I'm a Girl Undercover in An All Boy's School novel Chapter 17

My eyes watched as the huge spider crawled across my floor and I squealed going under my covers. One thing I hated more than anything was spiders. Those things acted like they owned the place. This spider was like the size of a baseball. Spiders had families and if you killed someone in their family those things came after you. I couldn't stay under there forever and I had the chance of losing the spider so I really only had a few options,

A.) Go hide in the bathroom.

B.) Call Nathan and make him come over here and kill it and then the spiders family could go after him.

C.) Put the spider on Caiden's bed and then kill it.

D.) All of the above.

Considering all of my options, I decided with D and grabbed my phone running to the bathroom and locked the door. I called Nathan and he answered the phone after two rings.

"Nathan! My favorite friend. My best friend. Do you know how much I love you," I said and he scoffed.

"You only want me to kill a spider don't you?" Nathan said and my eyes widened. Abort mission! Abort the mission!

"What of course not," I scoffed.

Who am I kidding?

"It's probably crawling on your bed as we speak," he said and I shivered at the thought.

"I lovee yoouuu," I said dragging out the last letters and he chuckled.

"I'll be over in a minute."

"Wait! You have to leave the body on Caiden's bed!"

He'll kill you for this.

I know.

"Anything else?"

"Can I stay in your dorm room tonight?"

"Yeah, my roommate should be gone for the weekend doing who knows what and plus I'd rather not find you dead on you bed bleeding out because of Caiden."

"This is why we're best friends," I told him and I could only imagine him rolling his eyes.

"I'm walking in now. Where is it?"

"By the TV," I told him before biting my lip.

The phone was silent for a moment before Nathan yelled, "It's dead on Caiden's bed. You may come out." Hanging up the phone I unlocked the door and walked out slowly.

"Again this is why you're my best friend," I said while grinning before grabbing my carry on and filled it with some girl clothes and some guy clothes. It would be nice to change into my usual shorts and tank top. I can't sleep with these long shorts and t-shirts anymore. I get too hot with this many clothes on.

"We're watching Les Misérables first," I said and he chuckled.

"I figured as much," his arm rested on my shoulder as we headed across the hall to his room. The second the door closed I had my wig off and let my blonde hair cascade down my back. Nathan got the popcorn and movie ready as I changed into my grey Soffe shorts and a purple tank top.

"Oh. You don't know how much I missed your beautiful blonde hair," Nathan said dramatically, pulling me into a random hug and putting his face in my hair.

"Are you smelling my hair?" I asked, scrunching up my nose and he pulled away with a cheeky smile on his face. We walked over to his bed and laid back in our usual positions where I was sitting in between his legs with my back rested against his chest with the popcorn bowl in my hands as the commercials played. My thoughts went back to that spider in my room and I couldn't help but feel bad. Life would be easier if I could talk to spiders.

But then they could be whispering creepy nothings in your ear while you sleep.

Right, right. But I could still ask him politely to leave without having to take his life.

Imagine how weird a spider would be if it could talk. The world would go crazy.

True, true.

"I sometimes feel like I should take you to get some help. Most people don't talk to themselves," Nathan said chuckling, and I gave him a curious look.

"Was I thinking out loud again?" I asked sheepishly.

"Right," I muttered, walking over to my bag. I took off my tank top and grabbed my wrap stuff and wrapped it around my chest.

"Claire-bear, how many times do I have to tell you that I am a guy," Nathan whined and I rolled my eyes throwing on a guy's shirt that said some basketball team on it. I put on a pair of blue jeans and a pair of converse.

"Nay-Nay," I whined back. "You're coming with me. I can't do this alone," Nathan just shook his head.

"You're going to need this," he said grabbing my wig and bald cap thing from the table next to his bed. I put the bald cap on, making sure my hair wasn't sticking up anywhere and then put on the brown wig.

"Don't give me that look you know I'm still half asleep," I muttered now opening the door I took out my key and put it in the door. I didn't open the door right away but instead took a quick glance at Nathan to see him only in his boxers.

Lazy bum couldn't even change.

I rolled my eyes at him before letting out a deep breath. I bit my lip nervously as I twisted the door handle. I didn't hide the scowl at the sight of my room. The place is a complete mess.to see my room was a mess.

I cleared my throat, preparing myself to kick some ass all while yelling a few swear words in between it all.

What the hell?" I snapped, looking at him. His menacing look reappeared. Caiden walked over slowly, almost tauntingly. His black boots stepping on a broken lamp. He looked like a lion going after its prey.

"What the hell?" Caiden repeated after me his words sounding deadly. His eyes looked so dark I wanted to just walk right out of the room.

"Man, it was just a spider," Nathan said and Caiden's eyes snapped to his. I cringed knowing that he said the wrong thing to him.

This probably was him just taking his bad mood out on me. I doubt it was the spider.

"How cute," Caiden said ominously, his sinister look not leaving. "Your boyfriend sticking up for you. Listen to me and listen well, you don't know who you're dealing with so you better stop with these fucking games," I took a very obvious step back and he took more threatening steps forward.

"It's only a small spider," I responded awkwardly, suddenly not feeling that great about it all.

"I don't give a shit about the spider. Keep messing with me and you will be begging the dean to transfer your stuff over to another school. Actually, I can't even promise you will make it that far. You may just drop school altogether," he said inauspiciously.

"You little fuc-" I started but Nathan put a hand over my mouth, stopping me. I removed his hand and decided to say instead, "What did I do to you?"
