you’d get so confused when people said they were scared to start arguments with nat, or didn’t wanna mess with her. nat wasn’t scary or intimidating.. right? she was a complete loser? nope. that’s just how she acted around you.

natalie wasn’t scary, instead constantly flustered and doing lame things to try and impress you. for example, last week she tried to show you a football trick as you sat watching her on the bleachers, (she begged you to come), and she missed then hit shauna in the head.

it only got worse everyday. you didn’t think she and a crush on you or anything, mainly because you were completely oblivious.. but also because you’d assumed she was always like this. however, your opinion changed after having a conversation with jackie.

“yeah.. so natalie got really mad at me and now i’m kind cautious to talk to her.” jackie mumbled, folding her arms.

your eyebrows furrowed and you let out a scoff / laugh. “natalie wouldn’t be mean to anybody. when she thought i was mad at her she called me to apologise…”

jackie’s head slowly rose up to look at you, a smirk forming on her face. “really?”

after seeing natalie’s harsh messages on the yellowjackets groupchat, usually to jackie or travis, your opinion changed. maybe she did have some sort of soft spot for you..

you were over at natalie’s one night, watching her take her makeup — strictly eyeliner — off in the mirror as you laid on her bed.

“i’ve never known how to properly do eyeliner yknow.” you mumbled, sitting up.

natalie turned to look at you then stood up off her desk chair. “c’mere.” she muttered, leaning down to your level after you perched yourself on her chair.

“look up.” natalie said softly, before dragging the pen swiftly across your under eye. you glanced down at her momentarily, catching the look in her eyes. she was so clearly fucking inlove with you.
