NOW I’m starting to get pissed by the fact that Nathan is still not going to school. I haven’t seen his face for a while but thankfully, Becca is here to fill in the emptiness that Nathan is causing to my system right now.
“You know what, I really love Physical Education. How about you, Natalia?” Becca randomly asked.
I sighed, remembering that we need to get our school uniforms for P.E. later on. I was traumatized by going in that same locker area because that is where bad things happened to me. But Becca assured me that she’s going to come with me later on to get her uniform as well to avoid anything that could happen to me because of Tyler’s never ending revenge.
“Come on, cheer up, girl. I love volleyball.”
“And I hate sports.”
“Don’t worry. That’s why I’m here. I’ll get the ball before it hits your face.”
We laughed in unison, th
AFTER a hundred billion years, Nathan finally decided to show up in school, making my heart jumped in excitement as well as happiness. I badly wanted to tell him everything that happened to me these past few days. And also, I wanted him to meet the new friends I found, Becca and Scott. Well, Becca often told me that we are friends now, so I guess it was official. And she often hang out with me as well so that’s it. Second, for Scott. He didn’t say anything that may lead me into this conclusion, but yeah, I think we are now friends right after he helped me from that “accident” that Tyler did the other day. “I missed you so much, Nat!” Nathan stated, pinching my cheeks tightly. “Stop it! It hurts, you idiot!” I got my revenge by doing the same thing to his cheeks. Now we are both walking down the hallway like we put on some blush on to our face right af
NATHAN said that he wouldn’t be friends with Becca and Scott, but I highly doubt about that right now. It’s been months since we started our little squad... And it’s going really well. The four of us are becoming closer and closer to each other, including Nathan. Well, it was written in the rule number eight of my manual that I should never listen to Nathan’s nonsense statements. I’m glad I followed that. “Can we just go out or something? It’s getting boring in here!” Becca complained. It’s weekend, and we are currently at Nathan’s room, letting the time passed by while doing apparently nothing. Scott and my bestfriend are playing a video game, while Becca and I are reading some magazines. “You know what, guys, Becca is right. We should get out...” I complained. Nathan and Scott didn’t say anything. In fact, the two of them are c
ANOTHER months passed by, and we just found ourselves having the last month of our freshmen year... Just a little bit closer and we will be finally sophomores. That was a good thing for us, I guess. For we will not be the lowest grade level here in Jackson High. We won’t be bullied that much anymore. Though, speaking of bully. Ever since Scott defended me to his cousin, Tyler never bug me ever again. It was like he’s my real knight and shining armor... He made the bullies stop... Even Freeda and her little squad. On the other hand, Becca is still acting so weird... And what I mean by that is she’s not talking to me that much and she wasn’t that loud anymore... Ever since that day in the amusement park, that is by the way, already a few months ago from now. “Hey, Becca... Are you alright?” I asked.  
WE got our second practice for today. The dance steps are getting harder and harder by the time, and I can’t help but to fall each and every time that Nathan and I are both practicing together with our classmates. I felt bothered, seeing Becca’s facial expression as we dance at the center of the wide court. “Ms. Carter! Watch your steps!” Out of shock because of our instructor’s sudden scream, my feet slipped and I lost my balance. The bad thing about it is that I took Nathan with me. And instead of me falling on the ground, it was Nathan who hit his back pretty bad at the cold cement. I landed at the top of him... And accidentally, I kissed him... On the lips. Our eyes were both widen by the fact that our lips just crashed to each other. I instantly sat up, wiping the kiss away from my lips. Nathan still looked shock, laying down the floor. Out of wo
SCHOOL festival. Our first here in Jackson High. A few moments from now, the program will start and Becca and I will finally do our plan. The thing that we are hoping to help her get close to someone... To Nathan, to be specific. “Gosh! I can’t wait to dance with him later!” Becca squealed, and I try to look happy for her. Though I really felt happy helping her, I can’t help myself but to be saddened by the fact that I’m not going to dance with Nathan anymore. I wouldn’t be participating, just like Becca during our practice days. “Are you okay?” she suddenly asked, making me come back to my senses to face her again... More like to lie again. “Hey... Y-yeah, I’m fine, Becca. I’m just... You know. I’m nervous. I don’t know what to say to Nathan later on...” I was half hoping that she will stop this nonsense and she will just let me dance with Nathan l
SUMMER. Now that our freshmen year is finally over, Nathan and I decided that we could finally enjoy our vacation just like any other students. I guess it’s just me and Nathan, for Becca and Scott have gone away to their own summer vacation trip. I can’t help but to think about what Scott told me about the last day of our school festival. He likes Becca, and he wanted me to help him get her. On the other hand, Becca likes my bestfriend, and she already asked my help for it too. I don’t know how to help two people with different desires. I guess it’s my problem though, not knowing who’s the one I’m going to help between the both of them. Speaking of school festival, it ended up with a blast for Becca because our plan succeeded, without Nathan even noticing it. I feel guilty and heartbroken for Scott, for I helped Becca get close to Nathan
SHOOT. I don’t know why I chose this outfit, but maybe because I was trying to impress Nathan as well. In fact, Mom bought this bikini specially just for this summer get away. I don’t want to waste her effort and money in buying this one but I also don’t want to let the people saw everything about my body. I have a great insecurities about that, just like any other normal teenager. I’m wearing a two piece bikini... Topped by a fashionable white dress that I could instantly remove if ever that I wish to swim in the ocean. “Natalia? Where are you, dear?” I covered myself using my hands when Aunt Jessica suddenly entered into our room. And yes, we rented only one room for the three of us to save some budget. “Oh, you’re changing... I’m sorry, dear.” But she didn’t bother to look away, for maybe she realized tha
SOPHOMORES. Finally, we are not the lowest grade level here in Jackson High. We are not the newbies anymore, for we are now at our second year in high school. It’s pretty much exciting, having new activities that we could join in, and new class schedules where Nathan could be possibly one of my classmate. Everything is going well... Not until I remember that this is the year when I’m going to help Scott get close to Becca, and Becca to my bestfriend Nathan. Thinking about it wasn’t that stressful as before, for I already knew how to handle that situation if ever. If Scott asked for my help, then I’ll do it. If Becca did, then I’ll still do it. Nothing more, nothing less. I’ll just help anyone who needs a hand whenever they need it. I guess that’s just being fair. “Scott texted me earlier... He said that we should meet him at the Cafeteria,” Nath
