The Nerd Can Fight Chapter 11
I felt like a complete zombie. I won’t understand why I bothered going to school. I would probably learn nothing by the rate I’m processing things.“Dude, you look like shit.” Dom exclaimed once he saw me going down the stairs. My clothes were ruffled, my hair was a mess and I’m pretty sure my face was pale and have bags under my eyes.“Yeah, I feel like it too,” I muttered to him. Monday is so not my day.Not soon after that, I was greeted by sweet Monic who had a look of pure horror. She didn’t even bother hiding it. “Case, are you sure you’re fine?”“Never said I was, Mon, never said I was.” I mumbled to her.Jake and Adam were eating breakfast in the kitchen and since Adam’s back was towards the door, he still hadn’t said anything, yet. But that soon ended when Jake started choking on his food. Adam looked at him worriedly and reached over the counter t

When class was over, I found a note in my locker.Football practice until 4. Sorry.–AdamOf course he got recruited in the football team. I mentally groaned and sighed in faint annoyance. Don’t get me wrong, I’m happy for the dude but I do not have a good experience with the football guys in this hell hole.I guess I’m doing my homework early then.I took a hold of the thick ass book for history and business studies. This is a pain in my ass, I mean look at these shits. Who in their right mind would even have the time to create a book this fudging thick?!I finally finished sorting out the things I wanted to bring with me to the bleachers and took my files out to shove in the papers I got from my lectures. Cue mental groan here. I’m so going to fail future tests if I don’t get my shit straight ASAP.It took me a few minutes after looking around that I realized it was quieter than usual and hushed tones were

Adam pushed the door open for me and the second I stepped foot into the place, yells, cheers and shouts engulfed me.I tugged at the hoodie’s sleeves and shrunk back into its warmth, trying to seek comfort as adrenaline rushed through me at my familiar surroundings.I love this place but the fact that I’m not alone as I stroll through the place is bothering me.There’s a reason why I use a nickname in this place and do not associate with the people inside the building when I meet them anywhere but here.I stuck to Adam’s side, trying to blend in for once as we walked through the crowd. Adam was having a hard time finding his cousin and I was beyond anxious while Jake, Dom and Monic trailed behind us.I didn’t like her coming with but she finally wormed her way into a loop hole and got her pass. This place is anything but safe and I wouldn’t forgive myself if anything happens to my baby sister. She’s just

“Here are the rules,” He started, eyeing the three guys that I’m pretty sure were intimidating him but I shook my head, chuckling softly.“We’re out of the building and that means there are no rules, pretty boy.” You asked for it, you’re going to get it. “The only shit that’s going to happen is a deal. If I win, you and any associate of yours will leave me and my friends alone.” I told him in a firm voice, thinking about Monic. Jake better get her somewhere safe by now or I’m so going to castrate the shit out of that guy.“And if I win?” He prodded and I shrugged, hoping to come off uncaring about it.There was a 50/50 chance this guy can win judging from his built and how his eyes zero on my every move. This is going to be a tough fight.His eyes twinkled with mischief and something else that made the hair on the back of my neck stand up and the goose bumps decided to

After parking my bike near the entrance, I trudged lazily into the warehouse, guided by Adam and the dim light of our phones. It wasn’t big and it looked pretty cozy to live in. It was easily as big as my living room back home.A couch was pushed in the far corner, covered with sheets and under it laid a carpet and nearby sat a mini wooden coffee table that seemed to be polished not long ago. Beside the couch was a lamp stand that was alight and on the other side was a mini fridge, plugged into a socket on the foot of the wall.Shelves and 2 other couches were placed across the room along with a counter with snacks and sachets of tea, coffee and other beverages. A few clothes were strewn here and there but aside from that, there was nothing unique about it.Monic ran towards me in a hurry and engulfed me in a bear hug before pushing me to arm’s length to start her inspection from my head to the tip of my toes for any wounds.“Je

