Aiden and me had just got out of training. After we called Dr. D he came back to the magic room and was so happy I said yes. The rest of the day was spent learning about what we were going to do over the time we had to train and learning what not to do outside the magic room. We were told not to trust ANYONE! Not even our parents. We were also told to study over the weekend. It was 11:30 when I got back to my dorm. Aiden had walked me to make sure nothing happened to me, though I was pretty sure I would be fine.
"Thanks Aiden, even though I think I'd be fine on my own" I said as we walked up the stairs and to my dorm.

"You're welcome, I didn't want anything to happen to you. After hearing those stories about people being thrown down the stairs..." We shivered at the thought. We stopped at my door and I pulled out my key. "Well I better get going, I'll see you later." he says and gives me a hug.
"Ok see you later!" I say and walk into my dorm while he walks down the hall.
Tasha wasn't there and I was going to text her to see where she was when I found a note on my bed.

-Went to Brandon's place. Don't stay up. Be home in the morning. Love Natasha- Eww, I don't want to know. I laughed as I threw the note on my bed. I didn't want to be alone after what I heard today, so I went to go take a shower. I grabbed my clothes and my stuff and left, and this time I didn't get lost. After I took a shower I got changed and went to brush my teeth. It was really hot in there because of the shower, so I was happy with the pajamas I grabbed. I was wearing a black tank top and green plaid shorts with lime green slippers. I put on my head phones, and turned on my I-pod. I put it on the song Into the Night by Santana and started brushing my teeth. I looked around to see if anyone was in the bathroom. Noticing no one was there I started dancing. Just as I was getting to the good part of the song, I heard a laugh threw the head phones. That couldn't be the song! I've herd this song a million times. I opened my eyes to see Nathan Standing there laughing at me. I felt my face go red as I pulled out my head phones.

"Hey, hey don't worry." he laughed, "you're a good dancer."
"What are you doing in here?" I said looking around to see if anyone else was there. I should have known better than to start dancing in a public bathroom... with my eyes closed!
"Um, it's a bathroom. " he said and laughed again.
"Oh right." I blushed, "Um..."
"I'm going to go take a shower." he said and laughed again. I wish he would stop laughing!
"Ok." I said and turned around to bush my teeth. After that I washed my face and brushed out my hair. As I was putting on lotion, Nathan came out of the shower and started brushing his teeth. I was about to leave when he stopped me.
"Hey wait for me, just let me finish and I'll walk you." He offered, I nodded and leaned against one of the bathroom walls. He reminded me of Aiden and how he walked me back too. Gosh it's not like I need someone to hold my hand every where I go. But then again they were just being good friends.

"Ok." I said.
He quickly finished up and we started walking. As we were walking he asked me what happened in the arena today. I was going to tell him but I didn't want to worry him so I lied and said that my parent arranged for me to meet a tutor every Friday to help me out with my regular school work. It's not that I didn't trust him, it's that I didn't want anyone to know about it. Especially when Dr. Demetrius told us to not tell anyone. When we got to my dorm he asked if he could hang out there for a while sense apparently my roommate and his roommate were...well you knowing. We laughed and talked about how we might have to do this more often sense they were dating. We watched a few movies and I was about to put in another movie when he got a text.
"Hey I'll be right back, its Amber." he said getting up from the couch.
"Ok but if you don't get back in 15 minutes I'm going to bed." I laughed.
"Ha, ha very funny. I wonder what she wants." he seemed sort of confused and didn't look too happy as he walked out the door. I hope everything's ok.

I was on the balcony outside just looking at the stars when I herd a knock on the door. Hmm only 8 minutes, that was fast.
"Come in!" I yelled from the balcony. Nathan came in and saw me on the balcony. He came out onto the balcony and something didn't seem right.
"That was fast, are you ok?" I asked.
"Yeah I'm fine, why wouldn't I be ok?" He replied kind of rushed. I looked and him and raised an eyebrow.
"Just wondering..." I mumbled and sat down on one of the chairs on the balcony. He sighed and sat down too. Then he took a deep breath and looked me straight in the eyes. It felt like my stomach flipped completely. Why was I feeling like this, was it possible that I liked him? No, he has a girlfriend, I gotta start remembering that. He finally looked away and up at the stars, for what felt like forever. After a while he finally said, still looking at the stars,

"So what were you dancing to in the bathroom?" I looked up and blushed.
"I was listening to Into The Night by Santana." he looked at me and smiled.
"Hey your blushing!" he laughed
"Shut up!" I said punching his arm.
"Don't worry I won't tell anyone, cross my heart, hope to die." He said drawing an x over the left side of his chest. We both laughed. He had an amazing laugh and a nice smile. Wait, what am I thinking. Just friends, just friends, keep telling yourself that. You guys are just friends. What did Tasha get in your head. You guys are jus...
"Are you ok?" he asked interrupting my thoughts.
"Oh, yeah I'm fine, why?" I questioned.

"You just seem kind of, I don't know, hurt or in doubt?" He sounded like he was more questioning me to see if he was right rather than telling me.
"I'm fine, it's just been awhile since I, um, saw my parents." I quickly lied. Good thing I was a good liar.
"Oh, your homesick." He stated. "It's ok, come here." he opened his arms to give me a hug. There's nothing wrong with a hug, your just friends anyway. I wrapped my arms around his hard, muscular waist and laid my head down on his chest. He wrapped his strong arms around me and I felt safe, just like this, like no one could hurt me, but something inside me was saying that something was not right. He started rubbing circles into my back, it felt so good. Ok I really need to stop feeling this way!
"Carms..." he said sounding a little bit shaky.

