Chapter 22
I woke up slowly. Ugh school. I rolled over and felt warm breath fan my face. I opened my eyes to see Nathan smirking down at me.
"What the fuck!?" I shouted as I fell out of bed. "Ow..." I mumbled rubbing my butt.
"You have a really bad memory you know that?" Nathan chuckled sitting up topless in my bed. Sorry wait...topless? Why yes. My boyfriend was topless in my bed. "Your brother let me stay last night."
"Oh yeah. Sorry I'm just so used to waking up a loner." I smiled standing up rubbing my butt.
"Come here," Nathan grabbed my waist and pulled me onto his lap.
"You made me hurt my butt." I complained.
"I'll kiss it better later," he smirked and for some reason that made the butterflies stir in my stomache.
"Deal?" I giggled.
"Deal." He confirmed kissing the top of my head.
"I'm going to go shower." I smile quick as I jumped off him. I ran into my bathroom and shut the door behind me before stopping down and stepping into the luke warm water. I savoured the feeling before getting out and wrapping a towel round my body and emerging.
"You can shower now." I said as I crossed my room to the cupboard.
"Won't be long." I heard him say before he shut the door to the bathroom. I looked out the window glancing to the dry roads and the scorching sun, looks boiling. I grabbed some dark denim high waited jeans and a grey belly top and slung them on along with my black gladiator sandals.
"Hey do you have a new tube of toothpaste?" He asked. I swung my eyes up to see Nathan with a bare chest and the white cotton towel hanging dangerously off his hips. Blushing a little at the sight of him, I rummaged around in a draw till I found some.
"Thanks baby," he smiled. I couldn't believe Bellamy let him stay, I mean nothing happened last night but I still didn't expect Bellamy to allow this. I quickly straightened out my hair before joining Nathan at the sink to brush my teeth.
"Aren't you suspended?" I asked with a mouthful of toothpaste.
"I was, but mum managed to pull a few strings." He nodded.
"Your mothers impressive." I giggled.

The morning past quite quickly and so did the lessons at school. We were sitting in history for our third period until the class was interrupted with a knock at the door. Our substitute teacher Mr Howard beckoned our visitors to come in. In strolled our headmaster with a few students dressed in black blazers and black ties with a emerald green crest on the left side.
"May I have your attention please!" Mr Phillip shouted over the murmurs of our class. "As some of you may already recognise the uniform our guests are wearing today-"
"All too well..." I heard Nathan mutter.
"We have a few visitors to do some workshops this afternoon promoting Havier Private School. I would like you all to respect them and listen carefully." Mr Phillips nodded stepping aside so more guests could enter the room. "Boys, if you'd like to introduce yourself one by one.". I rolled my eyes, this could be a long process.
"Jeremy." One stepped forward.
"Rue."
"Matsuda."
"Elliot." The names went on for a while till the last two.
"I'm Mason." A familiar voice spoke.
"And I'm Kendall." I snapped my eyes to meet their own gaze darting between Nathan and I.
"Fuck sake." I muttered under my breath.
***
"So how does it feel knowing we're taking your next class brother?" Kendall teased Nathan. It was lunch and the private school kids were allowed to explore, hence we were all sitting outside on the school field. It was Grace, Andrew, Taylor, Kendall, Mason, Nathan and I.
"Shut the fuck up." Nathan rolled his eyes, he was hating this.
"Gretch?" Kendall turned the question to me.
"Weird as hell." I replied "and I hope you know that I'm going to play up." I smirked.
"They we'll just have to slap your arse to pay attention." Mason raised an eyebrow.
"Excuse me?" Nathan glared daggers at his brother.
"No one is touching my arse okay? Nathan already hurt my butt." I grumbled looking up at him since I wad sitting in between his legs.
"Really!" Kendall whistled. I mentally slapped myself for saying that's as I replayed it in my mind it sounded kinda wrong.
"Your gross." I stared at him as he winked back. "Good luck with him Taylor, your going to need it."
"I second that." Nathan agreed.
"So what are you guys actually doing this afternoon?" Grace asked entwining her fingers with Andrew.
"Wait and see." Mason chuckled.
"I'm really worried..." I muttered glaring at the grinning brothers.
***
"So gentlemen if you'd like to take over." Mr Phillips nodded to Mason, Kendall and a few others before leaving a whole class with them alone.
"So can everyone help push the chairs and tables back." Mason asked. Everyone obliged and stood up to begin shoving chairs back. Sending an odd glance to Nathan we stood and pushed our seats to the back of the class. Unfortunately for Taylor she wasn't in this class, it was only Grace, Andrew, Nathan and I.
