The Nerd

Chapter 8

Harry.

I thought Gemma's brother was gonna be the one to watch me?

What if he is Gemma's brother?

I continued to walk to my car, wich is behind his. he got out of the car and walk going my way. I was about to get in my car when he shut the door.

"Uhh. What?" I said. Clearly confused with his actions.

"What do you mean what? I-" He stopped in the middle of his sentnce and slid his hand through his hair.

His hair. It looked so soft.

No. I can't think like that.

"Ugh. I'm Gemma's brother. The person who's going to take care of you for the rest of the day?" Oh. He is Gemma's brother. No wonder they look very much alike.

"You probably remember me since we met the other day. In class. I may be more quite in school but hey, hiding secrets and being mysterious is what I am good at. So why let go?" He kept going on and on about himself on the way to school. And, from his stories, he may be hiding alot from the people at school but, he is a good person.

"Alright, babe-" I stopped him from talking... again.

"Don't call me 'babe'. You're not my boyfriend." I said fixing my hair seeing that we were about to park.

"Alright. If that's what you want ba- I mean, Alexandra." He said with a smile. "Well, are you planning on getting out or just stay here for the rest of the day?" He said making me remember that we had parked.

I got out of the car and thanked Harry for the ride. For someone like him, he's very charming. I may not understand his personality yet, but I'll probably get him soon.

I was sitting in English class. Taking down notes as I stared at the Powerpoint Presentation our proffessor made. As I was taking notes, my phone vibrated in my bag. I wondered who it was since the people I ever talk to on my phone are my friends and my brothers. I reached for my phone in my bag and read the message.

•Unknown Number
* hello!! I know you're bussy but can we talk later? *

I didn't know who's number it was. But then I got a few more.

* I really miss you *

* I don't lile the way he looked at you just come back to me so we can both be happy *

* I promise to give you anything you want *

* I'm gonna kill that guy *

I didn't bother looking at the others this person just sent me and texting back. I deleted his number from my phone and planned to tell nobody about it until it starts again.

"Ms. Austin," The proffessor said making me look up realimg he was a fee steps awayfrom my seat.

"Yes, sir?" I said taking a gulp. Nervous that I probably won't be able to answer his question since I wasn't really listening.

"If you are sooo interested in your phone, maybe you would like to share it to the class." He said. I was thinking for an excuse but he made his decision.

"I'll see you in detention." Ugh. Why?!?!?
The bell rang for luch and I ran out of the classroom and went straight to my locker to find Ashley waitng there.

"How was Mr. Cox's class?" Ashley said, reffering to my english teacher.

"I got detention." I said dissapointingly.

"WOW. What'd you do?" I don't get why she is so amazed by it. Like it's a blessing to get into detention.

"Some jackass texted me in the middle of class. He caught me and that's when he said I was getting detention."

"Aww. Poor Alexa got detention. Don't worry I got into it too. I was caught eating in class. Since, you know, I didn't eat breakfast. As usual." She said closing her locker.

We walked to the cafeteria and ordered our food. We sat on our usual seat and the rest of the girls were already seated.

"Alexandra, how was it last night" Breanna asked me, winking as if I have done something.

"What?" I said. Very confused with what she wants to put out.

"Ahahaha just messing with you, girl." She said. Leaving me thinking about what she said.

"She's just messing with you, Lexa. She started saying that you did something with that Harry kid." Oh.

"So, just because I came out of someone else's car means I hooked with them? is that it?" I said making them all giggle.

"It's just wierd to see you coming out of someone else's car when you have three of your own." Jean said while texting away on her phone.

"Well, you should start eating and stop texting." Nicole said, playfully pushing Jean's shoulder.

"My food can wait if I want it to. Besides, I'm talking to someone important." Jean said... still not looking up from her phone.

We began to eat and talk endlessly. We started catching up on Jean, who went to California for a whole week. We talked about the upcoming prom and when we could all go shopping for dresses. Once we finished eating the bell rang and we all went back to classes. Jean, Breanna and I had the next class together so we walk there together.

Our next class was right around the corner from the cafeteria. We sat in our usual seats at the back when the person who came in caught my eyes.
