The Deadly Nerd (Completed)

Chapter 18

"Aye you can't just hit on me like that again. You're a retard, Josh. The fact you have a girlfriend and you're hitting on another girl." I yelled at Josh right after class.

Basically what happened was, he 'missed me'. So he found the time when Lucas wasn't around to come and hit on me. And now we're fighting.

"She's just a one night stand." He said in his defence.

"Yeah? By what I see right now that doesn't seem true. She's basically glaring at us talking in this corner here. Gosh. I guess for you to be a real man you need to have balls. Ohh my God...I'm so sorry... I forgot you have none..." I said and people who heard it started laughing. And with what I've said I left his jaws hanging and walked away.

I stood next to my locker which was close to the scene. I could still hear everything. So I heard Josh walking up to the girl. Think her name was Jessica. I don't know.

"Listen here Jessica. You can't expect us to date when we just fucked ok? We are NOT dating Jessica. So hit the hay and leave me alone." He yelled at the girl. What she did while he was yelling was staring at her nails with a bitch face.

"Umm the name is Janna." She corrected him and he just walked away.

Damn it feels good to be a gangsta.

My subconscious was talking again. I shook my head and walked away to my next class.

I came home after school. I checked where my siblings are and luckily they weren't here. So I ended up watching The Vampire Diaries right after I've done my chemistry homework. My younger brother used to say I was a genius.

I helped him a lot during puberty also. He's been bullied a lot, like his twin sister also. It's been the same person bullying them and me. It was Lucas.

I stood up from my very comfortable position on the bed, erasing that though from my mind. Headed to my dead brother's room, I heard a scary noise downstairs. So I assumed it was a murderer.

I quickly went to my room and grabbed a pocket knife my dad gave me when I was 14. He wanted me safe because I didn't have a twin. The footsteps became louder and then there was a loud crash. Wait...
It can't be a murderer so clumsy, yet I didn't bring my guard down.

I went around the corner of the hallway and down the stairs only to see a very familiar face. My guard was down immediately. There I thought it was my life ending now, yet it was only the one and only clumsy Jo breaking in again.

"Ah duck!" She yelled and I kinda flinched a little. I never liked when someone yelled at me.

"You needed my nude lipstick again?" I assumed. She always broke in to steal a piece of my makeup when she went on a date or an important event and all the stores were closed. She gave it back though..slightly ruined.

"No silly. I have to tell you something more important! I have a boyfriend!" She said excitedly. I hugged her and we almost fell. She wasn't very happy in past few months. See, her boyfriend died while he was sleeping. Mainly, some kids set his house on fire and he was a very very tight sleeper. She was in living grief, anger and guilt. She thought she was never gonna get over it and yet here she is in my arms after she just told me she had a new boyfriend.

"I'm so proud of you! Tell me everything!" I said as we headed to the kitchen, made ourselves some coffee and got into the talk.

It was late when Jo thought it was right time to leave. So I asked her to stay here until tomorrow morning. It was a school night, but we could still go to school together.

She slept in my room, on a couch. I know you'll say it's not appropriate for a guest to sleep on the couch, but unlike other common houses, mine had 6 bedrooms..and one was transformed into my personal gym and other 2 were memories of my dead siblings. It was now usual to say that because it's been years.

I don't remember their faces, without a photo that is. Many people say I should get over it, but they were family, and you can't easily get over family.

Jo woke me up in the morning. She said we needed to go to school, so I got up and got ready. We ate waffles for breakfast and drank coffee.

Another day in hell. I though to myself.

We arrived at school and the first thing I did was hug Lucas from behind. I know it's supposed to go the other way around but that sounds kinda sexist. If you saw us like this, you'd think we were young people in love. Though that wasn't the case.

I had no feelings for Lucas however. I don't know if he had some for me. We never talked about our feelings much. That talk made everything awkward.

So he spun me around, then kissed me on the cheek. It was a little unexpected, though I gotta give it to him, he can be charming.

"How was your night? Heard you girls had a sleepover." He said. I slowly nodded my head.
My mind was slowed down today for no apparent reason. I had kind of a numb feeling in my head. But it was probably the aftermath of the movie 'Me before You' . I loved it. It made me feel...no..it made me long for someone to feel that way for me.

I didn't feel love in a long, long time. With Lucas, I felt loved. I felt like there's something to live for. But...I never liked him like that. I know Josh is now my ex, but I still feel something towards him. And maybe just maybe he might come back to me.

I don't believe in love at first sight. There's no such thing as soulmates.
Love is just...it's a trick.
And it just so happens that I've been tricked a lot.
