Scared? Fearing the very girl he humiliated at the last vortex party? No, not after the public humiliation he was answered with earlier that morning. What enraged him further was the female's audacity to question his own inquiry without acknowledging his words in the slightest or opting to deliver a proper answer. Maybe it'd have not been such a big issue if not for the massive amount of egocentricity and narcissism he suffered from. Something his allies and friends fed him on a daily basis. ❝ You think this is fun, don't you, you damned creep? ❞ The aggression in his voice was rather obvious, his fingers twitched from the intensity of anger which flowed through his veins at that very moment. He was never looked down on, let alone being questioned or humiliated.
❝ I ain't scared, you little bitch! You don't even know who the fuck I am! ❞ Nathan exclaimed, his tone just growing unhinged by each passing minute until it finally took over his psyche as it usually does when he's under pressure, feeling insecure, cornered. In one swift motion he pulled out the handgun he carried with him, the muzzle pointed directly at the female's forehead while his hand trembled under the rising anxiety that was slowly setting in, the index on his right hand hovering over the trigger similar to a landmine waiting to explode under the slightest pressure.
This wasn't what he was accustomed to. Being questioned, being pushed around, having his insecurity questioned and mocked even. No one ever dared to do so, not even Max Caulfied. Even Chloe surrendered at the gun point and wanted him to withdraw till the fire alarm saved her sorry ass and now he stood here, before a girl he loathed just as the rest two, the girl he humiliated just because she had the audacity to set her eyes on him. He couldn't understand how she even had this sudden willpower and strength to confront him after that night at the party, and that only fueled his anxiety further. It gave rise to a tension between the two which could be considered razor thin at this moment.
