I was afraid. I stammered, "A confession? What do you mean by that?"

"I mean that I have to tell you a secret about me now." he answered.

"No you don't," I replied. "Just because I was honest and told you how I feel doesn't mean anything. You're going to probably ignore me now. I know how guys like you are."

"Emmy, I would never do that to you."

"You wouldn't?"

"Anyone would want their girlfriend to be a smartass like you. When I first heard it I was hella happy to know my best friend likes me."

"But you forgot something." I started.

"Which is?"

"You don't like me in that way."

"Are you serious?" He was laughing now.

"What?" I asked, my cheeks turning red.

"I don't like you," he started, "I love you."

"He don't love you, Emilia." Mark, his older brother, jumped in. "He cherishes you. When we get home he's always like, 'Oh, Emmy, how beautiful she is.' 'Emmy, the smartass, I love her. Will she ever love a jock like me?'"

"Mark..."

"Aww, Thomas." I laughed. "Of course I love you. You're my first crush."

"Oh, haha, I feel special."

I just laughed. "I'll see you at school tomorrow, or I'll just text you later. Oh, and was that your confession, that you love me?"

"Yeah, of course. I'll wait for you, Emmy. Are we like official or something?"

"If you want to be."

"We're official."

He went down to give me a kiss. His soft lips on mine felt like heaven came down to earth. That was the best kiss ever, considering it was my first. As a nerd everyone thinks I'm some ugly freak when I don't even wear glasses. I hate when they call me a nerd. I prefer the term, more intelligent than you.

"I'll text you later, Emmy."

"Okay, bye."

As I went on the bus, Kylie Marcus, saw the whole thing. She shouted at me in the school bus.

"Hey, freak!" she yelled.

"What do you want now, Kylie?" I asked.

"You paid Thomas to kiss you, didn't you?"

"My mom never gives me any money. And why would I want to bring money when people like you are around here?"

"Oh, honey, you must be referring to yourself."

"Take a look in a mirror, I'm pretty sure you're just talking to yourself."

"Ooo..." everyone around me said.

"What you gonna say now, huh, Kylie?" Mark asked. "Can you feel the burn now?"

"Shut up, Mark. You don't know what I'm capable of doing. Especially you, you freak."

"What? Would your principal daddy suspend me? I'm the best student in the school, without me you wouldn't have any trophies. I'm the cheer to cheerleading and the East in East Bay Academy." I said.

"She has a good point." Thomas said.

"Why you little-" Kylie started.

"Now you wouldn't want any wrinkles on your perfect little face." I interrupted her.

"You are so irritating."

"Thanks," I said and got off the bus with everyone staring at me while getting off. Just wait until people hear about this new comeback gossip on how a nerd took a popular girl down. Everyone would say how the Kylie Marcus got trash-talked by 'the freak'. I just smiled to myself while walking the few blocks home. They would finally see what I'm capable of, I thought to myself.
