Minnie Mouse Shirt
I climb out of the pool, glaring face-to-face with Nathan.
But it's kinda hard, since he's probably a few inches taller..
"Had a nice swim?" He asks, a smirk on his face. I could literally slap him right now.
"Bitch, you pushed me," I say breathlessly, my body shaking from the cold water.
He just looks amused, as he takes a step closer to me. "Language," he says, his voice almost a whisper, "there's children here."
"I could kill you right here if I want," I say harshly. But my eyes are currently admiring his face.
"Chill, babe. It was just a dare," Will says, walking up to Nathan's side.
I raise an eyebrow at the name Will calls me.
"Don't babe me. You guys are so immature," I comment, rolling my eyes.
"Guys, we gotta go," Someone calls out. I look over their shoulders and see it was Kyle.
All the boys turn to leave. Except Nathan. "Nathan, let's go," Will says.
"Meet you at the car," He replies.
Will shrugs his shoulders, and jogs over to their car.
Then, he turns to me. "So, what's your name?"
"Why should I tell you that?"
"Because I asked," he simply replies, shrugging his shoulders.
"Opal," I finally say.
"Opal what?" He asks, amusement flickering in his eyes.
I raise an eyebrow at him. "Opal Rodriguez."
"Well, Opal, you should probably get a towel. You look cold," he says.
Bitch.
He turns to leave. "See you on Monday," he calls out, and jogs to the car.
I hope you fall.

"C'mon, Opal. If you don't get up in five minutes, you gotta walk your lazy ass to school yourself!"
Love you too, Gemma.
I struggle out of bed and stare out the window for a while.
I let out a yawn and head to the bathroom. I wash myself off and head to my closet to pick an outfit.
Just a simple outfit. I decide on a Minnie Mouse shirt and black leggings.
After jogging down the stairs, I pass through the kitchen and grab an apple as my breakfast. "Don't you want a pancake?" My mom asks, looking up from her book as she sits on a chair.
I shake my head as a reply, grab my bag and sneakers, and head out the door.
Who cares if I get my socks dirty, am I right?
I hop into my sister's car and tie my shoes on.
"You are slow as hell," Gemma scoffs.
"Just drive, woman," I say.
And we make our way to North Den High.
~
I walk through the hallways, until I finally find my locker. And waiting for me, is Bella.
Bella Staton has been my best friend since 6th grade. We had sleepovers, birthday parties, days at the mall, and all that other stuff you do with your best friend.
"Hey," she greets me. "Did you see any cute guys at the pool?" I glance at her, and she's wiggling her eyebrows.
"Nope," I say, turning to my locker and putting in my combination.
"Oh, okay. My dog died last week."
My locker opens with a click. "You don't have a dog," I say, giving her a confused look.
"I know. Just like how you probably saw some cute-ass guys yesterday."
I raise my eyebrows at her.
"You're playing with that again." She gestures to my chest, and I look down to see my fingers were playing with my necklace. It's something I do when I'm nervous or scared. Or when I'm lying.
The necklace was given to me by my dad.
"Oops," I say with a shrug. I stare at the details of the necklace. It's a beautiful golden locket, with a picture of my dad inside.
"So who was it?" She asks, looking me in the eyes.
I shrug my shoulders. "Some douche bags," I reply casually.
"Hot douche bags?" She asks, as her eyebrows shot up. Then, she clears her throat. "Quick question: Are they in our school?"
Slowly, I nod my head.
A smile on her face slowly widens. "Who?"
Just then, a familiar voice starts laughing across the hall. I glance over and see all four of the boys. Nathan is the one who really catches my attention.
"Them," I say, keeping my eyes on them. Bella follows my eyes and sees them as well.
"Holy cow," she whispers. I mentally laugh at her comment.
"He pushed me in the pool," the words immediately leave my mouth.
She quickly looks at me. "Excuse me?"
I give her an embarrassed smile, not really knowing what to do. "Nathan pushed me in the pool."
Then, she glares at me. "You lucky nugget."
