Bad Intentions

Two

Leah

What the hell?  My eyes aren't deceiving me, right? This is not a hallucination cause if this was my brain was really fucked up for doing this to me.

Nate Rylan stood before me. Nate. Rylan.

His name somewhat left a bitter taste in my mouth. We didn't exactly leave off on good terms when he left two years ago.

I blinked blankly as my brain is unable to register the entire situation at hand.

And I'm pretty sure my jaw just hit the ground.

"Earth to Leah." I heard him say with his hand waving in front of my face snapping me out of my thoughts.

Pull it together, Leah.

"Oh, sorry." I said plastering a smile onto my face. I'm sure it looked like someone was pulling strings on my lips to form this smile. Nate returned it and pulled me into a bone crushing hug. I was actually struggling to breathe. When did he get so strong?? I just stood there like an idiot not knowing what to do. "What are you doing here?" I asked when he pulled away.

"I go to school here." He answered easily his dark blue eyes filled with excitement and playfulness. I'm sure my own were just filled with complete shock.

"That's not what I meant. I mea-" I tried to explain, but he cut me off.

"I know what you mean Leah. I just moved back a few weeks ago. I'm sorry we didn't let you guys know. It's been a busy few weeks." He explained. "Now I'm here to finish off high school with everyone and thought why not surprise you all." He grinned brightly. Someone is happy.

Wish I could say the same. "Wow, that's great!" I said with fake enthusiasm. My first love moved back to town after two years without saying a single word to anyone.

This is great.

Thanks God for the warning. You're a real one.

I couldn't help, but glance over him briefly. There goes my teenage girl hormones again. Is it possible for someone to get hotter?

Nate is definitely different from the last time I saw him two years ago. His light brown hair was slightly messy giving it 'I just rolled out of bed' look. His dark blue eyes were filled with happiness and his jawline as sharp as ever. He definitely got taller and yup those are muscles.

Stop it, Leah. This is the guy who broke your heart two years ago.

Why do I have to keep reminding myself of that?

Anyone have a trick on controlling teenage girl hormone? Cause your girl is drowning in them right now.

"Well, welcome back." I said which caused his grin to widen. His eyes wonder over my shoulder.

"Kayla! I didn't even see you there." He said happily. How can someone be so damn happy? I totally forgot that Kayla was even here, some best friend I am.

Nate and Kayla exchange greetings just as the warning bell rung. I never thought I would be grateful for a class. This was one of those rare times.
