Shane didn't like Noah and everybody knew it. When Nathaniel introduced Noah to Shane, Noah called Shane out on being the least popular man in the groupe. Nathaniel and Myles found it funny, but I sided with Shane and so did Kenric. I told him to come alone and I hated the fact that Nathaniel refused to listen to me.
"How the hell did you get here so fast man?" Myles said moving Hannah beside him. Nathaniel sat beside me. Walking by Noah glared at me for being close to Nathaniel and I got a slight feeling of jealousy. Nathaniel looked on the table and stole one of my fries.
"I was walking with Noah and wasn't far away when Snow sent me the address." He grabbed another fry and dipped it in Shane' ketchup.
"Who's Snow?" Noah asked looking around the table. Shane sneered. "Noah, who do you think it is." He said rudely. Noah looked at me and pointed. Shane shook his head yes. The jealousy got stronger and I smile.
"Jax, you haven't given Noah a nickname yet?" I said slapping his hand as he reaches for another fry. Nathaniel takes back his hand and looks at Noah.
"I can't think of one, how about bagle?"
"Bagle." Noah said sarcastically.
"Well yeah my nicknames are supposed to define that said person. Mackenzie is Snow because hes cold, has white hair and he's from canada. You can be bagel, cause you're hair reminds me of one and your plaine." I cover my mouth and Shane spits out his fry laughing. Kenric and Myles try not to laugh by holding their breath and Hannah looks at Nathaniel like he's an idiot.
Noah crosses his arms and scoffs. "What?" Nathaniel says confused.
"You're not calling me Bagle."
"How about monkey?" Kenric and Myles looses their breath and laughs outloud with me and Shane. Hannah giggles too.
"Why would I be monkey?"
"Well monkey eat bananas don't they?" Everybody stops laughing and I slap Nathaniels back yelling ew.
"Come on man thats gross!"
"What his favorite fruit is a banana why are you yelling ew!" Noah starts to laugh and Nathaniel catches on. "Oh, wow guys get you're head out of the gutter."
"So, what do you want to eat Monkey? We got the famous Mack fries with a side of Shanes ketchup or do you want random girls burger with the special Myles salade?" I take my fries and look at Noah dead in the eyes.
"I'm not sharing. And the only way monkey would work for Noah was if you called him because of his long arms and big ears." We all start laughing and Nathaniel looks at Noah's arms.
"Haha! Orangutan arms." Nathaniel laughs and Noah gets insulted. He sits in silence while we all laugh and joke about his ears.
Shane was having a blast and Nathaniel didn't notice how Noah got angry really quickly. Myles avoided the conversation and chatted with Hannah. Kenric was playing a game on his phone and I was enjoying watching Noah slowly sink. I could feel his emotions. He was just angry, digusted and jealous. He most likely resented Shane because he wouldn't drop the subject.
"What's Shane's nickname? Dolt?" Shane took off his hat and sunglasses. You could visibly see a vein pop on his forehead. The conversation was getting heated and Shane didn't have control over his anger. I grabbed Nathaniels shirt and pulled on it. Nathaniel knew about empathy and relised that the tension was getting to me.
"Noah, enough." Noah looked at Nathaniel irritatted as he yelled.
"He damn well deserved it." Noah said under his breath.
"Noah lets get one thing strait. I've been friends with these people longer than I've dated you, these people are my family and family comes first." He said bluntly. Shanes anger quickly turned into pride and he crossed his arms smiling proudly at Noah. I look at Noah and his sadness envolps me. He stands from the table and walks away. I watch sadly as he leaves the building.
"Are you guys going to be okay?" I ask. Nathaneil smiles at me curiously and shakes his head yes.
"I know you guys don't really like him, but you guys don't know him yet, I like him, I know you guys were just joking thats why I was teasing him too, but he was serious and went to far and you guys are my friends you guys will come first." Nathaniel explains.
"You're wrong." Hannah says bluntly. "Hi Nathaniel, I'm Myles girlfriend Hannah, but what you just said is wrong. If you're serious about you're relationship with Noah you should find him and make up right away. Your lover should always come first." Nathaniel quickly got out of the booth and ran out of the restaurant.
Watching him chase after another person made my heart stop. I was dating Melody because I wanted to get over Nathaniel, but no matter how hard I try I can't get him out of my head. Seeing him with another person hurt my heart and made me hate Noah.
I had no reason to hate Noah, but everytime I seen him with Nathaniel, all I feel is resentment. It was unhealthy, Noah didn't deserve my resentment but I had no way to stop it.
I look at my phone because of a notification. Nathaniel blocked me on Tazigram and deleted my contact. I turn off my phone and slam it on the table.
"I hate Noah with all my heart."
"Why?" Hannah asked curiously.
"Noah just made Jax choose between me and him. He just finished blocking me on everything."
"Why did Noah make Nathaniel choose between him and you?" Hannah asked.
"Because Mackenzie is Nathaniel's bestfriend, Noah is probably jealous of their relationship." Shane added.
I picked up my phone and ran out of the restaurant leaving twenty dollars on the table. I ran in the direction that Nathaniel and Noah went. And then I see them holding hands infront of a library. I yell for Nathaniel by his last name. He sees me and lets go of Noah's hand.
