In the life of a nerd.

Chapter 4.

Jessica's P.O.V
It's been three weeks since Mike and I caught up for studies because Mike didn't want to miss his basketball practice.
Sometimes, I hang around the court and sit there pretending to read a book. Ugghh! How much I miss playing basketball!
No one in this school knows that I do sports. If they would, they would just bully me more.
Mike doesn't talk to me much and I don't initiate. His locker happens to be three lockers away from mine so if we happen to meet, he hits me on my shoulder and says, "hey nerdie!" And runs away.
-**-*-*-**-*-*-*-*-
It's time for it again. I almost want to bury myself again. Exams. I know I am exaggerating and all that but every time, I feel like a large part of my heart has dropped.
All the books and papers and this and that, the visits to the library twice a day; it's all so tiring!
_____________________________
So, I've got all my books laid out and I was just deciding where to start when I got a call. It was Mike.
"Um...Hello?" I said.
"Sup nerdie? What are you doing?"
"Umm..."
"Lemme guess. Studying?"
"Yeah. I guess you are right." I said. Still wondering why he called.
"So, why'd you call?" I asked him.
"The thing is, I can't believe my aunt. She asked me to start my studies for my exams!! Ugghhh! You know we still have two months for them to start!! Who studies so early?"
"So, better do start your studies, Miss Stacy does not look good angry."
"I know. I am trying to study but I am not in the mood. I have realized that I can only study with....you." he said. I could feel a tone of guilt in his voice.
"Oh. So...what now?" I asked him.
"I am coming over. In fifteen minutes. Bye."
And so he hung up. What?! Fifteen minutes?!

Ding Dong!!
Probably Mike's here so I open the door. Mike is standing there with his bag in his shoulder looking very muscular and handsome.
"Umm....hi. Come in."
Mike enters and greets my mum and goes upstairs.
"Woah!! Girl, you are such a big nerd! You were never like this remember?"
I smiled shyly and then quickly closed my other books and opened math.
"Umm....where do we start?" I asked him wondering if he has any plan.
"Nay. Idk nerdie, you tell me."
So I told him we'd start with Algebra.
"Pffftt."
"What?" I asked.
"Nothing. I hate algebra." He replied. He looked cute when he frowns.
We finished three parts in an hour.
"See? Its that simple. You take those two equations and then cross multiply them, and voila! You have the answer. You just have to substitute then."
Mike just stared at me with his mouth open for a while when I laughed and asked, "What happened?"
He replied "I have just defied the laws for Mikology."
"Mikology? I asked. Mike nodded and said, "Yup. Mikokogy. The set of rules followed by Mike in his life." I laughed.
Mike was awesome. I loved his company. No one talked to me like he did except my mom because I ain't got any friends. No one talks to me so my mom and Mike are the only ones. :(

"Nerdie, I am bored." Mike was still at my place. I was making my exam timetable and Mike was watching me.
"What do you want to do?" I asked him.
"Let's go for a drive. My aunt didn't drop me today so I have my Mercedes." He saod excitedly.
"Umm...drive? Really? I am not in the mood Mike, you go for a drive and then go straight home. If your aunt calls, I'll her that you are just finishing. Okay?" I told him.
Drive?! With Mike? I would rather die than go for a drive with him. I get nervous. Hell yeah I do!
"Come on! Dont be a baby. When was the last time you went for a drive? When you were born? Come on nerdie, it'll be fun!" Saying this he grabbed my wrist and took me downstairs. I was staring at his hands on my wrist. Then I looked at Mike. He was biting his lower lip. His pink-lips and his blue eyes were all time goals. He was prince charming by himself.
"Hey Mrs Freshers! I am taking Jessica put for a drive. Would you mind?" Mike asked my mum.
"Oh that's wonderful! Have fun!"
*facepalm*
My mom is just...so annoying sometimes. Why couldn't she say no?! Oh yeah. She cares about my life more than I do. Moms.

Mike let go of my wrist and sat in the frint seat. I opened the back door when I thought : 'Will it look bad to sit at the back? What will he think of me?' But anyways I opened the back door and as I put one leg in, Mike said "Come sit in the front. Why sitting at the back?"
I bit my lip. I have to sit with him now. So I sat in the front seat and shut the door. Mike drove us to a place quite far away from my home.
"Where are we going?" I asked him. Mike looked as if he had a place in mind.
"St.Burritos." [P.S: I just made that place up. What do you think? :P]
I laughed. "What kind of a name is that?"
He smiled and said, "The name might be odd but the burritos and the ice cream is something that should be on your bucket list."
I nodded my head and smiled. It was soon dark and the sky was so clear you could see hundreds of beautiful twinkling stars in the sky.
We reached the place few minutes after and the place was like a small garage. It was decorated very heavily probably for Christmas but why 7 months early?
Probably the old decors just stayed there.
Mike got out and came back after 15 minutes. He was holding two burritos and one bottle of water.
"Yummmm!!! This tastes so good!" I speak with my mouth full.
"Told ya!" Mike replies with his mouth full as well. His cheekbones were very clear while he was chewing. He was bloody perfect!
We finished our burritos and sat in the front of the car. Mike was lying next to me holding my hand and looking at the stars.
I was looking at him. He was my most beautiful star, he just didn't know.
"Jess?" Mike speaks up in a very low tone.
"Hmm?" I reply. "You know, I never brought any of my girlfriends here. It was kind if my secret place. Whenever I get bored or frustrated, I come here and look at the stars."
I stare at his eyes for a while. "Hmm...." I say. I didn't know what to say.
"Idk what came over me and I brought you here. I think we've become good friends now. Haven't we?" He said.
"Yeah. I guess we have." I say. I was very happy.
It was the perfect end to a perfect night. Mike dropped me at my house. He gave me small friendly hug and let me go.
I was very tired so I straight went to sleep thinking of Mike.
