Life of a nerd

Chapter four

"Thanks for everything," Axel. I said as we both walked together.Sofie had gone home because of some family issues.

"You are welcome, hermosa," he said.

"Why hermosa?" I asked with curiosity

"Because you are beautiful."He said sincerely.

My cheeks were hot as he said those words.It has been long since a guy complimented me.

"I have something to tell you," I said, changing the subject.

"What's it?" he asked

"I would be moving to America...soon."

"How soon?"

"Next tomorrow," I said slowly.

He was silent for a moment as if contemplating to say something.

Hermosa..., he said, trailing off

Yes, I asked him

Are we going to see each other again he asked

I don't know, but if it's fate, we will see each other... maybe in the future.

Ok, he hugged me before planting a kiss on my left cheek.

Don't forget me, hermosa!

I promise Axel...I looked at the time and gasped,ten minutes after eight!Mama gonna kill me or maybe even Abuela,i gulped as i imagined her holding her trusty spatula.

"I need to go home, Axel."

"I can take you on my delivery bike."Axel suggests entering his bike

"Thank you," I said before hopping in his bike, and we zoomed off.

"Bye Axel,"I whispered.

"Till then hermosa," he said, hugging me briefly,before entering his bike and zooming off.

..............................

I sneaked into the living room that was turned off, attempting not to make a noise. I successfully left the living room and avoided mom and abuela room. I already unlocked my room door, but I noticed that my light was off.I was about turning on the lights when someone beat me to it.

You are late!

Oh my gawd !My heart skipped multiple times.I really hope it is not my mom or abuela because I would be in so much trouble.I turned around just to see Abuela! My worst fears have been confirmed.

Abuela!... You are awake.

"Why are you late, child."Abuela asked.

"Uhm...I...

"You better start forming words in your mouth before I hit you with this spatula."She said, waving it in her hand.

"I'm sorry, Abuela. "...I lost track of time.

"I will let it slide... Don't let it happen again."She warned.

"Yes, grandma! I said in relief.Good thing she's in a good mood.

'By the way...who was that boy that dropped you off."

"Is Axel abuela"...

"Your crush? Abuela said curiously.

"No abuela....why does everyone keep on saying that. I complained

Ok..

I believe you, child.Abula said, winking before leaving the room.

I stared at grandma dumbfounded as she left the room.What the heck!

Later that night

I set up the camera,not to livestream anyway as I only have five views in the last video that I did(maybe I will post this one that I am about to do)but first I need to very quiet because I do not want Abuela to come back again with her spatula,I quivered at the thought of Abuela hitting me with her spatula.That was her habit.

Uhm...Hey guys is me again...the last time I told you all about myself and how I love my country mexico,...I guess everything will change because we are moving out to another new place...I don't know how I'm feeling to be honest but I guess sometimes we need a change right...That would be all for now.Thanks for listening

I sighed as I turned off my camera,are we really making a mistake of leaving my hometown?What if we don't like it there...or maybe even I?Countless questions kept running in my head that made me uneasy.

The truth is that I really wanted to go to a new place for a fresh start.I was tagged a loser at my former school, and this recent one now is nothing to write home about.

I gently walked to the mirror as I looked at my reflection in the mirror.The mirror doesn't lie. I stared at my braces that I'm still wearing and my eyeglass and sighed.Will I ever be treated differently in my new school, or will I still be the nerd that they looked down at.

My eye problem were detected early when I was four and I was recommended glasses by the doctor who said it would correct my eye sight.I don't wear them all the time...except when I'm going out and as for the braces,I needed them for my teeth to be arranged.

Maxwell...I mean max on the other hand, is the complete opposite of me.He has an arranged set of teeth and his eyes are perfectly working but in all that he is soo annoying but I can tolerate him...for now!

Please let's pretend that his nae was never mentioned.

I went outside the door to take some fresh breeze, and I met my brother sitting down.

"Speaking of the devil,"I muttered before sitting down beside him.

"Having trouble sleeping?," he asked,staring at the stars.

Yeah... I don't know about this max... I said, looking at him.

"About the moving out"?

Yeah...I muttered What of I don't get used to the new place and...

Hey... he said, patting me. "Everything will be alright...as you said change is scary, but eventually, we would get over it."he calmly said.

"Are you sure you're alright... because you are making sense right now," I said, attempting to touch his head.

"Stop it!" He said, slapping my hand off.

"I was just joking."I said playfully.

I know...at least I'm also smart

"So you admit that I'm also smart." I said, teasing him.

"No dummy,just stating fact." he said, scoffing.

"So you admit...

I'm going inside he said, attempting to stand up, but I held him."I won't talk again."

"Better! he said before sitting down

We sat there in complete silence as we stared at the stars in awe.

"You are still bothered about it...aren't you? my brother asked, looking at me.

Maybe... but it's not like that, I said. By the way,thanks for tonight I said, hugging him.

Not a hugger,he said indiscomfort.

Better be used to it. I scoffed before leaving him.
