Hot Nerd

I Am Too Nice To People

I was being dragged against my will into the canteen. During the time Zach and Zara had been talking to each other, Zach had invited Zara and me to eat with the rest of them. It had saddened me slightly that Hunter hadn't invited me to eat with them again, but I understood. Even fake dating me, I was still considered a nerd.

While being dragged away, I had come to the conclusion that I am too nice to people. I give in quickly, and say yes to most things.

If I hadn't have been so nice, I would have forced Zara to go in by herself and talk to Zach some more, except the fearless Goth Queen was too scared to go in alone.

You'd think that even though she'd only been away from this school for a year that she wouldn't be this scared.

After getting into the canteen, Zara looked around until she saw Zach waving us over. She waved back, seeming to forget that their was about a 1000 other kids behind us waiting to get past. I was glad that she seemed to like someone, and I approved of her dating Zach.

I looked around the table, my eyes automatically trying to find Hunter. Sitting next to him, were the She-devils, one on either side.

Kaitlyn seemed to be trying to catch his attention away from McKenzie, who to my shock he had his arm around her. It was that lazy kind of way a boyfriend would put his arm around his girlfriend, to show she was his, but that he didn't own her. If that made any sense.

I felt more overwhelming sadness, knowing that he had never done cutesy little boyfriend things with me, even I was just his fake girlfriend.

I expected him to turn around when he heard Zach shout our names, but he didn't. He seemed so engrossed in what McKenzie had to say.

The way he looked at her, was a way no-one had ever looked at me before.
It was a look of-- I couldn't put my finger on it. Though that niggling sense of something was back, like when Hunter talked about McKenzie before.

I slowly walked over to the table, Zara looking ready to run over there. I sat down, trying not to look at Hunter. I failed.

I turned to say something to Zara, but she was already talking to Zach.

Great. No-one wanted to talk to me.

I looked up again, desperately trying to catch Hunters attention.

This time, his eyes briefly found mine, I opened my mouth ready to speak to him, but he just gave me a quick smile and then turned back to McKenzie.

I felt my insides churn, and my blood boil. He was ignoring me, to talk to her.

Okay, that was a bit of an exaggeration, but the least he could have done was say hi, or shown that he was going to talk to me soon.

Suddenly, I had lost my appetite.

I didn't know why him ignoring me made me so angry and hurt, we were only in a fake relationship.

A sudden thought crossed my mind. I wonder why Hunter wanted to fake date? I knew mine was to get not become the laughing stock in front of Kaitlyn, but what was Hunters?

I thought about this for a while, until I heard a slight snigger from where Kaitlyn was sitting.

I looked up, and saw everyone staring at me.

I looked back bewildered.

"What?" I asked, unsure why everyone at the table was staring at me.

"I was just asking you how you and Hunter got together. I mean, it seems kind of unlikely right." McKenzie said, making sure everyone was still staring.

I just stared, confused, trying to take in her words.

When I realised what she had said, I glanced up, to see what Hunters reaction was.

I don't know what I was expecting. Maybe for him to stand up for me and tell them that it wasn't "unlikely" for us to date.

But no, McKenzie had spoken, and he never stands up for me when she's involved.

Everyone was still staring, waiting for my answer.

"Well, it was right when Hunter joined this school. We had talked a few time, became friends and said we wanted to become something more." I say, making it up.

Everyone seemed satisfied by this answer, except for the She-Devils.

"What about the kiss at the party?" Kaitlyn said innocently.

"I mean, you kissed me when you were apparently "dating" that. So were you dating her at the time?" Kaitlyn continued, managing to get a bit more attention.

I stared at Hunter, willing him to answer instead of me.

McKenzie looked shocked at the fact that he had kissed Kaitlyn.

"Yes, we were dating, but I was drunk out of my mind, and I wasn't thinking straight. I already apologised to India when I realised what I had done." Hunter answered.

Kaitlyn sat back in her chair, clearly still unhappy with the answer she got given.

Suddenly a loud crash had sounded next to me. I turned quickly, just in time to see the plate of Zach's food on Zara, and Zara, well, had fallen on Zach, and was at present, staring into his eyes.

That was the look Hunter and McKenzie had.

It was small, but there. With both of them.

Love.

Hey Guys.

Long time no read.

I have decided to not have updating days, and update when I can, because it is getting really hard to juggle all my after school activities and writing.
So as of now, I'm going to update when it's possible for me.

Has anyone seen the OUAT season 4 finale? Because it blew my mind!

So Hunter is being a coward and not sticking up for India.
McKenzie is being her usual amazing self-note sarcasm-. Kaitlyn is trying to cause trouble. Zara and Zach seem to be getting their romancing on, and India seems to be getting more and more jealous of Hunter and McKenzie.

So good chapter or nah?

I kind of know how I want this book to go, but these "filler" chapters just get planned as I write.

Anyways, enough typing, I'll update whenever I can next.

Bye
