Pamela's POV

We had P.E. I told Angela a day before that I didn't have a P.E kit so I couldn't join and she asked me not to worry. She told me I could wear a tracksuit and a pair of trainers. Later, I could explain it to the teacher, only when he asked me for an explanation. I was dreading the twenty minutes ahead. I wished this current class I was in wouldn't end, or better still P.E would be cancelled.

I didn't like P.E at all. It was so stressful. Whay I hated most was the running and dodgeball and the yells I could receive.

"Class dismiss." Mr. Fleming spoke. I whined under my breath as I packed my books into my bag and headed to the washroom to change. I didn't go to the girl's locker room because there was too much noise and gossiping.

After I changed and came out, I decided to look for Angela. I tried everywhere and I didn't find her so decided to go to the gym hall alone.

But luckily for me, I met up with her on my way and she repeated the do's and don'ts again. She opened the door and I saw the slightly young teacher sitting on one of the bleachers. He looked intimidating, very very intimidating.

I quickly looked away when he looked our direction and in no time, other students came in. I was busily talking to Angela and I felt someone staring at me. I looked around briefly but I found no one.

"Are you sure I shouldn't tell him now?" I asked biting my lip

"Yes, wait till he asks you, this teacher is bizarre." She said whispering the last clause. I looked over my shoulder and spotted Aldrick staring at me. He passed me a wink and I looked away to prevent him from seeing my blush.

"Why is he staring at me?" I groaned.

"Who Nathaniel?" She asked and my heart skipped a beat.

"No, no. That Aldrick boy." I muttered, around again and my eyes widened as I caught Nathaniel too staring at me from a corner. My heart was racing as I turned back to Angela as though I hadn't seen anything.

"Alright ya'll, assemble yourselves." His deep voice boomed, and we did just that. He made us jog, skip squat and do a whole lot but it wasn't that bad at all. I got shouted at less as I improved myself upon every thing.

But that didn't mean I liked P. E.

After all that, it was dodge ball time. I really didn't want to be here at this moment. He arranged us all into two groups and I was glad that I was on Angela's side. I was horrified when I saw Nathaniel on the other side. Hm.

Immediately the teacher blew the whistle I could see balls being thrown from all sides. I barely threw one, I was waiting to be hit so that I could just leave.

"Hey, you, move!" I quivered when he yelled at me.

"Ow!" I muttered when a boy threw a ball to hit my arm. I was glad that I was out but my arm hurt a bit.

"You're out!" The teacher yelled.

"Finally." I muttered turning to leave and someone caught up with me. It was the boy who hit me.

"I'm sorry, did I hurt you?"he asked taking out my arm his hit. It all happened fast. Nathaniel came out of nowhere and shoved the boy onto the ground and started beating him.

I stood there almost frozen as other guys came around to pry him off the boy. Nathaniel looked furious and the boy had a black eye. My heart was beating really fast as I was afraid I would get into trouble.

"Nathaniel. Go to the principal's office. Now!" The teacher yelled and he sent me a death glare before he stormed out of the gym. The teacher ordered me to send the boy to the recovery bay and I nodded doing as he asked.

I took him there and he sat on the bed, with a blank face.

"Um..so the nurse.." I stuttered and he nodded understanding.

"I'm really sorry." I said.

"Don't be, I should." He said smiling.

"By the way, can I know why Nathaniel attacked you?" I asked and he simply chuckled.

"He's just jealous and mad." He smirked and my brows rose.

"I see..." I murmered turning to leave as I wondered about how Nathaniel was jealous.

"By the way, what's your name beautiful?" He asked and I blushed. Gosh I needed to get used to compliments, especially from guys.

"I'm Pamela. What about you?" I asked looking over ny shoulder.

"I'm Ferb." He said and I nodded leaving the room as I wondered about Nathaniel's jealousy.

Was he jealous about the boy holding my arm?

But why would he be?

It was almost closing time at school and I was glad to God I survived through today.When I was about to leave class, a familiar voice stopped me.

"What is it Nolan?" I asked. He looked uncomfortable.

"I..I..need your help." He said, scratching the back of his head.

"What do you need help with?" I asked shoving my science text book into my bag

"You see that friend of yours you always roam about with?" He asked.

"Yeah?"

"I..um... I kinda.." He stammered gulping. "I kinda like her." He whispered and I smiled.

"Ouu." I said.

"Pamela do you-" Angela entered and stopped talking when he looked at Nola. Her face flushed pink.

"Maybe some other time."Nolan said and left the class and I smirked at Angela.

"You like him right?" I asked and she folded her arms."So that explains why you were nervous, the other day." I said.

"Whatever." She said blocking a smile.

"Are you free after school?" She asked and I just remembered tonight's agenda. I forgot, dinner night with Nathaniel's family and then guy himself.

"Unfortunately, no, I have dinner with Nathaniel and his family." I sighed in fear.

