I WISH I WAS THE NERD: the girl at the back

CHAPTER FORTY~THREE

Prince...

After we got tired on joking around we just sit, relaxed and close our eyes. Xena was leaning on my shoulder I felt his head become a bit heavier, did she fallen asleep?

She shivers, I bet she really feel cold. I still wanna stay with her but she'll get sick here. I was about to carry her but then this guy came out of nowhere and in just a second he is carrying Xena.

"I'll take her from here." Gill said while glaring at me.

"if you'll take her now. Please don't let her go again. We are still friends, so I'm saying this. I'm starting to fall for her. The truth I just wanted us to be friend at first, but it's a different story now. I'm still letting you take her cause she still loves you a lot and you still do like her." He turns his back on me.

"I'm just protecting her."

"By hurting her? We have talked about this before. But Gill don't you think there is another way? It's still not too late to change the way to protect her."

Xena...

Mom wakes me up to have brunch. We have to go home after eating. I can't remember how I return to my room the last thing I remember is I'm with Prince last night. Was it just a dream?

When I got to the hut; where the food is prepared Prince is also there. So it wasn't a dream after all.

He saw me; he waves his hand and smile at me. So that automatically made me smile back at him.

"Here's our xena." Uncle said. "So is it true?"

"True what?" me. I'm confused, are they talking about me when I'm not here?

"Prince and you?" uncle asked while smiling. I'm more confused.

"What?" me.

"He is asking if you and Prince are in relationship." Mom made uncle's question clear to me.

"Of course not" I immediately answer without any second thought. And they all got quiet. Why?

"... You know you don't have to make it a secret, Prince already told us." Mom. Told what? I looked at prince. But he just smiled at me.

"Are you planning to dump him too?" Uncle asked

"Huh?"

"I felt so sorry for him because Tracie already did... even you? I feel so bad for him." Uncle said.

"Uncle... I didn't say that I'm his boyfriend already...I'm still just planning to court her." ME!!!! My eyes widen. What is he saying?

I look at Gill but it seems like he didn't care.

I pulled Prince then gave him a look "what are you saying?" I whispered but he just winked at me, aisshhh!!

" Xena still wasn't aware?" Uncle, Prince nodded. "Oh I'm sorry, did I ruin your move?"

"No not at all. To be honest before I court her I first wanna asked permission from her family if its okey from you all." I know he wasn't really serious but I'm really touched and it makes my heart beat faster.

"You are such a gentleman. It's a pity Tracie miss someone like you." Uncle. Yeah Tracie really should regret dumping this man.

"You still like me? I'll welcome you again." Tracie said.

I move forward and put Prince at my back. "NO WAY! He doesn't like you anymore!" wait... what did I just did?! I feel like an angry girlfriend.

"hahahaha..." uncle and mom laughed "Tracie you shouldn't tease them like that." Uncle said.
