Chapter#5 Kill to Be in Your Position

I was sitting in the living room, switching through channels.

I woke up early that morning and tried hard to fall asleep again. After continuously rolling over the sides for a good half an hour, I decided to get up and change and wait for the right time to leave for school.

Now, I was sitting in there, with the remote control in my hands, trying to find something worthy to watch.

I heard the door open and Trevor walked out.

"Morning"

He grunted in response.

"You up so early?" he managed to croak in his sleepy voice.

"Yeah couldn't sleep well last night" I said.

"How much time left for you to leave?" he asked

" Still got 30 minutes. Why?"

"I was wondering if I could drop you off" He looked up.

Really? Well it had been a while since me and my brother had too much time together. We were the only siblings. Mum was usually busy with Beauty Salon and my dad's a doctor. I guess that explains him being unusually busy.

Since they were at work, Trevor and I used to stay up late and talk about stuff. He was protective like most elder brother's, not to mention the amount of cockiness his big head was full of. He used to act like a sister who would gossip with me when I needed. Since he went to uni, we never really spent much time together.

Currently he was with us because he accidently broke his leg while biking with his mates and the administration of the university had agreed to give him a month off for that.

Now he was in a better situation. At least he wasn't limping.

" Sure"I said.

And he went back to his room, not before grabbing an apple from the fridge.

Let me tell you, my brother never stops eating.

Like you hate food

'My conscience really knows me hella better than I do myself'

.................

After 10 minutes, Trevor was out of his room.

"Hey would you mind preparing a peanut butter sandwich? I'm too hungry"

I frowned and walked to the kitchen. Grabbing bread and peanut butter jar, I started to spread the semi liquid on the bread and smoothed it with knife.

I made one for myself after realizing how less I ate the night before.

I walked back to living room.

Trevor finished the sandwich in 3 bites. 'He really was hungry'

He waited for me to finish mine and then we walked towards his car.

I sat on the front seat while he turned on the ignition and then he drove.

" Trev, how's your leg?"

I asked.

"Better" he said while patting his thigh.

"I got it hit accidently twice and it hurt a lot. I consulted the doctor and he said that it was no big deal that I just need to take care and take pain killer pills."

I just nodded.

" So how's it at uni? Did you find someone special?" I wriggled my eyebrows and he glanced at me and then frowned.

"Nah. All the girls are same actually. Seriously if you weren't my sister I would have dated you Ni."

I chuckled at this.

Typical Trevor.

"How's high school Natalie?"

I started to battle over my thoughts, deciding whether to tell Trevor about Mike or not.

"High school's...... good"

"You didn't sound enthusiastic" he said

"Am I supposed to?"

He kept on driving and just smiled.

"Prom season's here isn't it?" he looked at me and passed a smirk.

"Yeah...?" I said, questionably.

"So... you planning something?"

"No"

"Seriously Natalie?" he passed me a confused look.

I just smiled weakly.

"Yeah I'm serious"

He continued looking at the road when he suddenly said,

"Do you like someone?"

He knows it

'but how?'

I don't know... Joshua?

'Should I tell Trevor?'

Well I can't help you with that my friend

'Ugghhh!!'

"Well I do, kind of..." I said quietly

"Kind of? You mean you're not sure about the feelings?"

"Yeah something... like that"

I sighed.

"There you go" Trevor said.

He slowly pressed the clutch and the car came to a halt just beside the school.

"Hey Trev?"

"Yeah?"

"Can I ask you something?" I turned back towards him.

"Yeah?"

"You dressed up to drop me off or are you going somewhere?"

I was pretty surprised that my brother dressed up just to drop off his lill sis.

"No, you're not that lucky Natalie" he clicked his tongue.

"I need to go see someone." He added with a smile.

"Woah, you are smiling so widely Trev! Is there something I don't know of?"

"Nah."

"You just told me that you haven't found any girl lately?"

"I'm trying to find one actually" he looked down.

My bro deserved a real good girlfriend. He's got a gentleman personality, not to mention the good looks. My brother is undeniably handsome and I wouldn't deny that.

