• The Bully Love And The Nerd   Dirty Excuse Of A Daughter

  Raine's povMaya’s car came to a stop in front of my house, and I immediately felt a knot tighten in my stomach. It wasn’t just the usual nervousness that came from returning home; it was the weight of my mother’s voice over the phone earlier. Sharp and cold. My father once said one couldn't hate one's mother but could only be mad at her and I believed that for years. Now, I wasn't even sure what I believed. I didn't know if she was doing all of this out of love, maybe this was her way of showing me love or she just simply hated me and my existence. Maya and Genevieve exchanged glances in the front seat, then turned to me. “Are you sure you don’t want us to come in with you?" Gen asked "Not really" I muttered and she nodded "What if we just say hi to your her and then leave after?” Maya asked, her voice hesitant. I knew they didn't want to leave me alone with her and I wanted them to come in with me badly. But mum didn't like them, she thinks friends are a distraction and a waste

• The Bully Love And The Nerd   A Sister I Never Had

  Raine's povAfter school, Maya, Genevieve and I took the bus to Maya's house, we had the habit of doing that sometimes just so we could ride the bus and also to disobey my mother who said riding the bus wasn't ladylike. We shuffled down the familiar road to Maya’s house after getting off the bus, Genevieve who was the silent one, chattering excitedly beside me today, talking about how Jasper was in her chemistry class. We had told my parents we were going to study, and while that wasn’t technically untrue, studying wasn’t exactly the primary plan. Maya had always been the go-to host, not just because her house was spacious and welcoming, but because it felt like stepping into a world so different from my own. Maya had a life that I wanted but never had, yes I was rich just like Maya but things ran differently in her household from mine and being here made me feel like I was truly part of this house and not my empty and quiet one. Maya’s mom was a lawyer, always busy with cases and c

• The Bully Love And The Nerd   That Damn Wink

  Raine’s povMy heart thudded in my chest as Noah and I made our way to the principal’s office. The announcement that we were both needed there echoed in my mind like a death knell. Beside me, Noah seemed unfazed, his hands shoved into his pockets and his usual smirk plastered on his face. How was he always so calm in situations like this? Meanwhile, my palms were sweating, and I couldn’t shake the feeling that my whole world was about to come crashing down.The principal hated me and Noah because she was always inviting us to her office just to either place a punishment on us or warn us. And I hated coming to her office because of the way she treats people. In a high school full of bullies, we can't even voice out because she is a bully herself. Noah opened her office and we walked in. The receptionist barely looked up when we arrived, her red-framed glasses slipping down her nose as she gestured toward the chairs outside the principal’s office.“Have a seat. She’ll call you in short

• The Bully Love And The Nerd   Noah definitely has a crush on you

  Raine's povThe classroom was suffocatingly quiet as Mr. Stevens continued to drone on, outlining the intricacies of the day’s calculus problems. Despite the soft hum of the fluorescent lights overhead, I could barely focus on anything except the way my thoughts kept drifting back to the morning. Noah’s hand had been warm around mine when he’d pulled me into the janitor’s closet, and I couldn’t get the image of his eyes, dark with something I wasn’t ready to label, out of my head. The heat of his body close to mine, the slight tension in the air... I still felt it all. Why was I bothered so much by everything that he did?I scribbled a half-hearted answer to the first problem on my worksheet, my pen making slow, jerky movements across the paper as if my hand wasn’t connected to my brain anymore. I couldn’t focus on the numbers. I couldn’t focus on the formulas. I couldn’t focus on anything other than the way my body reacted to being near him. Why did I close my eyes when his head lowe

• The Bully Love And The Nerd   The incident in the Janitor's closet

  Chapter 33Raine's povThe hallway was quieter than usual when Genevieve and Maya left, their chatter fading into the distance. They had intentionally left me alone with Noah because they probably wanted him to talk to me even though I told them that I was perfectly fine. I tried not to pay attention to the heavy silence left behind, but being alone with Noah was unnerving. Jasper and Cameron were still standing by his side. Cameron was leaning casually against a locker, tossing a basketball up and down. "How are you today Raine?" He asked and I knew he was referring to the cheese accident. "I'm okay" I muttered and he nodded with a smile "Jasper and I are off to the field, we have P.E this morning, I will see you and Noah at lunch" Cameron added and I nodded before he and Jasper made their way out of the locker room and in no time, it was just me and Noah alone in the hallways.I glanced at him. His gaze was fixed on me, unreadable as always. The weight of it made me fidget. “Is t

• The Bully Love And The Nerd   What does Noah have to say

  RAINE I shut the front door with a bang as soon as I am in the house after school that day. " Raine is that you? " I heard mum's voice as she came down the staircase and then gasp in shock. " What are you doing here looking like that and why didn't you come home with Mr Benson earlier today? " she asks me but I don't give her replies or even acknowledge her presence. We weren't talking and she slapped me this morning. I wasn't going to act like I was fine when I wasn't fine. I sat down on the floor to take off my boots that are already soaking with water from the rain. " Is that what we are doing now Raine, I talk and you don't reply me. you ignore me " she says in anger " What do you want me to say mum. apologize for coming up drenched in cheese and the rain. apologize for not looking lady like or apologize for not asking you to travel like you want " I say sarcastically " Now that I think of it. I think I have a lot to apologize for mum. well then I'm sorry " I yell and then g
