The Girl Behind The Books

Chapter 3

Emma's POV

I rush to class, as I walk in, I could feel everyone's eyes on me, even Brendon, I look at him and my heart skips a beat and my hands started to get sweaty.

I walk to my seat put my bag down and sit on the chair and got my notebook out and held my pen and started writing the notes down that were on the whiteboard.

Brendon's POV

I felt so awkward sitting in front of her, I bet she hates me so much now, I feel so weird, I'm never shy talking to a girl, but Emma made me feel like an asshole because I laughed at her, she didn't deserve it.

I have to apologize for being a jerk. Come on Brendon, get yourself together and turn around.

Damn it, don't be a p***y.

Without thinking, I just turn around and look at Emma straight in the eyes, my heart just legit skipped a beat. I open my mouth to talk but nothing came out, I was gonna get a panic attack.

SH*T...TALK BRENDON TALK..." hey...I just wanted to say I'm really sorry for being a jerk earlier. I shouldn't have laughed, I'm really sorry..please forgive me" I said. finally.

Wow, I feel like a p***y.

As I waited for an answer, I looked at her face, for the first time, I looked at her clearly, I realized how pretty she is.

Her black wavy hair falling down around her face, her blue eyes, and her pink lips, her rosy cheeks.

She is still a nerd though.

She finally opens her mouth which seemed like forever but it was actually like 3 seconds.

"Its ok, I reacted badly, and probably got you worried for nothing.." she said.

"No, I was a jerk, you didn't deserve that, I'm truly very sorry, I'll make it up to you," I said.

"I'm really okay, I'm just pretty sensitive.. and it isn't exactly your fault, its Mackenzie since she hates me so much.." she says looking down at her notebook, which had small doodles.

"You like drawing?" I asked. "Not exactly, I just doodle when I'm bored I guess" she shrugged.

Emma's POV

Oh my god.

He is actually talking to me. Someone is finally talking to me without saying nasty comments.

I look to my side and I can see Mackenzie glaring at me from across the classroom.

She was jealous, it couldn't be more obvious.

You're so stupid.

She is so perfect and look at you

Why would she be jealous?

He won't ever like you anyway, he just felt bad for you.

Brendon and I talked a bit more before we went back to paying attention to the teacher.

Well honestly, he did all the talking. I didn't say anything about myself.

No one knows anything about me except that I love books and that I'm a nerd.

The bell rang and we had to go to our next classes, I got up and swung my bag's strap around my shoulder, and looked at Brendon, who was already looking at me.

I slightly smile as he opens his mouth to say something, but his friend tackles him from behind so he turns around and starts talking to them.

I just shrug and walked towards the door of the class and made my exit.

As I went to my locker, someone banged the locker door shut before I could completely open it.

I look to my side to see Mackenzie and her bestie Jessica, she just glared at me, and I felt a shiver down my spine.

She was clearly mad that I talked to Brendon.

She gives me an evil look then says "Stay away from Brendon, we are together, and I don't want you stupid b*tch ruining everything, ok? And if you don't leave him alone.." an evil smirk appears on her face.

"I'll show everyone, a picture of you from middle school" she spits out.

Oh my god, she did not just say that.

My middle school picture, it's so embarrassing, if Brendon or anyone even sees the picture, I'm gonna get bullied even more...

"Am I clear?" she says I just nod, as she pushes me to my locker, she sashays and walks away.

I just hate it when that girl sashays, I think I'm gonna be sick. I get myself back together and try to process what just happened in my head.

Brendon and Mackenzie are together?

She wants me to stay away from him, or else the whole school will know how stupid I looked in middle school.

The only choice I had was to ignore anything Brendon says in class, maybe I can handle it?

I hope so.

I push away the stupid thoughts that keep coming into my head and then started heading to my chemistry class.
