still , he plastered that usual smirk on his face , playing it off like everything was fine . it was easy to pretend when it was just nathan — they were familiar enough to have their little back-and-forths .

❝ What's that supposed to mean? Not my type. Like, not my type, or I'm not their type? ❞ He squints hard in the dark. ❝ You might not be here for that, but that's the best part. Tch! Cause otherwise? This is way too fucking lame. I wanna spend my summer getting laid, dude! ❞

Shifting in place, Nathan snorts audibly. Waiting for Chad to hit that shit, the young heir runs a shaky hand through his loosening hair. The day's gel has worn away, leaving him a little more raw and real.

❝ There's a girl in Seattle, but she's not here right now, so ... ❞

Victoria. Ironically named, actually. Sure, she's not his girlfriend, but she is something to him. Still, what he said stands true, and he doesn't even know why he's brought her up, but Nathan can't help it. He misses home, her, and being able to do whatever he wants. This is so fucked up.

❝ Y'know, it's whatevs, right? Like, what? She's probably not waiting for me. Pfft, I'm not gonna wait for her. I'm not her pet. And these girls? After this summer? I'll never see 'em again, so who cares? I'm sure as fuck not staying around here. I've got a life to get back to. For real? Fuck this place. ❞

" i didn't even wanna be here . "

he said it like it was a joke , but there was no laugh behind it . just a curl of smoke trailing up toward the stars . his legs stretched out across the cold dirt , heels of his loafers scuffing the ground like he was trying to dig his way out of it . he passed the blunt back without looking at nathan .

" my parents practically shoved me here . they think it'll make the ‘kensington brand’ look great or whatever , " he said , dragging out the word brand with exaggerated disdain . " like anyone gives a shit about how it looks while some hockey-mask psycho is rumored to be out here slicing people up . "

a beat passed . then he suddenly jerked up , clearing his throat and reaching for the flask again to chase the honesty down .

" chill , bro , i'm not your fucking therapist , alright ? " chad said , voice laced with that signature cockiness . he took a deep breath and rubbed his hand through his hair .

he grabbed the flask back from nathan , unscrewed the cap , and took a long swig before offering it back .

When Chad nabs the flask from Nathan, he almost snaps at Chad for it. Upon its return, Nathan takes a quick drink to keep up. He places the blunt behind his ear, fishing for his lighter before finding success. Taking another chug of the stuff, he passes it to Chad to hold (or sip — it's whatever).

❝ And yeah, you're not. I pay someone to be my therapist, dumbass. Trust me, he's way better at it. You? Could use some work. ❞ Nathan quirks a brow, getting their smoke session started. ❝ Kinda lame there's no chicks, though. Some of these girls are pretty hot. Would make this way better. ❞

still , he plastered that usual smirk on his face , playing it off like everything was fine . it was easy to pretend when it was just nathan — they were familiar enough to have their little back-and-forths .

he caught nathan's eyes , looking for any signs of instability , but for a moment , all he saw was the same intensity nathan always wore . there was something about nathan’s presence — something unpredictable , but also familiar in a way .

Being controlled is like a trigger for Nathan. Everyone around here knows that. Don't fuck with me. Leave me alone. Fuck off. All of it is classic Nathan. Some respect it, others hate it, and a few are curious. Overall, he's not exactly disliked, but he's known for being cruel over kind by nature, and picking out who he deems 'cool enough' to hang with Nathan J. Prescott.

❝ I am calm. Don't push me. You wanna smoke or what, dude? ❞

he grabbed the flask back from nathan , unscrewed the cap , and took a long swig before offering it back .

chad shifted his weight , glancing over his shoulder like he expected one of the senior staffers to pop out of the woods and narc on them . breath came out in visible puffs in the cold night air . he shoved his manicured hand into the inner pocket of his sleek designer jacket and pulled out a silver flask .

His words are harsh, though his tone is teasing. Nathan isn't in a bad mood tonight — not for real, at least — and, to be honest, he could give a fuck about this gig. It doesn't mean shit to him. It's just to clean up his record, which is hardly spotless. At his age, it's getting long, and his mom is getting really fucking mad at him lately.

Shit, she's been mad since I was first put on probation. Whatthefuckever.

❝ C'mon, man, don't fuck with me. IN OR OUT? ❞

he caught nathan's eyes , looking for any signs of instability , but for a moment , all he saw was the same intensity nathan always wore . there was something about nathan’s presence — something unpredictable , but also familiar in a way .
