Comment and vote my loves ;D
"Harley Sanders!" Amber shrieks from the other side of the quad.
She stops across the quad to me the school's weekly gossip blog post on the laptop in her hand.
"What the actual fuck is this?!" She thrusts the laptop out so I can see it.
I almost faint at the front page headline. Are our two favorite basketball jocks the school's newest it couple? Below it is a picture of Nathan and I holding hands on our fro-yo date.
I feel the bile rising in my throat and dash to the nearest bathroom. Once there I hurl my breakfast into the toilet.
Amber was right behind me the entire time and she kindly tied my hair back with a ponytail.
"Give me...the laptop."
I feel nauseous reading this gossip article that everyone in the school will read.
...our two favorite jocks were caught red handed on a date at the local frozen yogurt place Saturday night...
...is it just a hook-up or is it the hopeful blossoming of an adorable jock love?...
...the two were also caught lip-locking in the gym before a more than friendly one on one game...
And then I vomited again at the picture taken made to look like we were full on kissing. Not that I was kissing his cheek to get the ball.
"This isn't true."
"Harley. They have pictures."
"But it didn't happen!" I shout angrily.
Amber gives me the "bitch please" look.
"Okay so it did but it's not what it looks like. They don't have the whole story!"
"Go on..."
"Okay remember the deal I made with Nathan?"
"Yes..."
"Well the deal was, that if I lost, I'd go out on a date with him."
"Why were you kissing him then?"
"I was kissing his cheek. And it got me the first three points of the game. I was distracting a teenage boy in the only way I knew how. I made him let his guard down and it worked."
"Until someone fucking stalked you guys and got these pictures."
"Yes. And maybe the hand holding wasn't fake."
"What if he set you up?"
"You really think he would do that?" I'm hating the fact that my voice sounds hurt.
"I dunno. It's Nathan we're talked about Harley."
Oh my God. "I need to go talk to him."
"Okay but hold on," She pulls a pack of mint gum and a granola bar out from her bag and extends them toward me.
"Gum for now and food for later." She explains.
"Thank you. You're the best." I take two pieces of gum and shove them in my mouth, already feeling slightly better and tuck the granola bar in my bag.
"I know. You're welcome."
I walk out of the bathroom, chewing the mint gum vigorously and run smack into the boy I was looking for.
"We need to talk." He mutters lowly, grabbing my wrist tightly and yanking me along as I stumble over my feet behind him, almost falling on my face multiple times. We stop near the front office when there's a few computer nerds hanging around where it's fairly quiet except for—
"Oh my gosh I really hope they don't start making out right now." A nasally zit faced boy pipes up and Nathan and I both shoot him a hard glare.
He walks over to the boy who spoke up. "Can I see your laptop." Nathan grunts.
He quickly hands it over, Nathan rolls his eyes but doesn't click anything and turns the laptop toward me.
Of course. The blog.
"What kind of fucking prank is this Harley?" He demands.
"That's what I want to know! That wasn't me asshole!"
The nerds start whispering between each other and we both glare at them.
"Get out." I say through gritted teeth. I watch as the geeks scatter like bugs.
"You set me up." I point an accusing finger at his chest.
"Bullshit!" He exclaims rather loudly. "I don't know who did this or why but I'm bound find out." Oh shit. Temper! Temper! Do something Harley!
"And when I get my hands on them—" he growls.
Logical Harley slips away a stupid teenage Harley slaps him across the face and even goes the extra mile to press her lips to his firmly.
Quickly, logical Harley comes back and I pull away and divert my gaze to my shoes.
"Harley...w-what was that."
"I-I don't know. It's nothing. I'll—I'll talk to you later." I shove past him and kick myself mentally. Harley you just fucked things up a hell of a lot more.
Nathan
I spent my entire free period and lunch period looking for my Number Three.
I couldn't even locate her friend, the blonde one. Chicks are really good at hiding when they need to be.
God I really screwed up. But Harley and I aren't meant to happen anyways...right?
I just want to tuck her away and keep her from all of this drama. What is that?
But what I'm really wondering is who fucking stalked us on our date.
Because the last thing I need is another crazy creep following me around for gossip.
I let out an 'oophm' as a basketball whacks me in the side.
"Dude! What is up with you today man?" Zeke, my best friend and extremely tall and talented post player thumps me on the shoulder, shaking his head.
"Get whatever shit out of that handsome head of yours that's messing with your game out." Harley. That's my problem.
"Go get some water boys!" I shout. "Zeke. Locker room." I mutter.
My God we're females now.
"What's up Nate." Zeke furrows his eyebrows together, something he does only when he's truly concerned.
Harley slapped me. And then kissed me. Harley fucking Sanders kissed me.
"Harley." Is all I manage to choke out.
"She's hot yeah but what about her."
"Zeke. The blog post this morning is really messing with my head. We're supposed to be frienemies. Not this kissing and slapping and holding hands shit."
"Boyfriend and girlfriend." Zeke fills in.
"Yeah that. We're not supposed to be the school's it couple. We're supposed to be friendly jocks."
"We all know you two are a little more than friendly jocks." Zeke mutters and I scowl at him.
"We need to take this blog post down Zeke." Even though everyone's already seen it.
"I got your back man." He slaps my shoulder supportively.
"Let's find this stalker and take em down."
"Let's do it." Zeke says with a firm nod. But after basketball practice right?
"Right. Let's tear it up." Pft. That sounds so wrong.
Zeke laughs and I let out a low chuckle.
Harley would be making that cute little scrunched up face if she was here.
Wow. Can't get her off my mind.
*-*
WHOA OKAY JUST ROLLER COASTER AF.
I didn't plan for any of that except the blog to happen. It just did...whoops.
Idk what's going on with these two anymore. Why don't we throw some family drama in? Just to make things better am I right?
Alrightyyyyy bai now