"Say what now?"her eyes widened.

"Yep."

"Whoa!"Angela exclaimed."Are you nervous?"she asked.

Belive me, I'm over excited.

"I don't like him."I countered.

"Sure you don't."She said sarcastically. "I never even said that." She reminded smiling and I blushed more.

"But if you even like him, I'm so not shipping you with that jerk." She said seriously and I bit my lip.

"I hope...you don't?" She said and I nodded quickly.

***

After taking a long cold shower, I dried my hair and body with my towel and hair dryer and applied moisturiser on my skin. Later I put on some undergarments and I wore a pair of blue rompers, as chosen by mom.

I didn't put on much makeup. As usual, I tied my hair into a bun but this time, I made the parts which hang loose on my face curly to make me look presentable. I looked in the mirror and felt pretty within me. My heart raced upon remembering Nathaniel's coming again.

I wore my glasses and a pair of wedges before I sprayed on some cologne and turned off the lights in my room. I went out and stood at the tip of the staircase as our guests rolled in.

My heart rose when I saw Nathaniel dressed in a sleeveless hoodie. His arms were so bare and muscular and his jeans clung to his skin and to make him hotter, he had his hands in his pockets. I could feel a flip in my stomach as he raised his head and I got a view of his throat.

When he saw me on the stairs, his eyes raked over me for a while and and I saw his jaws tighten. He diverted them away with a slight gulp.

"Sweetie, come down here, I need to introduce you." My mom smiled sweetly and I started to descend down. His parents smiled at me in approval and I shyly diverted my gaze.

"This is our daughter, Pamela and that her brother, Eugene." She said pointing to my brother who had a cupcake in his mouth and he poked up his thumb. He wiped his mouth and started approaching us.

He appeared behind and placed his hands on my shoulders and I looked up to him shaking my head slightly. I looked back and glanced at Nathaniel by accident. He had his brow raised as he stared at Eugene's arm around my shoulder.

"It's a pleasure to meet you Mr and Mrs Demen," I said shaking their hands and Eugene did the same and shook Nathaniel's hand as well. I did not dare look at Nathaniel. I couldn't even try because he was gazing at the side of my head.

Later Eugene got a call and excused himself. Dad and Mr Demen began their business talks.Then Mrs Demen and Mom went to kitchen.

"Dear please check if the porch door is closed." Mom said and I nodded passing by Nathaniel to close the door. He smelt so good when I got a whiff of his cologne. I came back and groaned when he was still there.

In order to break the awkward moment, I decided to also leave but Nathaniel gently gripped my wrist and pulled me to him, making me press again to him slightly and I froze.

My heart thumps fast when he scanned me properly. I gasped when he leaned down and buried his face in my neck and wrapped his arms around my back. He inhaled my perfume and raised his lips to my earlobe and I shivered in his arms.

"Damn.'' He whispered, so low to the extent I didn't think I was supposed to hear. My ears heated up at the thought of my parents seeing something like this.

"Na.,Nathaniel please not now-" I squeaked.

''So when?'' He whispered huskily into my ears and I blushed deep red. Ok maybe he understood my statement the wrong way..

"Wh..when what?" I whispered back and he squeezed me a bit making me gasp. I shivered when when he exhaled onto my skin. I absent mindedly tried to push him away and he growled releasing me.

I turned to leave, ignoring his gaze I felt on my back, as I went to the hall and plopped into a seat. I sat there quietly trying to calm my breathing. Nathaniel appeared, looking indifferent and unaffected while I was a flustered mess. I looked away from him and and gently played with my curls. Beside me dipped

"What? It's your first time sitting next to a guy?" He taunted glaring at me.

"Um.."

"So let me guess your new fling is Ferb right?" He gritted his teeth, "Despite the fact that he threw a ball at you?" He asked.

"It was an accident." I muttered.

"Of course, and what's your excuse for being with the other guys..oh I could write a book with the list, Nino, Nolan, Anldrick, Ferb etc." He growled. I tucked my hair behind my ear and just ignored him.

He annoyed me to the core. What did he take me for? Did he think...Oh my God.

I caught him staring at my thighs and he shameless looked into my eyes at he stared back at my skin, making me blush. He groaned aloud and raked his hair.

"Did you dress up like this to show me your scarred thighs?" He asked.

"I'm even starting to wonder how you manage to get the guy's attention with this. Do you do their homework for them?" He asked. He words made me fight the tears in my eyes from rolling down.

I didn't want to brag about myself but I couldn't let him disrespect my appearance. I'm beautiful in my own way and if I checked my skin correctly it was clear.

I made up my mind that I won't let taunting words about my appearance get to me but why is that Nathaniel's taunts hurt me? Was it because no one ever said anything rude about my appearance?

I just stared at him sadly for a bit and before I could look away he snapped at me.

"Why are you staring at me like that?" He growled with coldness.

Because you body shamed me.

