Being The Schools Nerd: The Bullied, The Misunderstood, The Unloved

Chapter 19/under the stars

"So let me get this straight, you ran into a pole because of a chihuahua chasing you," I said laughing

"Yup. Busted my nose. Cried all the way to the hospital," Dean chuckled

"Aww I can see the crooked nose from the side," I joked

He stuck out his tongue at me.

I returned the favor.

"I like your eyes," he said out of nowhere

"I...um...thanks," I blushed and looked away

He began to chuckle, "I find it cute when you blush."

"Why do you have to make it like this!" I groaned

"Make it like what?" he smirked

"All weird and stuff," I laughed

He leaned in closer, his breath fanned my face.

"Is this weird?" he asked

I looked up at him.

"N-no," I whispered

"Can I kiss you?" he asked

I nodded. That was the best I could do because no words seemed to come to my head.

His lips were soft and warm on my own.

This was the first kiss I wasn't dared to do or pushed to do. It felt nice and different from the last time. I know a kiss is a kiss but this wasn't first kiss me anymore.

He pulled away and I instantly felt cold from his absence.

Geez barely know the guy my subconscious mocked.

I barely knew him yet he made me feel so comfortable and at easy. I won't say it out loud because he'll get cocky but he made me feel beautiful and happy. I know cheesy right?

"Penny for your thoughts?" Dean asked as he stared at me

I shook my head, "it's nothing," I said

He nodded, "so why is it that a sweet girl like you is with the bad boys?" He laid back on the grass and looked up at the stars.

I laid next to him and rested my head on his warm arm.

"They became my protectors in a way," I replied

"Protectors?" He questioned

"Yeah," I answered

"In what way?" He asked

"Protecting me against my bullies," I added

"Bullies? Why would anyone want to bully you?" He turned his head and looked at me

I shrugged, "I don't know been asking myself that same question all my life," I sighed and turned my gaze to the stars, "I never get the answer."

"Can I say something?" He asked

"Yeah sure," I responded

"You don't deserve to get bullied. No one does in fact. I've only know you for a short while but you have this magnetic personality. You're kind, and funny, and damn right amazing. Those who do such things can go suck it," He wrapped an arm around me.

I smiled into his chest and breathed in his manly scent. Hearing him being so protective made all mushy and happy. These were feelings I've never felt before.

It's a crush sweetheart or have you never heard of one before? My subconscious appeared to mock me again.

"I'm getting sleepy, " Dean chuckled as he turned to look at me
