Ruining The Life Of A Jerk. (Sequel To A Nerds Romance)

The Plan, Part Two.

I heard a few of the students asking why there was a T.V in the Gym, but most of them just paid attention to the Gym teacher.

I hope Sophie can figure out these clues. She should be able to, because they're not hard. And I know she's smart.

Too smart.

Sometimes I wish she wasn't as smart. But then again, I love how smart she is. I wouldn't change a thing.

I hate this love thing. I've always made fun of people who were this mushy. It's stupid. But, now that I know how it feels, I have no choice but to be mushy.

During class, I hide under the bleachers so no one can see me. Yes, it's uncomfortable to be hiding under here for forty-five minutes, but it's funny watching these freshman play what they think what basketball is.

As I watch the time, I get more and more jittery, knowing that Sophie could come in here any minute.

I wonder what she's going to think.

When the bell rings, and everyone walks out, I start to think that she's not going to come in, and my stomach drops. But then I see a dark blond headed girl walk in, and smile.

She's here.

I stand up then walk in front of the bleachers, and I watch as she places her hand over her mouth.

"Oh..My..." I hear her say.

I hope that, that is a good sign.

I walk towards her, and I hear the video tape talk.

"Move. I'll do it." I hear my voice on the T.V say, and I stuff my hands in my pocket.

"Okay Sophie, I'm sorry, but this is going to hurt." I join in at this point, causing her to jump.

"But I'm doing this because you need to breathe."

She turns around quickly, letting me see her beautiful, blushing face.

We stand there looking at each other, and I want to say something, but I didn't plan what to say after this point. So, my tongue is frozen.

I can hear the tape rolling, and Sophie screaming and crying. My heart aches whenever she screams that we were all jerks, and no matter how much I try, I can't push the tears out of my eyes.

The tape stops, and I hear it click.

"Yes, Zack?" She asks. I guess she realized I wasn't going to speak first.

I sniff,and blink rapidly to try to not cry. "Sophie, I really need to tell you that I am sorry. For every single thing that I have done in my life to you. You have been nothing but nice to me, and I have taken that to my advantage. I never realized how much you really meant to me, and how much.." I try to think of a word that word describe how I feel, but I can't think of one, and a few tears fall down my face, then I turn my face away from her to try to hide them from her.

Be strong, Zack

"How much..?" She trails off, and I realize that she's crying too, because she sniffs.

I look back at her. "H-how much I-I'm really in love you."

No matter how long I'm going to live, I'll always remember the glow in her eyes in this moment. "What?"

"This is where we first kissed." I spread my arms out. "And where I started having some kind of feelings for you." I take a step towards her, silent tears falling from my eyes. "And this is where I told you that I love you." I grab Sophie's tiny hands, and look directly into her eyes. "Please forgive me, Princess."

She smiles, and I know that she believes me, and that she's mine now. "Zack, I...I love you too. And I forgive you."

I let out a little laugh, and I pick her up, and twirl her around. "Yes! Yes, yes, yes, yes!!"

Now, this part I never planned, but when I put her down, I take her face in both of my hands and kiss her as hard as I can.

I love her lips.

What surprises me though, is she wraps her arms around my neck, and kisses me back.

But everything is ruined when I hear one voice. One voice that I never considered. One voice that should have never been in there.

One voice that I hate.

"Sophie, what are you doing?"

We both break the kiss, and turn towards the door to see, Eli standing there, staring at me with hatred, and looking at Sophie with wide eyes.

I hate him.
