Chapter 5: ○Chapter 4
I won't leave.
I promise,
I'll stay
Forever
.....
"I'm busy" I heard Nate whisper. Rubbing my eyes. It was dark outside. I must of fallen asleep. I took out my phone to check the time. It was two in the morning.
Who could be talking too?
"Why the fuck are you even calling me for?" I heard him sigh as he waited for someone on the other line of the phone to answer.
"Imbeciles," I almost laughed at what said. It really must be hard for him to deal with people.
But that's how business is. I'm sure there must have been someone else who could have helped. Like the manager of that department.
Then again I'm quite familiar with anything related to businesses or companies. I'm not sure if Nate is just interning for his family's company.
From the looks of it he was more responsibility and work load than a normal intern.
After muttering a few more curse words. He spoke over the phone about some extra shipments that need to be prepared and that he'll be over there to fix everything.
Are interns allowed to act in that way?
I saw him walking towards the living room. I quickly hurried back to the sofa and pretend to sleep.
"I'm sorry but I need leave. Something important came up," with that he covered the blanked over my body and left.
I waited till he left the house and until I heard the door click as he locked it. Sometimes I wonder if Nate is really an intern. Its just a ridiculous idea.
He obviously is. My mind can come up with really weird scenarios. I went back to sleep.
....
I heard my alarm ring indicating it was four in the morning. I switched it off and changed into something fitting for a run. Which is a sports bra and yoga tights. With some sneakers. I went for a run for about an hour and thirty minutes.
I took a a shower. Changed into something for school. Made a small English breakfast. Packed my back and left for school.
By then it was only six thirty in the morning. My drive to school was uneventful as always. I reached school and I saw two cars that have already part infront if the school.
I parked mine the middle of them. "Morning," I heard Clara and Vanessa say in unison.
"Morning, " I replied. I took out my bag. The parking lot was awful empty at this time. Then again. I'm always early.
"What is the plan for today?" I asked as we walked towards the school.
Clara looked abit hesitant before she spoke. I almost rolled my eyes at her because what could be so bad.
"Well.. socially. Its pretty bad apparently there's some news about you going around. It's in the schools blog and some of the schools newspapers,"
I stook her phone scrolling through the article.
ICE QUEEN IS FINALLY A SCREWBALL
turns out all those snowballs froze Kristina Winter's brain,
The there was a picture of me as Nate arms were wrapped around my waist as I tried to.. to grab honeybager girl's hair.
Breathe just breathe "who did this and when was this posted"
"Just a few minutes ago. Don't worry I stopped the print outs. Sadly only two were printed out one is destroyed and the other it's with the writer,"
" who did this?" I asked again.
" I'm not sure. I'm still looking into it though," I heard Clara answer. Her voice was firm. I trust her,she has never let me down.
"Vanessa, can you please take down this article. If you can, please help Clara find out who this writer."
"No problem, " I nodded my head. We continued to walk till we found an empty call room.
"What's next?" I asked
" We still need to have a meeting with the dance team," I heard Vanessa emphasis. I really did not want to. I knew I had but I'm not in the mood to meet up with people who look like their world has been destroyed.
Just because they lost one game.
I lost too but here, I am here today and still not complaining.
"Sure, they will be here soon anyway," I reluctantly said.
"If I remember correctly. There's going to be a Matric dance this year. I thought we should sign up to help with the planning ," I said, a bit too eager.
I looked up towards my close friends. We have been together since the beginning of high school.
A matric dance it's like a homecoming dance. If that makes sense. It's a party dedicated towards the seniors, the grade 12 learners. A simple farewell gift and appreciation for the amount of years we suffered in high school.
"Sooo;"
I could see both of them contemplating whether to help or not.
"If you don't want help out is fine, I'll just do it alm by myself. So much for friendship, "
"We'll do it," I heard Clara say. She's the youngest in group.
"I think what Clara meant was she will help you not me," Vanessa corrected
"I mean we have pre-trial coming up don't forget that afterwards we have trails then our finally exams" She added
"Come on, Nessa we both know all you care about is your little computer programs," I smiled involuntarily when I heard Clara say that.
Vanessa is a hacker. She's a pretty good one at that. Sadly she's not really into anything involving school.
Though she does tag along and help with alot of things. To which I'm grateful for.
"Its only for two weeks," I pressed on.
"Fine,"
"I think it's time for us to go to the sports field," I told everyone. I'm sure the rest of the dance team would be there waiting for us. It's a place where we hold our meetings in the morning.
Clara and I left while Vanessa took care of the little misshapen.
"Morning everyone," I greeted.
I need to make this quick so I can leave and get ready for class. My first period is math. I don't want miss it.
I heard a chores of mornings. They were all sitting at the Pavilion. "Since your leaving next year. Who's going to be the new cap-"
"Shut it Sam;" Why must it be the same question everytime. I get it I'm getting old.
I'll leave and won't have to deal with this nonsense again.
"I know the last competition we participated in did not end well. And it was probably going to be last one that I'll br part of since I'm old. Right Sam?"
I heard a few chuckles here and there. "Its not the first we lost and it wont be the last. Though that doesn't mean we should make losing a habit."
"Clara is my partner and as always we will hold auditions for next year, hopefully in a week or two. The earlier the better. As for looking for a new team captain.
There will be a vote on Friday to see who will take the position and whether they are fit for that position," I added.
I scanned the small group members to see their reactions. I saw that all of them did not oppose, so far.
"Any question about anything else?" No one had nothing to ask which I was delighted at that.
The rest of the advertising for the auditions. There were a few people who could do that. They knew more about this than I do. I'll still help if there anything I need to help with.
"There's still the group chat," I said as walked away. Towards my class the bell had rung.
