Miss Popular and the Nerd

Ch. 7 Thoughts and the Secret

Chapter 7  

Thoughts...  

Jace POV  

Ugh... Why do girls have to be so confusing? First she liked me and then suddenly she recognizes me and hates me! What the hell? I have exactly one secret. And this one secret ruins everything. It has ruined everything for me ever since it happened. I really like Angie. Or should I rather say liked. I never thought she would be into video games! I thought she is bitchy and and bossy. She is not at all like her friends. I thought she was going to be dumb but she is actually into all the geeky stuff I am into! I never thought Mr. Nerd and Miss Popular could have anything in common. It is just like the saying goes: Don't judge a book by its cover!

Sometimes even I make mistakes! And now I can't stop thinking about her. She really surprised me. But then comes Nessi and ruins everything again and again! Why? I don't understand how I could be so wrong. I mean I have made exactly two mistakes in my life. First, thinking that my dad would stay with my mom forever. And second of all that Angie would be a bitch. Nobody is perfect is all I am going to say about that.  

One way or another nothing would have ever happened between us so maybe I should be glad that the secret finished it off so early. But still... There still is a spark of hope. What am I thinking?! Nothing will ever happen! I mean who am I kidding? Mr. Nerd and Miss Popular. It is as if we are in different worlds, no let's rather say dimensions. Everybody knows everything about her, nobody knows anything about me. She is perfect, I am let's just say normal. Do I really have to keep going? We are just so different! It is seriously killing me! I concentrate on the road I am driving on, so that my mind isn't full of weird relationship imaginations which will never come true. I keep driving and see how the road suddenly changes. I leave the noble district full of villas and gardens and it is just perfect. Everything changes. Outside the villas are replaced by apartment blocks. There are no gardens, just people hanging out on the streets. Probably drinking and taking drugs. I park my car and go inside our apartment.  All I can hear is screaming. Welcome home!  

“Dylan! Leave Lina and Sarah alone!” Mom screams. Ugh... I sometimes wish that my family wasn't my family. I mean I like them but still. If you grow up in a family were there is almost no money you know that you have to do your best in school because otherwise you have no chance in life. We ween't always this poor family. No believe me we were rich when my dad was still around. But then he left. With him leaving he took all of our money. He also took away our future, our chance of a good education and our perspective. He left us in debt. I had to take over responsibility, my mom had to take over three low-paid jobs and evening school.  

“Jace! Do something!” Moms shouts noticing me. If she is not able to handle things, I have to come and be the hero. “Lina, Sarah go to your room. Dylan you are 14 years old. Grow up for God's sake!” I scream directly in their faces. That shut them up. I go to my mom. “Thank you. Sometimes I think you are the only decent child I have. I am going to go to work at four and I'll be back at leven or so. Hopefully I don't have to take over Lisas shift! Well, anyway. I'll see you then!” She leaves me alone with three crazy siblings and a messy living room. I go to the refrigerator. Inside I see three pizzas, fries and chicken in KFC style. Sometimes I really don't understand why we aren't fat. I turn to the living room and clean it up. I still think about Angie. She really did suprise me. She is actually nice. If we weren't in this situation we would probably be best friends. But it isn't like that. I feel weird. I guess we can't prevent our next meeting. Actually I am kind of happy she forgot the dry-cleaning. We get to meet again. Maybe then we could talk about our fight. How does that sound? Our fight. I say it as if I am like in anrelationship with her! What the hell is happening to me?! Nothing will ever happen. It is not allowed to happen. I can see my friends faces when I tell them about our relationship. It would look like a mixture of being appalled, confused and just unbelieving. In other words ridicioulous.  

“Why are you so happy?” I hear Dylan say.

“ Just a funny thought” I answer.

“Girls?” he asks.

“Since when are you interested in my thoughts about girls?” I snap back at him.

“Sorry for being interested in you!” he says. Dylan is like my dads clone. He always talks back, he looks like him and he acts like him. I guess that is why I cut him off when dad left. He just reminded me too much of him. Dylan never forgave me. I totally understand his behaviour but still. I am more of a mommys boy. I was always there for her. Especially when dad left. Dylan was kind of between mom and dad but then decided to stay with mom. I am happy he stayed. Lina and Sarah were always with mom. They would have never gone with dad. There was only one person that went to dad. It was Vanessa. Also known as Nessi. My twin sister.
