The Nerd and the Bad Boy

Chapter 16

My bruises got to the worst point. It was extremely hard to touch them and they got to the black and blue color.

Great.

I roll out of bed and throw on leggings and a big sweatshirt. I'm not wearing a sweater with my huge bruise on my stomach.

I don't bother taking a shower since I took one last night.

I brush my teeth, put my retainer in and put my hair in 2 side braids. I slipped my converse on and walked out the door.

I got to school and of course everyone is calling me 'Rat Face' way to start another nickname for me Jason.

To think he actually wanted to be my friend.

"Alex are you ok?" I hear Jason ask.

I turned around and his eyes went wide.

"What the fuck?! What happened?!" he asked.

"I told you, you can't call me Alex it's Alexandria to you" I spit.

"What did I do?" he asked.

"Babe stop talking to Rat Face" Lindsey sneered.

"She doesn't have a rat face" he growled.

"That's not what you said the other night" she laughed.

Jason turned towards me with a questioning look.

"Your girlfriend is waiting for you. But thank you for having everyone call me rat face" I whispered.

I walked away and wiped the tears that were about to fall down my cheek.

*after school*

As I walk home Jason jogs over to me.

"Please Alex can you talk to me" he begged.

"Fine let's talk. Let's talk about how the fact you ditched me during the party and I find you drunk out of your mind and making out with Lindsey. Let's also point out how you promised me that you would bring me home when I want to but called me a 'Rat Face' laughed about it and had sex with Lindsey. Now why don't you go back to the friends who are now watching this all go down. I've done just fine having no friends for 2 years I don't need you now. So please just ignore me" I said.

"I'm sorry I didn't know what I-"

"Stop!" I snapped. "I'm leaving, I have work goodbye."

I walked away leaving him standing there and he walked back to his friends. I jogged off going to my first job of the day.

Once work ended I walk inside my house and Jason was standing there with a converse box in his hands.

"Why are you here? Get out" I groaned.

"Look, I was drunk I didn't know what I was doing. I truly didn't mean to say that about you and I think you are incredibly beautiful. Also I bought you new shoes" he smiled.

"I'm not excepting those" I sighed.

"But yours are-"

"I'm not excepting those. I will buy new shoes and glasses by myself" I mumbled.

"But am I forgiven?" he asked.

He gave me a puppy dog face and I sighed.

"Fine" I laughed.

Another thing you didn't know about me, I forgive easily. I'll be mad at you for a day or 2 but I won't stay mad at you forever. Unless it's a thing that's unforgivable then tough cookies for you.

He pulled me into a hug but it hurt my stomach so I winced.

"Sorry" he said.

"It's fine" I shrugged.

"So since its 11:15 what do you want to do?" he asked.

"Sleep" I giggled.

"Ok fair enough" he laughed.

I went upstairs and changed into sweats and baggy sweatshirt. I put my retainer in it's case and brushed my teeth/flossed.

I walked downstairs and he was changed into basketball shorts and a football sweatshirt.

"You can take my bed this time" I offered.

"Nah I'm fine on the couch" he shrugged.

I nodded and sat on the couch and wrapped a blanket around myself.

"Want to watch Tv for a little?" I asked.

He nodded and I turned on the Tv.

"Look. Alex I'm really sorry for calling you that name. I honestly didn't know what I was saying. I didn't even want to touch Lindsey she is gross" he said.

"It's ok" I shrugged.

"Wait so what happened with you and Sophia?" he asked.

"Her mom just let her dress the way she wanted. Pretty much like a skank. But she thought she was too cool for me so she went to Lindsey the most popular girl in school" I sighed.

"Why didn't you change with her?" he asked.

"There was no point of changing to be liked. If I'm not liked for being myself then oh well. I'm not changing so people will like me. I mean ever since she left me it's just been me and my mom, so I'm all by myself now. I'm used to it" I said.

"Well it can be me and you now" he smiled.

"Why though? Your reputation is on the line" I mumbled.

"We are just a bunch of nobodies out of school. I don't care" he shrugged.

I nodded and shivered since we have no heat in the house. We sat down watching Spongebob and I laid my head on his shoulder. He didn't seem to mind so that was good.

*Jason's pov*

I looked over and she was asleep on me, I smiled a little bit and kissed her forehead. I'm glad she forgave me for apparently calling her a name.

I must have been really drunk cause I still have no idea exactly what happened but I'm just glad she is talking to me.

I went to go pick her up but she moved so she wrapped herself around my arm.

I laughed a little bit and I laid down slowly on the couch and covered myself up in a blanket.

I smiled down at Alex again but then fell asleep.
