Chapter Text
The first time he had spotted her was in the hallway.
Her brown hair was up in a neat bun. Dark brown eyes held a softness about them that drew his attention. Her dark blue cardigan and skirt hid a lot. Which he found a little disappointing. It wasn't like she wasn't pretty. Didn't have any makeup on but he never liked that stuff anyways.
Then a jock trips her, sending her books all over the floor. Of course he had laughed with the others in the Vortex Club while she hurried to pick up her things with a red face.
Victoria had laughed with him from their spot against the lockers as she called out, “Better watch your step, bible thumper.”
Taylor and Courtney laughed from their spots beside Victoria like some kind of trained animals. He knew they were more than that sure, but the comparison still applied. Then his eyes drift back to the girl picking up her books and hurrying down the hallway with her head bent low.
“So ‘bible thumper?’” He inquires, tipping his head toward Victoria who scoffs.
“Apparently she's super religious. Even started an abstinence club since the first week of school. What a joke.”
Nathan shrugs. Whoever Victoria didn't like was her problem. He didn't get involved unless he was asked to. So he would just watch. It was usually a good show.
“Meet in my room or yours before the party?”
“Mine,” Nathan replies as he smirks at his best friend, “A little pregaming never hurt anyone.”
Victoria rolls her eyes as her own smirk tugs on her lips, “Sure it doesn't.”
Nathan pushes from the lockers, “Whatever. See you later, Vic. Got stuff to pick up.”
“Sure thing, Nate. Don't piss Frank off again. That old wolf is the only one who carries in the Bay and I am not driving to Portland again just for some damn weed.”
Nathan chuckles as he makes his way down the hallway backward, “No promises, Vic.”
Then he spins around and exits Blackwell.
