His Nerd

Chapter 7

Lainey's pov:

I'm getting ready for dinner and we're having dinner with the Martin family. So I'm getting ready and unfortunately I have to wear a dress. I was going to wear skinny jeans with a cute sweater but my mom didn't let me and tried my best to convince her on letting me wear a sweatshirt. It didn't work obviously. I don't like dresses they're so uncomfortable and they're not my thing at all. But this dress isn't bad looking on me it looks...well I mean at least I look decent in it. The dress is a short off the shoulders dark red dress. I'm gonna wear my black flats and just going to brush my hair. Let's see for my face I'm not wearing makeup! Theirs no way I'm wearing makeup, I'll just wear some chapstick and...TADA I'm done.

Now I'll just draw cause what else can I do? I don't now what to draw and I honestly haven't drawn in a very long time.

Let's see what to draw, what to draw, what to draw?
Ughh I don't know what to draw!! Why is this so hard?

Maybe? No. What about? Nahh. Wait? NO!!

I don't know at what time I stood up and started to walk towards my window and sense I had opened the curtains earlier I found myself staring at the neighbors bedroom.

I went back to my sketchbook as just started drawing without even realizing what I was drawing. I lost track of time when the door bell rang and I was so close to finishing the drawing.

"Lain come down. The neighbors are here and mom wants us in the living room now." Rylee said standing by the door.

"Ok I'll be down in a sec. Oooh you look nice who are you trying to impress?" I ask Rylee and she just rolls her eyes.

"no one. You look nice too, who you trying to impress? The neighbor?" Rylee said and my cheeks instantly turn hot.

"Haha I knew it! You're trying to impress the neighbor!" She said while laughing.

"No I'm not you just cut me off guard that's all." I try to defend myself and all of a sudden Rylee just goes quiet.

"I haven't seen you draw in so long what are you drawing? Or should I say who are you drawing?"

"Nobody just go down."

"Lain that doesn't look like nobody to me. In fact the boy in the painting looks familiar."

"Okayyyy you know what let's go down. How does that sound?" I say walking out of my room and down to the living room.

"Hey Lainey, don't you look lovely tonight and you too Rylee." Mindy says with a polite smile.

"Thank you" Rylee and I say at the same time.

"Where's Zach?" Rylee asked

"Ohh he's in the kitchen with The rest of the family."

"Ok when are we eating then?" My dad said walking into the living room with the rest of the boys and mr. Martin walking behind him.

Woah.

Ethan doesn't look bad in jeans and a white dress shirt. He looks...good, like actually good.

"Hey Lainey, you look nice today." Ethan said snapping me back to reality.

"Thanks, you don't look bad yourself." I say my cheeks getting hot.

Don't start thinking like that Lainey. You can't fall for someone again!

"Let's go sit down." My dad comes up to us and sending the 'I'm watching you' look over to Ethan. I give Ethan a sorry look before going with everyone else and sitting on the couch, where Ethan then joins me a couple seconds later.
