Miss Popular and the Nerd

Ch. 19The Cherry on the Top

Chapter 19  

The Cherry on the Top  

Jace POV  

I can't believe she would sleep with a guy like that! She knows he is a player but she still she does irresponsible thing with such an ass! I am so disappointed in her! I thought she would know better. Not like my sister, Nessi! I guess I was wrong thinking that we had a connection. Why would a popular girl like a guy like me? Yeah exactly, there is no reason! I hate myself for even thinking about her! Popular and nerd doesn't go together, at all. I guess I should never talk to her again. It's for the better. But I can't get her out of my head! It's like she is stuck in there. I leave school, angry and disappointed. I rip the door to my car open and fling myself inside. I never skip class, ever. But ever since I met her, I don't know. She has this power over me. I do think´gs that I would have never done otherwise. It is just weird.  

At home, I sit down on the couch and am just shaking my head. I have this feeling as if I am losing this giant chunk of me. And I am already missing it. I stare at the wall. How could Matt do this to me? After or history?!  

FLASHBACK BEGINNING (Jace aged eleven)

“Catch me if you can!” Matt screams at me and runs around. He always is sportier one so I have no chance with keeping up with him. Although I know that I will fail miserably I still run after him. He is so far in front of me that I almost can't see him anymore. But I keep running. He also continues running away from me. But then he suddenly stops. 

“Hey what's wrong?” I say finally having caught up with him.  

“I don't know if you want to see this but otherwise you are going to kill me!” he says unsure,  

“Of course I want to know! And I am not going to kill you.” I say reassuringly.  

“Look there” he say and points to the car on the opposite side of the street. When I look I see my dad pressing up against this very young girl that does NOT look like my mother. I stand there with my mouth wide open. Unbelieving and just overwhelmed. My dad is cheating on my mom. I feel a tear run down my cheek.

FLASHBACK END  

Matt ruined my parents relationship. If he hadn't told me, my parents would still be together and not divorced. Then we wouldn't have to worry about money or our future. But Matt ruined everything for me. And now he took the only thing I was willing to change for away. My life is a mess.  

“Hey hon! Aren't you supposed to be in school?” my mom asks as she enters the  house.  

“Could be.” I say.  

“Well you are not going to be skipping a lot of school for a long time. Look Jace. You are old enough to understand, right? We don't have enough money for you to go to college or university. Our bank account is...is” She says and I can see tears filling up her eyes. I hug her closely.  

“Everything is going to be alright.” I say, trying to sound convincing. She just nods and leaves to her room.   Well tops my day off. I now officially don't have a future! I already try my best. But my best is't enough. I have to do so much better if I want to get a full-paid scholarship. Learn, learn, learn. No more whining or skipping school. The best thing for me would be to just forget I ever met Angie. That is going to be hard. I miss her already. I can't get her out of my head. We had this bond. A very special bond. And I don't think I will ever be able to forget that.
