Bk 2 Ch 16: Nate
“Hey! Can I get one of those minty drinks?” someone asked. I couldn’t help but grin at that request. Minty drink! If only that kid knew how many minty drinks out there.
I mixed up a mojito, the best “minty drink” I know, and gave it to them. The party seemed to be going awesome, and more and more people were trusting my mixing skills.
“Happy birthday, Nate,” a cute girl with golden curls grinned at me. I felt my phone buzzing, but ignored it.
“What can I get for you, Beth?” I asked her.
She put a strand of hair behind her ear. “I would love a screwdriver.”
“Coming up.”
I was mixin

I woke up to the smell of bacon and coffee, and immediately wanted to go back to sleep. My head was pounding, and my mouth was dry. I looked over at who was in bed with me, and I was relieved to see Rose and Kam. I looked around the room, and realized it wasn’t mine. It was Mary’s. The previous night came back to me in full force. Now I really wanted to go back to sleep. I can’t believe I got drunk and sang karaoke. In front of the choir geeks. Their poor ears! Still, I couldn’t stay in someone else’s bed forever, and I know from experience how good Nate’s hangover breakfast tastes. I sighed, and gently got out of the bed, not waking Rose and Kam. “Good morning, Beyonce,” Nate said when I came into the kitchen. Jimmy and Saoirse were also up and moving around the house with some cleaning supplies.

Kimi, Kam, and Rose left around eleven thirty. Jimmy, Saoirse, and I finished cleaning the house. It was the one condition Ma had for my parties. I could run my fake bar, but I was in charge of cleanup after. Including washing her sheets. I think it’s why she lets me have the parties in the first place. It was a guarantee the house would be clean, plus it was a good excuse to go to midnight mass on Fridays.One thing I knew was that Zack needed to be given a dose of empathy. “So, I need some backup tomorrow,” I said casually to my cousins.Jimmy perked up. “What kind of backup?”I smirked at him. “The kind that requires someone to hold an idiot down while I scare the shit out of him.”

“Hey, Kimia,” Zack tried to talk to me during Math. I studiously ignored him. He poked me with the eraser of his pencil. “Please, look at me. I don’t want your goons to attack me again.”That got my attention. I looked at him confused. “I don’t have goons,” I whispered. “Stop talking to me.” I tried to concentrate on the assignment.Zack wouldn’t let up. “Come on, I need to apologize or Nate will kill me.” Nate. Of course.I sighed. “Fine, apologize.”“I’m sorry I said anything about the video on Friday. Do you forgive me?” He didn’t even look at me. The bastard wasn’t sorry he thought I was
Graycorts Bk 2 Ch 20: Nate
I was grinning like an idiot while I waited for my prey to exit the school. Benefits of stalking the kid for the last two weeks, I knew when he should be leaving the building, and through which door. I didn’t have long to wait.The idiot came out, and he was with a few of his friends, including a cheerleader or two. So that’s how he’d seen the video. I knew Kirsten had sent it to the entire cheer squad and the football team. Bitch.I slid up from behind him and put my arm around his shoulders. “If it isn’t my friend, Zack,” I said with a malicious smile. “I need to have a chat with you.” I started to lead him away from his friends.“Oh, hey, Nate. Going to kill me?” His voice was dripping with sarcasm.

“Kimia! That is a, well, it is a dog, isn’t it?” my therapist asked when Nate and I walked in for my session. I couldn’t help but smile at her shock. Nate was pretty imposing as a wolf.“He’s got a lot of wolf in him, but he’s fairly well trained.” I had Nate on a leash and collar, and I could tell he wasn’t entirely happy about it.Dr. Mayfeld still looked a little apprehensive, but allowed Nate to stay. I sat on the couch, and Nate climbed up next to me. “Well behaved, huh?”I patted Nate’s head, and scratched his ears. “He comforts me, and he’ll keep me honest.”“I’ve never heard of a support dog keeping a person

I’d learned more about Kimi in the last hour than I’d learned in the last six months. I quickly shifted in her back seat, then pulled my clothes back on. We’d left together after school, and I shifted on the way to the therapist’s.“So, where to next?” I asked when I was fully clothed and climbing into the front seat.“Fuck!” she swore. “Give a girl warning when you’re going to move while she’s driving! I suppose you want to talk about what I said in there?”I shook my head. “Nope. What happens in therapy, stays in therapy unless you want to discuss it.”“A bit like Fight Club, huh?” she chuckled.
Graycorts Bk 2 Ch 23: Kimia
“Do you think I should get the shirt with the unicorn, or the turtle?” Rose and I were laying on her bed shopping. Aspen Falls is so small that we don’t have many clothing stores, and the ones we do have suck.“I like the unicorn, but they’d send you home from school if you wore it,” I told her when I looked at the options. The unicorn was really cute, but it was giving the finger with its front hooves. The turtle was also adorable, and looking grumpy.Rose growled, but put the turtle shirt in her cart. “I wish we had a decent mall or a department store. Online is such a risk.”I glanced at her boobs. “Well, not everyone can be as endowed as you, or have your hips.”

“Whoever invented these torture devices needs to be resurrected and shot,” I grumbled to Kam as we were getting ready for the dance. The girls were in Kimi’s room, while Kam and I were in his. I had been attempting to knot a tie at my throat, but failed miserably.Kam laughed at me. “I agree, but Rose says they make a man look smoking hot.” I glanced at him in the mirror. He was wearing a white long sleeve button down shirt, black tie, and a black and gold vest with black slacks.“Well,” I said, throwing my tie behind me, “I’m not trying to impress your girlfriend.”“No, just my sister,” Kam smirked. I flipped him off, then rearranged my shirt in the mirror. I had on a black button down and b
