We are young after all

Chapter 34: We are young after all

Third's person point of view

Monday came and Piper notice how the atmosphere heavier when Zaizen came with a unreable expression in his face.

Pip notice it and he eblow Jenrick who is eating some sandwich. Well he slept late so he almost missed his first class.

"What?" Jenrick asked and Pip sit beside him. And he whisper softy

"Did they broke up?" Pip asked Jenrick, he almost choke on his food when he ask about that.

Early in the morning, the rumor spreads that Natty and Zaizen broke up because they saw Zaizen and Stacy having a date in the park.

"I don't know! I just heared that they saw Zaizen and Stacy together. I suddenly feel bad to Natty" Jenrick said and Pip smack his head. Jenrick glare at him and he is about to smaqck his head too when Piper sit in front of them.

"This rumor is really weird. Why would Zaizen date Stacy if he is still together with Natty" Piper said and they look back when the door open.

Natty come inside with a sad face but she keep her chin up. Catherine is behind her, the teacher ask them to get the notebook, to start writing about their reflection about the camping that happen.

"If Zaizen really cheat, I will smack his head hard" Pip said while punching in the air that made him look stupid.

Jenrick shook his head while sighing while Piper just chuckle. But Piper think of it, if Zaizen really cheat. What is the reason?

She known Zaizen for years and looking at him won't go for cheating. He value the relationship he had with Natty and he is the one who pursue her.

Catherine is starting to write at her notebook and when she glance at Natty who is uneasy. She slowly hold her hand and when Natty look up, she flash a warm smile that made Natty tear up a little bit.

Rich also notice it and he pull out the chocolate bar that he bought in the canteen earlier.

Typical student excuse that they excuse going to the bathroom but in the end in the canteen where they go.

He is looking at it and he is thinking if he is going to give it to Natty but what if Natty reject it? Nah Natty is kinda grumpy but she is kind.

Rich sigh and he tap Natty's shoulder gently and when Natty look bacl. He slowly give the chocolate bar in her face.

He is kinda shy when giving things to people especially when it comes to girls. Catherine notice it and she smile instead of getting jealous.

"What is this?" Natty ask in a soft voice and Rich blushed when he receive an unexpected response.

"Chocolate bar, are you blind?" he said while looking away and Natty raise her left eyebrows.

She didn't like the tone of him and she was about to say something when Rich suddenly shove it in her face. That made her made annoyed.

Catherine shook her head and continue writing at her notebook. Yeah that is Rich when he is flustered, he is getting stupid.

"You look down and I heared that sweets can make you up a little bit" he said that made Natty smile.

"Well forgiven, thanks" she said and she smile while getting the chocolate bar in her bag.

Somehow that made Rich smile. While Zaizen is getting annoyed. He look away and he clenched his fist.

The three idiots saw the interaction and they look at each other. They smile like a kid and they start to ship them.

"Should we confront Zaizen?" Jenrick said while helping Piper at her library works.

"I mean there is a 50 percent that he is not cheating or 50 percent he is" Jenrick said while showing his two hands.

Piper and Pip look at each other and they shook their head.

"You know if they really broke up. Natty already told us but it's the end of the day. They didn't say a word" Pip said and Piper shook her head.

"Well we can't judge them easily and let's just wait for them to speak" Piper said and they nodded their head.

Lucky that they don't have any practice for this day. Before the three go out of the library they saw Stacy walking towards the library.

Piper and Stacy made an eye contact. Stacy become nervous when she saw the guys looking at her. But Piper flash a big smile that made her tear up a little bit.

"You own us an explanation" Pip said and their foot brought them to them to the park.

"You know what? It's bad" Piper said after they hear Stacy's explanbation about the rumor.

"I know but I thought that Zaizen will immediately broke up with her but I guess he didn't" Stacy said and they went for a silent for a second.

"A cheating that is obvious. I don't know what to react" Pip said

"I'm sorry" Stacy said and they all look at her. She is starting to cry and Piper pat her head.

"It's not nice to cheat at her. I want to be mad but you are also blind for love. Next time do it in a proper way that no one hurt" Piper said and when they stand up.

They saw Natty looking at them and they gasp when they saw Zaizen behind her, looking confused.

"This is awkward" Jenrick and Pip said to each other.

Piper smile at them and she pat Natty's head, slowly kiss her forehead.

"Call me after the talk" she said and Natty bit her lower lip while trying to stop her tears.

"You're an idiot" Pip said when he go to Zaizen. Zaizen look at him and he clench his fist.

He suddenly grab Pip's collar and Jenrick quickly pull them but Zaizen is more strong than him.

"What?" he said while glaring at him but Pip didn't flinch a little bit. He might be stupid but he has patient.

"I said you're idiot" Pip said again and Zaizen was about to punch him when Natty said something.

"Stop" she said and he let go of his collar. Piper sigh and drag him away before he said something that can hurt Zaizen.

"You better shut your mouth" Piper said and Pip just pout his lips.

"He deserve a punch" Pip said while pouting that made the two chuckle.

Natty brave face the two with a smile. She is trying not to break down in front of them and she is trying to lift up her mood.

'We are too young to be serious in this matter. Yeah broke up with him and be happy on your own. Focus on being successful' Natty said it to her self.

"Should I congratulate you two?" Natty said that made Stacy shock, she expect that she is going to be wild and cursing her but she is just calm.

"Natty-"

"No no don't be sorry. It's my fault anyway, that I get mad at you just because you and Zaizen just friends. I know that you like him and I'm sorry for destroying your friendship-"

"Are you done?" Zaizen said with an annoyed tone that shook the both of them.

Anger starting to eat Zaizen and his veuns in his neck start to shwon. Natty suddenly get scared of him when Zaizen hold her shoulder tightly.

"WHY?! WHY DID YOU LIE TO ME? WHY DID YOU HAVE TO DO THAT US!" Zaizen screamed that made Natty broke down.

Natty get what he is saying and she just cry. She slowly pull Zaizen's hands away and wipe her tears.

"Once in your life have you exprience being small? Cause I felt that when I'm with you. At first when I know that my scholarship is under your mother. I was hesistant because I feel like I'm just using you. So I had this in my mind that I should keep this quiet until when we got in college" Natty said

"But why? You know that I can understand that you are doing this because for your future! Nothing is to be ashame of that" Zaizen

"Zaizen your mother hates me for being with you. But instead of talking this matter to me, you choose to cheat" Natty said and she slowly breath in and out.

"Let's end this. I don't want a trouble for you and for me" Natty said and she walk away with a heavy heart.

We are young anyway we have years to find our love.
