A Secret Nerds Crush

Chapter Six - Plenty More Fish In The Sea

"So what's going on with you? You look, down" asked Georgia as her and Shane cracked open their fourth beer together, sat on a log, at the woodland party. "Oh. Just a girl I used to talk to. I don't wanna talk about it" mumbled Shane as he looked sadly at the ground, dizzy from the alcohol.

"You don't have to talk" said a drunken Georgia as she grabbed the back of Shane's muscular neck and pulled him towards her slowly. Shane, equally as intoxicated, thought, 'fuck it. Why not?' as their lips met. Shane sucked on Georgias lips as she gripped his wavy hair and the two then fell back off the log, and onto the ground.

Shane wrapped his arms around Georgia and pulled her into his body as he landed on his firm back, to cushion her fall. The two, now lay on the ground together, and they started to laugh hysterically with each other.

"Wow Shane, you're so cute. That other bitch doesn't deserve you" whispered Georgia as she nibbled on Shane's ear slightly. "No she doesn't" moaned Shane in response as they suddenly moved in for a second kiss.

Suddenly, chaos broke out in the woods as blue and red lights flooded the trees and sirens echoed. Teenagers began to run in every direction as police officers chased the ones which they could. "Oh shit" laughed Shane as he stumbled to his feet and ran deep into the woods, holding  Georgia's hand to save her from the law.

Just a few moments later, the two found themselves deep in the woods, alone. "What's the matter?" asked Shane as he looked to Georgia who seemed rather nervous. "It's just. Last time I was out here, alone with a guy. He did things. Things that still haunt me" she said looking up at Shane with dim, green eyes.

Shane tutted and lifted her chin with his slender finger "I ain't that dude Georgia. You're safe with me. I promise I'd never do anything like that" he reassured.

Georgia smiled more confidently as she hugged Shane, feeling the warmth of his body as it intertwined with hers.

The two sat deep in the woods together for a while longer, Shane told her about how he wrestled for the school, and how him and Sophie had fallen in love, but she just suddenly treated him as if he didn't exist.

"That's awful. I'd never treat anyone like that, ever!" said  Georgia as she held Shane's significantly larger hand to comfort him. Shane let out a small chuckle through his breath. "What?" smiled Georgia. "Why do all girls have small hands?" he mumbled as he gazed down at the small hand which now rested upon his.

"Shut up asshole" Georgia giggled as she playfully slapped his well build shoulder. "Want me to take you home?" Shane smiled as his blue eyes sparkled with love. "Definitely" smiled Georgia gleefully.

Shane then walked Georgia home, a few blocks from his house, and then continued home.

The following day at school, Shane saw Georgia walking to her second period, whilst he made his way to his. "HEY!" yelled Shane as he grabbed Georgia's shoulder from behind. Letting out a small scream of terror, Georgia hastily turned around and looked up. Her face turned from an expression of horror, to one of joy, as a smile painted her beautiful, rose coloured cheeks. "I thought you were lying when you said you come to this school" she chuckled, moving closer to Shane. "I don't lie" Shane added seductively as his breath brushed past her small face.

"We should do something tonight, big boy" she said, stroking his chest, clearly impressed by Shane's large build. "Whatever you want girl" he whispered as he gently held her minute hand. "Cinema date?" she suggested as she mumbled, "only if we sit at the back" Shane winked in response.

The two proceeded to class and there she was, sat at the front of class. Sophie. Her head looking forward, completely ignoring Shane's existence once again. 'Bitch' Shane thought to himself as he glanced over at her blonde head, before continuing with his work.

"Hey. Is it true that you and Sophie broke up?" whispered a girl from the desk next to him. "We were never together" replied Shane with a slightly angered voice as he side eyed the intrusive girl.

To his surprise, he heard a chair move at the front of the class. As he looked up, he could see that it was Sophie, sniffling as she grabbed her bag and quickly walked out of the class covering her face.
Shane rose from his seat in an attempt to pursue her.

"Sit" instructed Mrs Yankton. "But ma'am" argued Shane. "I said sit, Mr Wolsey. I shall deal with it" added Mrs Yankton as she strode out of the class and down the hallway, after Sophie.

This obviously caused a mass gossip session to break out in the classroom. Suddenly, everyone was talking about Sophie and Shane. The schools hottest gossip. At least for this week.

After school, Shane waited in the bitter wind, wearing his black jeans, white shirt, and his wrestling bomber jacket, to stay warm. He watched from a street post as Georgia emerged from her house. Dressed like an angel, so beautiful, as she walked down the steps and into the street below.

"Hey you" she smiled as her makeup and earrings glistened in the moonlight. "Hey" he smiled as he held her small, fragile hand in his, shielding it from the cold of the night.

The two spent their Friday night sat at the back of the cinema, holding hands and enjoying a shared box of popcorn together. "You eat like an animal" giggled Georgia as Shane tucked into the sticky treat. "Sorry" he chucked as some fell out of his mouth.

It was a wonderful moment. But Shane couldn't help but be reminded of when Sophie had come round for dinner just a couple weeks ago, and giggled at his animal like eating, just like Georgia did. This saddened his heart, but he looked to Georgia, and was reminded that he had moved on. Moved on to a girl, that actually appreciated him. A girl that was not, so clearly, emotionally unstable.

The two spent the weekend talking over text message, due to Georgia being dragged out on a fishing trip with her family. Something which her family enjoyed doing each weekend.

Monday finally came around, and Shane's longing for Georgia could finally be eased as he met her in the hallway, and shared a romantic kiss with her, now that she had returned.

To Shane's shock, he heard a locker door slam shut, across the hallway. His eyes darted to see what had happened, and he saw Sophie quickly walking away, and once again, weeping.

She had clearly seen Shane with Georgia.

This caused so much confusion for Shane. She ended things with him. She had broken, his, heart. Why did it bother her so much to see him moving on?

"Who's that?" asked Georgia. Shane took a long pause, as he stared into the direction in which Sophie had gone. "Just an old friend" he finally spoke.
