The Nerd

Without Me

I swallow the lump in my throat and tilt my chin up as we walk to the back of the building.

The boys stand in front of me, blocking me from being seen as Declan and Clayton stand in front of their gang.

I kick a loose rock with my boots as we wait for Patricia and her gang to appear.

I snap my head up as I hear the shuffle of feet and whispers.

"Clayton, Declan, how nice to see you." Patricia says.

Declan grunts and Clayton nods.

"Patricia, you've failed to listen to our advice." Clayton says.

"I would say it was more of a demand." Patricia remarks.

"Your suppose to follow a demand, which you failed to do." Declan says, crossing his arms.

Patricia study's him, "Well you see Declan, I'm my own person I'll decide what I do."

"Or we could decide for you." Clayton says.

The boys step to the side revealing me.

I look up and meet eyes with Patricia, her smirk fades and she stares at me with confusion and a slight twang of anger.

I slowly walk up to stand a few feet in front of her gang as her male members also look confused.

"It's finally the Patricia I've heard so much about." I say.

Patricia regains her composure and flicks her eyes over to Declan and Clayton, "So I'm talked about?" She ask, sarcastically.

"Don't get to excited, trust me it's not good things." I say.

She looks over at me and glares.

"Who even are you?"

"Why should you know?"

"Because I've been rivals with these boys for quite awhile and then a skinny dark haired bitch like you shows up smart talking me."

"Maybe they got tired of putting up with a petty bitch like you, and brought someone in who will actually hit back." I retort.

Patricia crosses her arms and narrows her eyes, "Well I'm glad I finally actually have a challenge."

"It's not a challenge if one wins right away." I say.

"I guess we know who's obviously gonna win." She says, referring to herself as she eyes me.

"I guess we do." I retort.

She looks me over once more and let's her arms fall to her sides, "Well I guess that's a challenge then. Nice seeing you boys again." Patricia says, as she turns and walks away with her gang.

I sigh in aggravation and turn walking back to the car as everyone else follows.

"I saw that going a different direction but, I guess that worked to." Clayton remarks as we get in the car.

"She a real witch." I say.

"Don't you mean bitch." Declan says, as the car starts.

"That could've been done more professionally." Clayton says, driving onto the road.

"How can you be professionally with that?" I ask, angrily.

"By not declaring war, straight forward."

I raise my eyebrows, "I'm sorry, I thought that's what we where doing? I just cut to the chase." I say, sarcastically.

"Well we didn't need to cut right to the chase Samantha."
