Natalia/Nattie Anderson
My alarm clock buzzed, waking me up way too early for my birthday, or any day for that matter. After much contemplating, I dragged myself up and forced myself to look in the mirror. Do I really look that bad? Whatever it's my birthday. I ran a brush through my caramel colored, pathetic excuse for hair then threw it up in a messy bun.
I trudged downstairs to the empty kitchen. My parents were never around either working or with friends. They have more of a social life than I do. I could be on drugs and they wouldn't notice. I grabbed a protein bar and sat outside, waiting for Jace to come pick me up. I had a car of my own but I had always carpooled with Jace, so every morning he drives us to school.
Soon, a banged up red pick-up truck pulled into my driveway. I slung my bag over my shoulders and hopped in.
"Happy birthday!" Jace beamed, his dark brown eyes glimmered.
"Thanks." I grumbled. "Let's not bring it up again, okay?"
"But Nat-"
"No, Jace." I cut him off.
He fell silent and concentrated on the road.
"Uh, Nattie.." He cleared his throat, which was weird because he only does that when he has bad news. "I have to talk to you."
My eyebrow knitted together. I couldn't read his face. "What is it?"
"I can't give you rides anymore." He said quietly, avoiding eye contact. "The girlfriend. She doesn't think it's a good idea."
"What?" I laughed. "You can't be serious! You always drive us! It's practically a tradition. Come on, Jace!"
"I'm sorry." He sighed and pulled into White Branch's parking lot. "I have to go to physics now. I'll talk to you later." He scrambled out of the car and towards campus.
