Charlies POV

Nyx isn't a party girl, but she is a drinker and by god can she drink a lot, I've never seen her with a hangover, and I'm sure she drinks more than the entire high school combined.

It actually amazes me. She's five foot and weighs ninety something pounds but can hold her alcohol better than anyone I know.

That being said after Friday night she went home Saturday morning and got her school uniform along with everything else and decided she'd stay at mine the whole weekend.

What she didn't expect was for it to be pouring down with rain as we got to school on Monday morning.

"Every time I straighten my hair it rains" she huffs out, getting her backpack on ready for making a dash to the entrance.

"Wait here" i signalled with my hands.

After watching her spend two hours getting ready for school this morning, I couldn't let her ruin her makeup walking from my car to the school entrance. I stepped out the car, shrugging off my denim jacket, opening the car door for her, i held up my jacket over her head as a roof to shield her from the rain.

She stepped out, smiling at me and laughing.

"Such a gentleman" she laughed as we speed walked to the schools double doors.

It was hard to ignore the stares of the entire student body, and that was coming from me so it had to be hard for Nyx.

"More like knight in shining armour"

Making it to the school, i threw my now wet jacket into my locker and shoved some books in there too, Nyx just a few lockers away from me.

"We have gym right?" I ask

"Yeah, dodgeball" she groans, rolling her eyes so far back into her head "see you in class big boy" she laughs, walking down the hallway, making her way to the locker rooms.

"No wonder you're basically fuck buddies with her" Noah grins at me, slamming my locker door shut to look at me.

"I'm not fucking her Noah, shut the fuck up" i shove his shoulder

"Yeah right"

"Whatever" i roll my eyes.

"She drank us all under the table bro" Noah says, shock still evident in his voice.

"Did you expect anything less?" I question, shaking my head with a dazed smile, thinking back to Friday night.

The boys locker rooms are a place full of sweat, blood and home to all the rumours and facts about the females at school.

Usually it was just about how hot the girls are or how good they are in bed.

Never did I expect the topic to be about Nyx.

"She's dull but she's hot, i'd tap that"

I couldn't recognise the voice of who was talking until Oliver sauntered towards Noah and I.

"You'd know whats she like, is she a freak in the sheets?" Oliver questioned.

"Wouldn't know" I've heard them talk about girls like this for years and its never bothered me as much as it is right now.

"I'll just have to get some for myself to find out then" Oliver practically shouted, the rest of the boys beside Noah and I began cheering for him.

I clenched my fists in anger, holding back from punching him in the throat.

I never did understand why people called her dull, I couldn't disagree more but that's probably because i know her. I know that she's fun to be around, that she likes to race and doesn't care if i do blow from time to time although she does worry about my health because of it. She's everything everyone wants to be and doesn't even know it.

"Do you think she'd put out?" - "obviously bro, she's got quite the reputation now you know" a series of claps and whistles followed the last bold statement of one of the dickheads in the room.

Even though Nyx tries to act like the rumours don't bother her, i can tell that they're wearing her thin. She's not one to care if people call her a slut but it does bother her when people don't mind their business.

I could tell that she just needed time to breathe and to get away from everyone and everything, and even though the weather wasn't the best i knew she'd like to visit the beach.

I grabbed her smoothie a little earlier than usual so i had time to swing by her place and grab a back pack of hers, stuffing it with a towel i took out of their bathroom and a hairbrush i found on the side.

I began rooting through her already messy draws for a change of clothes, deciding that a tshirt and cycling shorts would suffice, also grabbing whatever bikini I could find.

She really needs to sort through her clothes.

I made my way downstairs being stopped by both her dogs, wagging their tails at me and giving me their best puppy face, whether they were doing it on purpose or not.

"You want to come do you?

Unfortunately the dogs understood what i had said and began to get even more excited. Luckily they're well behaved dogs so a leash wouldn't be necessary. That and the beach is usually empty.

"Come on then" i said in a high pitched voice that I wouldn't want anyone else to hear. They followed me out to my car, both hopping into the backseats.

By time i had drove back to school and made my way to the entrance i had less than a minute before the bell rang, just enough time to run through the hallways to her classroom.

I ignored the stares of the couple of students already out of lesson and doubled over, taking deep breaths to compose myself.

I'm not even unfit, i really shouldn't be this out of breath. The bell had rung seconds ago and students came flooding out of classrooms, and i waited with the smoothie in hand for Nyx to come out.

"Come on munchkin, we've got places to be" i slung my arm over her shoulders and guided her back through the corridors to the entrance of the school.

"Where are we going" she said, snatching the smoothie out of hand, giving me my favourite warm smile.

"You'll see" i said whilst ruffling her hair.

"All i can see is people looking at us funny" She swatted my hand away.

"Then lets give them something to look at" i dropping my arm down to her waist and wrapped it around her, holding onto her hip whilst bringing my mouth down to her ear, my teeth grazing her earlobe and i could feel the shivers run down her body.

Nyx had stopped walking and pulled me towards her and looped her arms around my neck, bringing her lips up to my cheek, giving me a soft kiss on the cheek.

I was just as shocked as the students around us, a blush crept up onto my cheeks and a laugh erupted Nyx, she spun and her heel and skipped down the steps at the front of the school and walked through the car park leaving me to jog to catch up with her.

"Are those my dogs in your car?" She turned to me with an eyebrow cocked up questioningly.

"Maybe" i smiled at her sheepishly "they wanted to come with"

"Where are we going" she slid into the passenger seat with Prince jumping into her lap.

"The beach"

Skipping the rest of the school day was a good idea, Nyx seemed exhausted, emotionally drained from school and was asleep for almost the entirety of the car journey.

Once we had arrived, i gave Nyx some privacy to change before doing the same. We just floated on in the water, staring at the sky for a while whilst the dogs layed in the sun. Something we tended to do often, until we got cold and decided now would be the time to get out and get changed.

We had sat on the sand with both the dogs after changing, i pulled out a small baggie and rolling papers and rolled a joint us for the both of us to share, i held it out for Nyx and she placed it between her lips, I pulled out my lighter and lit it up for her.

She took a deep drag and blew out the smoke, a soft smile on her lips as she passed it back to me. She craned her neck up to the sky and her smile widened.

We smoked until we was probably a little too faded. But the care free smile on both of our faces seem worth it to me.

"It's cold" Nyx shivered and moved closer towards me, wrapping her arms around herself.

"Yeah, its dropping cold and dark now" i stood up, extending my hand out to help her up which she graciously took.

I didn't expect her to pull me into a hug.

"Thank you for this"

"For what?" I asked, wrapping my arms around her small frame.

"For everything" she nuzzled her face into my chest and held me tighter.

Sometimes Nyx could be one of the most intimidating girls i know, sometimes she was so shy it was heartbreaking. But this Nyx, the sentimental one, was one of my favourites. Nyx has always been the type of friend to tell her friends that she loves them as often as she can.

And thats one of the things i loved about her the most.
