THE NERDY GIRL

👓 Chapter 16 - Heartbreak

"I guess washing dishes is fun " Tristan said and Wren rolled her eyes as she kept herself busy, she dumped the plates for him to rinse. He looked at her and said " What makes you think I'll do this? I saved your little ass and you make me work? It's not fair" he pouted.

"You should've known what you were signing up for the moment you said you were going to do this " she challenged. "Plus this is my punishment for being late and you're here with me, no one stays idle while I work, got it?" she stuck her tongue out at him and he gave a disgusted look. She rolled her eyes at him and he chuckled softly.

"There should be a machine doing this thing... This isn't meant to be for us. Bartenders don't do this, do they?"
He whined,

"I think you forgot the part where I said that this was a punishment.. Gosh, Tristan Caves, are you such a lazy ass? Last time I checked, you are on the school's basketball and soccer team, am I correct? " She sounded frustrated by his continuous childishness. He seemed to be enjoying it as he stood there, smirking at her.

"You actually know some things about me, Wren. That's your name, right? A small bird lemme put it, birdie?" he said and she scoffed.

"You don't even know my name? Great.. Just great. "

"Did you need me to? "

"Hell no! "

"Why's that? "

"Because you're a jerkface " she accused. "I don't even know why I'm talking to you, we were never meant to be friends! "

"You're talking to me because I saved you twice.. Your life and your job. Did I add that you hug really well ?" he winked at her. "And for being friends.. Is that what you want? " he smirked, raising his eyebrow.

"Asshole, I hate you! As much as I'm grateful to you, I hate your guts.. It creeps the crap outta me! " she spat. Saying this was only meant to ease the awkwardness. And she was glad she could get back at him with her words.

"Take those words back, nerd" he was back to calling her 'nerd' .he gave a serious look launching towards her.

"Make me " she gritted her teeth, saying. She loved seeing him not smirking, the feeling was so fulfilling!

"Really?" he smirked again, pinning her to the wall. Then she wondered what he was up to. It isn't.....

No no no no no no

She shook her head.

"Then, you won't get back your. Biology note" he stuck out his tongue playfully.

"How mature of you " she spat, relieved. She didn't actually know what she was expecting... "And how am I sure you're with this note ?"

"Should I say... I guess Ian's name looks good in your writing.. Note the sarcasm, please " he laughed and she turned tomatoes.

She had written Ian's name all over the back page of her book, designing each letter. She knew she suck at designing but this wasn't the case! Tristan was the last person she expect to learn about her crush on Ian.

"Awww... See her blush... How cute.. " he laughed

"Did you see that? " She asked quietly, hiding her face.

"Yes, duh" he said with clear mock in his voice

"Now, give it back " she demanded, her hand stretched out. She knew he would never give it back. He was so annoying and childish. Now she believed it when Ryder said he wore a cold face in school as a façade.

"Come get it" he ran out, at that.

"Ughh! You little piece of... " she groaned, running after him. She so hated this...
