A week later...

Pamela's POV

The examination was over and we were waiting for our results to be released. However, I and my friends entered the Cafeteria for lunch and once again I had to witness one of the times Nathaniel sees me and sucks Belinda's face. They suit themselves, after all, bad boy goes with cheerleader.

Nathaniel had ignored me throughout the examination week and though I was relieved, I felt slightly bothered. Angela too had some sort of hidden demeanour in her and I was scared it might become real.

"Let's sit here." Angela suggested and we sat. We ate in silence for a while until Mackenna broke it.

"So guys listen up." She said and we looked at her.

"There's a club night this evening, wanna come?" she said.

"Yeah..this has been a hectic week for me." Angela sighed.

"Pamela, you coming?"She asked.

"Ehr, m not sure." I hesitated.

"Come on nothing bad will happen, we have your back besides we can't go without you and it's gonna be fun." Mackenna enticed.

After a while of hesitation, I gave in and they squealed. After lunch we went for our next periods.

Finally done going through the mall for hours, we got our outfits ready.

Angela decided wore a red bodycon dress. Mackenna choose to wear a black silky short skirt and a pink blouse while I made up my mind to wear and off shoulder wine colored dress.

Since my parents are not around, I had to beg Eugene a thousand times before he let me go.

"No." He said before I even completed.

"Pleaseeeeee please please pleaseee!" I wailed tugging him.

"Nuh uh." He muffled taking in a bite of ice cream. "Brain freeze." He groaned.

"I'll let you have my car for a day." I said.

"A month."

"Two weeks." I bargained.

"Make it three," He suggested.

"Two and a half." I pouted.

"Be back by nine." He narrowed his eyes and I squealee hugging him. I was glad because I didn't waste money on clothes for nothing.

I wore light makeup but applied a thick layer of red lipstick on my thin lips. I tied my hair into a braid of three strands and I wore some wedges and went downstairs to where Mackenna was waiting.

Eugene was sleeping soundly and not wanting him to wake up and change his mind, I went out quickly but quietly and I entered Mackenna's car. When she saw me, she gasped.

"What?..Do I look bad?" I asked sitting inside.

"No where near bad...guys are gonna be ogling at you." She said and I chuckled.

"You also look gorgeous." I complemented her.

"Mhmm" She looked at me for a while and took off my glasses.

"Hey, Mackenna I need those." I whined.

"Oh my God you look amazing.." She breathed out " You can see right?" She questioned.

"Yes but still.."

"You don't need these I'll give it to you tomorrow." She countered and despite my protests, she ignored me and drove to Angela's place. After complementing each other, we finally got there and we got down.

"So guys please, listen to me, don't take drinks from anyone..I mean anyone..no matter how persuasive they are." Mackenna warned and both of us nodded as we entered.

The place reeked of alcohol which made me nauseous a bit. We got a place and after Mackenna examined the water we ordered, we drank it.

I glanced over the place where teenagers were dancing and singing and others were just making out. Speaking of making out, I spotted Nathaniel and Belinda at a corner kissing. I wonder how those two like each other. I mean, it's not like I cared.

I groaned and there others turned to look at them.

"So when will those dimwitts stop eating their faces?"Mackenna asked disgusted.

"It's not like he's even committed." Angela commented.

"Let's stop talking about them,..who wants to dance?" Mackenna asked.

"I think I'll stay here." I stated.

"OK, suit yourself...but don't take drinks from anyone." Mackenna warned against as she went with Angela.I sat there awkwardly and a drunk guy who was probably in his early twenties approached me.

"Heyyyy,"He slurred.

"Um..hi." I greeted reluctantly and looked about ignoring him.

"Want a drink?" He offered and I shook my head.

"You sure 'bout that?" He persuaded again and I nodded cringing inwardly.

"Come on babe." He whined and he was about to touch my shoulder and I squirmed away. I got up and in the action he gripped my wrist.

"Please...leave my hand." I pleaded politely.

"Why babe?" He asked and stood in front of me.

"Leave her alone." Another guy with dirty blonde hair interfered. The drunk guy surrended and sauntered away.

"Thank you." I thanked shyly.

"You're welcome, may I have this dance in return?" He asked. I owe the guy and he seemed harmless and good looking.

But not as Nathaniel..just that Nathaniel is not that um..harmless.

He led me to the floor and we began to dance to the music and it felt like someone was watching me.

Nathaniel'sPOV

"Going for a drink don't me miss me much." She grinned kissing my cheek before she got up and left.

"Yeah don't come back." Arjun muttered and we all chuckled.

"Here you go man." Angelo offered me a glass of mojito. I stretched my hand to claim it and he chkled plopping next to me.

"You wish." He muttered and I rolled my eyes.

"Hey didn't your girlfriend say she had dumped you?" He asked

"I wish she meant it." I muttered.

"Aww, so that you can be with Pamela?" He asked.

"Heck no!" I interjected.

"Okay so that you at least try to be with her?" He smirked.

"why are you forcing her upon me?" I deadpanned.

"I'm not..it's just sad that youre starting to fall for her but your ego is contolling you."

"Youre drunk." I muttured refusing to think over his word.

