The Delinquent Nerd

Chapter 7

Okay so I assume that just because I suggested this match I'm suppose to win it right? Yeah I guess that's what I gotta do since I made a wager that I'll give Alexis to him which is rather hilarious   . I wonder what she'll do to me if I lose this match. I wanna know now .

"Hey Lexi, what will you do if I lose this game?" I asked chuckling.

"Gee Erik I don't know. Maybe just maybe you might end up not living anymore y'know?"

I swear the moment I heard those words all color was drained from my face and I'm pretty sure that I look like an idiot right now. Man I swear it's like she enjoys making me look like an idiot especially in school or when we go out somewhere, but it's like she really enjoys it when  there are girls around and it's rather irritating.

"Hey Johnson in case you forgot you are about to lose and I suggest that you pay close attention cause you go lose the only two things in the world that matters to you." Fuckface said as he attempted to look cool , although I assume he does since I'm hearing fangirls screaming  ... Wait here's fangirls!! I turned around and saw most of the school in the gym. When the hell that happen and why is majority of the school here!? My question was answered by Jeff almost as he heard everything that I just said in my head.

"Oh yeah, I forgot to mention,  I told the whole school about this game and apparently they all want to see you lose Johnson. There is also a bet going around and I bet on you Erik so yea better win this or I'll be broke." Jeff grinned at me.

"I swear to God that I am so going to kill you Jeff." I answered in a rather irritated voice.

"Well if you do that you'll be a player short for your team and I doubt anyone else is going to join the team of the most hated people in our school." He answered with an amused smile on his face.

I swear Ima fuckin' kill him but for now i gotta keep him alive so that we win against Fisher's team. Wait I gotta play a game after this still !!! Why the fuck did I decide to play one-on-one. And with Fisher of all people. And I gotta win this or I get transferred or get kicked off the team , I don't know , I really didn't pay any attention to him . Also I'm going to lose Lexi if I don't win. I swear sometimes I'm more stupid than smart which is rather hilarious but I can't think now, now I need to win Fisher.

“Hey Johnson how ‘bout you stop daydreaming and we get started with our game. What you say?”

“Yeah sure.” I smirked. “I’m so going to embarrass you the living hell out of you Fisher and then I’ll be the last one laughing.” I chuckled.

"Well we'll see about that Johnson." Fisher laughed as he tossed me the ball. "You starting 'nerd' and the first one to get five points win."

Yeah yeah , let's just get this over and done with. I thought.

As the game between me and Jack began , I started with a little dribbling but I might've underestimated him cause he literally stole the ball from me and he stot a hoop. Ha he as a point... The fuck did that happen!!!!? Okay okay I need to get focused, breath in, I took a deep breath in, breath out, I exhaled. I attempted to dribble once more but the exact same thing happened! Could it be because I was too cocky and now I'm getting what I deserve? Hell naw! This son of gun just got lucky with both attempts. Oh yeah I forgot that I never played basketball while i was 'injuried' since Alexis puts it that way so I might be sloppy. As I was about to get the game underway again, a 'certain person' who I happen to playing for decided to distract me which resulted in me bouncing the ball on my foot and then Fisher got the ball and he scored yet again.

"THE HELL IS THAT ERIK!!!!" I heard my very loud sister . I glanced over to her and also took note that everyone who was close to her are holding their ears closed as if their lives depends on it and it probably does. I chuckled at the thought of everyone being deaf instantly with just two or three of her shouts like that.

"DON'T YOU DARE LAUGHER AT ME ERIK! IF YOU LOSE THAN I'LL BE FORCED TO GO WITH HIM AND I DO NOT I REPEAT DO NOT WANT THAT TO HAPPEN!!" She screeched. By now I'm on the floor with tears in my eyes laughing my damn ass off!

I regained my composer and answered her . "I'm sorry Lex-" I started but burst out in laughter after seeing that horrible expression on her face. "Lexi don't worry- hahaha I won't le- hahahahahaha I won't let him beat me hahahahahahaha." I stopped my laughing instantly the moment I saw the demonic aura that is surrounding her. "I'm sorry Lexi , I won't do that again." I bowed out of fear.

I started to hear mumbles going around in the crowd and thats when it hit me. The students of the school has no idea about the fact that me and Alexis are related. Well I guess now is a good time to clear the air about mine and Alexis relationship. I glanced at Alexis and she gave me a thumbs up. Here goes nothing "Listen up maggots!" I shouted gaining everyones attention. "If anyone touch my sister, who is Alexis Johnson, you will have to deal with me, her OLDER TWIN BROTHER. Also while I'm busy addressing you all Ima say this once and once only." I took a deep breath in. "I AIN'T A DAMN NERD!" Looking at everyones stunned faces was hilarious , but I can't enjoy it for long cause the bitch is getting impatient.

"A'ight Fisher , lets see if you can win me." I said going back into position.

"Last time I checked I was leading you by three points." He smirked.

"Yeah but that was then and this is now." Gotta get my game on.

Rebecca P.O.V

It seems that Erik has finally put on his game face. I swear it always takes him so long to do that and he always does it when he says sound cool. He really hasn't changed at all, he's still the same guy who I fell in love with three years ago.

"Uhm Rebecca right ?" I turned my head to see their manager talking to me, funny I thought she glared at me earlier , must have been my imagination.

"Yeah I'm Rebecca and your their manager right?"

"Y-yes I am. I'm Emilia Rose, manager of 'The Dragon's Den'." She glared at my chest. For some reason I'm getting the feeling this girl might not like me and we just met ! And why the hell is she glaring at my boobs like that.

"Uhm Emilia, why are you staring at my chest with so much intensity?" The look of panic that formed on her face was so hilarious that I almost forgot on the game going on beneath us.

"Oh my gosh! Like how did that nerd get even with our most talented basketball player." Some snotty rich girl complained. Wait Erik scored thrice while I was chatting to Emilia !? Like what the hell !? Well on second thought I'm rather surprised that the team captain even scored against Erik much less thrice. Why would Erik do something like that?

"Hey Erik!" I shouted at him. I need to know why he hasn't won this match yet.

"Rebecca?" He looked around for me and found me when I raised my hand. "What's up?" He asked while making The Captain look like a moron.

I chuckled at what was happening. "Why haven't you won this already."

"Cause then it would be boring." He replied with that heartstopping grin of his. Hey don't judge me! I can't help it that I'm still in love with that dumb basketball freak after three years!

"Just win him already."

"Yeah yeah I will."

Erik P.O.V

Nice I got my encouragement from Rebecca Ima just do what she said.

I dribbled until the 3 point line and asked Fisher before shooting the hoop. "Hey Captain do you know who I am?" I asked him as I watched the ball spin in the air through the hoop.

He got the ball back and said. "Who cares who you are, you'll be forgotten in a flash. He smirked as he passed me. I let a smile creep up to my face as I knocked the ball out of his hand and chased after it. Once I had it I answered the question I had asked him with another question. "Have you ever heard of 'Lil Fly' ? I asked as I was bouncing the ball around. "Yeah, ain't that the middle school kid what just stopped playing ?" I couldn't stop myself from looking surprised and I'm not sure whether it was because he knew of Lil Fly or that he answered me.

"No he never stopped playing, he was waiting for an epic return and now he's got it." I smirked at him and dribbled to past hoop, and threw the ball from behind the hoop and moment I heard Alexis shouting "STOP BEING A DAMN SHOWOFF ERIK!" I knew that I had won the match and also shocked the entire school at the same time. I'M SO FUCKIN' AWESOME.
