A Surreptitious Geek (Chapter 9)

 CHAPTER 9

     I drove home and rain began to pour on my winshield. Tap after tap of the continuous melody of the rain began to make me thing of Bradon's tears.

"Oh how he teared up in front of me," I say quietly to myself.    

     I parked my car in my driveway. I look over at my little brother who was finally home from his tournament in Spain for soccer. He's fifteen and I feel that he is already ready for the world. Ready to travel to new places, and is ready, to leave. I get out of my car and I hugged Noah, glad to see his handsome face again. We break apart and he just stares into my eyes, then he says his sweet, but quiet words.

"I have been so busy, that I forgot to tell you my name," he says with a laugh. I laugh with him, but I wasn't sure if I could actually have a natural laugh like he did.

"Yeah..." I said, but my heart was aching him to stay with me.

"I got you something," he says with a hot smile. And though, I do admit, he is a hot looking teenager. I smile and I hugged him so tight that I wanted to cry in his arms, because I felt loved. For once in my life! I felt loved.

"How was Spain?" I asked while opening up the fancy present. The silky bow kissed the skin on my hand.

"Good, I made a lot of the goals! I was beast out there! Two pro coaches came up to me and they asked who I was! These two coaches are on Barcelona! They own Messi and Xavi! This is awesome!!" he yells with excitment. I smile and did a small laugh. I popped the gift open, and there was this beautiful necklace that was for me. I opened my mouth with awe.

"Where did you get this?" I asked with amazment.

"Oh, well, I told one of the coaches that I have a sister, so the took me to a fancy store. They told me to buy anything that I liked." I brushed my fingers across the pinkish rose that had a tag on it.

"Urban Outfitters?" I asked with a smirk.

"I didn't want to be pushy?" he said with a laugh.

"You got this in America you little liar!" I laughed. I smiled but the necklace was beautiful. The gold chain shimmered and sparkled like diamonds in the light. I smiled.

"Thanks Noah." I walked off and I ripped the tag off and I put it on. I the keys and I began to drive off to work. I pass by Bradon's house and he was outside playing football with his buddies. He seemed to be okay for me, so I still kept on pushing on the peddle. When I arrived at work I parked my car in the "Employees" parking. I got out and I walked into the fashion store, Urban Outfitters.

"Hey, your brother came in today," she said with a laugh. I laughed.

"I know, he gave me a present," I said with a laugh.

"Hey, Selena Gomez came in yesterday," she said with a smile.

"She wanted to-"

"Who cares about her?" I said interrupting her with a smile. She laughs.

"Well she is famous. Remeber?" I chuckle.

"Anybody can date Justin Bieber. Even a guy can date him because they mistaken him as a girl," I say with a laugh. Jaton laughs. Her poofy afro goes up and down, as her beautiful dark skin glows in the light. I smile because she always has that fun aroma around her. It makes you think how lucky you are.

     The doors open. I look over with a smile, but it soon fadded. Jenna was there with her plastic clang. Jaton's smile fades too because she knows them too. She has to sit by them in her house. Sadly, we are both seperated.

"Wow, look at these two skanks," she says to us. I look at Jaton. She only smiles.

"The clearance aile is that way," she says, pointing at the clearance section. Jenna growls.

"Shut up bitch," she says. Jaton leaps back and acts offended.

"Oh, my, God! I'm SOO hurt!" Jaton says with a laugh. I laugh. Jenna shots me a look and I only laugh.

"You know this is a shop right?" I asked.

"No, it's a patato farm?" Jenna says sarcastically.

"Well, shop." She rolls her eyes, then she pushes me. I roll my eyes.

"You're such a child!" I yell. The manager looks over and grins. I freeze. The manager rolls her eyes and began typing.

"Oh shut up! At least I'm too scared to talk to a boy!" she yells. The manager looks over.

"Yeah! Well at least I don't have sex with every boy that I meet!"

"Yeah hoe! At least I had my first kiss!" Jenna pushes me right into the table with full-on force. I wince when I collided into the table. I hit the ground and I pant. Jaton looks at Jenna in disgust, then punches Jenna right in the eye. She hits the ground hard.

"Bring it bitch!" Jaton yells.

"ENOUGH!" the manager yells. Jaton and I freezed right in our tracks. The manager rushes over and picks up Jenna.

"Get out of my store! Now!" she yells. Jenna has tears falling down her eyes and then she runs off. Jaton smirks and then her muscular arm grab me and throw me back up. He muscles really showed off.

     The manager looks at us and then she sighs.

"Since Jaton designs some of the clothes in the company, I can not fire you. But if this happens again! You two will be in HUGE trouble!" We look at each other and we let out a breath of relief.

"Now, go organize the clothese," she says with disgust. She walks off and we did as we were told. I look over at Jaton and I hug her so hard she winces.

"You were beast!"
