my shirt. He slowly caressed my skin, from my navel to my ribs, stopping right by my bra line.I couldn't help but bite my bottom lip as I hoped he'd go a little more.I turn my body to face him, interlacing my legs with his wrapping my
