JUNIORS. Finally, the long wait is over. I don’t know why, but I’m pretty much excited for this year because of one main reason... We are finally allowed to join prom. I’m not as girly as them, though thinking about dancing all night long while wearing your chosen outfit excites me the most. I hope Mom would allow me to join. But I guess she will, under the influence of Aunt Jessica, of course.
“Hey, guys! Who would have thought that we are already in our junior days?!” Scott stated, flashing a grin towards Nathan and me who just arrived at the school.
It wasn’t just the same as before. I mean, a lot have already changed over summer. Scott and Nathan isn’t looking the same as before. They became taller, a lot taller than me, I guess. I couldn’t even reach their heads even if I tiptoe. I remained as small as I am before, but that wasn’t a problem at all. Ever since I got my first period, my Mom told
AFTER classes, we are finally going to see our office. The student council department. I’m very glad that our old squad wins, meaning that we will have a new place to stay just like this one. A comfortable place, even better. A place where we could hang out every day without any disturbance from other students. It was like they gave us our own lounge here, in Jackson High. Scott and Nathan looked very excited, and I couldn’t deny the fact that I am too. Besides, who would have thought that the normie students like us will be the one to lead Jackson High’s student council, right? But still, the nervous and doubtful feeling about ourselves cannot be discharged out of our system just like that. The three of us, Nathan, Scott, and I are walking down the hallway of our school towards our new little office when all of the sudden, someone came out from the random door of a class
TODAY is finally the day of our set ups for Scott and Becca. We already prepared plan A to Z if ever that he failed to say his feelings again, and we are just going to stop if Becca said it herself... That she doesn’t want to do anything with Scott which hopefully, would not happen to our dear friend. “He’s here! Scott is walking towards our office!” Nathan exclaimed all of the sudden, before dragging me towards the small cabinet in our office. After we entered, we closed its doors shut, before we waited for Scott to enter the office. When he did, he sat down on the small couch, looking around the place as if he was searching for us. When he couldn’t, he sighed, before his eyes turned into our direction, making Nathan and I to be held back. Nathan held my shoulders, pulling me away from the hole where we are looking at Scott. T
The continuation... “I’M sorry, Tyler. But I can’t be with a loser like you.” Those words coming from Freeda shocked everyone, including Nathan and I. “What do you mean by that?” Tyler asked. “I don’t want to be your girlfriend anymore. You’re such a cheater. And I’m not coming back to someone who’s not as interested as he is last year.” Everyone was terrified, witnessing the rejection of our school bad boy from the cheerleader captain, Freeda Samson. They can’t possibly believe what is happening, and most of them are holding on to the last string of hope that Freeda can still change her mind if ever. But it didn’t happened. Then again, I remembered that not all set ups could lead into a brighter side of things... Some just ended up like this... To ruin each other’s reputation just like what happened to Becca and our dear friend, Scott. But even so, only one question remain in my mind... Why do Freeda needs to publicl
NOW that Scott is finally back, there is only one person whom we are going to wait for... And that was Becca. The principal advised us to help the other committees in preparing our prom for this year, one thing that most of us are excited about. But yet, we can’t start the meeting not until we are finally complete. So for now, the only thing that we can do was to ask Scott what really happened yesterday.“So... What really happened, dude?” Nathan asked him.“I don’t know. Everything just went extremely fast, and the next thing I knew, I’m already confessing my feelings to Becca. But when she rejected my love for her, stating that she still likes you, I still tried my best to chase her... I mean, literally chase her.”“And what did she say?” I asked, joining into the conversation.“She said that she can’t force herself to love me back, because that was impossible.
WRONG. Because I didn’t do it only for a day. Ever since that moment, Tyler often asked for my help, to the point that he even took me to his home to have our tutoring sessions together. I didn’t tell Nathan about it, since I knew that he wouldn’t allow me to go. And also, I trust Tyler enough that he wouldn’t do anything bad towards me.“Here... Maybe we can do it here. Forgive me for my rubbish home,” he stayed, before clearing the table from the bottles of bear spread across of it.“It’s alright... Can I suggest something? Maybe you could use a little bit lights to make your home brighter. I mean, this apartment is not that bad.”“No. If I were you, I wouldn’t touch anything. My father would be mad as fuck. Sorry for the word.”“Oh... But why? I mean... Is there something wrong with him?”“Do you remember the time that you called me out
“BREAK up with him, Natalia. This is not you...” he demanded, as if he owns my life.“No! Why can’t you just be happy for me, Nathan? Is it because it’s Tyler? If you’re thinking like that because he is known as the bad boy, then think again, Nat. You don’t know him that much. Just let him prove it to me that he deserves me... Just please give him a chance first...”“I don’t know him? Maybe yes, and neither do you.” I rolled my eyes upon him, getting annoyed at the fact that he’s not supporting my decisions in life anymore. And then he said something that completely changed the way I looked at him. He used my manual against me, one thing that is highly unacceptable for myself.“How about your manual, huh? I thought there is a rule written on that shit that you would never ever date a guy? What happened to you, Natalia?!”“I don’t rea
TOMORROW night will be our prom, yet nobody asked me to be their date yet. Tyler is not telling me anything about it, and I also don’t what to initiate something because that would make me look like I was too desperate to have a date for that night. I sighed, before I decided to go to the comfort room, hoping that I can release the nervousness that I have in there. Aside from the prom, I’m also thinking about Nathan and his mom. It was confirmed, they left the country to go somewhere else... Without even bidding a single good bye to any of us, even Scott, his next closest friend. I took a deep breath, before I decided to go out of the cubicle. But as I was about to, I heard a familiar voices laughing outside, making me stop for a moment. It was Freeda and her squad.“Yes, queen. I’m sure that your plan will be successful. All we need is a little bit of within for us, alright?” it was L
“MAY I have this dance?” he asked me.“Of course...” I took his hand, before he led me to the dance floor. He put my hands around his neck, before he wrapped his around my waist. And just like that, the two of us began swaying with the music. I just wish that my bestfriend is here... That Nathan is here to witness everything that we can see tonight.“Are you alright? Why do you look so sad?” Tyler asked me, making me come back to my senses.“Nothing... I just wish that... My bestfriend if here. Nathan is gone, Tyler. Just like that. And the last thing we did together is to fight.”“Fight about me? I’m sorry, Natalia. I didn’t mean to be the cause of that. I just... I wanted to be with you. That is all I ever wanted, Nat.”“It’s alright. It’s not your
