The Bad Ass: Nerd

10: Only You

***Lucas' POV***

Wrong.

I was really wrong. By the next morning, everyone at school knew. About me and Christiana. Like I said before I didnt necessarily care. But Christiana did, I think it has to do with her 'cover', or her dad. And I wasnt going to make her do something she wasnt ready for.

But...I guess Marcus had a completely different idea.

It was lunch time now, having multiple people come up to me asking if Chris and I are a 'thing'. But not knowing what to say I just ignored them and walked away. I was pretty upset to say the least, I could only imagine how Chris feels. One way to find out I guess.

******Christianas POV******

I was furious.

After Lucas left last night I had a very specific conversation with Marcus about not to tell anyone. But what does he do? He tells everyone. He cant keep his mouth shut can he!? I decided on my way to lunch I was going to give him a peice of my mind.

I walked into the lunchroom scanning it for Lucas and/or Marcus. I packed a lunch, but I didnt feel like eating it. Not finding any of them I went to go sit at an empty table. Rehearsing what I'll be saying to Marcus in my head.

My thoughts were broke when I heard someone clear their voice. I looked up to see a girl, with way to much make up on for her own good (or anyones at that.) I recognised her from the "popular" group. Like the annoying cliche popular group, with dumb jocks, and even dumber blondes. Oh this should be fun. Note the sarcasm.

"May I help you?" I asked sounding nervous. "No. But I just need to tell you something," the girl said. I was just surprised that the sentence sounded anywhere close to intelliget. She also had a southern accent. 

"Then what is it?" I asked confused. "Well first off im Grace. And I heard that you and the new kid Lucas Powers were, you know a thing," she said. I nodded, hinting her to go on. I didnt even realize she had a group of friends next to her.

"So I needed to tell you, that this thing going on. Between you and Luc, an't gonna last," she said in a careful tone. More mocking actully. "What do you mean?" I asked. She folded her hands in front of her and looked at me. "Well Lucas, he's good lookin' and well your...Not. He wears fashionable clothes..And you dont. He fits in, you just dont. He's pretty darn popular, and you just a no body geek. Just think about it darlin' it doesnt make since now does it. You just dont deserve him," she turned to her friends, "dont you think me and Lucas would be such a good couple, I mean better then him with -her," she cringed at saying 'her'.  Meaning me of course. This whole time I was just looking hard at a crack in the old wood of the table.

I never thought of it that way. She right though. He deserves better. He deserves someone who wont bring him into a shitty life like mine, she didnt say that but it was true.  But the other stuff she said was true. High school was hard enough, but dating a known 'geek' would just make it harder for him, and I wasnt going to do that to him.

"Thank you for informing me of that," I said my voice small. "If you'll excuse me," I said, my voice barley a whisper. Has I was turning a saw her smirk, she knew she got to me, and she was enjoying every minute of it. I've never met this girl and look at me, I scolded myself.

I started to walk away, looking at my feet, to embarrassed to look up. I ran into someone, but I quickly moved out of the way. I shot a fast sorry over my shoulder. But that voice, stopped me. "Is something wrong, Peppermint?" He asked. "Yeah, I uh- just have to go uh- do something," I said studdering like crazy. I quickly  started walking away. Ignoring Lucas' pleas for me to stop.

I could hear him behind me but I just kept moving, faster and faster till I found myself running. I got to the parking lot and I wanted to keep going, but my lungs and limbs didnt agree so I stopped, just for five seconds. I guess a didnt realise how close he was to me the whole time because he stepped right in front of me before I could take off again.

"Damn Chris you run fast," he exclaimed breathlessly. I tried to move around him but he just stepped right in front of me. "Whats wrong?" He asked sounding genuinely concerned. "Just leave me alone!" I shrieked. He gave me a confused look. "What?" He asked quietly. "Just dont come near me!" I threatened. "Why?" He still looked confused. He's making this harder then it should be, those eyes god damn't those eyes! "Im not good for you," I exclaimed. "I'm just going to ruin you! Like everyone else! To everyone here im a geek! High school is hard enough for everyone, I dont want it to be even more so for you. I dont deserve you either! Your to good and warm hearted. Someone like Grace makes more since then me, for you . I dont even get me started about the life I'll drag you into if this continues!" I practically yelled, "I cant do that to you Lucas. You mean to much to me for me to drag you into a life of hell," I said, my voice barley above a whisper.

He just looked at me, soaking it all in. Then his look changed from confusion, to determination. Looking me dead in the eye he started, "Chris the moment I saw you I knew I was going to get into something, but I also knew I would not regret one moment of it. I dont care about the geek cover I dont care the bad ass truth. I just care about you, and you only. Not your rep. And dont tell me you dont deserve me, cause to me its the opposite," he stepped closer till he was like two feet infront of me. "You are warm-hearted, from what you've told me. With your brother, giving him the majority of your winnings so he can live with that monster. And I know how much it kills you to keep him there. Theres good in you too. And girl please Grace is not the girl for me!," he tried a shot at humor. But it wasnt working I wasnt convinced, and he knows it.

He stepped closer to me till our feet touched. He pressed his forehead against mine. He then whispered, "I dont care how hard it gets, I dont care what happens in the future. All I care about is now, and that I'm with you," he smiled softly. He took my hand in his. "All I want is this. Not Grace. You. Not what society definds as perfect. But what I defind as pefect. All your pefect imperfections," he trailed. I havent realised I was crying until he lifted his hand that wasnt holding mine to wipe it away. "No one has ever said anything like that to me before," I told him. His small smile havent dropped from his face.

"Only you, thats all I need. Only you..."

Then he kissed me.
