《Newtmas Oneshots》

Nerd: Part 1

"Uh, sure. Why not."

"Great! Want to come over to my house today at around five?"

"T-today? We just met, Dylan."

"Yeah, and so we'll get to know each other. I'll see you at five!"

He started jogging to his house before I could object. I sighed and went into my house. I went up to my room and dropped my bag on the floor. I sat down on my bed and rubbed my eyes. I grabbed my phone and glanced at the time. It was four, so I had an hour to mentally prepare myself for Dylan's.

Before I knew it, it was almost five. I grabbed my black converse, stuffed my phone in my pocket, and headed out the door. I was only a few houses away when I heard my name being called. I turned around and my eyes widened in fear. It was Will, one of my bullies in school, and his gang of henchmen.

"Hey nerd!" He called out. "Where you going?"

I didn't answer, I just started running to Dylan's house. I heard them gaining on me. I was pretty slow because I had a bad leg from an accident I had when I was younger. They had almost caught up to me when I made it to the house. I banged on the door and yelled for Dylan to let me in, but I was yanked back by someone grabbing the good on my jacket and yanking me back. I fell on the ground with a thud and winced as my hands and face got a bit scraped on the sidewalk. Will pulled me up by my collar and brought his face close to mine.

"You know better than to run, loser." He sneered. He pulled his fist back and I closed my eyes, waiting for the pain to come.

"Hey! What the hell do you think you're doing?"

I opened my eyes to see a pissed off Dylan glaring at Will.

"Dylan? Why was this nerd coming to your house?"

"Because I invited him, you dick. Now let him go." He growled.

"So you're making friends with the nerd now. That's lame," He threw me to the ground and wiped his hands on his jeans. "Let's get out of here."

Dylan came to my side and helped me up. He brought me inside and pulled me into his room, holding my hand all the way. He pulled out a first aid kit and took out some cleaning supplies. He brought a towel to my face and started to clean the cut I had.

"I didn't know you knew first aid."

"Well, if you do as many sports as I did, you learned a thing or two."

"Cool."

We sat there in silence, him treating my scrapes. When he was done, he put the kit away and sat next to me.

"So why did those guys try to beat you up? Is it just because you're not popular?" Dylan asked.

"No. It's a long story."

Dylan glanced at his clock, "There's time."

I sighed and nodded. "Will is my ex-boyfriend."

"What?" Dylan said in disbelief.

"I know. Believe it or not, he used to be a nice guy. We would hold hands, and he would call me cute all the time. That is until he started hanging out with the jerks at school. Then he changed. We never spoke amymore, and when we did, it was arguing. I couldn't stand it, so I broke up with him. He tried apologizing and telling me that he loved me, but I refused."

"I see." Dylan responded quietly.

"So then after a few months, he got over me, found a girlfriend, and became a bully to me."

"That's why you didn't like me calling you cute. It reminded you of him."

I nodded and brought my knees up to my chest.

"Well, I promise that I won't be like him."

I looked at Dylan. "What do you mean?"

"I think I like you, Thomas. Like, a lot."

I blushed and hid my face in my knees. I felt him scoot closer to me and cautiously out his arm around my shoulder. I looked up and smiled. I leaned my head on his shoulder and closed my eyes, happy.
