C12 Space!?

We had dance classes again today, but all that was on my mind was talking to Nathaniel and finding out what happened.

I know he will not tell me at my first trial, but being that he has a soft spot for me, I just might know my way around his guard. I hope I'm not flattering myself

In class, our instructors informed us about our project. It was to get Dance partners but before all that, we were to vote on what we wanted.

Silvia had swapped classes to dance.

We were asked to vote and Silvia kept screaming 'Couples Dance'

Victor clearly told her what he did to me yesterday and being the sly player she is, she is playing her cards well.

She is only suggesting this so she could dance with Victor and if he says no, all the other boys will follow suit. However, he said yes.

He has always ever seen Silvia as a friend and getting too close to her as like in a couples dance was something that would seem to irk him, but now what?

He kept shooting daggers at me with his eyes and I kept looking away in fear and confusion. Why does he seem so angry with me?

The teacher had grouped everyone into two's till we were just four left. I, Nathaniel, a really fat and oddly smelling boy and a girl with similar characteristics as the fat boy.

The teacher asked the class to vote on how she should pair us four and all of a sudden Silvia screamed;

"Ma'am, I think Jade and Nathaniel would do great together. "

"Yes, they would. They are beautiful dancers and are not surprisingly good kissers too. " Victor adds and my heart stops.

At the sound of the last words, the whole class broke into laughter.

Except, Victor, Nathaniel, and I.

I could feel tears form in my eyes. Why would he say that? And in public too. What's wrong with him? I never kissed Nathaniel!

If anyone had the right to act like an ass, it was me and not him! He was the one who hurt me yesterday but now he is acting like he has been backstabbed?

The teacher agreed and paired Nathaniel and me I. Nathaniel walked up to me and placed one hand on my waist. For some reason, his touch on my waist seemed so familiar.

I could see Victor gritting his teeth as he glared at us. I am hurt that he doesn't like me or even consider my emotions but if he doesn't want to be around me, why is he being such a d**k head right now?

I look up at Nathaniel and he gives me a small smile. Although something about his expression doesn't sit right.

After class, I ran up to Nathaniel.

"Nath, what's up. You've been avoiding me." I state.

"It's nothing. " He replies, shrugging his shoulders and not looking at me.

At the sound of those words, I could feel my heart deflate and I stopped dead in my tracks.

"It's nothing?" I questioned. My voice as low as possible.

It means he just wants to be away from me.

He turned around and saw me standing still a few feet behind him. I know my tears want to fall but I can't help it. They roll down as anyways.

I quickly wipe them off and turned around as I began to run to my hostel. I could hear him calling my name but I didn't stop.

Luckily, Edna and Faith still have classes so the room is all mine and I can peacefully cry my life out.

I lay in my bed as I reminisce over today. What just happened? What did Nathaniel mean? He doesn't want me around anymore??

Screw boys!!
