chapter 1
Nate's POV:
"what are you talking about?" she asked my mother. she swallowed.
"oh dear, I am so sorry, I know it must be hard for you....." my mother started repeating what she said a couple of seconds ago. my mother wanted me to tag along with her so I can serve as a crying shoulder while she broke the news to her. I hated the idea of me comforting a girl but I couldn't let my mother know I couldn't care less about Jeniffer or any other woman.
while my mother kept talking, I had plenty of time to study jenny's face. she is not the prettiest girl in the room, her black hair, brown eyes, full lips ...".ahhh stay focused" I told myself. I couldn't help but notice the bulge that is growing in my jeans. she is still wearing her uniform skirt and I wanted to slide my fingers in ..." GOD DAMN IT" I mumbled under my breath disgusted by my own thoughts, and I hated her for it. she glanced over at me then back to my mother.
what was that? I saw her face and suddenly I was full of questions, I couldn't put my finger on it but it was not the face of someone who just heard they lost their father! not a face you make when you realize you've just become an orphan. That face! one would even think she might've killed him! and within a blink of an eye, she started sobbing. but I didn't buy it, it takes one to know one.
jenny's POV:
I didn't know how to react. should I cry? or should I laugh? But that would make me look a bit insane. who laughs at the news of their own father's death? I know miss Osburn is waiting for me to say something. But what I couldn't understand was why she had to bring him.NATE. he makes me uneasy, I wouldn't say that I like him but every time he is around I forget how to breathe, how to walk everything becomes a blur. I can see from the corner of my eye that he was staring at me.
"NOOO This can't be. my eyes started to water. I knelt down on the ground and held my chest with both hands and cried my eyes out even surprising myself but hoping they bought it.
