THE NERD

CHAPTER 6!!!

Hey good people. Thanks for reading all the way to this chapter. Hope you like this one.

Nicholas' P.O.V

I was just back from Lynn's house. Today's tuition was a bit shorter cause of late she was understanding things so it was smooth sailing.

I entered the quiet house and took off my combat boots. It had been cold for the past few days which resulted in me wearing a black trench coat and a pair of dark blue jeans. I ran my hands through my brunette hair with blonde highlights. I had many thoughts running through my head. I couldn't believe that the walls I have been building for a long while will one day come to be crushed by one person and a girl for that matter.

I wasn't ready for any of this. I just wanted to be friends with her and now am crushing on her? I was now on my feet while pacing back and forth. One way or another I needed to get rid of these feelings. It wasn't healthy at all.

I went upstairs to get a shower before I could do my assignments. Assignments were an easy task for me but when it came to History things were a little sticky. Being a nerd doesn't mean I know everything. In my definition a nerd is just someone who understands most topics taught and in some cases someone who doesn't socialize much. Lets just say a nerd can be an introvert too.

Having a cold shower always calmed my nerves but with the current weather, I was safer with a hot one. After burning myself with volcano hot water(exaggerating) I changed to a pair of black sweat pants and a simple T-shirt. I wasn't ready to start my homework just yet so I decided to make a snack for myself.

I didn't really live alone but I didn't have company everyday either. I lost my dad when I was eleven and I never saw my mum ever since. It was my fault my mum left since I didn't want to listen to reason. I loved my dad so much and getting the news that he was no more only made my slightly bad character worse. I was a bully in school and I only became worse. I released my anger and hurt on anything. Even people. My mum couldn't do anything about my character and so she transferred me to a boarding school.

Life in boarding wasn't easy. I had to do most things on my own. I was bullied by everyone. One time they broke my glasses and I couldn't see clearly. When I reported the case to the principal of course they were suspended but when they came back, I was in for it."You will never survive this life if you remain the pussy you are." My roommate told me one day when he saw me crying. Since then my perspective of life changed. I was better of a bully than Mr. two goody shoes.

I decided to cause trouble so that I could at least go home but I wasn't lucky. I was sent to juvenile because I almost started a fire that would have killed everybody including me. My mum came and bailed me out and returned me back to this school. The following day when I came home from school, mum was gone and my elder sister Annie was left in charge.

I shuddered from the thought. I missed mum but I knew she did this with a good purpose. She still supports me even though we do not meet face to face. She calls me and also sends me my pocket money and stuff. She's also the one who pays rent and my school fees. I just wish she would be here in person.

Hardly had I finished cleaning up the mess when I had the door bell ring. I quickly went to open the door even though I didn't know who it could be.

"Hi baby brother." My sister Annie greeted me with enthusiasm as I rolled my eyes. She was twelve years older than me or to make it simple she was thirty. She worked as a management consultant in an international firm. She was the best sister and role model anyone could ask for.

"Am not a baby anymore." I looked at her unreadable hazel eyes. She had gained some weight but still looked great. Her body was curvy but not like an hourglass. Every time I looked at her I remembered my mum since she had acquired most of my mum's features like her brown skin color and black hair.

"Look at what I got you baby bro." She said while handing me a bag. She entered the house and closed the door as I opened the grey bag. I always hated it when she had to travel but every time she came back she always had something for me. I was sure my eyes were sparkling in excitement as my eyes landed on a blue laptop. I always wanted one but my savings weren't enough.

"Thank you sis." I shouted since she had gone upstairs.

Lynn's P.O.V

I sighed heavily as I sat on the cream sofa. I had just finished doing my homework and since I wasn't sleepy, I decided to watch TV. I wasn't a TV person really but I didn't have any thing else to do. Mum said she would be home at ten which was two hours from now. I promised her I would wait till she came though she tried to convince me to go to bed early.

My phone suddenly began to ring and I almost fell down from the couch I was now laying on. I picked it up without looking at the caller ID. I only had three numbers in my phone. That was mum, dad and Nicholas. I was yet to get Lincoln's number.

"Hello princess."

"Hey dad." I responded exuberantly realizing it was my dad.

"Am coming tomorrow. What do you want from Australia?" He asked. My dad was a pilot and this time he had been away for a week.

"A stuffed kangaroo and a designer dress."

"Do you still play with stuffed animals sweetie?" I frowned at the thought. Of course not. I had a friend who was an orphan and she really loved stuffed animals. If I wasn't in the clinic with my mum during the weekend, I was with her.

"Are you trying to say I am too old for them?" I joked.

"No. Anyway tell mum I said hi. She didn't pick up her phone when I called her. Bye sweetie see you tomorrow after school."

"Okay bye and goodnight or is it morning?" And before he answered my question I hanged up.
