The Nerd

Obese Brother

The doctor was very painful, they said I had some fractures but, most of my fingers where broken except for my thumb.

I had a black cast that wrapped around each of my fingers and went all the way up to the middle of my forearm, it has to stay on for 6 weeks till my fingers heal, I was prescribed some pain pills to relieve the great deal of pain I'm in an then I was sent off with a huge bill that I have to figure out how to pay and a lie of a story, I told them that my 'obese little brother' ran over my hand with his little motor car when I was laying on the floor and he decided to ride it in the house. Of course it wasn't true but I couldn't tell him it was cause I'm bullied every second every day.

I turned down the radio in my car as I pulled into the drive through of CVS an put in my prescription for my pills.

With a quick thank you and have a good day from the lady I pulled out of the CVS drive through an parked in the parking lot.

I pulled out my phone dialing my Gammys number, it rings a couple of times before she picks up,

"Hey Darling," She says in her sweet tone.

I smile at her through the phone, "Hey Gams I just called to say that I'm gonna grab something to eat on the way home I have some errands to run I won't be home till late," I say, picking at the cover on my steering wheel.

"Oh," I hear her say with slight disappointment but, she quickly covers it up with her usual cheerful self, "ok well be careful then. Is everything alright?"

"Yea, yea, just have some stuff I need to get done."

"Ok well be careful sweetheart, love you."

"Love you to Gams." I end the call throwing my phone back into my book bag an heading towards the eye doctor an the car wash.

Thankfully I had full coverage on my glasses so I got another pair for free an the paint on my car was washable so it came off in the car wash, I earned some pretty weird stares from the employees but, I just ignored them by turning up the radio an closing my eyes, as my car drifted through the car wash.

I left the car wash with a little smile on my face that the paint was off even though their was a little dint that they managed to leave on the passenger door.

I drove about 35 minutes away from the car wash to a little cafe that barely any of the kids from school went to. I parked in a parking space got out, an went into the cafe.

The sweet smell of deserts, coffee, and food emerged into my nose as I sighed in delight.

I picked a small table in the corner of the cafe. I pulled out the chair as it squeaked across the floor earning a couple of glances from people around me.

My cheeks turned a light shade of pink in embarrasemt, I quickly sit down an shield my face with my long brown curly hair.

"Hi, Welcome To Sunville Cafe How May I Help You?"

I looked up at the waiter holding a notepad in their hand, waiting for them to look back down at me.

She finally looks back at me an her smile widens, "Hey Sammy, how are you?"

I smile back at her, "Hey Tessa, I'm okay how about you?" Tessa was the cafe managers daughter, I've been close with the people who run the cafe, since I've been coming here almost every day after school since I was 13, they're really nice people and they're the only ones that don't bully me.

"I'm great, what happened to your hand?" She ask, with confusion.

I look down at my cast and back at her, "Oh you know the usual."

"Oh" she says, with a sad face as she fiddles with the pen in her hand.

I look down at the table and let out a quiet "Yea,"

Their was a few seconds of awkward silence before I finally spoke up,

"Um so, I'll have the hot tea, with sugar, honey, an milk, a blueberry scone with a small coffee cake on the side please." I said, folding up my menu and handing it to her.

She quickly wrote down my order and grabbed my menu, "Alright I'll be right out with your order," she said with a big smile.

"Thanks," I said as she walked away.

After a few minutes of waiting Tessa brought my food out to me with a smile and then said her goodbyes as she got back to work.

I slowly sip on my hot tea and munch on my scone and coffee cake till it was all gone.

I grabbed my stuff leaving a twenty dollar tip on the table an heading back to my car for my drive home.

I finally arrive home parking my car in the driveway and walking the steps to the house, unlocking the front door with the key to the house on my key ring.

I slowly open the door to the dark house and quietly shut it tip toeing up the stairs to my room, it was 8:30 and I didn't want to wake up my grandparents.

I throw my book bag on my chair and my keys an phone on my nightstand, heading to the bathroom an jumping into a hot shower not forgetting to cover my cast with a Walmart sack first of course.

After I get out, I put on some black spandex and a to-big Beatles shirt an some knee high black socks, letting my brown curly hair air dry into big frizzy curls.

'Ding' my phones goes off on my nightstand. I walk over to it picking it up an reading the message,

'Unknown'- "Hey Sanny, it's Clayton here."

'Me'- "Again it's Samantha."

'Unknown'- "Yea, yea whatever. Tomorrow after school meet me at my car we have a meeting to go to with the gang."

'Me'- "And what if I have plans?"

'Unknown'- "You don't have a choice. Meet me at my car tomorrow after school. Don't be late."

I sigh in defeat,

'Me'- "Ugh whatever."

'Unknown'- "Alright night buttercup."

I roll my eyes at his nickname for me an click off my phone, setting it back on my nightstand.

I pull the covers back on my cozy bed an lay down turning out my lamp on my nightstand and drifting off into a deep sleep.
