The Nerd I Loved (Block B Taeil)

Chapter 10

"Please?"

"No. Stop bothering me."

"Okay," was all I got a response, and nothing was said after that. I felt a little disappointed, why did he quit insisting so fast? I know he was just doing what I told him, but I .. kinda like the insisting..

Right at the 'perfect' time, the Sarah girl walked in and sat next to Taeil once again.

"Good morning class! Today we have an assignment and you'll be working in partners. This time, I'll let you choose," the teacher happily announced and the class cheered.

"Get with your partners," she demanded, passing out the assignments. I saw Sarah walk up to Taeil but I immediately turned around and slammed my hand on his desk, causing him to jump.

"He's my partner,"'I hissed at Sarah, her eyes widening in fear and surprise. I gave her my,'go away before I kill you' glare and she left.

"Woah, so defensive," Taeil commented with a smirk. I realized what I had just done, ugh, I hate my instincts.

"I just wanted you to be my partner because you're the only person I know in this class," I lied.

"I thought to were popular.." Taeil said, raising an eyebrow.

"Just because they know me doesn't mean I know them," I defended. He chuckled.

"Whatever you say. Let's start," he said.

After a while of working, Taeil asked me a question I wish he would've never asked.

"CL?"

"Hm?" I said, reading the question on the assignment.

"Are you .. jealous of Sarah?" He asked curiously. My heart pounded and I looked up at him in shock. Oh no he didn't ..

"Me? Why would I be jealous?" I said nervously.

"Well, you gave her your famous, 'go away' glare that I would always Get from you and I can sense some tension between you two," Taeil replied. I scoffed.

"Just because I don't like her doesn't mean I'm jealous," I spat. He chuckled.

"Are you sure?"

"Why would I be jealous of her?! I'm way better than her," I hissed automatically, then I noticed what I had said. Chaerin, that was rude. Shame on me. I cleared my throat and attempted to correct myself, just in case Taeil didn't like my statement.

"Um, I didn't mean to say that .." I added.

"No one's better than another person, we're all equal," Taeil responded. I looked down at the floor in shame, feeling guilty of my words.

"And we all make mistakes, so I'm sure you didn't mean to say that. You just got a little upset over my question," he said, patting my head. I slapped it off my head and he laughed, and I just had to laugh to.

"I'll try not to talk much to Sarah so you won't get jealous, okay?" He said. I looked at him in shock. Did he just say that?

"We're not even dating and I'm not jealous! You can go fuck her for as long as I care," I spat. Then I covered my mouth, not believing what I had said. A couple of kids near us turned our way, wondering what was going on.

"Watch. Your. Mouth, princess," Taeil said, tapping my nose. That made my heart flutter so bad, oh gosh.

"It spilled out, but the thing is, I'm not jealous!" I argued. He laughed and came closer to me.

"I love it when you're mad," he whispered in my ear. I gave him a glare and he only winked, going back to work. I did my best to stop the adrenaline going through my body, trying to convince myself that I'm not jealous and I don't like him.