"Yeah?" I said pulling back to look at him.
"I broke up with... I... I broke up with Amber..." he stuttered
"What! Are you ok? What happened?" I asked then realized that may be it wasn't the time for questioning. Instead I hugged him tighter and said
"I'm sorry..."
"Thanks..." he mumbled we stood there hugging for a while not saying anything. Then I pulled away and we both sat back down.
"Do you want to talk about it?" I asked. He didn't talk for a while, he just sat there looking at the stars. Then he sighed and said

"Well... when she texted me... she said she needed something. So I went over there to asked her what she needed. She said she wanted me to stay in her dorm and watch her dog for her while she went over to her friends dorm. I really wouldn't mind but I wasn't about to ruin my Friday night sitting in a room with a dog. So I told her no and that I was spending time with you tonight..." he looked at me to see my reaction. I just sat there staring at him and he must have taken it as a sign to move on, "So she said, your spending time with CARMEN! I told her that me and you were just friends but she didn't believe me. S...she gets jealous easy. She said I was to stay and look after her dog and forget about you. I told her no and headed for the door, she yelled at me, saying if you take one more step out that door you can forget about me and you." I couldn't help but gasp. Why would he do that to her? "So I said, Already forgot, and walked out the door."
"Why did you do that?!" I asked in shock, I mean why would he do such a thing?

"Because she said I couldn't be your friend..." he mumbled.
"So! I'm not that important, you didn't have to do that." I said.
"Yes you are important, and no one can tell me who my friends can and can't be, besides it was bound to happen eventually, she's too controlling. I couldn't take it any more." he said. I didn't know what to say, I was completely speechless. He looked at me and noticed.
"Maybe I should go..." he mumbled while standing up, he was about to walk out when I finally was able to mutter out
"D...don't go!" I grabbed his hand. Dammit, I forgot, her comes the shock. This time it was stronger, the shock never really hurt me it just made my arm feel electric, It made me feel light.

"Maybe its best if I do... this isn't really a good night."
"Please don't, you have nowhere to go, and... and I don't want you to go..."
"Carms I can't, I just can't be around you right now..." he mumbled, I tried so hard not to show him that his words had hurt me, I really did but he saw right threw me.
"Carms I didn't mean it like that..." he said
"Whatever... just go... if you don't want to see me leave!" I replied throwing his arm to his side.
"Carmen please... just forget what I said" he said walking toward me

"Just go... you said it yourself... you can't be around me!" I quoted him, "So just leav..." before I knew it his lips were smashed against mine. His hands were on my waist pulling me up tight against him. Strangely I didn't try to struggle instead my hands went up to his hair and tangled themselves in it. I started kissing him back, our lips moving together. His hand were roaming my body and I jumped, wrapping my legs around his waist. He move us across the room and laid me down on the bed. I felt my back press against the silky sheets and felt his weight on top of me. We laid there kissing for a while and he finally rolled over onto the bed. We laid there next to each other in total silence, the only thing that could be herd was the sound of our heavy breathing.

What just happened, what was he thinking of me now. Oh no, I ruined our friendship. All because of my stupid teenage hormones! Please don't be mad at me Nathan. I turned to look at him, risking a peek. He was looking right at me. I quickly sat up.
"I'm so, so, so, so sorry!" I squeaked, "I...I..."
"You're sorry, I'm sorry! I shouldn't have done that. Please don't be mad at me." he pleaded
"How could I be mad at you?" I asked looking at him.
"Because I risked ruining our friendship over a stupid little arm shock..." he mumbled. He looked over at me and bit his bottom lip. So he felt it too? It wasn't just me?
"You felt the arm shock! I thought it was just me!" I mumbled.
"You felt it too?" he asked but he didn't seem as shocked as I did about it. I pushed that aside though.

"Yeah but I was to afraid to say anything..." I said sheepishly and bit my bottom lip.
"Why would you be afraid?" He asked.
"I don't know I just thought... you might think... I was a hormonal crazed little girl." He started laughing, I tried to act like it wasn't funny but I couldn't help but laugh with him.
"You have such a cute laugh." he said and I blushed. I sat on the bed with my legs crossed playing with one of his hands. We didn't do anything for a while just sat there thinking about what had happened.
"Hey Nate?" I asked him.
"hmm," he said looking into my eyes
"Do you like me?" I got the guts to finally ask him.

"Carms, I've had feelings for you sense the day I met you. When I first bumped into you, I didn't know what to do, and then whenever you touched my hand, everything got worst. I fell even more for you. Every time I would see you, I would have to tell my self, we're just friends, she doesn't like you that way, just so I wouldn't go crazy. Yes I do like you, and I can't do a thing about it." When he said that my stomach flipped, he likes me.

"Nate, I like you too. I'm not sure when but I had to doubt myself a lot of times." I said, looking back into his eyes. He put his hand on my cheek and kissed me again. We laid on my bed for the rest of the night just looking into each others eyes. We talked about random stuff while playing with each others hands, occasionally he would lean over and kiss me. When it turned time to go to bed, he said
"Night Carms, sleep good." and he kissed my forehead. He was moving to the couch when I told him
"You can come sleep in my bed, I don't mind if you don't mind." I smiled. So he came to my bed crawled in and wrapped his arms around me. I think I fell asleep first and the last thing I remember thinking was, what was going to happen between us now?
