The Lounge (1)

The whistle blows and Nathan is beaming, feeling victorious. He’s sweaty and panting but had just scored the last basket for the practice game. Lincoln is staring at him with a poker face while the other players high five with Nathan.“Well done team!” Nelson roars in joy. “Looks like ya’ll are ready for the Interstate Tournament in Boston.”“Yes Coach!” The team declares. They have been practicing for the Interstate Tournament for months and this is a big opportunity for them. Nathan, who’s aiming to apply for the national team after graduation, is especially hyped. Basketball is his life and it’s the only thing he wants to play for a long time.“Jacobs!” Nelson calls him. “Come to my office.”Nathan frowns but jogs behind the coach. They enter his office and Nelson shuts the door.“Sit.”Nelson motions Nathan to sit on a couch. Nathan does so and Nelson sits next to him, looking grim.“I know that you have a lot of problems with Lincoln,” the old man says. Nathan snorts at that comm

The Lounge (2)

The beach behind Charlotte’s Lounge has been decorated with fairy lights. A small stage is set up in the middle of the beach with the lights shining on it.

The night is breezy and the waves are gentle, indicating a soothing evening perfect for the musical event.It’s not a very big event but Charlotte hosts it every year for small, independent bands who are looking for places to sing at. Several of her customers show up and even tourists who visit Bayers’ Coast, stop by to attend. Charlotte serves light finger food and cold drinks to the guests while several of her friends set up stalls around the area to sell homemade food and beverages.Many of the students at Bayers’ High School also participate in the event.

The Lounge (3)

Halsey sits on a chair next to Nathan and takes a deep breath as she picks up the guitar again. Nathan isn’t really interested in her music but rather focused on steering Halsey away from Lincoln. It seems that she loves music and the only way to seduce her is by complimenting her music. “Uh…” Halsey fumbles to play a tune. It’s as if she suddenly lost her talent.“What’s wrong?” Nathan asks.“Can you not look?” She requests sheepishly. “It makes me nervous.”This nerd is a handful! Nathan groans inwardly but he turns around so that his back faces her.“Go on,” he says warily. Closing her eyes, Halsey begins to sing.“Pitter patter falls the rain on my windowCreating an art which depicts our taleThe once blue sky is cloudy,Hiding the star I seek.I look up in the sky,Hoping you’d be thereYou promised me that we’ll be togetherThen why did you leave me alone hither?You said you will shine like a starBut why can’t I see you up there?You promised me that we’ll be togetherThen w

Just to mess with him

Nathan wakes up the next morning with a bad hangover. After they left the musical event, they hit a bar and drank for a long time. Harry managed to score a one night stand for himself with a girl from another school and left with her. Jimmy went home soon afterwards while Mike and Nathan stayed back a little longer until it was time for the bar to close. Not wanting to go home, Nathan crashed at Mike’s place since his parents weren’t there.“You look terrible,” Mike comments when Nathan comes downstairs. Nathan only grumbles and pours himself a glass of water before popping a few pills for the headache.“I’ve never seen you drink so much,” Mike goes on. “You’re worrying me, man!”“It’s nothing!” Nathan mutters.“What’s up with you and the Scott girl?” Mike asks. “I heard rumors that you’re spending a lotta time with her. I heard that Lydia isn’t very happy about it.”“Who cares about her?” Nathan snorts. “Wasn’t she your girlfriend only a few weeks ago?”“Why?”Mike is very curious.

A Challenge

This can’t be happening! Halsey screams in her mind. The cafe manager hired Nathan for the part time position and assigned Halsey to explain the job to him. Halsey tried to make excuses but fumbled in front of her manager’s strict glare.“This is the coffee machine,” she murmurs. “Press this one for espresso and this one for decaf. This one is for-”“Why’re you avoiding me?” Nathan demands.“Please don’t create a scene here,” Halsey begs. “I just want to work in peace and go home!”“For someone who wants peace, you seem to be throwing yourself in all kinds of trouble,” he grins. And who’s fault is that? Halsey asks in her mind but bites back her response.“Just work properly and ask the manager if you need help with anything,” she says curtly. “I’ve got to attend to the customers now.”Nathan warily watches as Halsey heads over to the tables to take orders. He puts on the cafe’s hat and seductively smiles at a group of women who are ogling at him. They giggle when he catches their ey