Anyway, wasn't it a little weird for date at 7:45 in the morning?

"Good luck then bro!" I waved at him and he drove away.

I faced the school.

"Hmph"

Another day of school.

Another day to face Mike.

Another day to earn glares from the Queen Bee. (She'd been passing me glares since Mike drove me home)

I walk towards my locker to fetch books for Calculus.

Just when I was about to shut the locker, I heard someone just behind me.

"Hey what the hell do you think you're doing?" Stephanie said in her thin, piercing voice.

I turned around to meet glares from her and her girls.

Laura was standing behind her, smirking at me and Linda stared at me with a bored expression.

"What do you mean?"

"Don't be try to act like smarty pants, you know what she means" Linda piped up.

"Excuse me, if you are here to create another drama to add into your famous high school moments, I'm afraid I don't have time for that, I've got my class in 10 minutes" I waved my hand to tell her move away.

She didn't budge.

I turned to the other side and started walking when someone grabbed me from the back of my shirt.

What the actual fudge?!

Laura pulled me back towards Stephanie and she was practically giving me death glares.

"Look" she pressed her freshly black painted, well-shaped nail to my chest.

"You don't try to be smart. You think you can mess with the Queen Bee? I saw you that day in the parking lot with Mike Samuels. I spared you for that. Now hardly a day had passed since Drake moved to this school and you managed to convince him to invite you to his party, when he didn't even talk to me about that!" she shrieked.

"Geez, calm down woman, besides.... Who the hell is Drake?!"

She stared at me in confusion then her expression was back to looking like an ugly pig.

"Don't try to mess with me. The hot guy who moved at this school yesterday!"

Oh. What the heck have I gotta do with that ass hole?! I told mum already I didn't want to go.

I opened my mouth in protest but the closed it.

'Let's play a little with the Queen Bee'

"Ohhh, that?" I clasped my hands to mouth dramatically.

"Well looks like you are not lucky enough" I blinked my eyes.

"Shut up! Who do you think you are bitch!? He's my fucking boyfriend!" she pinched my arm.

"Ow" I started rubbing my arm.

"Of course! For your kind information, he's my fudging neighbour! His parents invited me. I don't give a crap about him! You can have your boyfriend. I won't eat his face"

I shoved her hand away from my shoulder and walked away to my class.

Thank god I still had 2 minutes until the class started.

I quickened my pace towards the class.

Then I remembered.

Mike was in my math class.

Could this day get any worse?

I entered the class and sat on my seat. Luckily, Mike wasn't there yet.

Slowly students started entering the class. After a minute or so, Mike walked in and we locked eyes. I turned away from him and looked around the class.

'Ugh where's Melanie!'

I impatiently waited for her.

"Hey!" I heard her.

Thank god!

"Hi Mel. I was just waiting for you"

She was just about to take a seat a with me when a guy came and stood by her.

I looked up to see who it was.

Jack Hunter. Woah. He was just one of the famous guys at school. And yeah, a part of the famous group of school too.

You must be wondering that how big is this group of guys. Well, this famous group consisted of the hottest guy of school. Some were captains of different teams in sports and some were just famous for their looks.

Jack was the baseball team captain.

" Hey what's your name girl?" he gestured Melanie.

"M-Melanie"

"Well Melanie, would you mind if I invite you to a party?" he said. Oh god, where do they get such courage to ask a girl like that?

"S-sure"

'Stop stuttering Mel for god's sake!'

"Well there's a party my best friend's holding, I was wondering if you'd like to come. We could hang out"

He explained the address.

I learnt who he was referring to.

"Oh, Jack I guess I'm already invited. This bestie of mine..." she gestured towards me.

Jack looked in my direction and smiled.

'These guys are no less than Calvin Klein models.'

I smiled back and nodded.

"Well she's a neighbour to Drake Parkinson. His parents invited us all to the party tonight" she finished.

"Oh that's great, we'll then hang out" he winked to Melanie. A pink tinge appeared on her cheeks.

