The Bad Girl's Nerd (Cleaning Up)

Queen of Bad

His soft embrace warmed me inside, his hair was all over the place I didn't understand why I loved him so much. He kissed my lips and whispered, "Nerds can be bad also." But let's start way before anything happened.

"Charisse get your butt in this car before I slap you," my mom called.

"I'll be right there momma," I replied. I grabbed my camo backpack and looked in the mirror. I walked to the car and sat next to my mom, she dropped me off at Greg High and drove off to work. I met my two friends at the door, Erica and Aisha. I walked to my locker with sass, Erica and Aisha had a locker right by me.

"So girl this nigga Darrel came up to me and asked if he wanted to go out I said yeah but he wants someone to go with us to a party," Aisha rolled her eyes in a playful way.

"I'll go my mom got a business trip this weekend I got the house to myself I mean with my big brother and my little sister but ya know," I insisted.

"Great wear something nice the party is tomorrow at 6:30 I'll pick you up," Aisha jumped up and down. We walked to Mr.Collins Chemistry class.

"Alright class we'll be doing our silent reading so flip to page 345 in your chemistry book," Mr.Collins announced. We read the whole class. I kept my book open to page 345 flipping occasionally but I was on my phone looking at text messages from my friends. After Chemistry I walked to Math.

All of my classes had some kind quiz I didn't study for and a big pile of homework to go with it. At lunch, we went to the courtyard and ate. Erica was talking non-stop about how Randy the high school bad boy was taking her to the party.

"Do you actually think some bitch ass nigga is gone take you to a party, so he can get drunk and forget about ya sorry ass," I said.

"Thanks for ruining it Charisse but I'm still going even if your stupid fantasy will happen it's not life and death its hopes and dreams," Erica says.

"Alright well when he breaks your hopes and dreams don't call me, cause you know damn well I'm right," I responded.

"Anybody excited for spring break?"

"Well, not if you're spending it with your big brother and your mom that's gonna drink herself into infinity then no," Aisha stated in a annoyed tone.

"Oh. Well, I bet it'll be fun going to that party tomorrow night," Erica replied tryinf to brighten up the mood.

"It's almost time to go I'm going to eat and head to the fifth period," Aisha glumly replied.

After we ate we parted ways and I walked to fifth period Social Studies. I sat next to one of the biggest nerds in class his name may be Tyrone but his appearance and his smarts are way different than a cute name. We were partnered up with who we sat by and that happened to be Tyrone.

"Well Tyrone let's get started why don't you do half of the page and I'll do the other half," I almost gagged.

"But--" I cut him off.

"No just start," I said in a soothing voice.

He did most of the work while I did the True and False and short answer questions. I turned it in and texted my friends for the rest of the period. I walked to the principal's office waiting to get picked up. My big brother, Derrick in his rusty, old, "antique" car. I walked over to his car and sat on the passenger side.

"Mama just left for her business trip so I'm taking you home today she'll be back early Sunday morning," he explained.

"OK, well I'm having friends over tonight so if you could take Brandy somewhere or take her to grandma's place, and you can stay out the house," I smiled.

"You know mama don't like you having friends over while she's gone."

"Fine then I'll go to Erica's house and we can meet up there."

"Alright as long as your home by 10:00 P.M. you're fine I mean I'll be sleep by 9:00 but you know damn well you should be back by curfew," he sounded annoyed.

I didn't say or do anything, I just looked out the window and stayed silent. He dropped me off at the house and went to pick up Brandy. I walked up to my room and pulled out my homework. I did half of it then went into my mom's room for a dress.

Nothing interesting but formal dresses nothing that would bring the attention to me. I didn't tell Derrick about the party on Saturday cause like any big brother he'd make me wear my mom's wedding dress. I heard Brandy screaming with glee and car doors slamming.

Please tell me Derrick did not bring his ignorant friends. I looked over the banister and there on the couch was Derrick's friends Tyrese, Andrew, and Andre. I walked downstairs and sat on the couch.

"Move baby sis I was here," Derrick said.

"Sorry I didn't see you here so why don't you sit by one of your sorry pathetic losers of friends," I snapped.

"Whoa shawty, don't call this nigga any of that shit why don't you move along before someone gets hurt," Andre said.

"I bet it would be you pussy cat," I said before leaving. I walked into the kitchen and sat at the table where Brandy was eating cookies. I sat there texting Aisha.

Aisha- I'm about to add Erica and Randy to the chat.

Me-Alright

Erica-Aisha and Charisse you coming over or not Randy and Darrel already here hurry up.

Me-Be there in a minute

I turned off my phone and walked upstairs. I grabbed my duffel bag from my closet and packed me pajamas. I walked downstairs and slid out the back door.