The Locker

The giggling is starting to annoy Halsey a little. She glances at the table where a few of the popular kids are hanging out. Nathan is the center of attention there, flirting with a few girls while the guys are flocking around him as well. He started to spike his hair which somehow makes him look even more attractive to the cheerleaders around him. Nathan isn’t looking at her way but knows that Halsey is staring at him.The sound of a chair creaking makes Halsey jump.“What’s wrong?” Lincoln asks as he takes a seat next to her. “Nothing,” Halsey lies. They’re at the cafeteria and it’s very crowded that day. Almost the entire school is going to attend a game that day which will decide whether the Eagles can attend the interstate tournament or not. Lincoln is very excited and it shows.“I’m gonna win today!” He declares. “You’ll see, Hales.”“I really hope you do!” Halsey exclaims with a genuine smile. “You’ve worked hard.”“One week!” Lincoln sighs. “I’ll be away for one week. And st

Stranger on the Roof

The final whistle blows and the audience cheers in joy. Lincoln is flushed with success, sweating profusely but is still energetic. He spots Halsey at the stands and winks at her. Halsey smiles a little but her heart isn’t into the game. Even though she’s supposed to be cheering for Lincoln, she can’t help thinking about Nathan.He’s been missing ever since that afternoon and she suspects that he’s probably up on the roof. She’s worried about him but is forced to hide her concerns as Lincoln makes his way towards her.“Did you see that?” He exclaims. “I made the final dunk! We won!”“Yeah!” Halsey smiles. “Congratulations. When are you leaving for the interstate tournament?”“Nelson said that if we win, we’ll have to leave right after the match,” Lincoln sighs. “He’s very strict about it. We’ll have to catch some sleep on the bus.”“So soon? Won’t you at least stay till dinner?”“Nah. It’s best if we leave as per schedule. I need to know more about our rival teams. The competition is

Treehouse

“You look happy,” Charlotte notes the next morning when Halsey is humming to herself. They are at her music lounge, setting up the instruments. It’s a weekend so Halsey is helping Charlotte.“It’s just a nice day!” Halsey smiles but she’s not sure why she is feeling so lighthearted. “Did Lincoln call you?” Charlotte asks her.“Yeah. He and the team reached the resort. They’re practicing a lot but he called me a while ago and said he’s alright.”“That’s a relief,” Charlotte sighs. “But it feels kinda lonely without him…”Charlotte is a little sad because Lincoln never stayed away from home for so long. Halsey hugs her tightly.“He’ll be fine!” She assures Charlotte. “I’m sure of it!”“I hope so too.”Charlotte pats Halsey’s head and smiles at her. Just then, Halsey’s phone beeps. Charlotte manages to peek a glance at the name on the text when Halsey takes out her phone.“Meet me at the basketball court behind the pharmacy,” Nathan writes.“Nathan?” Charlotte asks with interest. “I see

Why Will I Kiss Her?

Halsey is casually walking along the aisle, carrying a few books. The school cafeteria is buzzing with students that day. Most of them are excited that their basketball team is moving to the finals in the interstate tournament. Lincoln had already texted Halsey in the morning to inform her of his success. Halsey wanted to tell him about the stalker but hearing the happiness in his voice only discouraged her.I’ll tell him later, she decides.She’s heading for a table, still lost in her thoughts. She’s so engrossed that she didn’t notice when someone stuck their foot out.“Ah!” Halsey shrieks as she falls down. Embarrassed, she hears the giggles of a few girls who are pointing and laughing at her.“Whoops!” Lydia sneers. “I am so sorry!”She follows her words with a laugh. Halsey slowly stands up, aware of everyone snickering at her. Lydia and Daisy are smirking at the nerd who’s an easy target. “She’s the one who should be sorry!” Daisy says loudly. “If it wasn’t for her, Nathan coul

An Old Friend

“Halsey, come on!” Nathan hisses at her. “Talk to me!”“I’m working.”They’re at the cafe where Halsey had begun her shift. Nathan followed her there but she didn’t speak to him much other than giving him some instructions. Even though she’s being polite, Nathan can sense a coldness in her tone which is irking him.Halsey takes the orders of table number nine and keeps on ignoring Nathan. He’s exasperated but gets no chance to talk to her either. The cafe is unusually crowded that day because there’s some business conference going on. Many of the customers are from out of town who stopped by for quick bites. Nathan and Halsey have to work hard to cater to them.“This is hard work!” Nathan groans. He has been serving customers for three hours straight and finally managed to complete his shift. Slumping on a chair in the break room, he stretches his limbs. A few minutes later, Halsey also enters the room to rest before heading back home having already changed her clothes. She doesn’t l
