So this in only a teeny part. Not even all of chapter one.Tell me what you think? It's a heck of a lot longer then this. Trust me. Anyways, opinions?! : D
Nate and I started talking over AIM in the middle of January. Then we officially met at a concert. We had set it up to make sure we could find each other. You could say it was love at first sight. Of course, there’s a lot more to that part of the story.
The next morning he called and asked me out to lunch. Now, this was New York, my first time being there since my life had been hectically rearranged, and an amazing guy has asked me to lunch. What do you think I said? “YESSS!!!! I’d love to Nate!!!!”
That isn’t the best part though. At lunch he asked me to be his girlfriend. Once again, my answer is? It’s so simple I’m not even going to tell you.
Unfortunately, then after we started going out, I had to return home and Nate to his tour. Obviously the two of us did not think this whole dating thing through. We did find ways to keep in touch though. Every day we talk through AIM and twice a week he called. Of course, I also texted him a hundred times a day.
Eventually my friends found out. Basically, when I turned down a date from my school crush who was also my ex-boyfriend. I also blew him off when he flirted with me 24/7. This last part is what shocked them. Turning down the guy who supposedly broke your heart is acceptable.
“Okay, so who is it?” my best friend, Rachel, asked.
“Who is who?” was my idiotic answer.
“Your boyfriend! Why else would you turn down Nick?”
“Don’t tell, but its Nate Jakes.”
“Liar.”
“I’m serious! Call him!” I said as I handed her my cell phone.
“Hey, cutie,” Nate said, jokingly, thinking that it was me calling.
“Oh my God! You’re flipping serious!” Rachel yelled to me, and into the phone.
“Give me that! You idiot! Nate? Sorry, that was my friend Rachel. She didn’t believe that we were going out.”
“Oh, you told someone?”
“Yeah, uh, just Rachel…. She’s my best friend though, we can trust her.”
“Okay, I believe you. Listen, I gotta go. Rehearsal is about to start. I’ll text you later or something, okay?”
“Okay. See ya.”
“Bye.”
“I can’t believe that you are actually going out with him! Isn’t that, like, every girl’s dream?” Rachel asked after Nate and I hung up.
“Yes, but you can’t tell ANYONE.”
“Fine, but when do you see him?”
“Never. Gotta go. Bye!”

“Guess what? Nate told me that he loves me on AIM yesterday!!!!” I told Rachel before school the next day.
“Seriously? What’d you do?”
“I said ‘I love you too.’”
“Nice. Nick asked me out yesterday.”
“That’s awesome!” I said trying to be happy when frankly I didn’t care.
“Here he comes! Are you okay with this? I know you used to like him….”
“I’m fine! Boyfriend, remember?”
“Hey, Amy. Hey, Rachel,” Nick said as he walked up to us.
“Hey, Nick,” I said. “Well, this is great. I’m going to class now. Bye.”
*
“Hello?” I said as I answered my phone. Rachel and I were on our way to lunch.
“I think lover boy’s sick,” Jay said.
“Jay? What? Nate? Is he okay?”
“He’s not talking and is ignoring everyone. At first I thought he was just mad at me but I guess not.”
“He has no reason to be mad at you. And neither do I. But why are you telling me? It’s not like I can do anything about it.”
“Could you text him? Or call him?”
“I’ll text him. Bye.”
“Bye. And Amy? I’m really glad you’re not mad at me,” Jay said and hung up.
*
Amy: Nate u ok?
Nate: yeah y?
Amy: Jay says u r sick
Nate: y?
Amy: ur not talking. he’s worried
Nate: im fine
Amy: did i do something?
Nate: no! don’t worry
Amy: k, but cheer up
Nate: ok then
Amy: i have 2 go 2 class but we can talk later. bye
Nate: bye
*
“So nothing’s wrong?” Rachel asked.
“He said nothing. Should I get a hold of Jay or wait?” I asked really wanting a reason to talk to him.
“Lunch is almost over so just do it later.”
“Yeah, I’ll do that. Why didn’t Nick sit with us?”
“I don’t know. I thought he would….”
“We can yell at him later. Now we have more fun class time.”
May 16th.
