The Nerd's Scheme

Chapter 9

Khloe

"What's with that face? You looked exhausted... and pissed" Anya asked as I entered our condo

She was sitting on the couch with a bowl of popcorn on her hands

I sat on the couch and leaned on the backrest. I closed my eyes, trying to relax. What happened earlier was really exhausting. Makipagtalo ka ba naman kay Logan

"Did something happen?" Anya asked

"Just the usual thing" I answered without giving her a glance

"So it's Logan again. You know what? I can't help but wonder..." she trailed off

"I understand if you keep seeing and dealing with him as nerdy Khloe but even with this real Khloe Emerald? Damn. Don't you think you are destined to each other?"

I opened my eyes and glared at her. What kind of shit is that? I won't accept it

"Did you hit your head or something?"

She pursed her lips and placed the bowl she was holding on the center table

"Why? Does it sound ridiculous to you?"

"It's totally absurd"

"You really hate him, huh?" she shrugged and turned her attention back to the movie she was watching

"You don't have to state the obvious" tumayo ako at nagpaalam na sa kanya na papasok na ng kwarto

I took a hot bath before I went to my bed. I opened my phone to check if there are messages from my Mom. I saw one reminding me to eat on time and have a proper rest. After replying to her, I placed my phone on the bedside table

I deactivated my accounts on social media. It is safe that way. Hindi rin naman mahilig gumamit ng social platforms sila Mommy. Mas preferable sa kanila ang personal meetings

I did some homeworks before I decided to go to sleep. Ipinikit ko ang mga mata ko pero agad din napamulat nang marinig ang message tone ko. Did Mom reply to my message? I expected her to read my message tomorrow since it's already late

Kinuha ko ang phone ko at tinignan kung sino iyon

'Hey Nerdy'

It was from an unregistered number. Nerdy? It only means that this person is someone I know from the school. But who could it be? I'm sure it wasn't Xavier. I mean, hello? He's the real nerd here

Bago pa ako makakuha ng sagot sa tanong ko ay may pumasok ulit na message

'This is Logan'

Can't I have a peaceful night? Why this jackass keep bothering me?!

Hindi ko ito nireplayan at ibinalik ang phone ko sa bedside table. I ignored his next messages but after awhile, my phone rang. Hindi talaga ako titigilan ng bwisit na lalakeng yun!

I took my phone and turned it off. I don't know why he was calling me this late but whatever it is, I don't give a damn!

Sa sobrang inis ko ay late na akong nakatulog kagabi kaya pag pasok ko ay medyo disoriented ako. I didn't even understand what Anya was saying. Medyo nakaidlip pa nga ako sa sasakyan

"We're here, Nerdy. Wake up" she snapped her fingers in front of me

I groaned. Kinuha ko ang bag sa backseat at bumaba. Can I just skip my first class? I really wanna sleep!

"Hey! You forgot your book!"

Hinabol pa ako ni Anya dahil medyo nakalayo na ako sa kanya. See? I'm not in my usual self. This is Logan's fault!