I woke up in the middle of the night, gasping for air as I shot up from the couch. I looked around frantically and tried to remember where we were. My heart thudded loudly against my ribs painfully and the blood rushed to my head.My hands were clutching the shirt covering my chest in a fist, trying to calm my ragingly beating heart.I finally managed to force myself to focus and reminisced what happened last night. Meanwhile, Adam, who apparently gave me some space to sleep and decided to sleep on the carpet instead, stirred awake and hummed in silence.After rubbing the sleep off his eyes, he sat and stretched, instantly wincing and held onto his back. He finally caught me staring and scratched the back of his head awkwardly. “Erm... Hey?” It came out as a question and I can’t help but give him a weak smile at the attempt he made.“Was it another nightmare?” He asked as I shifted and gave him room on the couch. He

On Thursday, our school was holding a basketball match against a neighboring school and by noon, the gym was packed with students.The teachers were filing in along with janitors helping us carry chairs for the visitors which were mostly the students from the other school and a few parents; coming to supports the players.I took a seat among the other students from our school. I craned my neck to catch a glimpse of the players pouring in.The throng of people in front of me was blocking my view and I’ve been spending the past couple of minutes trying to search for that small hole between them that will allow me to see what’s going on.Adam’s not coming in today. He texted me this morning telling me that his mom was not feeling well and that he was going to have to take care of her.I offered to help him out but he turned the offer down and told me he was going to be fine so I dropped it and let him be.After that trip to the m

It was finally Friday and Penelope just arrived by my house.I didn’t bother saying goodbye because the house was empty anyway. Monic was staying in the warehouse along with Jake while Adam was busy taking care of his mother.I grabbed the house keys and my purse before stepping out of the house and slipped on some flats.I don’t care who you are, ask me to wear goddamn heels and I will decapitate you on the spot.You aren’t my friend if you’re rooting for me to break my neck.I was dressed in an off shoulder white crop top and a high- waist shorts that ended on my mid-thigh. It showed just enough skin to not make me feel slutty or uncomfortable in my own skin.I strolled towards the pink bug that Penelope drove and slipped into the passenger seat.“Sorry to keep you waiting,” I breathed out as I placed my purse on my lap and folded my hand to keep them from fidgeting.“It’s okay,” Penelop

The Nerd Can Fight Chapter 133: Bryant's Story - Epilogue
The car had toppled over and had landed on its side. Casey was under me. I could feel the liquid that drenched my eyelids, preventing me from cracking my eyes open. I felt the pressure on my arm that laid under Casey's head to protect it from the jostling that happened as the car swerved and fell sideways. I couldn't feel my lower half either but from the movements that Casey made under me, I knew that I've successfully cocooned her.Through the blinding pain, I heard Casey's cries and screams over a faint hissing noise. Every movement she made that nudged any part of my body would flare a new set of pain that threatened to knock me out. But amidst the unbearable pain, I felt relief in my heart.My little sister was okay. She was alive. She was moving.That was all I needed.
The Nerd Can Fight Chapter 132: Bryant's Story
I pulled up at the spot where I dropped Casey off earlier and got out of the car. I jogged to the front door where Casey stood, one of her friends hanging a few feet behind her with what looked like my sister's purse in her hands.I locked eyes with Casey and she started walking. I couldn't read her expression as she looked straight ahead and power walked towards me. I slowed down, ready to spread my arms to give her a hug, but she stepped past me and walked towards the car instead. I turned to look at her back as she continued walking before turning back to her friend, handing me Casey's stuff.Casey's friend gave me a look and shook her head, tipping me off on how bad it went. As I took Casey's bag from her and ran after my little sister who was already walking towards the car, I watched the drag in her steps, as if they were the heav

