Dating the Gangster Nerd

Chapter Four

It’s true that I have a boyfriend. His name is Mitch Solomon. A grade 10 students. He is a guy that everyone wants. He is the guy that every women everyone loved to be with.

The thing I like about him was his cool in everything. It's like if I'm going to be with him, I woud be happy or forget the reality where I'd been stuck. One thing that I don't like about him, is the way he wants me to control. Sometimes he would do crazy thing that you'll never expect.

We are still young, and the way he gets jealous of Vanessa is very turning me off. You don't get jealous with their bestfriend, the bestfriend who came before you. It didn't matter who came first or who came last, but the thought that you're stopping your girlfriend to have fun, to talk to their bestfriend is something doesn't work with me.

And, I'm waiting for him to come back, and so I could break up with him. We were still young, and I think it wouldn't hurt painfully.

He went to Switzerland to take care of his ill father. II want to break up with him before he will fly back to where his family, but I don't want him to face his family with a broken heart and a broken self.

Mitch will be back in September, and glad that he’s not here, then I can enjoy my birthday well. I can party or do the race. I'm always ready to meet him, and be free.

While, he's not here, I'll take this chance to test my feelings for him. I will look myself if I could live or be dad knowing without him but so far, I survived the month without missing him.

I feeling worried about him, and his father but it was really different what love is deep and what love is not as deep.

I'm inside the room. I was watching clips and videos on my. phone. The chair behind moved, but I didn't look at it.

.

“You know the nerd.” Vanessa ay says. I turned my attention at her.

“We know him, why? What about him?" I asked back. "What happened to him?" I asked again. I turn off my phone, and look at her seriously. Every time that I hear his name from Vanessa and other students it’s always a bad news.

“Someone blocked him, and dragged him in the old abandoned establishment near the school-Lemon!" Vanessa yelled, when I stood up.

" I'm saying this because I'm guilty. I saw him, and run. I want to removed this guilt." Vanessa said hysterically." I don't want you to go there. We can call the-"

I cut her off, " Okay... Okay... calm down... "

I nodded at her when she followed. I hold her cheeks.

"You just call the right person. I'll help you removed that guilt. I'm going there, and you'll call my body guard. They are in the Le restaurant."

She stand up, trying to stop me again. She hold my arms,

“I’m going there. We need evidence, alright, okay? and you, call my body guard okay?” I said, and kiss her for head.

I left the school, and it was lunch time, and so I could just leave because it's not class hours. I run so fast to go there. It was four building away from the school.

Maybe, Vanessa think that I’m crazy. This gonna be the second time saving the nerd even I know that I can’t do something to help. From the explanation I’ve heard from him, I guess he won’t fight back.

I catch my breath when I’m outside in the old abandoned establishment. So, I roamed my eyes to the wide first floor, and didn’t found students fighting.

I walk and headed to the second floor, and couldn’t find them. I heard noise of the shoes walking back, and forth above, and then I quickly headed there.

Damn, what time will Vanessa will come here?

I think I just landed correctly. I saw them holding basw bats, and the nerd was just watching them madly. His silent madness can't save him, damn.

“Malvin said that your boy, escorted his girlfriend. They saw it on their own eyes." The boy said, while the two boys were holding him tight.

Dario as usual was looking at them, coldly. Damn, if he’s a leader of the gang, then he can just break their skull, and why he’s acting weakly like this?

"This is childish." The nerd said. He had the gut to say that! Damn, why are you talking back like that! Why damn you talk back, ans not fight back!

My eyes widened in fear when someone hit his head with the baseball bat.

"Childish, my ass." The boy cursed.

My gosh, his skull!

I’ve had some past flings, and boyfriend and I just witnessed a fist fight but this kind of fight, using baseball bat is too much already!

I covered my mouth while my heart wanted to break out from its cage. This is damn so scary. I’m so crazy but I’m already here. I would be more stupid and crazier if I leave here.

He stood up.

I was cheering for him. Go! fight back! I feel like je heard my prayers when he turn both ps his hand, around, and made the boys groan when their hand folded.

Go! That's it!

I saw their leader, step back. Scared! Lol!

The three men went closer while holding the baseball bat. That's where I startled. I quickly hide while picking up my phone in my skirt.

I search the police siren that good for one hour. Without second thoughts, I played it, and made everyone stopped.

“Did you hear it?” A man voice said.

“The police is coming!” Someone yelled.

"No, this is highway, and for sure they were just passing by. And why would the police come here anyway? No one see us!"

I bit my lip, and widened when the siren stopped and the new ad came to the video. The video changed!

Doom! Damn!

My face crumpled while holding my life!

