7 End Of A Beginning

Nate

"Can we take a night? We need to rest one day without worries." Xavier asks, Lansing back in his chair. "Alright. My house, tomorrow." Brooklyn says. After everything, I'm glad I have a girl like Brooklyn. Different from everything I've ever had, but maybe cause none of them were gonna work. "Need a ride?" I ask Brooklyn. "Yes please." She yawns. I grab her hand and we make our way on my motorcycle. I help her up and I get on. She wraps her arms around my waist ever so tightly and we take off.

I drop her off at her house but she stops when she gets down. "Nate... Do you mind if you can stay a few minutes? I don't wanna be in my house alone..." she puts a hand on her other arm. "Sure." I say. I park my bike in her empty garage and we make our way in her room. She stays up reading a book as I'm on my phone watching viewtube. We lie on the same bed and I have one arm wrapped around her shoulder. I look at her. She just looks so beautiful. She turns to look at me and smiles. I stroke her curly brown hair and kiss her. She puts a hand on my neck and moves over on top of me. I run my hand through her hair and the other on her waist.

Brooklyn

How he touches me though... He doesn't even realize yet he's making my whole body turn to jelly. He puts a hand underneath my shirt and I let out a quiet whimper. Awesome, I'm already screwing this up. The point is I don't know how to be with a bad boy like Nate Miller.

I wake up on a messy bed with Nate. His hands still wrapped around my bare skin. I get up and get changed and I see a note on the table. Looks like it had been there for a few days now. "Going to Alaska for a crime scene, be back home soon. Love, Mom and Dad" the note had said. Soon ended up being later. How long does one crime scene take to solve? As I get my backpack I hear Nate wake up. "Rise and shine" I smile. He stretches and sits up, running a hand through his hair. "Good morning, now let's get to school. We're late enough." I say looking at the time. It's 9:40. Funny enough that the project is due today at the end of the day. Nate and I worked a long time on it so there isn't a single flaw.

Nate

We show up at school and take a seat in Mr.Arnolds class. We got there right on time, passing period came when we arrived. All of us stand up, including the backstabbing princess, Alice. It was mostly Brooklyn and I doing the talking. By mostly, I mean only.

We sit back down at our seats as the next people come up to show their literature project. Then it hit me, this project started everything. It brought us all together.

Six Months Later

Brooklyn

It's the day of The Winter Ball. Mina is together with Xavier now, Nate and I have differences, but as long as we love each other we both know it will work. Alice and Zayne has a few minor setbacks, and the five of us are friends. Yea, The six of us is no longer, but who knows. Maybe one day I'll forgive and forget. I wake up at 5:00 next to Nate... Another long night let's say, and only have two hours for makeup, hair, accessories, and to adjust the dress. I start off with hair and curl it. Then move on to my makeup. I make a natural look and put on this dress. It's long and flowy, in a shade of nude pink. The top has pink and white flowers lined along the neck and off shoulder part, and I'm just happy to be sharing my first prom with Nate and my friends.

I fix Nates tux and feel so hyped. My parents met Nate over the summer. My dad likes him, but my mother is not so sure. As Nate and I go down the long pathway of my house, we see a limo. I laugh and look down, hanging on to my dress. The windows roll down and we see Xavier, Zayne, And Mina. With my arm wrapped around Nates', I look to him and give him a quick kiss before we go down.

We enter the limo and just talk about how crazy it was six months ago, how we've all changed in ways since we met and how well we've matured.

Mina

I'm very happy with Xavier. Though, I never expected high school to be like this, but it turned into a fairytale with a good ending for me. A slow dance song comes up and Nate, Brooklyn, Xavier and I, dance next to each other. As we turn to the side I see Brooklyn winking at me, mouthing: go for it. Cause I hadn't kissed Xavier yet. It's still a newly relationship. I look at Xavier and wrap my arms around him as he puts his hands on my waist. He leans forward and kisses me. This is perfect. Xavier is one of a kind, just like me. He never cared that I'm different from everyone cause I'm Pilipino. And I'm glad I have my other friends behind my back.

Nate

While I hug her I smell the same smell I always do. It always soothes me in many ways. "Hey Nate?" Brooklyn says. "Yes, Brook?" I reply. "I love you." She says. I lose my breath for a moment. "I love you too." I kiss her on her forehead. We still have spring yet to come again, and we also have the next years ahead of us. I feel like there's an end to something, I can't tell what though. Until next spring, another story unravels.
