Unfashionably Geeky

Chapter 2

UNFASHIONABLY GEEKY

“Hansel?” I probably looked confused mixed with a bit of shock. “You better not be fucking with me Lance.” I gave him my best stern look.

“Wow! Ker? Since when did you swear?” he completely forgot about my questions and was too concerned about his question

“I only swear sometimes. For example when someone says something to me that shocks me and won’t answer my questions….” I said with a raised eyebrow.

“right, right. Hansel, yeah well he likes you.” He said it like it was no big deal, but to me it was.

“Lance, stop acting like it means nothing, because to me it means something!” I could feel my anger boiling up. “You may get heaps of girls, but I don’t get heaps of guys!”

“What are you trying to say, Ker? That you don’t get guys?” he sounded mad too “You have to be kidding! You do get guys! I mean how do you think you lost your virginity?”

I could feel my face going red. “whatever, you have no right to judge me. You don’t even understand the half of it!” he turned to look at me obviously confused.

“Fine. I’ll take things seriously. Only because I don’t want to fight with you.” He sighed

“Alright thank you, Lance.” Before I knew what I was doing I kissed him on the cheek while he was looking the opposite way. He snapped his head around and looked at me with shock.

OMG!? Did I really just do that, I gave him an awkward smile to cover up my surprise. He returned it with another awkward smile.

“umm…  yeah, he told me that last week. He was like ‘Did I ever mention Ker is super hot’”

“And what did you say?” I asked curiously

“Me? I didn’t say anything, I was like… ‘ok’” That felt like a punch in the gut. ‘Ker’ was his nickname for me and it would’ve been nice/cute for him to say something along the lines of ‘Ker, is my nickname for her!” but oh well.

“cool, ok.” Trying to sound nonchalant about it all.

“ohhhhkkaayyy…?” he said obviously trying to read my blank facial expression.

I think that I have perfected my nonchalant/blank facial expression, because clearly he is confused about how I am feeling right now.

I may look like it doesn’t matter but actually everything we have spoken about in the past few minutes have really confused my emotions, so to be honest right now, I am not even sure how I feel.

“Hey, Ker. Did you just fart? Because you blew me away.” He smirked at me

“ahaha, nice try.  “Do you have a band-aid; because I scraped my knee falling for you.” Lance and I have this thing where we have to say cheesy pick-up lines until one of us can’t beat that pick-up line.

“Do you have a mirror in your pants; because I can see myself in them.”

“Are you wearing space pants? Because your ass is out of this world.” I am sure he can’t beat that one!

I watched as he thought about his next pick-up line. Suddenly his frown curved upside down into a smile

“Girl, you should sell hotdogs, because you already know how to make a weiner stand.” His smile turned into a cheeky smirk. Damn! That one is hard to beat, but if there is one thing he should know about me is that I don’t like losing.

“I’ll kiss you in the rain, so that you’ll get twice as wet.” I said with a wink just to add to the effect.

“Darnit, Ker! That was my last line, I was hoping you wouldn’t be able to up that.” I jumped off my bed so that I could do a victory dance. It was more like a ‘victory do weird movements with your body.’
