Something Different, 80: Better.
Natasha ‘Nat’ Scott. 10 minutes passed, and the limo feels like it was slowing down. Nat looked out the window and saw lots of cars and signs that says Teachers Only. Students Not Allowed To Park. “Bummber.” Nat heard Ivy hissed. It was 7.12am when we finally got out of the limp. Nat heard Dash told something to his driver before he left and drove off. As they walked to where the occassion was held, Nat passed by a few green and healthy looking trees and neatly cut bushes with blooming flowers, surrounding the sides of the park. There was a little playground for children at the corner, and a few benches for the adults to watch their kids. The venue wasn’t hard to find, it was quite easy, actually. Nat spotted people surrounding a certain spot where it seemed odd out of the park; no trees, no bushes, no nothing. “There.” Eric said suddenly, leading everybody towards the crowd. They sank into the crowd of people, making their ways to the front. Nat felt a bit suffocated and hot. She just remembered that she’s not suppose to be in hot places and in crowded places. Fuck. She thought. “Nat?” She heard Ivy call. “Here.” She said, panting. “You okay?” Ivy asked. Nat nodded, “It’s suffocating here.” Then behind Ivy, she saw both Paul and Eric approach. “Nat?” Eric called out. “You okay?” She heard Paul ask. “She says it’s hot.” Ivy said, pulling Nat out of the crowd. Finally, she was able to breathe again. “I need water.” Nat said as Ivy pulled her out further. “Ms. Jay?” Nat heard Eric’s voice. “Yes, Mr. Owans?” “Is there a bottle of water?” “Hm yes. Over there, in the boxes. Ask your coach.” She pointed towards a table. “Thanks.” Nat practically drank one and a half bottle of mineral water in one go. By the time she gasped for air, she saw Eric staring down at her. “What?” She burped. “Nothing.” Eric smiled. “Feeling any better?” “Slightly.” Nat said, massaging her forehead. “Here.” Eric said as he made Nat dropped her arm on to her lap, while he massages her head for her. Mmmm, comfy. Thought Nat. She didn’t even realize she had a goofy smile on her face. “Nat.” She heard Ivy called. “Nat!” “What?” She opened her eyes. She didn’t notice she closed them either. “You’re flushing.” Ivy pointed out. “She is!” Eva gasped. “What?” Nat asked. “Leave her alone.” Eric hissed, “I’m her massager for today.” He said proudly. “Chyeah right.” Paul said. “Jealous?” Eric joked. Paul just kept quiet. A few minutes passed and Nat felt more lighter. “Better?” Eric asked. Nat nodded. “Much, thanks.” Eric winked, “Welcome, gorgeous.” And Nat grinned.
