Chapter 7 NO.7

Issabelle POV:

I sat next to Ryder in isolation. Bored as hell.

"We should've went--" Ryder starts.

"Quiet" the teacher snaps, glaring at Ryder.

He smirked, putting his hands up in surrender before looking around the room.

Kian sat in here, next to Ryder and some other girls and boys were in here too.

"I have to go but I would be back shortly" the teacher says before leaving the room.

Girls were all huddled around the front of the classroom, gossiping and I saw a boy approach me.

"Hello" he says as he sat at the empty table next to me.

"Hi" I smile politely.

"Why are you in here?" He asked curiously, tilting his head making his hair flop over to one side.

That was quite cute.

" I was late, how about you?" I ask.

"I didn't turn up to detention" he shrugs.

He was cute, he had brown hair and brown eyes with a few freckles. He had glasses on and sharp features.

Not as cute as Kian though.

"Your name is Issabelle, right?" He asked with a small smile.

"Yes, I'm sorry but I don't know who you are" I say sheepishly and he grinned.

"Nathan but you can call me Nate" he says and i smile.

"So, are you aware that your boyfriend is glaring daggers at me?" He asked with a smirk.

"I don't have a boyfriend" I say, but looking around to see who is glaring at Nate.

When he saw me, his eyes softened and he smiled. I returned the smile that make my stomach flutter before looking back at Nate.

"Wow, seems like you melted his heart of ice" Nate says making me laugh.

"I don't know what you are on about" I say because I didn't.

"Well put it this way, he looked at you like how I look at my friends when I want the last slice of pizza." He says and I bat my eyelashed.

"Oh, how romantic" I gush before we both burst out laughing.

"On the bright side, he is sexy as hell" he winks and I shrug.

"My preference would be Leonardo Dicaprio" I say and he rolled his eyes.

"So you like titanic?" He asked.

"The movie is okay but I mean his character in general" I shrug.

"Me too, he is hot" he says, his voice getting a little louder.

"I know although I would say he is more gorgeous than anything else" I shrug and he shook his head laughing.

"What?" I ask and he leaned closer to me before whispering, "I said all of that to get your boyfriend jealous"

I look up at him.

"What?" I ask.

"I did it to get him jealous, although Leonardo Dicaprio is really hot" he says.

"He isn't my boyfriend" I say again and he winked.

"Do you want me to be your boyfriend?" He asked and I bat my eyes lashes again

"Oh really?" I ask, playing along with his game.

"No, sorry but I swing the other way" he laughs and I laugh with him.

"Wait, you aren't going to move away or think I'm disgusting?" He asked and I'm taken aback.

"What?" I ask.

"When people find out I'm gay they look at me like I'm not human" he shrugs although I can see how hurt he was.

"No, I would never judge someone for their sexuality. Plus, you're a great person--"

"You just met me" he interrupted.

"--who I just met, yes but you have good intentions. Except when you call him my boyfriend" I finish.

Although, I really wouldn't mind being his girlfriend.

Wait, what am I saying?

"So you don't like him, no? So just now you didn't look at him with heart eyes?" He teased and I punched his shoulder.

"Dick" I mutter.

"Hey! Don't say that. You are meant to be my girlfriend, my best friend!" He pouts and I laugh.

"Stop putting on a show. You know I'm not dating you or anyone. And you know I just met you" I say and he shrugged.

"So, we have the same interest for the hottie, Leonardo" he says before whispering, "and we both think Kian is hot" he adds, "that's an immediate friendship" he says.

"There are a lot of people who like him, doesn't mean I'm going to be friend a with them. What it they are a murderer?" I ask and he shrugged.

"I'll die happy"

"Hey Iz" Kian says, sitting on the table infront and turning back.

"Hey" I say with a small smile.

"Are you okay?" He asked and I nodded.

"Are you?" I ask and he smiled.

"I'm good"

"The love in the air is suffocating me!" Nate shouts sudddenly making me and Kian Jump.

"What the fuck? " I ask as he shouts it very close to me. "You dick, you're going to make me deaf" I glare at him.

"Sorry, but look at those lovebirds" he points to some couple behind me and Kian.

Oh... I thought he was talking about us.

As if reading my mind, he smirked at me.

"It would've been you but he isn't your boyfriend" his smirk widens.

"Shut up Nathaniel" I say, smirking at his gobsmacked expression.

"You know only people I love get to call me that" he says with a smirk.

"Okay, is that your way of telling me to carry on calling you Nathaniel?" I ask and he glared.

"I hate you"

"Love you too" I smirk.

"Is anyone else confused by their friend ship?" Kian asked and Ryder nodded.

"What friendship?" I ask innocently.

"Yes, this is love baby!" He shouts and I laugh.

"It's not. It's the opposite actually" I grin and he glared.

"Aw, it's okay baby. Don't be embarrassed" he coos and I roll my eyes.

"I can't help it, I'm always embarrassed when I'm with you" I say, batting my eyelashes.

"I seem to have that affect on people" he laughs and I laugh with him.

"Okay, I'm confused" Kian said.

"By what?" I ask and he stared into my eyes for a while before smiling.

"Are you and Nathan friends? Or not?" He asked, keeping his eyes on me.

"We are more than friends" Nathan laughed as Kian's eyes lit up with fury before he glared.

"We're best friends" Nate said making Ryder and I laugh and Kians expression.
