His Nerd

Chapter Thirty-Three

Hey guys!(: I hope you guys like this chapter! Let me know what you guys think :) 

---------------------

I was putting my books in my bookbag when I suddenly feel large hands cover my eyes 

"Guess who" he whispers in my ear 

"Oh my God Henry Cavill is that you?!" I fake enthusiasm 

He removes his hands from my eyes as I turn around smirking at Mason

"Ha ha ha so funny" he mocked annoyance towards me while I simply chuckled

"What's up?" I ask as I pick up my bookbag and adjust it on my shoulders

"Nothing just wanted to say hi," he said slouching his shoulder up and down nonchalantly 

"Hey," I said smiling at him

"WOOHOOOOO YO" 

Both Mason and I turn our heads to see Taylor waving at us excitedly from across the halls quickly dashing her way towards us

"What's crackalackin?" she asked as she leaned her forearm on my other shoulder looking at both of us eagerly 

"Crackalackin?" Mason asked raising his right eyebrow at her amused by Taylor's choice of words

Taylor lets out a dramatic sigh before straightening herself up

"My sincerest apologies to you good sir. How are you mate? Fancy a cuppa?" She asked faking a British accent causing both Mason and I to erupt in laughter

"Mason, may I take your precious Angela for just a few minutes? Yes? Thanks!" She said before dragging me towards the exit of the school

"What's up Tay?" 

"My sweet sweet Angela," she said sickeningly sweet, "WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH YOU DUMBFUCK?!" she screamed looking at me as if I was insane

I crease my eyebrows together looking at her confused

"Um.. I love you too?"

She gives me a deadpan look before opening the passenger's seat to my car and hopping in

I walk towards the driver's seat and turn to her to see her glaring at me

"What?" I ask staring at her weirdly

"Why are you with Mason?!" She asked aggravated

My eyes widen in astonishment 

"What do you mean?" I asked meekly looking down to my gray sweatshirt

"Oh nonono did I say you could look away from me? NOPE" 

I roll my eyes looking back at her 

"We both know you don't like him"

"What? I d-"

I get cut off by her 'don't even start with me' look causing me to let out a sigh

"Listen, Mason's a nice guy. And...I felt bad.."

"Angela..you can't just date a guy just because you feel 'bad'. I know Mason's a nice guy but I also know he has no effect on you whatsoever" she said matter of factly

"I know...I just..I felt like I was hurting him and I could possibly learn to like him that way" I reasoned slightly flinching at my own words 

"Angela...that's now how this works," she said putting her hair in a ponytail

"I know" I whine as I hit my head on the steering wheel before I rub my forehead frowning

shit..that hurt

"So what are you going to do?" Angela asked curiosity clearly laced on her voice

"Okay listen, I'll give it a week. If I start progressing feelings great..if I don't, I'll end it" I said determined

Taylor looks at me cautiously before nodding her head reluctantly 

"Okay!" she said clapping her hands together, "so where we headed?" she asked excitedly

--------------------------

"Remind me why you want to go to the cafe again?" I asked Taylor as I turn on my signal and head left

"Becauseee" Taylor drags as she continues texting on her phone, "we haven't seen Ben in ages. He was nice"

My ears perk up as did my eyes

"Ben was nice aye?" I asked grinning wide  

"Oh stop" she retorted rolling her eyes but it didn't stop my smile growing wider

we pull up to the cafe and park with Taylor practically jumping out of the car as I kept teasing her about Ben 

"Damn Taylor you that excited to see Ben?!" I scream out of the window laughing as Taylor grunts loudly stomping towards the door 

---------------------

I walked in the cafe to immediately see Taylor and Ben talking causing my lips to quirk up and my right eyebrow to slightly rise

Taylor was leaning across the counter while Ben was smiling nervously readjusting and cleaning his glasses from time to time 

"Hey Ben" I greet

Ben's gaze turns to me and his smile returns to his face as I make my way towards him

"Where have you been?" He asked me after giving me a side hug

I see Taylor from my peripheral vision slightly frown at Ben hugging me causing me to bite the bottom of my lip to hold in my laughter

My best friend hasss a crushhhh 

my best friend hass a crushhh

"I've been slightly busy, I'm sorry" I respond apologetically feeling a tinge of guilt for not coming and seeing him and John

Ben faked a glare at me before his smile returns back to his face

"I'm just glad you're back" 

I smiled at his words 

"You got Taylor to thank for that" I smirked slightly staring at both of them mischievously

"Really?" Ben asked looking genuinely curious and intrigued looking between Taylor and me causing me to feel all excited

Oh, ya'll already know...

It's matchmaking time

I nod my head at him grinning widely as I see Taylor's eyes widen a fraction as she remains frozen in place

"Oh yeah, she was so excited to come here for..." I paused looking between him and her with Taylor giving me death glares the could've possibly sent shivers down my spine if I wasn't having so much fun with this "many reasons" I finished smirking

Ben's gaze turns to Taylor as his neck and face turns a deep shade of red while he smiles nervously at her

My smirk turns to a smile as Taylor masks the same facial expressions

"Hey, I have to answer this text, I'll be over there," I said faking an excuse to leave them alone

I giggly make my way towards my usual seat relaxing as I scroll through my phone when I get a message from Mason

hi darling, are you free to hang out?

I look ahead of me seeing Ben and Taylor engrossed in conversation making me smile all over again before I respond, 

yes, I'm at the cafe. SOS. Third wheeling hard