Not a sooner had arrived when she was just about sit, Jack came back.

This time he talked to me.

"Um, would you be kind enough to let me borrow you best friend for the lesson?" he asked.

Ooh. Interesting.

"Sure why not!" I chimed.

"Thanks" he winked.

He grabbed Meli's hand, who was staring at the ground, looking like a cute tomato.

I let out a low chuckle.

"Hey Natalie"

Ugh!! Mike!

"Hey" I said with a bored expression.

"Can I sit?"

"Yeah"

I felt the urge to move away but realized it would appear dramatic. I stayed in the position I was in, refusing to crane my neck even a millimeter.

"How's life?" he asked

Huh?

"Um... good. You?"

"Same."

Then he went quiet.

"Is there something wrong Natalie?"

Wonder where the teacher is?

" Um, I asked you something...?"

He said again.

"Oh, yeah... I mean no nothing's wrong I perfectly fine" I put on a fake smile.

"Really, I was wondering you were still pissed off at me since that incident in the school corridor" he passed me a look.

"N-no really, that was very stupid... I mean we shouldn't really recall that anyway." I said.

"Yeah you're right."

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Silence.

The weird one, yep.

"Hey Natalie... I wanna ask you something"

"Yeah go on" I gestured.

"What do you think about me?"

Really?

"Uh... well you're the Golden Boy, you have a charismatic personality, you get almost everything you want, the girls drool over you, guys wanna be one of your buddies and most of them are jealous. They kill to be in your position you know." I said

"That means that you think of me like everyone else does... except the last part..." he smirked.

'Excuse me? But what did I just say at last?'

"I didn't get what you mean?" I furrowed my brows.

"Well any guy would kill to be in the position I am right now." He winked.

"I meant that boys want the kind of life you have" I declare.

"Uh huh?"

'Why the fudge wouldn't he stop smirking!'

" You are so hot that any guy would kill to be sitting right next to you. Exactly like I am."

"Nice joke Mike"

But, he had straight face. Serious one.

"Come on, don't gimme that expression" I said.

He just smiled.

When I mean 'Smiled' I mean it seriously.

'Should I be happy about it? Or scared?'

"Oh don't act so innocent. You know what I mean."

The teacher walked in.

'Thanks god for saving my ass'

.............

"This one?" I lifted up another dress.

White dress with a ribbon at the bottom and a v neck.

"No tha's way too decent"

We were selecting a dress for the Parkinson's party. I told Melanie that I could do that myself but as my mom had instructed her, she'd never go against her.

" Get away from the wardrobe, let me select" she grabbed me from the shoulders and shoved me away from the cupboard.

After a minute of shuffling I heard Mel shout.

"AHA! This one!" she pulled out a red dress with a boat neck and flowers running in cross section from top right to bottom left.

Trevor had gifted that to me before leaving for uni. I wore it twice only. I personally liked it too.

"Okay... now you quickly change while I do with my own makeup then I'll do yours."

I close the bathroom door and step into the shower.

I grabbed shampoo and poured it in my palms.

I worked into the lather, massaging on my scalp.

I then rinsed off the shampoo and took the conditioner bottle. I took out a coin sized amount and applied the conditioner from top to bottom.

I don't normally do conditioner.

Mel told me to , saying that it would be easier to do my hair for her.

I dried off my hair with a towel and slipped on my under garments, then wore my red dress.

I then walked out.

"Hey you look good! Now come on sit here"

Melanie patted the chair in front of the dressing table.

She's managed to do her make up pretty well.

She wore a yellow, sun dress, with a slight blush on and a thin line of eyeliner, along with some mascara.

The blood red lipstick simply suited her, contrasting with her yellow dress and smooth blonde hair.

She wore white heels.

She looked elegant as always.

"Guess who's excited to meet Jack Hunter?" I nudged her.

I felt her blush go darker.

"Shut up and sit straight"

She adjusted my head with her hands and started with her make up kit.

Hope you guys like the chapter. Personally I feel this one was not long enough too but I guess it explains a lot.
