I'm In Love With A Nerd

Chapter Two

First week of high school, win. I am completely tired of school already. I really just want this year to be over already. Pathetic I know. I was in my room getting ready to lay down. I put on my favorite shorts. They were really short but they were for sleep. They were pink with blue polka dots. I also had in a Cami. I walked down stairs to say goodnight. Charity stopped me before i could get to the stairs. She pulled me into her room.

"What the h-" She covered my mouth before I could even finish my sentence. 

"I need to talk to you." She said. I almost smacked her.

"You don't need to freaking pull me out of the hallway! I almost p-" I pulled her hand away from my mouth. "You better stop that."

"Listen, mom and dad are talking." I gave her a questioning look. "About us."

This time i almost smacked her. "So?"

"Mom and dad are fighting about something, but I heard our names. I have no clue what going on." 

"Whatever," I said ignoring the worry in her face. "I'm going to bed.

I walked out and down the hall. I went into my room and lay on my bed. I was wondering what they could possibly be fighting about. That's when Blake strolled his way into my mind. I started thinking about his hair and eyes. How is face looked when i told him we couldn't be friends. I felt bad for what I said. especially since no one else really liked him. That part, was no joke. You can walk into the lunch room and find going from table to table trying to find somewhere to sit.

After being rejected enough times for one day,. her would go an sit in the courtyard. I almost went and sat with him a few times, but that's when Halle would come in with two sense. She'd tell me he's not worth my rep. I always just agreed with her and sat in silence while I ate my lunch and listen to her go on and on about Billy Shoemaker. He was supposedly the hottest guy in the school, but he's a senior and Halle's a freshmen. I don't think he'd go for it. In a way that would mess up his rep I think. 

I looked at my clock. I had wasted almost and hour think about this. Halle had told me I shouldn't waste my time on him. Not only is he one of those misfit toys, he's a teachers pet. Always the first person to volunteer, no matter what the task.

I decided to just stop thinking about it. I turned off my lights, thank goodness the light switch was right by my bed, and covered up. I just turned over and fell asleep.

**** 

When I woke up on Saturday morning, the smell of chocolate chip pancakes, bacon, and eggs, Ahhhhhhh. I just love Saturday breakfasts. I walked down stairs and saw my mom in her heart apron, and in his Kiss The Cook apron, and Charity already munching. 

"Hey sleepy head. Did you sleep well?" My mom asked my as she made my plate.

"I slept great." I said, stretching to add emphasis. "Thank you for asking!" She smiled ad took back to my plate. A minute later i was at the table gobbling what had been put on my plate. At this point I was so hungry, I just wanted to open my stomach up and put the food inside. Forget all this chewing nonsense.

When I was done eating, I decided I was going to stay at Halle's that night. I texted her and said, "Hey, do you mind if I stay over tonight?" She replied, "Nahh man! That's cool! Come over at noon" 

"Hey mom?" I said to get her attention. 

"Yeah?" She said.

"Can I stay at Halle's tonight?"

"Well, yeah baby. That's alright. Do I need to bring you, is she coming to get you, or what?"

"I'm walking."

"Alright. When are you gonna go over?"

"Noon." 

It was already eleven. I walked upstairs to throw some stuff together. I didn't know what to bring. I grabbed my bag and I put in pajamma pants, a tank top, a pair of shorts, my flowy white shirt, and my socks. I looked at my phone, it was 11:15. I grabbed my stuff and told my mom I was leaving.

I started walking when Blake shifted into my mind. His beautiful brunette hair and his to die for ocean green eyes. Wait, when did I start thinking of him like that? i thought About him the whole way there. He'd be cute as soon as he got contacts and those braces removed. Thank goodness he heard about proactive last year. Because trust me, he was very pretty. I noticed he didn't start really growing out his hair until this year. I wonder what happened.

By now, im already at HAlle's door. I knocked. "Why hello there!" Halle's mom says. "Come on in!"

I stroll in and say hello and goodbye to her. I walked up the stairs to where I knew I would find Halle. I didn't bother knocking on her dooor. Which, really, probably would have been better. Just as I opened her door, her pants flew up and her wet hair was matted to her face. 

"Holy crap, Lily! Do you believe in knocking?!" She demanded. I looked at her and said,

"Well, I would but I just don't care." I said jokingly. She laughs. "Hey, I have very important buisness to take care of tonight and I chose you to help me do it." She looked at me like im crazy. I then looked at her and mouthed the word "Blake Matthews" at her. She realized what this whole meeting was about know. 

She told me to tell her evey feeling I had written on my heart. I told her everything. From the moment I heard his name in homerrom, to the things I had thought on the way over here. She looked at me with a slight devilish look in her eyes. 

"I think," she started but wasn't sure if she should finish. "You love him!" She exclaimed as she hide behind her pillow. I took  swing and barley hit the pillow. I didn't wan to believe it, but in some part of me, maybe deep, deep, down, I knew it was true. 

We continued the time i was thhere until dinner with just random stuff we hadn't talked about to each other in years. I knew it was only a matter of time when she would try to hook Blake and I, up.