“Someone is bullshiting us!” I heard the man yelled angrily.

I heard their footsteps coming here. I think whatever happens to me, the ad should be blamed by this. It's so epic failed!

I lifted my head, and I saw a two pairs of eyes, smirking at me.

Busted!

I crumpled my face while looking at them like a crushed potato. "He, he... I'm doing my performance task.." I murmured sheepishly. “hehe I-I'm... d-doing acting…role play--"

He cut me off, "This is perfect! Bravo!"We are doing extra-curricular activity! We are open to welcome you to the group!" The other man said, seriously.

It made my whole body froze, very coldly.

He didn’t let me finish. He smirk, and he grab my hand.

“Boss! Someone is really here! Short hair and sexy legs! Sexy fox!" The ugly man yelled.

He’s wearing a different uniform, and I can say that this is not our classmate, from looks I can deny and can’t accept that we are schoolmates.

My eyes moved to Dario sacredly. He locked his jaw while staring at me, angrily. The coldness and the anger subside together.

My eyes moved to the four boys wearing a yellow school uniform. I looked at them angrily.

“She said that she’s having a project. I bet she’s lying. She even pay the police siren to scare us.” The man who grabbed me said. It made the other man, who have a rough face, smirk and stare at me fondly.

“You don’t have to scare us, we can scare each other together.” He said coming closer to me. “We can moan together--"

My eyes widened when the shoes fly over to his face. Our eyes moved to Dario who kick his shoes away.

"You f*****g--"The man cursed but Dario was looking on us angrily. He shake his head while staring to us. Even I, moved step back.

“Stop talking bullshits.” He murmured angrily. I closed my eyes, and take the chance to walk forward to come to Dario but I screamed when they hold my waist.

"Damn, you! Don't touch me!" I yelled, scaredly. This time I hear the real siren of the police, and they push me to Dario that made us fall. I heard their footsteps running away.

Dario groan while his back landed on the floor while I was on top of him.

I looked at him, worried. " A-are you okay?"

My hand move to touch him but he averted his gaze, and moved his head away so that I can't touch him.

I asked but he averted his gaze, and push his face away from my hand a little so that I can't touch him.

“Lemon!” I heard Vanessa yelled.

My eyes still stare to Dario, but he didn't looked at me. He moved, and stare to the ceiling, catching his breath. I feeling like he was so mad, like disappointed or I can't draw him.

I heard footsteps near, and I slowly get up.

Vanessa quickly went straight to me. She hug me so tight.

I was facing the entrance, and the body guard stop staring at me. I know they already so tired of me, being hard-headed. I closed my eyes while hugging Vanessa. I don't know what really on my mind. I've been worrying Vanessa a lot, and it pains me.

"Is the nerd okay?" Vanessa asked me. I shrugged my shoulder. "Hey, nerd are you okay?" Vanessa asked again, this time it was louder, and clearer.

I heard him moved beside me.

Dario muttered, dangerously, "I don't know you two, but please don't get involved at my business."

He furiously tangled his hair and, in exasperation, rubbed his face with a dry hand.

"Even though, I don't want my bestfriend to meddle with your messy life. How can we just ignored it?" She asked, and now her voice is ready to fist fight.

I know that in Vanessa's mind, she think this nerd is not thankful or grateful at all.

Dario stood up. He looked at me at me for a minute. I don't know if I look pitiful right now. His eyes went to my arms, and I also gaze at it, and there's already red, and bruise.

He shake his head, and slowly leaving us.

"What the f**k with him?" Vanessa asked, strangely. I chuckled hearing her cursing right now.

"Maybe, he doesn't want us in trouble." I said to her to calm her down. "Get up, and pull me."

"You should stop involving. I thought that this why is better than you, racing but I don't know anymore, everything you do is always a danger."

I accepted her hand. I'm glad that all my body guard remained quite of all the things that I've done badly.

"You know, danger is my friend. " I said to myself.

Vanessa stopped, and stare at me seriously for the first time. The smile on my face faded as I stare at her seriousness. I don't know why pain cross around her eyes.

"Can't I be enough?" She asked me. She hold my hand, begging. "I know that you wanted them to see that you needed them. Can't I be enough? We are so worried, too. I'm scared that you won't stop--" I quickly hug Vanessa when the tear fell.

"I don't want to see you lifeless again." Her... Her voice cracked. "I don't want to see you... your life that's in danger."

I hugged her tightly. She's crying because of me. I can't do something to erase her worries and fear but all I could give and comfort was through my hugs.

"I'm sorry..." I whispered badly. "I'm sorry to put you always in worry."

I feel awful, not because I hurt myself, but rather because my actions put other people in pain.
