He blinked at her. "Why are you yelling at me? It was a joke, Natalie."

"Well, it wasn't funny!" She snapped, then took a breath, pushing her hair back, looking away from him.

"Why are you so upset?" Eli asked her, confused.

She winced. She couldn't tell him why she was so worried without admitting that she'd followed him. "I just...don't want you to lose your stupid scholarship if you get caught selling."

Eli raised his eyebrow. "I'm not sure why you care, but I appreciate that, Blondie."

She lifted a shoulder, but didn't look at him. "I've grown rather fond of you, I suppose. You don't bore me."

Eli laughed. "And I never will, kiddo. But you just met me, it's a little early to go off telling me what I can and cannot do, ain't it?" the bell rang and Eli patted her shoulder, leaving the closet.

She let him leave this time, a little shaken up that she'd let her guard down that way.
The rest of the day went by, and she found herself sitting in her car after everyone had left, except a handful of cars left in the lot.

Just long enough to see Ashley Goldstein get into Eli's van and drive off with him.
((Eli's a bad boy. What can I say?))
The next day, Eli found Natalie in front of her locker again. "Hey Princess. How about working on that chem homework during lunch today?"

((Oo!))
Natlie slammed her locker shut. "You can go fuck yourself." She pushed past him, heels clicking angrily down the hallway. She needed a cigarette. Bad.

"Gosh. That was rude!" Eli called after her, chuckling a bit and then heading off to class.

Natalie was in a foul mood the rest of the day, snapping at anyone who tried to talk to her. She was pissed off and annoyed. And hurt. Which just made her more pissed off and annoyed.

Eli passed around a joint with Bryce Johnson and a couple of his friends behind the bleachers during lunch.

Natalie made her way to her spot under the bleachers for a cigarette, then nearly tripped over herself when she saw Eli with people under there. "What the--goddammit, what the hell are you guys doing here?"

"Shit. It's Natalie Duncan!" Bryce said, laughing when he saw her. "If she don't like you or what you're doing, she'll tell her dad and-" He slid his finger across his throat. The other guys laughed.
Eli narrowed his eyes. "Don't be an asshole, Bryce. She's just pissed we took her spot." He glanced at her. "There's plenty of room for you, too."
