Falling For A Hot Nerd

I'm in the kitchen working on my school home works when my phone rang, so I answered it as fast as I saw who it is.

"Hey, what's up?" I answer, putting my phone between my ear and my shoulder to reach my paper from the other side of the table

"Hey, are you busy?"

"Actually, I'm currently doing my homework but, what's up?"

"Sorry, I just...there something you should see."

"Okay, what?"

"I sent something on your email. Check it out."

I frown, but reach my laptop opening my email on the browser, then open up the email sent to me. It a video file, so I opened it and watch it. It made me shocked, stunned in my seat. I am watching my friend, Dylan, beating the hell out of the heir of Clarke Technologies in a CCTV video.

I rashly go back to my phone, anxious all of a sudden.

"Where did you get this?"

"I got it from the police myself. I can't let Dylan be in a bad place."

"How exactly?"

"I bribed them into giving the video."

"You what?!" I said even more shocked.

"Do you understand what is going on here? What could happen to Dylan? My parents are the lawyers who are handling the goddamn case for Pete's sake!"

"I know, that's why I need your help. You can't let them know. If they will, everything will be compromised."

I knitted my eyebrows, clueless.

"What are you talking about?"

"I can't tell you right now, but for now please keep an eye on your parents. I promise it is all for good."

"Alright, I will."

"Thanks. I'll talk to you later."

"Later, Romel."

I hung up my phone, and then look into my laptop once more, frightened for something that's yet to come.

"Honey?"

I heard my mom's voice so I quickly slam my laptop down looking back to see her looking at me.

"Y-yes, mom?"

She knitted her eyebrows for a second, then look at my laptop, then me.

"Are you ok? You seem nervous?"

"Me? N-Nah, I'm good! I'm just uh- working through my homework."

"Okay..." She sounded suspicious. "but anyway, I ordered some pizza, want some?"

I just nod, and then she smiles at me. Walking away afterward to get something in the kitchen. Once I can't hear or see her no more, pressing my head on my palms, feeling relief.

"That was close," I muttered.

If my parents learn about this Dylan is gonna be in really big trouble. I just hope this one finishes it starts.

"Are you sure it is ok?"

Dylan said over the phone, hesitancy visible in his voice.

I am inviting Dylan to come over with me to my Grandfather's wine yard. Yes, that's right, I decided to let off steam at my grandpa's yard, where there are fewer people, and I want Dylan to come with me for some reason.
