The Bad Boys Vs. The Geeks

Chapter 5

Outside of the Charity Ball.

When we arrived at the Ball, my mother, Kate and I, all got out of the car and waited for our dates to accompany us.

"Here they come." My mother said just as my father's car rolled into the parking space next to my mother's car.

Nick walked up to me and extended his elbow out.

"Shall we go in Miss Shy?" He said politely with a warm smile on his face.

"We shall Mister Bixon." I replied politely back. I took his arm, linking our arms at the elbows with a small nod and a warm smile.

He lead me up the steps to the entrance, were a guy stood making sure that everyone that is on the list is here or not.

"Good evening. Can I have your names please?" The man spoke politely with a friendly smile on his face. But his eyes told you that if you cause any trouble, he will throw you out.

"Carter Shy. I'm on the VIP list and this is my plus one." I said and took out my VIP card and showed it to the man.

He looked at the VIP card then at the list in his hand before handing it back to me.

"Have a nice evening Miss Shy and Mister Bixon." He said and opened the door for us before going to my mother and brother.

"So. What happens now?" Nick asked me as soon as we stepped into the Ball room.

"I don't know. Drink Champagne. Dance a little. Convers with people. Have dinner. Dance on another slow song. Then we can go home if we want." I said as I remembered the previous time I came to one with Alex.

"Okay cool. Do you want a glass of Champagne?" He asked as we make our way to our assigned seats.

"Yes please." I said to Nick.

He went to pull my chair out and when I took my seat he pushed it in like a true gentlemen.

He left to get us something to drink and my thoughts went back to Friday at school.

I walked out of my last class of the day to my locker to get my homework out so I can do it tomorrow.

Just as I came around the corner, I walked straight into a wall.

Wait. Who would put a wall up in the middle of a corridor?

I looked up at the so called wall, only to see that I walked right into the new guy that just transferred from another school.

"Oh my god. I'm so sorry. I wasn't expecting anyone else to still be here." I said in a rush.

"Oh no. It's fine. Did you get hurt?" He asked as he checked over my face for some sort of cut or something.

"No I'm fine. Again I apologize for walking into you." I said and bent down to pick up my books I dropped.

He bent down to help me and we got all my books in my bag before we stood up.

"I'm Nick Bixon. The new guy. And you are?" He said with his hand out for me to take my book.

"Carter Shy. The Geek. You might want to stay away from me." I said as I took my music book from him before I started to rub my left arm with my right.

"Why?" He asked looking confused.

"I'm known as the Geek in the school. So It might hurt your reputation if people sow you hanging out with The Geek." I said not looking up at him.
