Chapter 5

A Text From Miss Popular

Jace POV

I feel a buzz in my pocket and reckon it's my phone. I take it out and read the text someone has sent me.

Sorry again! U want to grab a late lunch or something?

Sender: Angie Gilbert

Wait,what? Angie, the girl I bumped into today wants to eat lunch with me? That is just weird. I quickly reply:

Sure. But only if you pay.

Sender: Jace Sanders

She must probably think I am a jerk. But then again she was the one that bumped into me and asked me for lunch. I think about the last time I went out to had proper food. That was a very long time ago. After my dad left us six years ago we didn't have any financial support. My mom didn't get an education because she wanted to concentrate on us and be there for us. She never thought he would leave us, but he did. Now my mom goes to evening classes and has three jobs to give us everything we need. When my mom comes home. She doesn't talk, she just sleeps. That means I have to take care of my siblings. Two sisters and one brother. Me being the oldest one. I have a huge responsibility. My dad was a great guy. But when he left to go and live with his stupid girlfriend, he changed. He always wanted the best for us. But she changed his mind. She influenced him. A lot. First he started with not giving us any money. Then he didn't want to see us any more. Now we have barely any money and we basically live on fast food and microwave food. We never get new clothes because we can't afford it. It really annoys me. Especially because my dad shits money and doesn't give us anything. I trusted my dad. We were like best friends. I guess that's why I don't trust people that easily. The divorce kind of scarred me. Now I have trust issues, the responsibility for three kids and am the most unpopular guy in school. Thanks, dad!

At least my dad showed me one thing. He showed me what happened if you didn't get an education. If I look at my mom and think about what would have happened if she had gone to university or done something with her life. Now she has four kids, three jobs and a lot of debt. That's when I saw what could happen to me. I opened books and started to learn. I am one of the smartest people in school. But nobody cares about how smart you are, only about the popularity. At least I have loyal friends that would never turn their backs on me.

Where should we go? Sender: Jace Sanders

I hope it is somewhere expensive. I'm not going to pay so I don't care. Ever since my dad left we have to save every dollar we can. That is the main reason I never go out. But now that Angie pays that is not going to be a problem. The ratio is 1 lunch outside to six years of fast food. I wonder how I manage to keep my shape. I don't workout because I don't have time. I think I look okay for a normal guy. My glasses make my appearance a little worse. But we don't have the money to buy contacts, so I guess I will have to live with that. I am not perfect and I know that but I would rather be myself than this fake perfect eight-pack guy.

Talking about fake. Look at Angie. Or at all the other girls in our school. They want us to think that they roll out of bed and look perfect. Just like most guys expect them to. I don't. Sometimes I feel like the only normal person in our school. At least the only not fake one. Angie is just popular because she came to our school a few years ago. If she weren't there, she would probably be just this average girl. Somebody like me. Sometimes I ask myself why they act so fake if 'normal' people like me see it. Her smile, her way of laughing all of it is fake. I bet she doesn't even like the people she calls her 'friends'. Especially that Vanessa girl. She slept with that ass hole and kept crying in the lesson. How STUPID can she be. The whole school knows that he is a player that just wants. I stop my self there. It's non of my business and I don't have the time to think about stuff like that. But still. Girls are just...uhhh! Annoying. That is the word.

How about 'Crunchies'?

Sender: Angie Gilbert

Where the hell is this 'Crunchies' place? As if she knows that I ask myself that question she answers:

Manchester Road 46

Sender: Angie Gilbert

When?

Sender: Jace Sanders

I want to go at two thirty.

What about two thirty?

Sender: Angie Gilbert

Okay? This is seriously getting weird! She can read my thoughts. Like soul mates! Who am I kidding! What the hell is getting into me! I am not cliché! I live for facts. I mean, there is no chance that me, the nerd and Angie aka Miss Popular could come together. I look at the clock to my right. Two fifteen! I don't even know where this place is! What if I come too late! Why do I suddenly care about what other people think? What is happening to me? She bumped into me, then we texted and now I feel so different. What is going on? I run to my car and drive to Manchester Street. Unfortunately it is further away than I thought it would be. I get out and ask a Waitress for Angie's table and she leads me to her. She turns around and looks at me. A small smile appearing on her face. This is going to go great...
