Nerd Crush **edited**

chapter 4

9/5

It's amazing how dumb people at parties can be. Running around, drinking anything from a plastic red cup, and kissing anybody with a mouth. Our favorite boys were the entertainment of the night.

Before I give everything away, let me start at the beginning.

Jacob and Romeo walked over to Ross Swimm's mansion.

"Why couldn't we have just driven, dude?" Jacob panted, while they turned the corner.

Romeo gave him a side eye, "Dude, you are literally the best runner on the team, I think you can survive. Besides, I don't trust you to drive."

"Normally, I'd fight but tonight I'm gonna get trashed." Jacob laughed, practically skipping down the sidewalk. "It's gonna get lit!"

"Keep running like that, I'll be the best runner on the team." Hayden laughed from the passenger side window of a nice BMW.

"Dude is that yours?" Jacob exclaimed running towards the car.

The driver of the car slowed down and stopped next to the side walk.

"Nah, Uber. I'm not walking like you losers." Hayden snickered at his own insult but Jacob was unaffected. He was too busy enjoying the car.

"Can we hope in?" Jacob asked, as excited as a little kid getting candy.

"Sure, you, can." Hayden looked straight to Romeo. "But you should walk, Johns. I saw you running today at practice, and you are almost making becoming team captain too easy, bud. I'm looking out for you, see ya'."

Romeo was surprised by Hayden's bluntness. He looked over to Jacob to see if he'd actually get in the car and leave him. Which he did.

"Figures" Romeo mumbled as Hayden's Uber drove off.

Romeo still had a good 15 minute walk ahead of him, and without Jacob, he'd look like a loser walking all by himself.

...

A good 20 minutes later Romeo arrived to Ross' mansion. People were running around outside, making out, and playing beer pong. As he walked through the gate Jacob ran over to him- halfway to being shitfaced.

"Romeo, Romeo, there art thou!" Jacob laughed, falling into a hug.

Romeo was quick to shove the drunk, sweaty boy off him. "Dude."

"Jacob you've been here how long and you're already drunk?" Isaac asked, disgusted as always.

"You're surprised?" Romeo joked.
Normally, Romeo would have stood up for Jacob, but Rom was holding a grudge for Jacob leaving him. What a girl.

"Manning, I got a bone to pick with you! This party sucks." Dane yelled, walking towards the 3 guys.

"Dude, you gotta come to the back of the house. That's where all the fun is. Come on, come on." Jacob stammered, stumbling around the yard, leading the boys to the back.

The three guys looked at each other, "Eh, why not. Can't get worst." Dane shrugged following him.

Well, you guessed it. It did.

The guys walked to the back and were instantly greeted by a girl holding a tray of drinks. There were a good eight shots, a bright shade of blue.

"Guys. This is the best drink, ever!" Jacob slurred, "Me and Hayden had like three."

"Um, I don't know..." Isaac said, looking at how trashed Jacob was.

"If these pussies can handle these, I can. Bottoms up." Dane scoffed downing the shot. "Wow, that's strong. I like it." he laughed, grabbing another.

Romeo looked at Isaac and shrugged. "Might as well right?"

They both grabbed a glass and threw em' back.

Through the night, the guys probably drank a good five each. Bad for them, but man is it good for us. Their mistakes are so entertaining!
...
So let's travel to the next morning, shall we.

Romeo woke up to his alarm in his room, with a pounding headache. He was in the same clothes he wore to the party. Poor guy had no memory of last night.

Good thing I do.

"How did I get home?" Romeo whispered to himself, sitting up on his bed, "What even happened."

His thoughts were interrupted by his phone's constant buzzing. He slowly trudged and checked his phone.

It read "28 New Messages" and "7 Missed Calls". All the calls were from Jacob, Dane, Issac, and Hayden. Starting to worry, Romeo called Jacob to see what was going on.

Jacob picked up on the first ring.

"Jake, what's-"

"Did you read Ross' text dude? We are so dead, we are so dead!" Jacob freaked, his breath uneven.

"Shit, no. What's wrong" Romeo asked, his heart falling to his stomach.

"I can't even say it, read the message." Jacob replied, completely panicked.

Romeo scrolled through his messages until he saw an unknown number.

"Hey Romeo, this is Ross Swimmings, from the party last night. You entered yourself in the "De popularibus ludos" last night, which is an annual Duwamps game filled with juicy bets to test your popularity. We collected 10 of the most popular boys and 10 of the most popular girls to enter. You were drunk, so you couldn't argue;)

Well, this year's bet is Nerd Crush, which is when you must lead on the girl you are assigned (who is either a nerd, a loser, or an outcast) then at the end, you break her heart and leave, untouched. Now when I say lead on, I mean make her fall in love with you, completely, and you can't feel a thing. This is to test if you could really get any girl you try to get.

How do you fail, you ask? Well it's simple. See, we will be watching you, for the first few weeks you need to connect with your nerd, if you fail to do so, you are out.
The challenges increase as the weeks go on, and so do the punishments if you fail a challenge. If you lose during the first week, nothing too bad, you just get kicked off any sports team. If you lose in second place, you get shunned by the entire student body. Understand? Good.

Well, here is the exciting part! We pulled your nerd's name out of a hat and here it is! Your nerd is Hazel Adami.

Call if you need anything!

-Ross"

Romeo stared at his phone in complete shock."We are fucking screwed".

Aww, Romeo is so smart! He could totally win this competition, if he wasn't such a puss. Ahh, harsh who cares. You gotta be tough for this competition! He should learn a thing or from Dane. Well, Rom make things interesting for us, or maybe just me. I'll keep you guys posted.

bye babes
