32. Ask Norris- Jacob -.After getting home, I lay in my bed and hugged Coco for a long time. I didn’t see Natalie much at school today. It was for the best, but it made me feel miserable. She came in late and left early from the classes we had together. Didn’t notice her anywhere in the cafeteria either. I get it they don’t get along. But was it necessary to shut me out without a word? I probably read it too much when we visited my old place. It meant nothing. That day and our last few interactions were nothing.My phone goes off after some time. I realize I had fallen asleep and Coco was long gone.West calling…“Where are you? I texted you an hour ago.” I rub my eyes and his voice breaks my drowsiness.“What happened?”“Could you bring something to eat? I will bring drinks. Turns out it’s a surprise party… So we gotta arrange everything.”“Oh… Will his parents allow us at his place?”“They ain’t home. I know that for sure.”“You better be... I will see what I can do. How many peo
33. Dread- Jacob -.I have been dreading this day for the past week, but it’s finally here. Coco is cooped up against me in bed. She never came into my bed when I was asleep. But now, here she is… as if she can tell I am upset.This entire week was wretched. David & Sam apologized for their behavior at the party. But things are sour in the team. To be honest, I wasn’t expecting their apology. It looked half-assed, anyway. Probably, coach or West forced them to apologize.I am thankful to June for taking on David that night. Me raising hands on them first wouldn’t have ended in a good way for any of us. With the evaluation match coming up close, we cannot afford an injury. Consequently, team spirit is low right now. But I couldn’t ignore what happened. They will get around. If they don’t, it’s their loss.Although I am glad that the argument didn’t end up in some new rumor. I have seen stories stir up for no reason at old school, so I was a little concerned. But West told me he had w
Rude....After being blown off rudely by him. I stay quiet for a while. I know beggars don’t get to choose, but he should at least acknowledge my apology.“Do you want me to stay quiet the whole ride or I can talk?” I ask him in annoyance, when I cannot hold my tongue anymore.He chuckles dryly. “I guess you can talk. But keep in mind I am not feeling great. So avoid justifying why you ignored me last week.“Ok… this ride will be awkward.“I… I am… just sorry, you know,” I mumble. I want to justify myself, but there is no point. With the excuse of taking control of my life, I stopped talking to him. Ironically, it means I let West and his facade influence my decision. I can be fucking stupid sometimes.I shouldn’t have avoided him in the first place. Even if I did, I should have given him a reason. Ignoring him with no explanation was a wrong thing to do. No one deserves that.“So, how far is this place?”“Approx Three hour drive…”Why didn’t they come to pick her up?As if he reads
36. Ella- Jacob -Natalie cannot sleep, because Coco keeps licking her ears. It’s hilarious. She books a bus ticket for the afternoon. I tell her about my plan for a short hike and camp tonight.“Alone?”“Yeah.. Why?”“Is it safe?”“If you are experienced and have informed someone… It’s safe enough and it’s a famous site. So it’s relatively safer.”She makes a face. I happened to notice it in the rearview mirror.I chuckle," What?"“Do you know there are 4000 serial killers on the loose in USA? What if-““Please tell me you made that up?”“Nooo... Research data suggests.” She scowls.“And I suggest you stop overthinking.”She pouts. “but the threat is still there”I shake my head ruefully. “I love your overthinking, pessimistic attitude, Natalie!”She pouts again and I laugh harder.“We are only five minutes away,” I tell her after a while and she stretches her arms, then starts fixing her hair.God! She is cute.I shake my head… I need to stop looking at her now and then while drivi
37. Bath… together?- Natalie -.My mind blanks out again. Why do I lose my to ability think around this boy so fucking often?“If they didn’t want us to take a bath… ‘He said an innocent line. And what did my perverted mind register?‘Want us to take a bath…’‘together’ is the word, my filthy mind added there.Fuck!! I need some action, with immediate effect. I should meet Ira tonight. Probably tag along to some party. Pick up some boy who will fuck my brains out. So I would stop imagining the unladylike things involving my hot neighbor.That’s the only way.Then I take a bath.A cold one…I feel much better, less slimy, and minimally horny afterwards. Wish I had an extra pair of clothes, but that’s alright. I come out and see Jacob asleep on the edge of the bed.Isn’t he afraid to fall down?Delicate equilibrium though.I sit on the other side of bed, he turns to face me while laying. He isn’t asleep after all.“Nice bath?” He asks with his eyes still closed.“Yup!” Don’t ask fo
39. Cock Block - Natalie - . Me: You home? Ira: I won’t answer you until you tell me if he is single or not. Me: He is. Are you at home or not? Ira: Then fuck him tonight. Break your celibacy. Have some mercy on yourself and some guys around you! Me: Are you fucking home or not? Ira: Oops… Yes I am... Why? Ira: You sending me pizza or something? Ira: Hello!!!! you there? Ira: I sincerely hope you are busy smooching that hot neighbor. If not, you better have a good excuse for not replying. I smirk and shake my head at her message. I don’t get it. Why is she so eager for me to ‘get back out’ there? When I got into a cab and gave the driver her house address. I was hoping to watch her surprised expression. Little did I know it was my turn to be surprised. I know her building code, so I go ahead and enter it, instead of hitting the buzzer and waiting. As I knock at her door and patiently wait for it to open. To my astonishment, it’s Not Ira, not her mom, nor any other family
40. Dirty Thoughts- Natalie -.I call mom and tell her I won’t be coming home. She asks for Ira and talks to her for a while. We lie around watching Netflix and eventually decide to get out of the house for the night.“Liam told me there is a big party nearby. Some rich dude is throwing. We could go-”“Duh! I have no clothes, Ira…”“You could wear mine.”I scoff. “Your knee length will look like a short dress on me.”She rolls her eyes.” I am not that short and you ain’t that tall. So quit whining,” she says and starts browsing her closet for dresses.“Should I invite Liam?” She asks me hesitantly.“Only if you promise not to make me feel like a third wheel.”Then we get ready and head for the party.It was stupid of me to believe her. The dress is too short and I am totally the third wheel. This girl is crazy about Liam and Liam is infatuated with her. I can see them happily ever after if they decide to take each other seriously.Soon they forget I am there. So I wander around the
41. Embarrassed- Jacob -.Oh God, I had to embarrass myself.I stare at my phone screen, looking at the disaster I created last night. Why did I chat with her last evening? Just a pic and a voice note was enough and perfect.I check my messages once again to make myself feel worse.Me: ‘Wow you look fablous. Where are u?’Me: ‘Fablus’Me: ‘Fabulous… sry im dunk’Such an idiot. Can’t even spell properly. Made a fool of myself last night. Then I see the image she sent me. She looked absolutely gorgeous. I couldn’t help but jerk myself off to her pic last night. It feels odd when I think about it now. I have never done this before, apart from that dream I had when I first met her. Not sure where that urge came from.I read more texts; I had sent her.Jacob: ‘You should hve stayed with me if you weren’t going hom’I wince, looking at more spelling mistakes. What’s ‘hve’ and ‘hom’, Jacob?It’s HAVE & HOME.Then I read further.Dull-Mean-Happening-Girl: ‘You had no spare tent Jacob.’Me:
