loosely based on fuck me eyes by ethel cain because i love nat with ethel cain sooo enjoy

you’re a senior at wiskayok high school, and you’re on the yellowjackets soccer team. so is natalie, a girl you’ve briefly spoken to but very rarely interact with.

ever since you both joined the team in freshman year, you knew you liked her. she’d always been extremely attractive, she always smelled faintly of weed and lavender, you could sometimes hear nirvana playing from her headphones. no doubt she’s the coolest girl you’ve ever met. but you never spoke to her.

she, on the other hand, had always liked you too. but she, for whatever reason, never said a word to you either. it all changed tonight. it was the night before your team had to fly to nationals, and the team captain had said “no distractions”, but who the fuck was going to listen to that?

she threw a party, but you decided not to go. you had a fake id you always used to buy booze. so tonight, you went to go buy a pack of beer. because why not.

you walked to the liquor store because it was only a short walk from your house. and sure enough, the one and only, natalie scatorccio, was sitting on the curb smoking a joint. “hey. what’s up?” you spoke to her nonchalantly as you stepped closer, looking down at her.

”hey.. they fuckin’ carded me. usually all the other booze joints in this goddamn town don’t notice my id is fake.”

so, you helped her up, offered to buy her some booze, (somehow your id was more believable?), and she ended up walking back to your house with you as you both drank, talked and laughed about random shit, and passed her joint back and forth between the two of you.

a few (several) drinks later, one thing led to another somehow, and the next thing you knew, you were waking up in your bed, with a headache, the sun peeking through the windows and practically blinding you, and you could feel a cold arm slung around your waist. oh shit.