"N..nothing " I said and got up to sit somewhere else but he grabbed my hand and pulled me to sit and held my wrist tightly.

Ugh why does he like doing that?!

"Pl..pl..please let me go." I squeaked wriggling my hand.

"I'm not done." He said and let go of my wrist. I winced in pain about the red marks on my wrist. He scanned my face downwards my body and I felt the nervousness kicking in and something urged me to get up and leave. He grazed the back of his hand on my cheek and he lifted up my chin to meet his face. His facial expression was confusing. His looked...hurt? What?!

I moved my hand up to remove his but he anticipated my moved.

He sucked in a very sharp amount of breath and dipped his face into my neck as I gripped onto his shoulders. I tried to push him back but he was so heavy..

"St-stop it." I whimpered as my heart raced. I shivered when I felt his fingers on the nape of the neck.

"Am I missing something?" Eugene asked and we quickly jerked apart. I tucked my hair behind my ear and stood up on my feet ignoring Eugene's smirk.

"So Nathaniel, I reckon you really like my sister?" He asked and my face flushed. Mom called us to come to the dining hall and I took the lead first.

My parents were at the head table. Nathaniel's parents were sitting beside each other.

I and Nathaniel were on the left side and Eugene was on my right. I ate quietly fully aware of Nathaniel's time to time gaze which gave me tingles. I even tried to cover my blush with my hair's curl.

"So, Nathaniel, how old are you?" My mom asked.

"I'm eighteen." He answered politely. I ate in silence not wanting to be engrossed in their conversation. I blushed when Nathaniel's hand brushed over my thigh and a groan escaped his lips. Later on, I frowned. How dare he do that?

When the five got engrossed in their conversation, I felt Nathaniel's breath on my ear. It sent tingle sensations all over me and I became more fuzzy again when I felt his soft lips on them.

"Look at how you tried but you still look ugly." He whispered. All the sensations stopped and my face flushed due to embarrassment. The food then turned sour in my mouth. My chest tightened when I didn't even feel like carrying on with the meal.

"Is everything okay?" Eugene asked and my parents turned to look at me.

"Y..yes." I lied and smiled uncomfortably. After a while of uneasiness, I excused myself and rushed to my room the bathroom and cried so hard.

Why does Nathaniel's words hurt me so much?

After crying for good five minutes, I washed my face to reduce my puffy eyes which were now red. I entered my room and used the towel to wipe my face and I stared into the mirror and saw that the redness has reduced a bit.

Nathaniel later appeared in my mirror and I flinched backwards in fright. He began to take steps towards me and I took some back until I bumped onto the wall on my back.

Why would Eugene show him my room ugh!

When he reached me, he placed both hands at my sides and leaned down his head until it was level with mine and the tip of our noses were touching.

"It's not good to abandon diner..especially when you have guests Pamela." He said in his deep voice lowly.

It's not good to insult me when you come here for dinner.

"O..ok."I stuttered looking at the floor. He raised my chin with his index finger to look at his handsome face. "You're supposed to look at me when you're talking to me." He demanded and I narrowed my eyes briefly.

I nodded nervously and when he stared at my lips with dilated pupils, I bit them harshly, unsure of what he'll do next. He brought his face close to my ear, then moved it down till it landed in my neck. I felt his soft hair under my ear and his warm breath on my neck. I also tensed up when I felt his soft lips on my skin.

What is he doing?

He sucked the skin on my neck into his teeth and bit me softly causing me to shiver in delight and I pursed my lips to prevent a moan from leaving me.

"Nathaniel stop.." I whispered trying to push him away.

"Why?" He muffled and bit me again causing a very weak moan to escape my lips.

He later pulled away and stared at me with his darkened eyes as he licked his lips, looking intently at mine.

"N..Nathaniel p..please let me g..go." I furrowed my eyebrows completely flustered and I managed to push him back feeling my neck tingling.

"PAMI!" Eugene called from afar and I panicked when his steps got closer. Nathaniel looked like nothing had happened while Eugene entered my room and made his way over to me.

"Is everything okay?" He asked cupping my chin in concern when he reached day room and entered.

"Y..yes." I lied nervously.

"Are you sure?" He asked and glanced at Nathaniel who had a blank face and left. Eugene then tilted my head a bit.

"W..what's this?" He asked. I stared into my mirror and saw a reddish mark on my neck.

"Well.." I began nervously.

"Did..Did Nathaniel bite you or anything?" He asked seriously as he stroked the red mark.

"Nope....must be mosquito bites." I chuckled nervously.

What a lame lie.

"Are you sure?..what was Nathaniel doing here then?" He asked.

"Oh he?..he was..he came to check up on me." I assured.

"Are you sure you two weren't fondling each other?" He narrowed his eyes.

"Eugene what?! No!" I said slapping his chest with a gape and he laughed.

He held my hand and we left my room to see our guests off.

When I came back into the room is checked the mirror to see the mark well.

What was that?
