The Bad Girl's Nerd (Cleaning Up)

Nerd 101

I woke up in my bed with my covers pulled over me. My little sister stood in front of me smiling. "Time for school," she said.

"How long have you been standing there," I asked.

"Since... about 5:09 to be exact."

"Well then get out," I grumbled. She skipped out of my room and I laid in my bed for a while. Soon I got up to take a shower and get dressed. I put on a black shirt that said "BOSS" in gold letters on and black jeggings. I stood there for a while and grabbed my backpack. Derrick drove me to school. Aisha and Erica stood at their lockers talking about the party.

"Goodness gracious Charisse you shoulda stayed at the party it was off the chain," Erica laughed.

"Well if it wasn't for Tyrone I would've he is so protective," I scoffed.

" It looks like he likes you," Erica laughed.

"That nerd let's keep that on the never gonna happen list."

"Charisse that nigga is a nerd but that list you got like sixteen men on there."

"Erica you don't even have a man so why don't you stop giving me advice."

"Hey, Randy is somewhat close to being my man you know what I'm saying," Erica laughed.

" Erica you know he just wants you cause you are gullible," Aisha pointed out.

"I am not gullible you da one that's pregnant," she snapped.

"Erica shut the h*** up," Aisha slammed her locker and walked away.

"What's with A?"

"Hormones I'm guessing," I said as we walked to class. I talked to Erica for a while. Soon it was time for me to go to my first period. The day went by fast until lunch. I sat with Aisha and Erica. Aisha looked at her phone the whole time and Erica gazed at Randy who was three tables away. I sat there eating my lunch as quiet as can be. Tyrone came up behind me and sat in between all three of us.

" Whoa Ty gets ya skinny butt up and leave," Aisha looked at him.

"Why?" he asked.

"Cause you were never invited to our table so move ya a** before I get violent," she huffed.

"Slow ya roll shawty I'm moving," he walked away.

Aisha laughed and put her phone in her purse. She started talking and glancing over at Erica. In my fifth period Tyrone kept on glancing at me I didn't know if I should be scared or something it just creeped me out. At the end of the day, I walked with Aisha and Erica to Randy's house. Darell and Tyrone met us up there. I walked inside Tyrone was talking to the guys like he was one of them.

"Hey people what y'all talking bout," I said.

"None of ya business," Darell hissed.

I punched his shoulder as I walked by. He looked at me and kept on talking. Aisha sat on his lap and Erica laid on Randy's lap. I sat next to Tyrone on the floor looking through my phone. We all talked about something in school or what went down somewhere. I even talked directly to Tyrone.

"Hey how about dinner I'll pay," Randy insisted.

"Yes please," Darell laughed. We drove down to some nice restaurant. Since the table was "full" they made Tyrone and I sit alone together.

"Hey Charisse how was your day," he asked.

"Great and yours," I asked."Nice. Tyrone, you wanna ditch these guys and go to the movies," I whispered.

"Sure I'd love too," he smiled. We grabbed our things and we walked to the movies across the street.

We watched a romantic movie. Soon in the middle of the movie we were gazing into each other's eyes. We walked to a small café down the street and drank lattes. "It is so nice hanging out with you," I laughed.

"Oh hey I know we met a year ago and all but I was wondering if you wanted to take it up a step," he smiled.

"You mean...you know how bad my reputation would be if anyone found out," I hissed.

"Why are you always worried about that junk no one will know it'll be our little secret," he touched my hand.

"Alright, I agree you'll be the bad girl's nerd," I smiled.

"Yeah sure our first date tomorrow at 7:00 pm I'll pick you up," he replied

"You mean the second date?"

"Yeah let's get back to the group," he walked away.

I walked with him to the restaurant. The group was just leaving when we came. Randy dropped me off at home and drove off. I walked to my room and laid in the bed. I fell asleep easily that night.
