Behind The Nerds Facade

Don't punch my wall only I can punch my wall

"W-what do you want?" stuttering really Yasmine? Great now he's going think he has an effect on your way to go, nerd, I scolded myself.

"Ok this is how it's going to go you tell me what I want to know, and I shut up about your secret no one finds out just you and me will know" he whispered in my ear I tried my best not to shudder in delight to the sound of his deep husky voice and his minty breath fanning my face. I managed to snap out of my trance like state I know what he's doing two can play at this. putting my hands on his chest I slowly snaked my hands around his neck and pulled him close to me so that both of our chests were touching and let my breath fan his neck.

"And what is it that you would like to know" I seductively whispered in his ear.

"I umm I uhm..." he was struggling to get his words out I couldn't help but laugh and pushed him off.

"Tsk tsk don't play games with me Mr. Montgomery you won't win" I left to my closet to change and put on a black sweater that had FOOD IS LIFE written on it and some black shorts that came up to mid-thigh

"You know you play dirty but so can I" He gave me an evil smirk I rolled my eyes at him.

"Get back on topic joey what do you want to know!?" I asked getting irritated with him.

"Fine" he let out a loud sigh "why do you do it? Why hide it? Why can't I figure you out? Why are you so complicated? Why-"

"Whoa one question at a time this isn't any of your business but if you must know ONE I do it because I love the rush it gives me and because all the money I get from there goes to helping Luke and his family and Jason and his son TWO because it’s dangerous if anyone found out who I really was I’m one of the top fighters every fighter wants to take me out I wouldn't only get challenges from left to right where ever I go gangs would use the people I care about to get to me and the police would be after me as well what I do isn't exactly legal you know and if the school found out I would lose my scholarship I worked my ass off for that THREE why would you even want to I’m not one of your bimbos that you can just smirk and tell me to drop my pants for you if you think I’m going to shut my mouth and do as you please you got another thing coming I’m not one to take orders honey I give them I don't receive them, to be honest I don't even know why girls go gaga over you and your brother to me your just another arrogant jock who thinks he owns the world and only thinks of himself " I crossed my arms over my chest and leaned against the wall while joey just glared at me I must have hit a nerve.

"You don't know a damn thing about me so don't you dare judge me why don't you do us all a favor and shut that pretty little mouth of yours I don't even know why I bother in getting to know you your just another girl playing hard to get nothing more nothing less!” I clenched my jaw and fisted my hands.

"You know nothing about me either so why don't you take your own advice and shut up I’m not one of your little fan girls I’m not going to bow down to you or anyone don't bother in getting to know me because I won't ever let a jerk like you get close enough to really get to know me it took too damn much to build all the walls i put up for some stupid jock who thinks I’m just playing hard to get to break them down and just leave like nothing happened got it"I spat if this was a cartoon I’d be as red as a tomato and blowing steam out of my ears a mixture of hurt and anger crossed his eyes.

"UGH YOU'RE SO FRUSTRATING " he punched my wall.

"Hey, don't punch my wall only I can punch my wall!"

"Fine go ahead!"

"fine I will”I turned around and punched a hole through my wall it didn't hurt but I felt blood go down my hand man was that going hurt tomorrow. Why did I even punch the wall? Now there are two holes in my wall great.

"Holly s**t Yasmine your bleeding" Joey came rushing to me grabbing my hand and taking me towards my bathroom.

"Let go of me I’m fine!" I snatched my hand out of his grip. Oh, now you want to play nice well it’s too late!

"Stop no your not can’t you see how badly hurt you are just please let me help you this one time" he gave me a pleading look why do you still look amazing! I just nodded my head I was at a loss for words Joey Montgomery just said please TO ME! He’s never that nice what the hell is going on is he bipolar? I just stared at him in shock as he took out the first aid kit and cleaned my wounds and wrapped my knuckles. I looked up only to find joey was a few centimeters away from my face our noses were almost touching. I could feel his breath fanning my face he looked at my lips then back at me being this close to him sent little currents of electricity through my body. I looked at his soft pink lips I wanted nothing more than to just kiss him he cupped my cheek his hand sent pleasant shivers down my body, I felt his lips on me. i hesitated for a moment then kissed him back our lips danced together in perfect sync he grabbed my waist pulling me closer to him I ran my fingers through his hair and softly bit his lip earning a low groan from him as he deepened the kiss We were interrupted by his phone ringing he growled and took out his phone.

"What!" he answered.

" damn chill bro just letting you know your girlfriend is here" it was Cory, Joey looked at me realization hit me wow was I so damn stupid he’s just another guy looking to get in my pants how could I let him kiss me joey quickly hung up.

"Yasmine I can explain it-"

"What joey where you going to say it’s not what it seems"I laughed a humorless laugh "way to go joey you just proved me right you are just another arrogant jock look I don't care for your excuse just leave it was just a stupid kiss it had no meaning so leave your girlfriend awaits you" he looked hurt he was about to speak but was interrupted by my phone going off.

Don’t you wish your girlfriend was hot like me...

It was scarlets ringtone I quickly answered.

"hey Yasmine, can you come pick me up at Lincoln park please its code red" code red means heartbreak.

"Yeah give me five minutes wait by the benches"I hung up and turned to joey.

"Well I got to run you can show yourself out I expect you to be gone by the time I come back" I grabbed my keys and started walking towards the door.

"But-"

"But nothing this conversation is over I’m done here I have things to attend to the kiss has no meaning it was a meaningless kiss got it" deny deny and deny right? I kept walking not leaving room for argument when I arrived at Lincoln park I saw scarlet’s silhouette on a bench she was hugging her legs up against her chest and resting her chin on her knees staring off into the sunset seeing that it was now 5:00 I sat by her on the bench and pulled out a Hershey chocolate bar out of my sweater and gave it to her without speaking. she loves chocolate we sat there in silence while she ate I didn't say anything because I new she needed some space to let everything sink in and gather her thoughts.
