Nerdy Love

Hoes.loveDomey

Monday was well... a day to remember. I expected a normal day, but that was not what I got. I walked in to 1st period: AP British Literature. I love writing, but this class is killing me slowly. Not to mention Dominic, who usually ignored me, came in and sat right beside me. The boy that came in looked at him and immediately surrendered his seat. Punk. I struggled to remain focused as Dominic tried to get my attention.

"I'm not going anywhere, baby girl. You can ignore me all you want, after a while you'll be putty in my hands." he said. "I'll put money on that." I turned to look at him.

"Well, I'll just have to make this worth your while so you can get your money's worth." I said.

"Let the games begin baby girl." He said.

Games?

What did I just get myself into?

When I got home, I did all of my homework, and walked down the stairs. I sighed as I opened the fridge.

"Hey McKenna." Tori waved. I looked at her. It was genuine. That's so weird. People just are so nice to me all of a sudden since I started wearing my contacts. Boys are recognizing that I'm not invisible. Girls think they can suddenly become my best friends. It's too much.

"Hey." I said as I walked out.

Usually, I would stay home until Dominic came over, but today, today was different. I walked to Courtney's house. I found her in her room. I plopped down with her on the bed. I pulled out my phone and went to Instagram. I clicked notifications and I had literally 300 follow requests. I opened them and looked. It was all people from my school- including Makayla. I never knew she unfollowed me. I started accepting them. I really only had one picture. It was a meeme that said, "My parents raised a very respectful lady with a very bad attitude problem, that has the biggest heart and is way too spoiled."

"Today was interesting." Courtney said. I nodded.

"I swear if one more person I don't know tries to be my best friend, I'm not going to be so nice." I said.

"It's because you were slayed today." She said.

"I let Makayla dress me." I said.

"Why?" She asked. I shrugged. I wanted to tell her why, but I didn't want her to know. I wanted Dominic's attention to remain on me. I already had it, and I needed to keep it. In a way, my glasses breaking was the best thing that ever happened to me.

"Come take a picture of me." I said. We got up and walked outside. The lighting was perfect, so I started posing. After a while, I grabbed my phone. I chose an of gaurd of me looking off to the side and laughing. I edited it a little on PicLab and then I posted it on Instagram. I got way more likes than I usually get. I had even more follow requests to the point where I made my page public because I got tired of pressing check or x.

"Hey," Dominic greeted us as we walked back into the house. "Everyone has been talking about you." He told me. These girls are debating about me like it's politics. I already knew that.

"What is everyone saying?" I asked.

"Nothing important." he shrugged. I grabbed a bottle of water and took a sip. He watched my every move intently.

"So why aren't you across the street?" Courtney asked.

"I was going, but that's when McKenna walked in here with you, and where ever she is, I want to be." Dominic said. I scoffed, but on the inside I was going crazy. Before I even replied, my phone started ringing. I looked down

"Hey!" I exclaimed.

"Wassup McKenna?" He asked. I paused.

"Since when do you call me McKenna?" I asked.

He never called me by my real name until now, and it really took me by surprise. We been rocking with each other for a while now. No, we aren't in a relationship, but we aren't just friends. It's really somewhere in between. We just have a unique connection.

"Since you decided to walk around acting like Makayla." He said.

"Don't insult my sister." I stated. The only people that can insult my sister are Micah and I. I will not tolerate it from anybody else unless I insinuate it.

"I didn't fall for Makayla, I fell for you, and you're turning into her." He said.

"Oh ok," I replied with no emotion. "Is that all you called for?"

"Yeah. I'll talk to you when that nerd is back." He said. I just hung up. It really has only been one day, and I haven't even talked to him today until now. What is going on with him?

"Boyfriend doesn't like the new attention?" Dominic smirked. I shrugged and waved it off.

"It doesn't matter." I said. Honestly feelings- What are thooose!

"I know how to make Logan realize what he's going to miss." Dominic said. I narrowed my eyes at him. Why exactly does he want to help me? He grabbed my phone and held it up taking a picture of his self. After taping on the screen for a while, he handed it back to me. He posted it on Instagram.

"McM... Just so you all know."

A few seconds later a comment popped up.

Hoes.loveDomey- You shouldn't have!!!! ILY2.

I rolled my eyes I would delete it but, I wanted to see how it played out. Why did he even say I love you too? That wasn't called for.

"You want to be my girlfriend?" He asked. I just looked at him and scrunched up my face.

"No." I stated. He just came out of nowhere. I like spontaneous, but that was a little weird.

"Well, come on MK. Let's go get something to eat." Courtney said.

"I'm hungry." Dominic said. We both just looked at him. Courtney shrugged and we walked out of the house to her car. Micah was standing on our porch with his phone to his ear. He ended the conversation with whoever he was talking to and jogged over to us.

"Where are we going?" He asked as he opened the car door.

Courtney and I just shook our heads and got into the car. She drove to Chick-fil-a. Dominic came and sat down right in front of me. I started eating my food in silence. I felt his eyes on me. I hesitantly looked up. He was smiling at me. I looked around confused.

"This feels like a date." He said to where only I could hear.

"You're really creeping me out." I stated. He just smiled harder.
A group of boys walked into the restaurant. I looked up surveying each one. It was just Logan, Dawson, and Lucas. Logan looked at me, then at Dominic.

"Is that the Logan that just glared me down," Dominic asked with a smile on his face. I nodded. He leaned closer to me "Giggle as if I said something hilarious." He instructed. I did as I was told. Logan walked up to the table.

"Mckenna can I talk to you?" He asked.

"Yeah." I said as I got up.

Once we were out of earshot,  "I'm sorry for assuming that just because you dressed like Makayla, you would act like her. I was just jealous of all of these other boys that were talking about you like they talk about her." He apologized.

Did Dominic just get us back together? What game is he playing?

"I accept your apology." I said.

"All of this made me realize it's time to stop playing. I want to make this official. McKenna, will you be my girlfriend?"
