The Nerd's Secret

Chapter 4

"I have a card that doesn't run out of money," His eyebrows raise up and disappears into his hair.

"You're rich?" He looks shocked and I laugh at him.

"Of course I am what'd you think, that I was poor?" He shrugs sheepishly and replies.

"It's just because you never dressed like you were rich so..." Now I get it, I used to always dress like I didn't have money but in reality I was probably the richest person in that school.

I walk around the store and Troy chooses what he wants and I get matching of what he chooses.

I have perfume and makeup at home so I won't have to buy any of that for us. He takes us to McDonald's and asks me what I want.

"I'll take three double cheeseburgers, a large fry and a large Dr pepper," He looks at me with wide eyes before repeating my order and then doing his.

"Oh! And the number four please," I bat my eyelashes at him and he freezes.

"O-of course," I laugh quietly at his reaction before opening my phone and answering my moms text asking where I am. I reply and she texts back almost instantly.

'Have fun :)'

I roll my eyes at the message and out my phone away. We drive up to the next window and they pass us our food. I am starving, I haven't eaten since breakfast and my loud stomach shows it.

"Are you sure you're gonna finish that?" I raise an eyebrow at him before finishing my first burger while his eyes bulge out of his head.

"Wow you're fast, most girls I know eat small salads or a small fry but you? You're amazing," I laugh and finish my second burger while his eyes grow bigger. I chew my food before replying.

"I am not most girls, I do not smother my face in makeup and I do not wear slutty clothes to school while sleeping with all of the guys in the school, so get this in your head Vega, I am not most girls," And it's true I'm not, I am one of a kind.

"I know you're not, you're amazing and pretty without makeup," He freezes as if finally noticing what he said. He rubs the back of his neck nervously and I only laugh at him.

"Why thank you kind sir," I do a small bow because we're in a vehicle. He laughs and I stuff my face with fries and take a drink of my soda.

He ordered two burgers and some fries with a Pepsi as a drink.

"Ugh you like Pepsi?" He laughs and nods his head.

"I love it, and man you are fat," I look down at my finished burgers and look at him.

"I'm not done yet," I finish my fries and he shakes his head at me.

"Can I stay at your house tonight? I don't want my father to see me like this because he'll never look at me the same again," His eyes plead at me and I sigh loudly.

"Fine, but we work on that sign too," He nods his head and we drive to my place. I throw my bag in the living room and walk to the fridge.

"Again?! Good lord you eat more than me," I laugh and grab some stuff for wings because my parents are on a business trip together and I don't want to bother the cook.

"Hey, I am a growing woman, I need my food," He chuckles and helps me set them in the pot of grease. Tonight is going to be fun.

"Have you told your parents where you are?" He nods his head and asks for the bathroom.

"Up the stairs first door on your right."

Troy POV

"Up the stairs first door on your right," I hurry up the stairs and call my dad telling him I'm at a friends house for night.
