Toby

I sat there, with her in my arms and to be honest I didn't want her to move from there. I felt the need for her to stay there. She made me feel all warm and I get tingles and goosebumps as her breath hits my chest.

You sound like a girl.

Ugh! What's wrong with me. I need to get laid.

You prick!

You're the one that told me I sound like a girl! Do girls think that?

No! But still you're a prick. Just admit that you're starting to have feelings for the school's nerd.

What! No! Shut up!

Nope.

Yes!

Nope.

Ugh! I hate my mind.

The smalls sob that came out of her mouth brought me back to reality and I looked down and saw the top of her head.

I just can't believe she told me this. Who would have thought that the schools little nerd was broken inside. She was usually in John's shadow and people didn't notice her as much.

She started calming down and I just held her in my hands.

"I-I'm sorry. I must look like a psycho right now" she chuckled. I showed her a small smile.

I looked at my watch and saw that it was still early.

"Hey, we're done with the homework. Do you want to go somewhere and have fun? I know you don't know what that means so i'll show you" I teased and smirked.

I don't want her feeling like she wants to cry again. Maybe going out would take her mind off of this.

"Are you saying I'm boring?" she asked.

I tapped my chin pretending to think"no......yes" I said.

"Well, then let's go have your type of 'fun' but I have to be home early. If not I'm dead, literally." she whisper the last word but I could still hear her.

What kind of parent abuses their kids?

I pretended not to hear that and got up. I packed everything and hung my backpack on my back and waited for her to clean up her work.

"I'm going to put this upstairs. Be right back." She said and went upstairs.

I took the time to look at her living room. It didn't look or feel like a home. I guess it's much worse for her. The walls were white and were already tearing apart. The floors creaked when you walked on them.

Soon she came back with her wallet, keys, and phone.

"Leave your wallet I'm going to be paying everything" I tell her.

She looked at me and shook her head and went to the kitchen. She came back with more money and put it in her wallet. She has a lot. She put her wallet in the back of her pocket and walked to the door.

"Let's go" she said opening the door and telling me to go out first so she can lock the door behind her.

I might sound like a girl but she does not dress like a nerd. She's wearing ripped jeans and a black shirt with 'The Walking Dead' printed on it. Her white vans look to be new. She does not look anything like a nerd.

We walk over to my car and got in. I turn my radio on and 'Counting Stars' by OneRepublic comes on. From the corner of my eyes I see Veronica grin. I'm guessing she must like this song so I leave it on. I also like this song so don't go thinking something else.
