CHAPTER 8
The Nerd and The Player
Blake's POV
Call her.
No, don't call her.
Be a man and just call her.
No, don't call her. What am I supposed to tell her if she asks me how I got her number? I don't think she'll appreciate that sweet story on how I stole Cole's phone just to get it. Gladly, the idiot does not have a password.
The week following Lynne's plan, Terra stopped sitting with us during lunch and hung out with the other scholarship students.
I thought that it was to avoid Jack, but then, I noticed that she sat away from me during Algebra too. Every time I tried to talk to her, she pretended not to see me walked away.
It had been bother me all week why she had been acting that way. I needed to know the reason. So, at last, I called her. The phone wrung four times before she finally picked up.
"Hello." I heard her soft voice from the other side of the line.
"Hey, it's Blake."
"Umm, h-hey. W-What's up?" she stuttered making me smile at how cute she was.
"I was wondering if you were free," I said, scratching the back of my head.
"Why?"
"I wanted to hang out. The weather's great outside," I said, immediately cringing at my comment on the weather.
"I-I don't know if it's a good idea."
"Why not? If this is about the rumors those scholarship students spread, it's not true. I've heard them say that I've raped a few girls, but I swear I'm not like that."
I heard her chuckle, "Yeah, I heard that too. But I know that you're not that kind of a guy. You didn't take advantage of me that night. I trust you more than those rumors," she replied and I let out a sigh of relief.
"Then, why are you avoiding me?"
"Addelyn told me to stay away from you", she replied and I frowned.
A part of me was happy that Terra wasn't mad at me. But the other part of me was upset that Lynne would say that to her.
"I'll talk to Addelyn about it. Don't worry."
"No, no. I can't get into her bad side again. I don't know what she's capable of."
"She'll listen to me," I promised.
"I-I don't know Blake."
"Tell me this: do you or do you not want to hang out with me? Forget about Addelyn or Cole or anybody else who would not approve of this."
"I-I guess I don't m-mind." She stammered and I smiled.
"Great, consider this our first date." I smirked. "I'll pick you up from Cole's house."
I hung up and dialed Lynne's number
"Hey Blake!" her cheery voice rung into my ears.
"Lynne, we need to talk," I said.
She groaned into the phone "What is it about this time?"
"Did you tell Terra to stay away from me?"
"Maybe, maybe not. But probably," she replied with mock innocence.
"Oh my god Lynne. Why do you keep doing this? What's your problem with her?"