"Drunk mind got sober thought.." He murmed. "But dude seriously, one day youre gonna regret not trying to get her." He sighed chugging down all the contents of his cobalt glass.

My mind urged me to think over why I was ignoring her for an entire wek. It felt like torture. But I really needed to study and she being on my mind was a hindrance. But at least, I was able to think less of her during my studies.

I stood up and walked over to the bartender for a drink. While I placed my order, I looked over the people dancing, lauging and singing. I spotted Angela and Mackenna and as if on instinct, I lookle over for Pamela as well. I spotted someone in a wine dress.

Was that...Pamela? I asked myself looking closer.

Never have I ever seen her like this...she looked so much beautiful and breathtaking. My heart was pumping really fast and it was so infuriating that I couldn't control it.

But what was she doing here? In such a dangerous place?

The dress she wore peeped out her curves and flawless smooth legs. But something was wrong, it was either me or her. My problem was that some random guy was dancing with her and he wrapped his filthy hands around her lower waist and she seemed uncomfortable.

He even tried to kiss her neck but she ducked her head away and that was the the last straw for me.

"Yo, here you go." The bartender said.

"Keep it for me." I muittered, then I trekked towards the guy and tore him away from Pamela and shoved her behind me.

"What the heck man, get away from her." He said.

"You get the fuck out of here before I beat the shit out of you." I warned.

"But I was dancing with her." He protested.

"But she's with me." I countered. The guy walked away and I turned to Pamela was trembling behind me. I stared down into her eyes.

She had taken of her glasses and that was when I saw how stunningly gorgeous she was. She looked so beautiful just as always and-

Focus Nathaniel, don't let her looks distract you!

"So you're now a slut?..Dressed like this to seduce horny men?" I asked using that as an opportunity to look at her from top to toe.

"N..no..he saved me from s..someone who was harrs..harassing me." She stammered and her eyes moistured a bit.

"And you allowed this one to dance with you so that he can carress you?" I asked and stared at her deliciously tempting lips and I wished I could kiss the hell out of her there and then.

She frowned a little bit and heaved and tiny sigh.

"Um..I gotta go." She muttered.

"Who brought you her?" I asked gripping her upper arm.

"Ma..Mackenna.." and just as we spoke of the she-devil, she appeared.

"Get away from her!" Mackenna approached us with Angela and I let go of her arm.

"Are you okay?" Angela asked and she nodded hugging her,

"What did you say to her?" She glared at me probably because Pamela's head was hung low with her lips pursed.

"Why would you bring her to such a place?" I asked annoyed.

"So that she can live her life where you don't torture her...come on Nathaniel, go back to that bitch you were sucking her face." Mackenna seethed as they took her away. I rolled my eyes and glanced at Pamela who gave me an apologetic look before she left.

I ran my fingers through my hair in frustration and walked back to the bartender for my drink, only to find out that he had chugged it too.

"Man what the heck?" I growled. "I askes you to keep it."

"I did." He defended himself.

"Where?"- I asked annoyed.

"Here bro." He rubbed his stomach and i scoffed going back to te guys.

"Where's Angelo?" I asked plopping down.

"Mehh, he was around that new hot blonde that came to our school...where were you?" Arjun asked wriggling his brow.

"Away from you." I rolled my eyes.

"How kind of you." He whined.

"That, I am." I smirked.

After clubing for a little while, I left the place with the aim of going home and when I headed to my car, I saw a familiar guy drag Pamela in an unconscious state.

Some friends she's got.

"Hey!" I rushed over to the guy and tackled him to the ground.

After beating up the guy to almost unconsciousnes, I carried Pamela and took her into my car and decided to take her to my house.

***

The lights were off in the hall and all the way upstairs. But the light from the porch managed to peek into the room, making up easy fir me to climb up the stairs to my room without waking anyone up

When I layed her on my bed, she was still holding my neck. Our faces were inches apart. I made a move to close the distance, because her lips wee what I was craving for but I restrained myself because I didn't want it to be like I was taking advantage of her vulnerability.

I gently laid her down and removed her shoes.

Slightly irritated, I laid be side her, creating a distance between as my thoughts drifted back to the club.

What was she doing there anyways? Dress to kill, unknowingly as many of the guys I caught couldn't take their fucking eyes of her until I glared at them.

I also thought about Angelo's words. What he also said could be true, but I never want that to happen. Ever.

I turned and faced the girl laying beside me. My eyes fell on her lips and I licked mine and gulped hard to prevent myself from losing control.

"Damnit." I muttered when her lips parted. If I could just lean in and brush my lips on hers..damn..Just a single brush can solve half of my teen issues.

I groaned and turned the lights off and turned over myself to sleep with much difficulty since a member off me didn't stop pestering my brain to think if certain hormonal scenarios.

***

I heard some hoarse voice beside me and I opened my eyes slightly.

"Please, no! Let me go! I beg you please!" She begged. in her sleep. Her sweet voice was now husky probably because she was screaming.

I shifted to her side and wrapped my hands around her. She was shaking like a leaf but she later calmed down and buried her face in my chest.

Her small self was so warm and soft, almost like my pillow. I swallowed my dry throat when she nuzzled her nose in my chest and her soft snores filled the room.
