Dare To Love The Chubby Nerd CHAPTER 35: FOR THE FIRST TIME
CLARA'S POV"Lily, dear, what's wrong?" I asked, crouching down in the doorway so I was level with her. "It's late; you should be asleep."She looked up at me with those same wide eyes from the night before, her small hands twisting the hem of her nightgown. "I want to sleep here," she said quietly.My heart stopped. I could still feel the sting from that morning, Jaxson's voice tearing me awake, Maria's face carved out of stone, the two of them standing over me like I'd committed some unforgivable crime. I wasn't doing that again. I couldn't."Lily, I can't," I said gently. "You remember what happened this morning, right? Your brother was really upset; I got in trouble. I can't have you sleeping in my room again, not without someone knowing exactly where you are."Her face crumpled a little, but she didn't cry, just nodded slowly like she understood even if she didn't like it."Come on," I said, taking her small hand in mine. "Let's find Maria, okay? She can decide what to do."We wa
Dare To Love The Chubby Nerd CHAPTER 34: AGAIN!!
CLARA'S POVMaya took the box out of James's hand and held it up right in Sloane's face. "See this?" she said. "This right here says we're invited. Both of us. So you can save the whole speech about belonging, Sloane, because apparently James and Charles disagree with you."Sloane looked pissed and disappointed at the same time, her eyes moving from the box to Charles like she expected him to have done better. "This is ridiculous, Charles, you both know that, right? It's ridiculous."Charles shrugged. "Not really my call to make, Sloane. I already told her she's in. James already told her she's in. That's two votes against your one, and last I checked, you don't own the guest list; it's not even your party.""I have every right to have an opinion about who shows up at any party in this school, especially when it's amongst us, the elites.""An opinion, sure," Charles said. "A veto, no."Sloane's face turned red. "You're all embarrassing yourselves," she snapped, looking around at Charl
Dare To Love The Chubby Nerd CHAPTER 33: SIT IN A CORNER
CLARA'S POV I stood frozen in shock, staring at her blank face. "Lily," I said gently, crouching down. "Remember last night? You came to my room, crying, not wanting to be alone. Do you remember?" Lily blinked at me, chewing slowly on her toast, her eyes drifting off toward the window like she was searching for the memory somewhere. "Please, remember." "Oh," she said finally. "Yeah, I felt lonely. There was nobody there, and Maria was asleep, and I didn't want to sleep by myself, so I went to Clara's room." "Why didn't you come to me?" Maria asked. Lily shrugged. "You always tell me to go back to sleep and shut the light. Clara tells me stories." "See?" I turned to Maria, relief flooding through me. "She just told you herself, in her own words. She came to me, I didn't take her from her room, I didn't do anything wrong here." Maria didn't budge. "That changes nothing," she said flatly. "You have no rights over this child, Clara. Whether she came to you or not, you should have b
Dare To Love The Chubby Nerd CHAPTER 32: FOLLOW PROTOCOL
JAXSON'S POVThe door swung open so hard it cracked against the wall. I stood in the doorway, my mouth wide open, trying to make sense of what I was looking at. Lily was curled up on Clara's bed, tucked under her arm, her small face pressed into that same disgusting oversized shirt Clara always slept in. She was fast asleep, not missing, not hurt.For one second, I felt relieved that she was okay. Then something else took over, something uglier, something I couldn't explain even to myself."WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?" I roared.Clara jolted awake immediately, her eyes flying open with panic. Lily stirred against her but didn't wake, just made a small sound and burrowed deeper into her side."HOW DARE YOU, CLARA? You wrapped your fat, disgusting self around my sister?" I spat, stepping into the room. "Do you have any idea what you just put this house through? We've been tearing this place apart looking for her!""She came to me," Clara said, sitting up fast, her voice cracking with the ef
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 5: "MUMMY! MONSTER!"
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
Dare To Love The Chubby Nerd CHAPTER 4: NOT THE AESTHETIC
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
Dare To Love The Chubby Nerd CHAPTER 3: SECURE THE KEYS
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
Dare To Love The Chubby Nerd CHAPTER 2: GOOD WILL PAYMENT
I couldn’t speak.“She’s fading, Clara,” he continued. "Every hour we wait is an hour we don’t get back. If we delay much longer, she might not make it.”The doctor walked away to check on another patient."I’ll get the money, sir. I’ll try," I whispered as he went.My phone buzzed in my hand. I lo