"Yeah, just drop by any time you feel like it, Bryant. I've got no plans tonight so I'll probably be home. I'll text you my address." General Reeves said through the phone."Thank you, General. I'll call you when I'm on my way there." I spoke into the phone before hanging up.It's been a few days since I last heard from Dom. If our fight the other day didn't happen, I wouldn't have thought much about his silence since we weren't the kind of friends who had to talk to each other every day to stay close but how we left things off the last time we met made me worried.I checked his social media account to see if he was active or had made any posts lately but found nothing that eased my worries. Maybe I was too hard on him..But wha
The Nerd Can Fight Chapter 130: Bryant's Story
I shut the front door and locked it before taking off my shoes. Casey was laying sprawled on the living room couch in her pajamas, covered by a layer of blanket. Her hair was tied up in a messy bun, head resting on a pillow propped up against the armrest and hands holding a spoon and an ice cream tub. The TV was playing one of the episodes of 'Salvation' on Netflix.When she heard me stroll into the living room, she raised her head and craned her neck to look at me. "You're home early," she commented, looking at the time displayed on her phone screen.It was only 6 p.m. so technically it was early. After staying for a few hours in the park, watching the sunset together, I told Maddy what I was planning and she understandingly agreed without any objections or complaints. I was lucky to have a supportive and understanding girlfriend.

I tilted my head up with my eyes closed, trying to just absorb the fresh air and let it cool my insides and help me relax.I opened my eyes and watched as the wind shook the branches of the tree we were sitting under. Fall was already here and winter was just right around the corner, approaching fast. The branches were already balding, giving it a bare look, making the tree seem almost naked without its green. The leaves that managed to stay on the branches had already turned colors, pulling different shades of orange, yellow and sometimes even a beautiful bright red. The sight made by the tree branches reaching out and creating a web right above us, mapping across the space between us and the sky, was entrancing, at least to me. I could never get enough of it.The sun was nowhere to be seen today, hidden behind some clouds. The air aro

"Leaving?" Casey asked me as she stirred her cereal and milk in a bowl for breakfast."Yeah, I'll be back by 10 p.m. tonight." I told her over the jiggle of my keys as I pocketed them. "Do you have any plans today?"Casey shook her head, "Get home as late as you'd like, I'm not a kid, I'll be alright. I'll just be chilling inside, binge watching netflix and enjoying my ice cream."I didn't want to argue with her about going home later. It was more for my peace of mind than anything else. For the past year, I've tried very hard to never let Casey be alone. Especially in an empty house late at night. Of course she didn't understand where my worries and anxiety was coming from but that's alright. I'll do the worrying and being the anxious one, she can live in blissful ignorance that comes
The Nerd Can Fight Chapter 127: Bryant's Story
"You haven't forgotten what day tomorrow is, right?" Casey asked me while she dumped her things on the foot of her bed.I plopped on my bed beside hers and rubbed my eyes tiredly. I hummed in response to her question, laying my arm over my eyes to block the light streaming in through the window by my bed.When she didn't continue speaking, I raised my arm slightly and took a peek at her.Casey stood over me, staring me down with her hands propped on her hips."You totally forgot what tomorrow is, didn't you?" She asked again.I grunted in annoyance, prompting her to stop speaking in circles and just get to the point.I felt a slap l

I rang the doorbell and waited for a few minutes for Dom to answer it and let me in.I had the urge to look around to check if anyone was watching me while I was waiting but I didn't want to tip off the people watching if there were any. I didn't want to give them further reason to suspect that I was hiding something.Because I was, and they're not supposed to know that.It was a Saturday afternoon and it was way too shiny than I'd like it to be. The sun was beating down my back and it was starting to get uncomfortable, so I knocked on the door to rush Dom."Coming! Hold your bloody horses!" Dom cursed from behind the door as the door jiggled and swung open. Dom stepped aside once he saw it was me and let me in. "You're here."

We stepped into the restaurant and told them we had made a reservation under Johnson.A waiter led us to a table where a man in a collared shirt sat, talking into his phone.When he saw us approaching, he waved and said a few words into the phone before hanging up and stashing the device away, smiling widely at my parents."I thought you stood me up!" He joked, standing from his seat to warmly greet my parents with hugs.Dad slightly turned his body to let the man see Casey and I clearly."This is Bryant, my oldest." I smiled as Dad made the introductions, stepping forward and offering my hand.He took my hand and shook it firmly. H
