''Beth.''

I turn around to see Nathan running towards me.

''I thought you left without me'' he says out of breath.

It is the end of school and as always Nathan and I walk to our homes.

''I'd never leave without Nathan annoying me'' I joke and he rolls his eyes.

''Sooooo'' he says dragging the 'o' ''what was that in the music class?''

Fuck. I just wish he didn't bring this up. He knows about my dad but still..

''I don't fucking know Nathan. I just.." I pause. "How could she ever do this? I mean, okay sure she hates me so freaking bad, but that? That was really mean, even for her.'' I say trying not to cry again.

'' Beth, please don't cry.'' he begs me. ''Is it about your dad? I thought you got over this.''

''I thought so too. But I guess I'm not.''

He just gives me a sad smile.

''Can I ask you something?'' I say. I've been wanting to ask him that all day.

''Sure.'' he answers a bit nervous, like he already knows the question.

''How do you know Luke?'' I ask.

''He's in our maths class, remember?''

''I didn't mean that and we both know it Nathan.'' 

''What did you mean then?'' he asks all innocent.

''Just let it go'' I say a little frustrated.  He's hiding something for sure. I just don't know what yet.

''You like him, don't you?'' Nathan's voice snaps me out of my thoughts.

''What? Pfffff no. Come on, Nathan! You can't be serious.'' I say trying to convince him.

''Liar.'' he says.

How did he find out about this? I haven't really told anyone about my crush on Luke. I like him for about a year now but there was not much to do. Especially when I thought he didn't know I exist.

''How do you know?'' I ask embarrassed he found out.

''Beth, I'm your best friends since we were three. I think I can tell when my best bud likes someone.'' he says looking at me. "And you didn't even ask who."

''How long?'' he asks again.

''Um... Well...''

''Beth..''

''About a year.''

''Whoa wait a sec! About a year? And you didn't tell me?''

''I couldn't tell you about  it. You'll probably laugh at me saying this is ridiculous.''

''And it isn't?''

''Nathan'' I whine.

''Okay, okay sorry.''

Then we both stay silent.

''You should tell him.'' he breaks the silence.

''What? Hell no. Never. Not even if the survival of the human kind is depending on me telling him!'' I answer. I can't tell him how I feel.

It's not that simple.

''He likes you too.'' he says.

''Yeah, right.'' I can't believe he said that.

''What? But he does!'' he keeps on insisting.

Thank God we're outside my house. I just can't stand this conversation anymore.

''Goodbye'' I greet and run to my front door.

''I'll text you later.'' he yells as I get in.