"So at our school we have ballroom dance classes." Mason grinned, totally shining with confidence. "So we're partnering you up and teaching you to dance!"
"Goddamnit..." I muttered.
"Can I have a volunteer?" Kendall spoke up. A few girls perked up immediately at the request, I rolled my eyes, if Taylor was here she'd beat the shit out of them.
"Gretch, how about you?" Kendall smirked stepping through the crowd.
"No." I stared at him.
"Great! We have a volunteer!" Kendall smirked grabbing my hand and dragging me to the front. I felt Nathan tense and his intense stare on our backs.
"I fucking hate you." I whispered.
"Love you too." He chuckled.
"So can I have the following pairs!" Mason shouted out. He proceeded to call out names until he mentioned Nathan's. "Nathan and Bella." I locked my eyes onto the bitch who was smirking at me.
"No way." I complained moving over to Mason. "Can you change Nathan's partner?"
"No can do." He smiled putting the papers down. I cursed under my breath as I folded my arms over my chest. Its not fair, Andrew and Grace were together.
"The man takes the woman's waist and pulls her towards him." Kendall said as he placed his hands on my waist and pulled me into his hard toned chest.
"You know your treading on thin ice..." I murmured.
"I know." He smirked.
"The woman should wrap their arms round the mans neck." Kendall said. I hesitated before wrapping my arms round his neck. I glanced to Nathan at the back who was staring straight at his brother and I straight at Bella who had a smug look on her face.
"Your going to have to restrain me from punching her...." I glared daggers at her.
"Now, now." He tutted.
The rest of the hour dragged on but we had a little fun and a laugh. The bell signaled for the last lesson of the day.
"Your both going to be on Nathan's hit list for the next month, so good luck." I warned as he walked over to us.
"What the fuck was that about!" Nathan narrowed his eyes at Kendall.
"Dude it was a dance class." He held his hands up in surrender.
"Excuse me a minute." I muttered as I headed over to Bella. "Just to get this straight you touch my boyfriend again I won't hesitate to knock you out."
"Oh yeah lovely boy. Very chatty. I might have to get to know him." She smirked leaving class and leaving me a pile of raging hormones.
I walked back over to the guys and narrowed my eyes at Nathan a little.
"Don't pull anything like that again." Nathan warned as he wrapped his arms round me.
"Apparently you got quite cosy with Bella." I raised an eyebrow at him.
"What?" He asked.
"If you don't want me to murder her, just stay away from her please..." I said.
"Gretch, I told you I love you and no one else." He stared into my eyes as I smiled back. He leaned down and crushed his lips against mine.
"Get a room!" Mason rolled his eyes moving away gathering his stuff.
"Is Bellamy picking you up today?" Nathan pulled away asking me.
"Yeah, but your still coming round later right?" I asked my eyes perking up.
"Yeah I'll leave with my brothers, grab a few bits at home and then come round." He explained holding my tightly.
"Okay." I nodded.
"Hey Gretch you coming to English lit or what?" Taylor asked from the door.
"Coming." I smiled, I gave Nathan a real quick kiss and left the room.
"So what did you do?" Taylor asked ask she pulled out a science book. "Can I go to my locker quick?"
"Sure and they did dancing." I shrugged.
"I had the history workshop." She rolled her eyes and she unlocked her locker.
"Sucks to be you." I laughed, as I leaned my back against the row of lockers. I glanced down the hallway and saw Max, Toby and some other blonde dude but I couldn't see his face properly along with a bunch of jocks.
"Can we hurry up?" I asked "Max is fast approaching..."
"Two secs." She blurted. I nodded before turning my attention back to the crowd approaching us. That's when I saw him. His golden floppy hair fell over his emerald eyes as he chuckled at something.
Daniel.
He was here.
In the school.
I bolted from the hallway and to the nearest girls bathroom. I slammed a cubicle door closed and started to violently throw up down the toilet as all the memories began to flood into my mind. I slumped onto the floor as tears began to roll down my cheeks.
"Gretch?" Taylor called as she entered the toilets.
"I don't feel well..." I dried my eyes and flushed the toilet. I unlocked the door and stepped out and sighed heavily.
"I'm calling Nathan." Taylor rushed as she dug around in her pocket.
"No!" I cried. "Don't call him."
"Then I call your brother." She said as she dialed Bellamy's number. I couldn't manage to say anything.
All I could think about was Daniel.
