Dare To Love The Chubby Nerd CHAPTER 31: WHERE IS LILY?
CLARA'S POVI wrapped my arms around her small frame and held on; I felt the tension gradually drain from her shoulders. She sniffled once more, then went quiet, her breathing settling calmly against my chest."Can we go to your room?" I asked.She shook her head so hard I knew it was a no."Okay, Lily, we'll stay right here. You can sleep in my room tonight."She nodded in agreement, which told me more than anything she'd said all evening that this is what she wanted. I eased her back onto the pillow and reached over to flick off the lamp. I was halfway to the door to check the lock when I noticed her small hands wrapped around something; It was my sketchbook.She must have pulled it off my desk while I wasn't looking, tucked it against her like a stuffed animal. I crossed the room quickly and reached for it, my fingers curling around the cover before I could stop myself. It was instinct, pure reflex, the same reflex that made me hide it from Maya for months.Lily's face crumpled ins
Dare To Love The Chubby Nerd CHAPTER 30: ONE CONDITION
JAXSON'S POVThe whole group went silent; you could hear a pin drop. Even James looked caught off guard; he looked confused, his eyes moving between Charles and Clara."She was on my invite list originally," James said finally, scratching the back of his neck. "Sloane came to me last week, said to take her off. Said she wouldn't fit in with everyone else."All eyes turned to Sloane. She lifted her chin, not even a little embarrassed. "Oh come on, guys, y'all are thinking the same thing, don't pretend. She just doesn't fit the... optics.""Opticccccs," Charles repeated, dragging the word out slowly. "I didn't know James cared about optics, or that he was a classist.""Or that he's letting his new girl run his party," Miller added."I'm not his girl," Sloane snapped."Could've fooled me," Charles said.James held up both hands like he was trying to keep the peace. "Look, it's not that deep. Her invite's still at my place; I never threw it out. Actually, I think it's still in my car righ
Dare To Love The Chubby Nerd CHAPTER 29: GOT YOUR INVITE?
CLARA'S POVSunday passed in a twinkle, and the next morning the usual Monday craze had begun. I was in my room, tying my school shoes and pulling my heavy backpack over my shoulders. The house was dead quiet, save for the distant sound of the morning wind rattling the windows.Lily's homeschooling made my morning easier. Jaxson still made the poor girl learn even though she was unwell. I got her ready and only had to wait for her tutors to arrive before I left for school.I was in the living room about to grab my jacket off the couch when I heard the sound of Jaxson's engine ignite. I didn't believe it, so I ran out to check, and it was true. Our eyes met; he looked at me with disdain and drove off at speed.I stood there trying to wrap my head around it. He'd barely spoken to me since Sloane's visit yesterday. What could they have discussed? Then I remembered his parents were not around and there was no need for him to be the perfect son. I wore my jacket and headed for the bus.JAX
Dare To Love The Chubby Nerd CHAPTER 28: THE DISRESPECT
JAXSON'S POV"Hey Jax," Sloane said, pressing a kiss on my cheeks. "What's going on here? What's she?""She's making a delivery, and she's about to leave.""Delivery? For what?""Don't worry about it, Sloane," I held her, leading her inside. "Let's go in; she's about to leave anyway."Maya still stood there; Becca was signing on some documents, but she still stood moping like a duck."LEAVE THESE PREMISES NOW," I screamed at her.She jolted in shock and headed to the truck. I led Sloane to the living room and shut the door.I dropped onto the couch, and Sloane curled up right beside me, way closer than the couch required. She had that box in her lap, wrapped in gold paper with a ribbon."So what was that about?" she asked, tilting her head toward the door. "Since when do you deal with bakery trucks?""Maria's been complaining about the rolls for months," I said. "Somebody's dad owns a bakery. Not a big deal.""Didn't peg you as someone who cared about bread.""I don't. My parents are
Dare To Love The Chubby Nerd CHAPTER 27: RED LAMBORGHINI
CLARA'S POVI knew this day would come, but I didn't think it'd be so soon. I wanted to dive across the floor, snatch the paper out of Maya's hands, and rip it into a million tiny pieces, but it was too late.Maya was staring down at the page like she had just uncovered a literal chest of gold hidden under my dusty old rug. The drawing she was holding wasn't just a random scribble. It was a full-length, structured sports clothing collection that I had spent three bus rides working on.I had put a lot of work into it. I designed retro tracksuits, sneakers, sweatshirts, and full team wear. I knew I had created something special; it was my favorite piece yet, and now Maya knew."Clara," Maya whispered with a shaky voice as she looked up from the paper. "You drew this? Tell me you did not draw this.""Give it back, Maya," I begged with panic. I stepped forward, trying to grab the edge of the sheet, but she pulled it out of my reach."No way, not a chance," she snapped. "Why didn't you tel
Dare To Love The Chubby Nerd CHAPTER 26: GORGEOUS LINES
MAYA’S POVWe pulled apart so fast I tripped over my sneakers. My face was burning hot; my heart was thumping against my ribs like a wild animal.Becca smoothed down her jacket with trembling hands; she cleared her throat, and she walked over to the door. I stood by the dresser, trying to look completely casual, though my breath was still totally hitched from how close we just were. She turned the handle and pulled the door open.Clara stood in the dim hallway, looking completely wrecked, like a literal zombie. Her hair was tossed up in a messy, chaotic bun, and she had these dark, heavy purple circles under her eyes. The second she saw me, her jaw dropped in total shock.I didn't even care that we just got interrupted. I rushed forward and wrapped my arms tightly around her shoulders. "Oh my god, Clara. You look like death. What happened?"Clara let out a heavy breath, burying her face into my shoulder for a quick second before she pulled back. "Jaxson happened. He’s been a complete

He stared at me. I stared right back. Our eyes fixed on each other. The world did not end, though it felt like it should have. His mouth opened. "What the hell?" he screamed. "Adene? Is this a joke? Are you stalking me now?" "Jaxson." Maria appeared behind him, but her eyes moved straigh

I stared at the screen until the light burned my eyes. Removed from the W******p group. Then from the squad. What for? What was my offense? My phone rang out. Maya was calling. I picked up. "Clara? Are you seeing this?" Maya’s voice was frantic. "I just saw the notification. I tried to message

The word hit me like a physical blow to the chest.Filled?This couldn't be true. I needed this job. It wasn't just a job; it was the medicine in my mother's veins. It was the roof over our heads."Maria, wait," Mrs. Gabe pleaded. "I spoke to Helena this afternoon. She said—""And I am speaking t
