Nate's POV
" Good evening master McClain" chef Chu said as I stormed into the house. I didn't say a word instead I went straight to my room, slamming the door so hard that I thought it'll break, I wanted it to break but it didn't.
Why did today suck so much to me?
I won the football match, but I made Zach hurt Victor. What the hell is wrong with me?
I noticed my heartbeat had doubled and I knew I needed to cool off, so I took off my clothes and entered the shower.
Just like magic, my whole body became calm, my breathing now normal, my heart rate felt okay. I sighed as I passed my hand through my hair and that horrible memory I always try to forget started coming back.
I tried to stop it but I couldn't.
It was in 2014, April 15 to be precise, we were still in London then. I had come back from school that Tuesday, I was so devastated because I had come second in my c
Tory's POVWhen I got back from school, I kept to myself, angry that Nate had tossed me away like some useless toy, just like how Woody would feel sad that the kid didn't want to play with him.But why did I care? I hate Nate? Why did the way he looked at me before he pushed me away hurt so much? Am I attracted to him? Why did I not protest when he tried to kiss me. Ugh!As I sat down on the couch, eating chips and watching TV, mom who had already arrived earlier this week, came rushing downstairs from her room." Is everything okay?" Toni asked" Tiffany, she said she needs help with her son"" Of course she does, she's a horrible parent, never cared about the poor boy. I bet he's had enough of her neglect and has decided to take his life. You know if I were his mom, I'd do a better job." I said indifferently as I chewed on my chips.My mother walked br
Tory's POVIt has been a week since Nate's episode. Apparently, he is suicidal, which was something that I found extremely surprising since he thinks of himself as a literal God.It's Thursday and everyone was settling down in class when Nate walked in, the class was silent, not because they knew about what happened last week at his house, but because he had a very annoyed look on his face. That meant that no one should try to speak to him.He sat down in front of Rex, whose attention was on me, his face was now in a frown, he was probably wondering why I was staring at Nate, but my mom had made Toni and I promise not to say anything to a soul." Are you okay?"" Yeah, just praying my mood doesn't go sour," I said and he chuckled, knowing why I said that." You know that I can fucking hear you right?" Nate asked clearly pissed." She can say whatev
Nate's POVI sat down at lunch, unable to eat my lunch because I was thinking about how bad today went.Honestly, I don't regret breaking Troas's thumb, what I regret was that I should've broken more than just a thumb - at least that would be worth the punishment I'm getting."Tory is a game-changer" I said to myself.For two years I have remained unpunished because Mr Jenkins feared that if he punished me, I would keep to my word and expose his dirty little secret - his disgusting sex tape that I found in Tiffany's bedroom.That was what I threatened him with two years ago when he had called me in for almost assaulting a teacher. He was so shocked that I had it and he had just gotten appointed principal of the school, I knew the last thing he needed was for me to leak the sex tape and destroy his image.What he didn't know was that I honestly wouldn't ha
Tory's POVDealing with Nate had made things super easy for me. He didn't bother me for fear of me exposing his secret and I was super thrilled about it.It's been three days yet Nate did nothing. Today being Thursday, we didn't put on uniforms but instead wore casual clothes.Rachel had ditched school after lunch to go have fun with Jake. So I was all alone figuring out how to prepare for the fundraiser which I was already losing interest in.At the close of school, I stayed back to make a list of alternative places to host the fundraiser, since the place I had earlier planned on using was already booked.Tired from all the browsing I was doing on my phone, coupled with hunger, I decided to go over to Rex's place.He and I have been doing amazing, we didn't go on dates though, Rex said it wasn't his thing, instead, we either saw each other in our houses and
Nate's POVI leaned on the door as Tory kept insisting that I tell her friend not to eat the food at the restaurant.I didn't buy it, she was just making it up so I would let her go." Nate please.... please" she said, her voice now shaky." Are you crying?" I asked feeling very uncomfortable.At my question, she launched into full-blown sobs and I immediately pocketed her phone and unlocked the door." Umm, Tory?" I called when she sat there crying." Geez it's just a date, I'm sure Rex will take you someday" I said very uncomfortably." Is that what you think this is about!" She suddenly yelled, pushing me with so much power that I almost stumbled backward." I told you that she's allergic to shrimps but you won't listen!"" T
Nate's POVI stared at the man who sat opposite me and groaned in anger as he kept tapping his pen on his jaw." What kind of a therapist are you? I thought Mr Jenkins said you're one of the best!" I blurted out angrily. The man didn't budge he just kept on doing what he was doing before, scribbling something in his note pad." I've been here for two days, hoping you can give me a reason behind why I'm such a jackass and why I almost killed someone's friend because of my irrational decisions - as you called it, but all you've been doing is to waste my time"The man just smiled, brushed his blonde hair backward, and slid his hands through his beards as his black eyes were lost in thought." I'm so fucked" I said shaking my head." I can't believe I told you stuff I've never told anyone before and you can't even tell me what's wrong with me?" 
Nate's POVIt's been precisely a week and three days since Tory's outburst towards me. She has been ignoring me and whenever she didn't feel like ignoring me, she would say hurtful things to me, like calling me crazy, or stupid.I know I shouldn't care about the names but, I do.I've only seen Mr. Banner once this week and I think I'm starting to figure myself out.Though I've tried to apologize to Tory several times, the words just hang in my throat, and before I even get the chance to say " hi" she glares at me and walks out.I guess I'm lucky that Rachel didn't die, according to Jake, she has very sensitive taste buds, so when she tasted the food, she could tell that something she's allergic to was in it. She had an immediate reaction to it, she has been recovering in the hospital since and is gonna be in school tomorrow. I didn't tell him that I could've stopped her from
Tory's POV" Rachel, can we go now. I'm tired of all the preparations for this fundraiser... I just wanna eat some burritos or whatever" I said as I got up from my chair in the board meeting room. She started arranging some of her stuff and putting it in her bag." Just toss them in your bag Rachie!" I groaned." Relax, I'm not disorderly like you"" Whatever" I scoffed as I put on my school bag and tapped my feet, waiting for her." All done." She said and I lifted my hands to the sky in appreciation of the big guy up there before we went downstairs." Have you umm...you know seen -""-jake? Nope. I haven't, are you guys going for another date? If so be very careful okay.?"" No, we're not. I was actually gonna ask if you saw Nate" she said looking at me with a concerned expression." Why d
