Nerd To Jock: a nerd's glow up story

Chapter 22: First Date

"This movie was so boring," Justin told me as we went out of the theater.

"I told you it would be boring but you insisted," I argued.

"Well how did you know it is?" He asked.

"I mean nerds know everything," I joked.

"Yeah, you're right," he said.

"So umm, do you want to continue the date somewhere else?" I asked.

"It's getting late and we have school," he replied.

"Who cares about school?"

"Umm no one."

"Then shut up and follow me," I ordered as we went out of the building.

"Where are you taking us Mr. Harrington?" Justin asked.

"Maybe... To my car?" I replied sarcastically as I opened the door.

"And then?" He asked as he stood in front of the car.

"And then you should shut up and get in," I said as I sat in the driver's seat and started the engine. He got in the car and I drove out of the parking. I drove to somewhere else, somewhere far, where no one can find us. Not really it wasn't that far.

We got to the top of valley. A bit higher than the View Park. The park had a good view, but the higher you go the better view you get. I stopped the car on an empty land. This was grandpa's land, he bought it last summer, two weeks before he passed. He wanted to build a house and move to here, but the dreams he built were taken down by a sudden heart attack. The doctors didn't find any explanations so dad just gave up to the path God has drawn.

"How did you find that place?" Justin asked as he went out of the car.

"I just did," I said as I got out an walked a bit more to the edge. I walked a bit and then went to the trunk of the car. Justin admired the view. I brought an old bed cover and put it on the floor. I lied down and started to watch the stars. Justin came and lied down next to me.

"I like the stars," he told me.

"Do you ever wonder how stars are like humans?" I asked.

"What do you mean?"

"I mean, the stars are shining, waiting for the a second star to complete them. The same way a person tries to shine in our community, and one day they meets their other half, and even if they failed out there, they see each other shining. Pretty confusing, huh?"

"The power of love. No one has ever found a definition for love, it's as simple as one plus one equal two. But actually one plus one was never two, there isn't even anything called one, humans just made things less complicated and more understandable, to figure out what happens around them." What he just said, was amazing. I felt jealous for a moment.

"Woah, Justin I thought I was the mister-knows-everything here," I joked trying to not go deeper in our conversation.

"So this equation is like the word love, they both are so powerful, and people overuse them, and they often get it wrong," he continued, "but I'm sure that when I tell you I love you, I'm not even 0.01% wrong." I stood up in amaze. Is that really Justin? He pulled me down what caused me to sit. He then leaned closer and kissed me. I kissed him back. I loved it, the feeling of his lips pressed against mine. But something had to ruin everything. Both our phones rang at the same time.

"Ugh, why couldn't we have with a good kiss without any interruption?" He asked loudly and annoyed.

"We're getting punished for what we did last night," I joked as I took my phone out of my pocket.

Daniel added you to My hoes.

Daniel: have y'all seen the updates on twitter?

Me: what updates??

Justin: what are they about?

Daniel: just see them

Me: can anyone explain, I am not understanding anything

Daniel: Justin will

"Justin tell me what's going on?" I asked.

"There is this unofficial page for our school on twitter," he explained as he tapped quickly on his phone, "they post updates about the popular squad and stuff."

"And I guess some paparazzi found us and we're now exposed," I supposed.

"No," he said before opening his mouth in shock.

"What is it?" I asked as I threw my hands on his phone and took it.

"Becca Davis confirmed that her now ex-boyfriend Martin Crimsen had tried to sexually assault her earlier today, and so she broke up with him after beating his ass up," I read out loud and burst out into laughing. "What led her best friend Phoebe Worthington broke up with Edgard Ross as he tried to defend his best friend Martin." I turned to Justin. "Wouldn't this affect Jessica and Daniel's relationship?"

"Keep this a secret, but Jessica and Daniel were never together, people believe they're dating, but Jessica is just a loyal childhood friend of Daniel's," he explained.

"But you said that she wasn't happy with Daniel back at the party," I argued.

"She wanted to help Phoebe and Becca to break up with the others and so she convinced me to tell you this as an excuse to let her in."

"I'm happy to help Phoebe, but Becca is kind of a slut so I would care less."

"What?"

"Just imagine going to a first date with your crush when you get there you find out she was already with your best friend." I said.

"What?" He asked surprise in his eyes.

"And then they just apologize and you only have one friend so you could do nothing but forgive and act like you're okay with their relation for more than a year," tears wanted to come out. But they didn't. I got over it, but that's still a scar, one that hurt if you press on it.

"Aw, sorry for that," he said as he hugged me, "forget it, you have me now and I love you more than a thousand Becca will ever."

"No doubts," I said as I hugged him back. "We need to go back home."

"Yes we have school tomorrow," we both stood up, I brought the cover and threw it on the backseat then got in the car and started driving back home.

A/N: here's a chapter about the emotional Justin. And yes I skipped half of the date which was the movie because it was going to be pretty boring and cliché. And I wanted their first date to be in the movies so I can skip it and write this scene. I know what I'm doing even if I keep changing the storyline.

Update: Woah, I just found out that we're close to 300. Oh my God yesterday it was only 210. Eek I'm so happy.
