Nerds revolution (on hold)

Chapter 2: The party

I get through the day ignoring everybody. Thank god Ali, Jake and I are in all the same classes or else I would have probably died by now. When Jake brings me home I immediately grab a cookie and go upstairs and continue to read a book I started yesterday. It's about a popular girl that has the most amazing life ever she goes to prom and has the best night of her life.

 

I usually don't read these type of books because I find the too unrealistic but I could use some tips for going to a school party since my parents are forcing me to go. At least I got Ali and Jake to come with me. I have no idea what I'm going to wear. It has to be a casual dress, I think I'll just wear the dress my grandma gave me a few years before she died. I really like it, it's not too long but it's not too short either, it goes till my knees and it's tea green.

 

I really don't want to go but mom says I need more friends and dad says I could use a little more social life. I decide to ask Jake if he wants to come over because it's really getting boring. After a few minutes he texts me back and that he's nearby so he'll get here in a few minutes.

 

I go downstairs and start making some mac and cheese, Jake loves it so I'll make some for him too. When I'm finished I hear Jake knocking at the door. Hey, I just made mac and cheese you want some? I say when I open the door. Shure, when are we going to the party tonight? Jake asks. I don't know, I asked Ali and she said she can meet us there at eight o'clock, I say while eating some mac and cheese and giving Jake his.

 

When we're done eating I decide to ask Jake if he wants to do something fun. I don't know why but lately I've been feeling bored all the time. That's why I called Jake over, he always knows how to cheer me up.

 

You'd think by now we would be dating since we're like perfect for each other but I don't think Jake thinks of me like that he loves me more like a sister or at least I think he does, I would never have the courage to ask him and I don't think he has the courage to ask me neither but I don't really mind I'm afraid that if we actually dated and we fight we won't ever be friends anymore and I can't live without Jake, sure I love Ali too but sometimes me and Jake are more close, it depends from the topic though because me and Ali have a lot of things in common too.

 

Jake decides to ask me if I want to help him decide what to wear because he knows I love fashion. Yes, I scream immediately. I know it's hard to believe when I'm wearing long skirts and old Star Wars T-shirts but I really do. I guess I'm just not so comfortable just wearing unfashionable things because I'm a nerd.

 

But I do love fashion I even started to design clothes 3 years ago it was actually on my birthday when I turned 14 and my birthday present from my mom was tickets to go watch a modeling show. We go upstairs and I show him some designs, we keep looking until we find something that he likes and has at home, then we just lay on my bed until its 5 o'clock. Then we get up and Jake goes home to change and come pick me up. When he leaves I immediately go upstairs to take a shower. When I'm done I do my hair, I decide to put it in a bun and then I put my dress on.

 

A few minutes after I'm done I hear Jake honk at the front. I grab my purse leave a letter for my parents since neither of them has gotten home yet and then I head out to Jake's car. We arrive at the party at the same time that Ali does and then we go inside. We see Mindy and her boyfriend Scott standing at the door. When she sees us she immediately start saying: Well, well, well look who decided to show up. Didn't you have a boring movie to watch or homework or some other boring thing to do on a Friday? I ignore her and go inside just like Ali and Jake does. When we get in I hear people say things like: "what are they doing here?" "they're going to ruin the party" "omg they look so pathetic" "shouldn't they be reading a book or something at home?" "look at the gay guy with them"

 

Gay guy seriously? I ask myself. Jake has glasses and hangs out with only 2 girls but that doesn't mean he's gay. He just hangs out with the two of us because he's known us for so long and other people are too much of an asshole to talk to him. I turn around to look at Jake and see that he clearly heard this and is pretty hurt by it his eyes are filled with tears, this is my fault I shouldn't have make them come with me neither one of them, now they're getting bullied for my fault. I decide to take his mind of that and ask him if he wants some punch.

 

A few minutes later Nicki comes up the stage and start announcing that they're now going to give the award for the person of the year. I really don't like those awards they give, it's just another way to remind everybody that the popular kids rule the school. Nicki keeps speaking: And the award goes to............ Mindy. Where's Mindy? Here I am. I hear her voice and then I hear her coming up the stairs to the stage. Thank you so much everybody, she starts saying, I'm so happy, I'm glad that I can help the school and everybody even though I'm really busy with you know being leader of the cheerleading squad and everything but I'm just so glad that I'm me and I have my boyfriend Scott and that I'm not a loser like Ashley and her friends.

 

At that moment everybody starts laughing at us, my eyes fill up with tears, I can't believe she said that in front of everybody. I can't take it anymore I just run out of there to the parking lot and I notice that Ali and Jake run out with me while their crying as well. We just go sit under a tree and keep crying.

 

And then after a few minutes we stop when we hear something. I didn't hear it that good but it sounded like someone screaming for help. I get up and ask Ali and Jake if they heard that too. They also get up and say yes at the same time. And then we hear it again. Okay that was definitely someone screaming for help. Before I could think I was already running to the person that was screaming and begging for his life, I didn't even know what I was going to do when I get there or even what happened to the person.

 

I finally start getting closer but I pause when I see a group of people. It's like four people three guys and a girl. At that time Ali and Jake catch up to me. And Jake asks what do you think they're doing? I don't know where I got the courage from but at that moment I screamed as loud as I can: LEAVE HIM ALONE. When they turn around I can see their faces. Their shirts are totally dirty with blood and they have fangs like, like, Oh My God, like vampires. I immediately start running and Jake and Ali too.

 

But before we could get any further one of them just appear in front of us. Don't move he says, by now his fangs disappear. I back away since I'm the closest to him. I keep backing away until I hit someone. If I was scared then I don't know how I'm feeling now. I turned my head a little and then I sigh of relief.

 

It's Jake. He holed me tight and said its okay, everything is going to be okay. I think to myself is he crazy? A guy who's got blood running over his clothes is standing in front of us and I'm pretty sure that blood is from the person that we heard screaming and not to forget that a few minutes ago he had vampire fangs. But a part of me still appreciates that he's trying to make me feel better.

I turn around and see that Ali is just freezed and the others are standing around us. I would try to run but if they came out of nowhere in front of me last time I've got a feeling they can do it again. I look over them and see a person laying on the ground, it's a guy. Probably the one we heard screaming for help. He's not moving anymore, I think he's dead. I turn around and look at the guy that cached up to me first. He looks like the leader. And then I ask him multiple questions at the same time: Who are you people? What are you? What are you doing here? Why did you kill that guy? Are you going to kill us too?
