Unfashionably Geeky

Chapter 16

UNFASHIONABLY GEEKY

As I was walking into school people were looking at me, and it wasnt just a few glances from people, it was full on staring from almost everyone.

At first I wasn't sure what it wasn't. I had made no more effort into my appearance than I usually do.

But eventually I came to the conclusion that my official relationship with Hansel spread faster than I had thought possible.

I was kind of enjoying all the attention, but I do prefer being in the shadows. I don't want to be known as what I was at my old school.

Speaking of my old school I saw Chloe making her way over to me.

"I hear that someone as herself a boyfriend." She said with a sneer.

I awkwardly shifted my weight to my other foot.

"Does he know about what you got up to at the party?"

I nodded, swallowing loudly. I forgot she saw me.

"I guess he must really like you if he is forgiving you for banging another guy."

"I didn't." I accidentally spoke too loud, I looked around to make sure nobody can hear me. "Do it with another guy." I whispered.

"Look who found their voice." She snickered at me. "Oh and remember what happened with your other boyfriend. No matter how loyal he is, remember I am irresitable." She pushed passed me, knocking into my shoulder purposely as she did.

I let go of a breath I didn't realize I was holding in. its true guys seem to chase her.

I made my way over to my locker, passing Lance in the process. He said hello, but I just glanced at him with a cold expression, I haven't forgiven him for what he said to me.

Once I reached my locker I saw that Ivy was waiting with a smile. I groaned what does she want!

"Hey, Kerina!" she said sounding happy, it was strange tone to hear from her when she is talking to me, normally it is just a patronizing tone.

"what do you want?" I asked, I didn't intend it to sound so rude, but she wasn't phased.

"A little birdie told me that you and Hansel are a couple now."

"That little birdie told right." I heard someone say behind me, I turned around to see Hansel.

He stood beside me flinging his arm around my shoulder.

"aww" she mused. "aren't you guys a perfect couple."

I couldn't help but cringe, she was trying to hard to be friendly.

"so, since there is no school tommorow we thought we would go to the beach, do you both wanna come with?" I was taken back by her offer. She wants me to come to the beach.

"umm... who is going to be there?" I asked.

"well, myself, Jacelyn, Monique, Lance, Hansel, and a few others." so pretty much the popular group I thought.

I pondered the idea for a moment. I haven't been to the beach in a while, and It is getting warmer....

"Yeah, sure!" I smiled.

"awesome! see you then" with that Ivy walked off, walking in the middle of the hallway, making people move aside in the process.

"I'm so glad you're coming." Hansel said.

he leaned down and pecked my lips. I winced slightly, but accepted his kiss. my face has healed slightly, its not as bruised it's barely noticeable but the only thing that is still sore is my lip.

"I'll pick you up tommorow and we'll drive down together." he suggested

"Sure. it was really weird that she asked me, don't you think? considering she hated me and all."

"Yeah, maybe she just realised that you are pretty cool"

"Sure..... or maybe it has something to do with us dating." I laughed, it's the only logical reason.

I sat on the coach, holding the Xbox remote in my hand. I bought a new game and I am beyond excited to try it.

I groaned when I heard the doorbell.

"why!??" I whined before walking towards the door. "seriously nobody wants me to play some games around here." I muttered under my breath.

I opened the door and saw Lance, holding a DVD, it was 'how I met your mother.' we always watch it together when one of us is sad.

I guess he has come to apologise.

"what?" I asked bluntly. I opened the door wide enough so he could come in.

walking towards the living room I could hear the front door close and footsteps following behind me.

"seriously you come here-" I was cut off by a hand covering my lips.

"shh, just listen!" I nodded and he took his hand off my mouth

"I know, I messed up. I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said those things to you. you didn't deserve it. it wasn't your fault that an idiot like Weston got drunk and did that to you, it wasn't like you were asking for it. I was way out of line and I really hope you forgive me." he pleaded.

I raised an eyebrow at him, I needed an explaination, as to why he said that stuff though. "why?" I asked.

"I got pretty drunk that night to be honest, anything that I said wasn't truth. and I was pissed off at Weston for doing that to you, I guess I took it out on you."

That was a pretty shitty explanation, I couldn't help but feel that he was leaving something out, but I was pretty impressed that he came and apologized for his actions. he is not one to apologize.

I didnt push it any further and I just nodded. "I forgive you, but if that happens again, I dont know if I could be as resilient."

he nodded understanding what I was saying. he came towards me letting me pick a 'how I met your mother' season.
