The Bad Ass: Nerd

3: His Garage Is Bigger Then My House

When I woke up the next morning I was drained and I definitely didnt want to go to school. 'You weren't always like this' said the snotty voice in my head. Even through it was completely right. I wasn't like this, I was so carefree, badass. God I dont even think I can even consider myself that anymore. I wouldn't have to keep up this act if it weren't for him. My God damn father. This act is so tiring. But I can't do what I did last time. My wrist start to hurt just thinking about it. I looked down at them, the scars forever there.

*Knock knock* "Come in." "Everything ok." Marcus voice was full of concern as he entered my room. "Yeah, I guess." I could never lie to Marcus. It wasn't because I didnt want to he just saw right through it. "You know you dont have to go today. You can stay home." I was considering the offer. But then remembered that I was suppose to leave school with Lucas so I could start tutoring him.

"I can't. I have to go to school today. Lucas and I made plans to go to his place after school, so I could help him with his math." Marcus nodded his head then engulfed me in a big bear hug, but I didnt mind I needed one right now.

When he let go I pushed him out of my room so I could get ready for school.

The day went slow and boring of course, God disided to be mean today and do that. So here I was waiting at my locker waiting for Lucas to come and get me, so we could head to his place.

I slipped in my ear-buds and waited for Lucas.

I wanted you to know, that I love the way you laugh

I wanna hold you up and steal your pain away.

I keep your photograph; and I know it serves me well.

I wanna hold you high and steal your pain.

because im broken when im lonesome and I dont feel right

when your gone away.

I was listening to Broken by Seether, when I felt a tap on my shoulder. Cought by suprise I must have jump a foot in the air. I ripped out my ear-buds, and looked to my left where my shoulder had been tapped. When I looked down I saw Lucas, litterly laying on the floor laughing his ass off.

If we weren't at school and I didn't acted like a geek then I would of kicked him a few times. But we we're at school and I do act like geek. So... I'll just save it for later.

When Lucas finally finished his laughing fit he stood up. "Ready?" His amusement totally notice able. I glared at him but never the less nodded my head 'yes'.

As we turned around, Lucas put his arm around my shoulder. What the fuh? My back tensed for a second. But relaxed I moment later. This feeling was all too familiar, but there was another feeling that I couldn't quite put my finger on it. Well whatever, it is it was welcoming. I also noticed the feel of electricity from his touch. But ignored it.

When we arrived at his beauty of a car. I hopped in the passenger seat in awe, damn I still got mesmerized by this car, and I dont think I'll EVER get use to. Not that I bothered me.

A few lefts and a couple rights later, we arrived at Lucas's house. It was small but bigger then Marcus's and I's house. I didn't know what to say so I just said the first thing that came to mind, "Nice house." 'nice house? Really Chris thats the best you could think of?' Shut up stupid voice in my head, I thought to my self. Oh my God im going crazy aren't I.
