CHAPTER 07: I’m Sick, Literally
JINX. I don’t know if that’s the proper word to describe my day... Or my whole life, maybe. Today is supposed to be the day I’ve been waiting for. It’s Freeda’s birthday, and she wanted me to come. Mom already let me go, just because I lied. I told her that I need to go there for a school project. And maybe that was the reason why I’m on my bed right now, laying with an aching head.
Karma strikes that fast and bad. Now I got to add another rule on my manual, and that is, “Never lie to your Mom.” After denying my bestfriend, lying to my Mom, and wanting to be popular instead of being a goodie-goodie student, I can now conclude that I’m a sick person. And yes, that statement is both metaphorical and literal. I’m sick, literally.
“Nat? Why aren’t you waking up? Are you going to school or what?” I heard my Mom shouted from the other side of the door.
“Mom... I’m not feeling well...” I tried

IT’S been two days since I got this stupid fever. And ever since that day, I haven’t gone to school. Mom wanted to bring me to the hospital on my second day but I begged her not to. That’s why yesterday and the other day, Aunt Jessica came here to check me up. Luckily, she didn’t pursue Mom to bring me to the hospital. I don’t like going to school but I feel like I’ve missed a lot about it. I wanted to tell Aunt Jessica that I like to see Nathan, but every time that I tried to, I remember the last day that I saw him. He looked furious, and I don’t want him to visit me here looking mad. I feel guilty, not having a chance to apologize to my bestfriend. Also, I’m wondering what happened to Freeda’s birthday party. Did she tried to find me? Did she got worried when I haven’t gone to school? Or does she even care? I can’t help but to think about it. Maybe she’s mad at me becau
Natalia’s High School Manual CHAPTER 09: Felt Neglected?
MONDAY. Mom finally decided to let me go to school again. I came with Nathan, and I haven’t seen Freeda yet until lunch. It’s becoming clear to me now what Nathan’s been talking about when he visited me at our house. I could still remember his same, exact words as I walked through the hallways of our school. “Groups are starting to form, Nat. And what I mean by that, literally. Everything is starting to change.” “Why?” I asked innocently I him. It’s only been a week so I highly doubt that it will happen that fast. “I don’t know. Freeda is now talking to some girls in our school. Popular girls, to be specific. And they are calling her queen or whatever...” “Then I’ll still talk to her.... But this time I wouldn’t deny you as my bestfriend anymore. I’ll tell her the truth.” “Well, that’s good to know. But I don’t think that you could still talk to her just like that. She was surrounded by different boys and girls who
Natalia’s High School Manual CHAPTER 10: Alone Or Lonely?
NOW is Nathan’s turn to be absent. It was already been a week since Tyler threatened me about that thing that I did to his relationship with Freeda. We are now on our third week of school but thankfully, Tyler didn’t do anything to me about that certain thing... Yet. Maybe because I’m always having Nathan around but I still didn’t tell him about it, of course. If there is one thing that I learned about the events last week, that is on rule number seventeen of my manual which is to “never meddle in anyone’s life.” Well, that rule is more like minding my own business here at school. Back to the top, as I’ve said earlier, Nathan isn’t going to school for days now just like what I did before when I got sick. Because of that, I can’t help but to think that maybe, just maybe, I passed a fever into him. I should take it back if only I can. So I decided to visit him later af
Natalia’s High School Manual CHAPTER 11: New Beginnings
PANIC rushed through me instantly when I saw Aunt Jessica’s reddish eyebags. Looks like she’s been crying all night long. I wanted to know why, but I decided to just shut my mouth up for my curiosity could bring me to another trap. I learned that from the rule number seventeen of my manual. “Nathan is in his room, Natalia. Just knock before you enter. You know how grumpy he could gets.” She faked a laughter, but I didn’t buy it. I just thrifty smiled at her instead. As I made my way upstairs towards Nathan’s room, I saw their family picture on the floor with a broken glass frame. I instantly picked it up, before I decided to hang it again by the wall. When I reached the front door of Nathan’s room, I knocked several times, hoping he would answer. But he didn’t. So I decided to ignored Aunt Jessica’s advice and opened the door without anymore words. I barged i
Natalia’s High School Manual CHAPTER 12: Tyler’s Revenge
BEING bullied isn’t always as easy as everyone thinks about it. If they thought that I could just ignored it, well, they’re wrong. Not because it was our school bad boy, I should be glad because he’s paying attention to me. No, I would never be thankful for being the apple of Tyler’s eye. “Hey, normie girl!” I was surprised when somebody suddenly clung into my arm. It was Becca, looking happy for apparently no reason. Nathan is still absent so I was left with no choice but to talk to her just to prevent myself for having a spoiled saliva in my mouth. “Hey, Becca...” I tried to add a little bit enthusiasm in my voice, but it sounded like fake. “Looking good. Where’s your nerd bestfriend, any way?” she asked. My mind was half debating if I should tell her the reason why. But I know that Nathan will be mad at me if ever. That topic w
Natalia’s High School Manual CHAPTER 13: My Hero
NOW I’m starting to get pissed by the fact that Nathan is still not going to school. I haven’t seen his face for a while but thankfully, Becca is here to fill in the emptiness that Nathan is causing to my system right now. “You know what, I really love Physical Education. How about you, Natalia?” Becca randomly asked. I sighed, remembering that we need to get our school uniforms for P.E. later on. I was traumatized by going in that same locker area because that is where bad things happened to me. But Becca assured me that she’s going to come with me later on to get her uniform as well to avoid anything that could happen to me because of Tyler’s never ending revenge. “Come on, cheer up, girl. I love volleyball.” “And I hate sports.” “Don’t worry. That’s why I’m here. I’ll get the ball before it hits your face.” We laughed in unison, th
Natalia’s High School Manual CHAPTER 14: Your Friends?!
AFTER a hundred billion years, Nathan finally decided to show up in school, making my heart jumped in excitement as well as happiness. I badly wanted to tell him everything that happened to me these past few days. And also, I wanted him to meet the new friends I found, Becca and Scott. Well, Becca often told me that we are friends now, so I guess it was official. And she often hang out with me as well so that’s it. Second, for Scott. He didn’t say anything that may lead me into this conclusion, but yeah, I think we are now friends right after he helped me from that “accident” that Tyler did the other day. “I missed you so much, Nat!” Nathan stated, pinching my cheeks tightly. “Stop it! It hurts, you idiot!” I got my revenge by doing the same thing to his cheeks. Now we are both walking down the hallway like we put on some blush on to our face right af
Natalia’s High School Manual CHAPTER 15: Our Squad
NATHAN said that he wouldn’t be friends with Becca and Scott, but I highly doubt about that right now. It’s been months since we started our little squad... And it’s going really well. The four of us are becoming closer and closer to each other, including Nathan. Well, it was written in the rule number eight of my manual that I should never listen to Nathan’s nonsense statements. I’m glad I followed that. “Can we just go out or something? It’s getting boring in here!” Becca complained. It’s weekend, and we are currently at Nathan’s room, letting the time passed by while doing apparently nothing. Scott and my bestfriend are playing a video game, while Becca and I are reading some magazines. “You know what, guys, Becca is right. We should get out...” I complained. Nathan and Scott didn’t say anything. In fact, the two of them are c
