The Nerd and The Bad Boy

Chapter 7

My father told me to never open the door unless you know who it is. But in this case I decided to open it before I saw who it was. Bad idea. As soon as I opened it I closed it. Stupid Toby why did he have to come here.

"Aren't you supposed to at school Toby?" "I could say the same for you." "I'm sick you idiot, now go away." I go up to my room after I locked the doors......... and windows. You can never know with him. "Oh come on. I'm just giving you crap. Please let me in." Okay I know it would be a bad idea to let him in but he sounded sincere and if I don't let him in who knows what he might do. He could wait there all day.

I go back downstairs and open the door for him to come in. "Jake said you were sick but you really don't look sick." "Yeah well I am. Now is there a point to why you are here?" He took a second to answer me. It was kind of awkward. He just stared at me. Okay it was really awkward. This is one of the point when you want to look away but you can't because you just can't.

"Mar I'm so sorry if I pisses you off yesterday. It's not what I meant to do. I just couldn't stand watching you with him. I have no idea what came over me. I've never felt like this before about a girl. You just draw me in." I stare at him like he is crazy. What the heck did he mean he couldn't stand seeing me with Reece? I have no idea what to do about this.

"Toby I think you should leave. Now." He looks completely broken. "Fine." He stormed out, slamming the door behind him. I felt bad for hurting him but not for what I said. I don't like Toby. I just can't. All he brings is trouble and I just have to focus on school to get into a good college and make my parents proud. Yeah that's my goal. Make my parents proud. Every typical kid of parents who own a Fortune 500 company.

The next day I decided to go to school so I wouldn't miss more of class and assignments. It seemed very quite in first hour. I guess Toby decided to skip today. I wasn't too worried about it. At lunch I decided to eat in the library and work on some school assignments I missed. I found a quite spot to work and so no one would see me. I don't need anymore drama in my life.

I finish all my assignments by the time lunch is over. The rest of the day was boring as always. I decided to walk home today because it was very nice out. As I'm walking I hear a motor cycle. I swear to Thor if this is who I think it is I'm done.

   Turns out it was just a random dude on a motor cycle. I get to my house and walk inside. Of course there is a note from my parents but I don't bother to read it because I know exactly what it says. I finish my homework and decide to go to bed. It's pretty late anyways.

   The next day Toby is gone again. Then he doesn't show up all week. I'm starting to get really worried about him. I decided to text him to see if he is at least still alive. "Hey Toby. I'm just check in." It sends so now I'm just waiting for an answer. All weekend goes by with no answer. I have given up on the whole ordeal. At midnight there is a small noise that sounds like pebbles knocking on my window. I thought I was just tired so I decided to try to go to bed but the noise happened again. I go to my window and look out in the night. I see a figure in a hoodie and shorts. They looked very sweaty.

  I decided to open my window a little bit. "Who are you and what do you want? I have my phone in my hand ready to call the police. You have 2 seconds." "I know you don't have your phone ready to call the police Mar." Oh my goddess. It's Toby. He is alive. "Toby why in the heck are you here? And why haven't you been answering my texts? I though you were dead." He just chuckles. Why is he chuckling? I'm serious. I start to close my window when he stop and starts to speak. "Look Mar I'm sorry I didn't answer you. I have a lot going on. Can I please come up?" "Okay. Meet me at the front door." I go to shut my window but he starts to climb up. Finally he makes it into my room. "Toby what the heck?! Are you crazy? You could have died." He just rolls his eyes at me.

   He didn't say anything to me but just went to lay on my bed and turn on the tv. We watch some tv before I couldn't take the silence anymore. "Toby why haven't you been at school? I was really worried." He had this quick sparkle of hope in his eyes but he covered it up really fast. "Mar I have a lot going on right now and I'm not ready to talk about it all. Maybe another day." I just sit there. I don't get why he likes me. I'm not that pretty. Or skinny at all. I'm not perfect like Meggie. But yet he always wants to be here. Maybe I should give him a chance.

    I woke up the next morning cuddles up to Toby. Once again we were going to be late but I didn't care. I liked how warm he was but yet wearing very little clothes. He looks so sweet when he is asleep. His dimples really show. His jaw is so relaxed and his hair is a mess and it makes him looks more irresistible. Woah what did I just say......?
