Not A Nerd

Chapter 3

I'm getting cranky because I haven't had lunch and I only have 45 minutes left.

I walked into an empty field and called Vander.

After three rings he picked up the phone.

"Hey Little one!" He said in a cheerful voice.

"Took you long enough" I can't stop the irritable tone.

"Woah! Has Little one been having a bad day?"

"Worst day ever! Vandy! I haven't had lunch!" I whined. I only use Vandy when I need something from him.

"I'll be there in ten." He said before hanging up. Sat down on the grass lazily. There's another parking lot here at the back beside this field so I texted Vander to meet me here.

I waited for him, counting the minutes that had gone.

"3...2...1!" I counted down, with that I heard and enging come to a stop. I quickly stood up and ran towards Vander. He had a bag of takeout on one hand and a drink on the other.

I lunged for a hug, a hug that he was expecting and a hug that the takeout got.

"Thank you! Thank you so much!" I said, kissing the bag of takeout.

"You're always welcome, little one." He winked at me and took a sip from his drink.

I wanted to tell him that I was thanking the food but whatever, I'm too hungry to correct him.

I ran back to where I was sitting a while ago and started taking out the stuff inside the bag.

Lobster Frittata and truffles! My favorites!

I munched down the food  Vander sat beside me and took a napkin and wiped my face. I didn't bother looking at him as I was too busy smiling while eating my scrumptious meal.

Since it was hard eating when I have retainers on, I removed them and wrapped it with tissue. "Hehe!" I smiled at him as I continued eating my food.

After finishing my meal, I burped out loud and placed my thumb in front of Vander to tell him that I am full.

"Still the food monster, are we?" He chuckled lightly while I rubbed my neck. I stood up and lifted my shirt but stopped lifting it once it reached the bottom of my bra. I caressed my tummy, showing how big it is to him.

"How can you eat this much and not weigh a pound?" He asked and I chuckled lightly.

"You too! You don't fain a pound even when you ate 5 boxes of pizza!" I said in an accusing tone.

"Correction, I ate a slice, you ate the whole damn thing." I pouted and looked away shyly because he was right, I did eat the rest.

"Well then little one, I'll be going. Have I fulfilled the little Princess' wish?" He said and bowed like a servant.

"Yes, servant, you have indeed." I said teasingly. He walked up to me and kissed my forehead.

"Bue little one." He said and kissed my temple. I waved goodbye at him as he picked up my stuff and went back to his car.

"Bye Thanos!" I teased him. Because you know, Thanos calls Gamora Little One just like Vander calls me Little One.

I searched for my retainers and struggled putting it back on. When I felt a click, I knew that it was in place.

There was a weird feeling of someone watching me so I turned around. I also heard rustling from afar. I narrowed my eyes at the back of the bleachers.

Slowly, I walked to the direction of the rustling. I was about to look but suddenly,the bell rang signalling the end of lunch break.

////

The rest of the afternoon flew by in a blur. I am currently sitting at a bench in front of the parking lot. Most of the students have gone home while I am waiting for Vander.

That's when my phone rang.

"Hello"

"Savy honey, I can't find you, where are you?" It was my dad. He normally talks in an intimidating voice but when he talks to me he's like a whole new person. Let's just say that he has a really soft spot for me.

"Oh hey dad, I'm in front of the parking lot sitting on the bench."

"Ok sweedums wait for me."

"Bye dad!" I said and dropped the call. I heard a car honking and I saw dad's heavily tinted black limousine from afar. By afar I mean 10 meters away from me.

I looked around to check if anyone was watching me. When I saw that the coast was clear, I discreetly walked towards the car.

I opened it and dad was sitting there in his usual suit. He looks nothing like his age. Some people even mistake him as my brother.

He has blonde hair which I got from him. He even has a mole but its hidden. You will inly see it when he blinks.

"Hey dad!" I said and plopped down on my seat. He pulled me close and kissed my temple.

I staryed removing my retainers, wig and glasses. Dad started laughing at me but I just playfully glared at him.

"Where to, madam?" He asked me and bowed a little. I giggled lightly.

"To the ice cream parlor!" I shouted and pointed up ahead.

"You heard the young lady." He said to the driver which nodded back and started driving off.

Dad gave me a bag, containing my clothes. Using the cloth that was hanging from each sides of the car, I covered myself away from dad and his driver. I wore a baby blue bralette halter top which highlights my boobs and exposes my stomach tattooed with a mouth that has flowers inside. A different story for a different time. A black miniskirt and my goth buckle high top boots.

"I forgot to tell you, can I check The Uproar?" I asked, my voice filled with hope. The Uproar is an underground fighting arena. Underground fighting is illegal and I am already used to it because I have been fighting for almost 5 years now and I am only 18.

I was the undefeated champion back in my old town--Rosenfield. But I passed the title to my trusted reaper, Vander.

That's another reason why Vander and I can't be a thing. Mafia Reapers and Mafia royalties shouldn't be together. See, mafia reapers kill the people that the mafia wants them to kill but in a clean way. Vander is my reaper, meaning he can and will kill a person in just a word from me.

We were trained together and was taught that a reaper must not let his feelings hinder him from killing someone. So far he has killed countless of people under dad's command and none from my command. I used to come with Vander when he had missions but I stopped when dad found out.

I removed the cloth and grabbed my leather jacket. "Ok, honey but bring Vander with you." I gave him a toothy grin as he ruffled my hair.

The car came to a halt in front of Cream and Milk, an ice cream parlor situated in the town next to us.

"Yay!" I jumped out of the car with joy and ran towards the entrance. Dad followed behind me.

"What do you want, honey?" He asked me as I chose between all of the choices.

"A scoop of everything!" I grinned at the cashier guy. He looked at me and smirked.

"How 'bout it being on the house but you have to give me your number." He said and winked at me. Dad was about to dash and kill him but I stopped him.

"Ok!" I smiled. He scooped up everything and put it in a to go container.

I smirked and slid a paper to him before going out.

I laughed when we reached the car. Dad asked why I was laughing. I told him that the number I gave the guy was Vander's. I can destroy a friendship just for food.

And I will always do anything for ice cream.
