Bk 2 Ch 4: Nate
“So, you’re going to leave us and be a hoity toity college man, huh?” Jeremy asked, handing me a beer. I was at his place waiting for the three musketeers. I’d just told them my new plans for the future. Damn my new friends.
“Yeah. The goodies talked me into it. They made a good point about needing a cook for the club.” I took a swig and waited for Saoirse’s reaction. The plans included all three of us. We were our own trio. We worked together back in Boston at Uncle Micky’s, and we had each other’s backs when shit went down.
They were there for me after Dad put me in the hospital for mouthing off to him. I was there when their dad cheated on their mom. They were the closest things to siblings I had, and the only family living in this assbackwards town that I’ve grown to love.

“Is there anything you’d like to talk about today?” The usual question. The question Dr. Mayfeld has been asking me for months. The same question that has the same answer. “Nope,” I responded. What is there to talk about? Therapy was to help me process and work through what had happened to me, but I still don’t have any memory of it. It happened. The only way I could have avoided being raped by a bastard was to avoid liking Simon. “How has school been?” She really thinks she’ll get me to talk eventually. “Allright,” I lied. The whole cheer squad keeps hissing slurs at me in the halls when I’ve been alone. There have also been notes shoved into my locker. Even some members of the football team have been coming onto me in the worst ways. Nate at least respects boun

So, I may or may not be stalking Kimia. I knew she had therapy today, and that she usually shifts after therapy. Not rocket science. I just figured that with Kam and Rose hooking up and being all coupley, Kimi would need someone to run with her. In spite of what we tell Rose, wolves do crave companionship. I was surprised she let me fall asleep next to her, and glad she teased me when she woke me up. The woman needs some serious play. I did make sure she didn’t see me watching her enter her house. I even heard her, too. I wish I could say I was surprised by the mention of her being damaged goods. I wasn’t. I ran home, and didn’t bother to cover anything when I went inside. Ma was cooking something on the stove, and didn’t notice my state right away. “What’s cooking, Ma?”

“Holymotherfuckingshitballs!” I screamed when Rose, Saoirse, and the M&M’s jumped onto my bed. All three started cackling like insane witches. “What the hell?” “What kind of swearing was that?” Mina gasped. “The kind used when four people jump on my bed and take me by surprise! I repeat, what the hell!” I nudged Mal with my foot while pushing Rose away from me. She was kicking her feet in the air. “Girls’ night! I sent Kam away, and you have the four of us all to yourself.” “Why?” I shouldn’t be questioning her. I’ve missed my best friend since she started dating my brother. I’ve been feeling like a third wheel, so a girls’ night was welcome. Just the timing was suspicious. &nb

Rose texted me saying she wanted a girls’ night, and she was sending Kam over to keep him away. I told my ma, and she made plans to meet Aunt Nancy at the bar on Main Street that had pool tables. I don’t get small towns. They only have one Italian place, no McDonalds, but they’ve got three dive bars all on Main Street.At any rate, Kam arrived at my place, but he wasn’t alone. “What’s Horndog Harry doing here? I thought he bailed with his ma?” I asked when I opened my door to find Jeremy with Kam.“Screw you, Mactire. Not everyone can get lucky easily,” Jeremy grumbled as he pushed past me to ditch his stuff in the basement.I looked at Kam for an explanation. “His dad has custody this weekend, and he didn&rsq

“Hey, you’re Kimia, right?” I glanced over to the speaker. He was sitting next to me in Pre-Calculus. He was sort of cute. He had dark brown hair that was very curly. He didn’t have any product in it, so it was very fluffy. He didn’t have the muscles of a football player, and he smelled like basketballs and cut grass.“Yeah. Why?” I asked him.He shrugged. “Just wondering.” He paused for a minute, and I thought he would go back to ignoring me. “I’m Zack, by the way.”“Okay,” I said.Another minute later, “Hey, Kimia. What do you call a wizard who is good at calculus?”

Fuck! Fuck! Fuckety fuck fuck! Someone beat me to asking Kimi, and she’d said yes! Fuck! I’m okay, I’ll just ask someone and get into their group. It’ll be great. Combine that with my birthday party, and things will head in the right direction. Besides, Rose took me to Spring Formal last year, and then got together with Kam.Shit. Now I’m sounding like one of those “nice guys” I accused Jeremy of being. I had to check myself. Kimi looked happy that someone asked her. Kimi looked happy. I should be happy for Kimi. Damnit.“So, my birthday is coming up,” I said after school.Rose started bouncing. “What are you planning?”I looked at her lik

“Hey, Kimia,” I was back in math, and Zack was flirting again.“Shh. I’m concentrating,” I told him without looking up.He chuckled. “Why is it so sad that parallel lines have so much in common?”I rolled my eyes. “Because they’ll never meet. Now, shush!”A few minutes later, he poked me with his eraser, “Are you going to Nate’s party Friday?”I shrugged. I hadn’t thought about going. Nate had backed off a bit since kissing me, if you could call that a kiss. It was just a light brush of the lips. By my standards, that doesn’t count. At least it should count. I pu

“I really don’t understand why you read the crap you do,” Kimi’s angelic voice said as she floated into History.Rose followed her in. “I read it because I like it.”“Okay, but take that last CEO story you told me about. He basically rapes his wife, wants a divorce, then is pissed when she agrees to one. Where is the logic in that?” Kimi set her stuff down by her desk next to mine.“I would say an overinflated ego on the dick CEO?” I ventured. Kam snorted. I shouldn’t encourage this debate, but, hell! Sometimes it’s fun to watch the shit fly.Rose nodded. “That’s it exactly. Only when he realizes he’s not hurting he