I roll my eyes and gently push her shoulder.
~
"Excuse me, but can I have broccoli with this?" Bella asks, as she stands in front of me in the lunch line.
The lunch staff dump broccoli on her tray. Then, they turn to me.
"What do you want, sweetie?" A lady asks in a bored tone.
"Pizza."
She takes a slice and places it on my tray. "Anything else?"
"No, thank you," I reply, as I grab fruit and milk.
I emerge from the line and head toward my little table.
"So, did you do your history homework?" Bella asks me, as I take my seat.
"Yep," I reply. "Do you need it?"
"Just on a few questions," she says, smile on her face.
As I hand her my notebook, someone walks up to our table. "Can I have your pizza?"
I look up, and green eyes greet me. Nathan Adams.
"My pizza?"
He nods his head.
"Uh no. That's okay," I say, looking back down at my pizza.
With an amused look, he takes a seat beside me. "But friends share."
Nice to know.
"Sorry to disappoint you, but we're not friends," I say, taking a bite of my pizza.
"Fine then," he says, getting up. "By the way, I like your shirt."
Then, he turns and walks off to his table.
Jerk, I don't give a shit if you like my shirt..
I turn to Bella, who's practically drooling like a fountain, staring at Nathan's direction.
"Hey, don't get any of your spit on my notebook."
She quickly turns to me. "Do you like him?"
Like him?
"That trash? Hell no," I tell her, taking another bite of my pizza.
"Sure," she says, a smirk on her face.
"Oh my gosh, shut up," I say, slapping her arm lightly.
She laughs softly and continues to eat her food.
~
The school bells ring, and the once empty hallway is now filled with students.
I'm making my way to my locker, when I feel someone tap my shoulder.
I turn around to see that it's my sister. "Opal, I can't drive you back home."
"What, why?"
"I have a study group with my girls, and we're planning to sleep at Lily's house," she explains.
"But who's gonna drive me home?" I ask.
She shrugs her shoulders. "Figure that out yourself." Then, she turns around and walks away. Wow okay, hoe.
After grabbing my stuff, I head outside. My eyes search for Bella. I could ask her mom to give me a ride home.
I'm about to pull out my phone and ask Bella where she is.
"Need a ride, Minnie Mouse?"
Minnie Mouse? I turn around to see Nathan, smirking at me.
"Yea," I mumble.
He sticks his hands in his pockets. "We live near each other, so I guess I could give you a ride."
"A ride from you? No thanks," I scoff.
"Oh, so you already have a ride?" He asks, amusement flickering in those green eyes of his. I'm not gonna lie, but this boy has some stunning eyes.
I sigh. "Just get me home."
He walks off and I follow. And we stop. In front of a motorcycle.
"Nope. Nope," I say, walking away.
Nathan grabs my hand and pulls me back. "Afraid of motorcycles, Minnie Mouse?" He asks teasingly.
"Don't call me that," I snap.
He laughs softly and hands me his helmet. I just stare at it while biting my lip, as if I'm waiting for it to pounce on me.
"Do still want a ride or not?" He asks, a bit impatiently.
I roll my eyes, as I grab the helmet from his hands and fasten it on my head.
Nathan hops on, and I hesitate before struggling to do the same. Awkwardly, I wrap my arms around his waist.
And we're off.
The scenery around me goes by so quickly and everything seems to be a blur. My arms tighten around his waist. I'm not dying today..
We finally arrive in front of my house. "This is your house right?" He asks, as I get off.
I nod in reply and take his helmet off my head. "Thanks," I mumble, handing it back to him.
"No problem," he says. "I never knew we lived so close to each other."
"Really, where's your house?"
"Right there," he replies, pointing to the house on the other side of the street.
"Oh," is my only reply.
"Yep," he sighs turning back to me. "You should visit me sometime," he says with a smirk on his face.
I slap his arm lightly. "You wish."
"Anyway. Bye, Minnie Mouse," and he walks the rest of the way back to his house.
Bye, Nathan.