Ahg937: hey
JayJa91: hey
JayJa91: what’s up?
Ahg937: homework u?
JayJa91: wishing Nate wasn’t so depressing
Ahg937: he’s not better?
JayJa91: he attempted it after we hung

“Amy?” Nick asked.
“Amy? Amy? Hello? Come on, Amy! Even Nick tried! What’s wrong?” Rachel screamed to me in our first period class.
“He’s in the hospital.”
“Who?” Nick asked.
“Oh, God! Is he okay?!!? Oh, Amy!” Rachel said really shocked at the news.
“WHO?!!?!?”
“Her boyfriend!!!”
“Who?”
“I have a boyfriend, dumbo!” I yelled.
“Why don’t I know him?”
“Because he doesn’t go here. Duh.”
“The where does he go?”
“Um…Amy? Are you gonna answer?” Rachel asked.
“I think he’s tutored or home-schooled or something.”
“Well who is he?!?!?!” Nick asked not too thrilled by the news.
“You don’t know him!” I screamed, aggravated.
“Well what’s his name?”
“Nate,” Rachel calmly and happily added.
“Rachel?!?!? What the heck!?!?!?”
“It’s not going to hurt. What’s the big deal?”
“Ugh.”
*
“Jay?”
“What?” Rachel asked at lunch.
“Jay’s calling me. Nate?!?!? Oh my God! Rachel! It’s Nate!!!”
“Is he okay?”
“Hey. Jay said that you were worried,” Nate said.
“Yeah. I’m shocked he said something. But are you okay? Are you at the hospital? And why on earth do you have Jay’s phone?”
“I’m still here and doing better. Mom and Dad went to get something to eat. Jay slipped me his phone to try and talk to you. How are you doing?”
“I’m fine. When will you get out?”
“Either tonight or in the morning. Mom’s pretty ticked that I didn’t tell her that I wasn’t feeling well.”
“Oh, well I’m kinda ticked too! You told me that you were fine.”
“I didn’t want to worry you. Listen, Jay says Mom’s coming. I have to go. I love you though.”
“I love you too. Bye.”
“So…? Is he okay?” Rachel asked as soon as we hung up.
“Yeah. He’ll be out tonight or tomorrow morning.”
“That’s good. Was he glad to talk to you?”
“Yeah, he said I shouldn’t have worried though.”
“It sounds like he’s going to be fine. You really should have listened to him then. Are you happy now though?”
“Very.”
“Good. Now come on, Nick’s waving for us to join him.”
“Hey, Amy. Hey, Rachel.”
“Hey guys,” I said.
“Hi Nick!” Rachel said, rather cheerfully.
“You still upset?” he asked me.
“No, I’m fine. Thanks.”
“Why was she upset?” Nick’s friend Steven asked.
“Her boyfriend,” Nick said.
“That’s why she said no!”
“No to what?” Rachel asked, confused.
“To be his girlfriend,” Steven said. He was completely oblivious to her confusion.
“He asked her out on the 23rd,” she said very matter-of-factly.
“And the 13th,” Steven said.
“What?!?!? Amy?!?!!?”
I just looked away. I didn’t want her to see the truth in my face.
“Nick?”
“I asked her out again on the 13th. It was over AIM though, when she wasn’t on. I got the response on the 14th,” he said, kind of ashamed.
“So I was your second choice? For her!? My supposed best friend!?”
“Rachel, let’s go talk,” I said, pulling her by the arm.
“YOU, YOU, UGH!!!!!YOU LIED TO ME! I HATE YOU!”
“I didn’t lie to you, I just didn’t tell you. It wasn’t important. I’m sorry.”
That’s when the weird thing happened. That’s when she slapped me. It wasn’t like I even knew it was coming. I was just looking at her waiting for a reply and she slapped me across the face. Then she walked out of the cafeteria and just left me standing there with half of my face red.
“You okay?” Nick asked as I sat back down.
“Yeah, she’s just mad. It didn’t hurt too much. I’ll live,” I said. And it didn’t hurt. What hurt was that my best friend thought I betrayed her. That my best friend was mad at me. That my best friend said she hated me. And from experience, I knew she wouldn’t get over it. Not anytime soon if any time ever. |
