Dare To Love The Chubby Nerd CHAPTER 51: MARCH!!!
CLARA'S POV"A walk?" I blinked, totally caught off guard. "Lily, what are you thinking? It's past six. It's literally pitch black outside.""I don't care! I want to go out to the gardens. We are going right now." She ordered."No, we aren't," I said. "If you want to wander around the estate in the dark, you have to go ask Maria first. It's against the rules.""I am not asking Maria!" She stomped her foot. "You are my nanny; you're supposed to take me.""It's late, Lily. Maybe tomorrow we'd ask Maria early enough, so we don't do something wrong, and I don't get punished." Lily glared at me like I was her worst enemy. "You are just a giant scaredy-cat, Clara! You are terrified of everybody in this house!""I am not scared; I'm just trying to follow the rules.""Liar!" Lily yelled, pointing at me. "My old nanny never cared about Maria's rules! She wasn't scared of Maria, and she definitely wasn't scared of Jaxson like you are!""I am not scared of Jaxson!" I shot back."Yes you areeeee
Dare To Love The Chubby Nerd CHAPTER 50: THREE MORE WEEKS
CLARA'S POVI was frozen, staring blankly at the screen. Someone had caught the whole thing on video, and it was already everywhere, comments piling up faster than I could read them. The video already had over ten thousand views. Hundreds of students from Sterling Heights had already liked it, shared it, and commented on it. One comment called me a pathetic charity case. Another person asked why James would ever let someone from the underworld into his house. The cruel words blurred together on the small screen, my hurt so hard I went blank for almost a minitue. It was trending everywhere, and I didn't know how to react.My phone buzzed again. Maya's name popped up. “Clara, pick up! Call me!”I couldn't do it; I just couldn't. I was tired of it, of everyone feeling sorry for me, like a true charity case. My fingers felt totally numb; I swiped the notification away, put my phone on DND, tossed it onto the nightstand, and pulled the blanket over my head.I cried so hard my pillow soak
Dare To Love The Chubby Nerd CHAPTER 49: TRASH BELONGS IN THE GARBAGE
CLARA'S POVJaxson immediately dropped his arm, completely distracted by the soft, heartbreaking sound of his little sister crying in the doorway."Lily?" Jaxson asked, taking a step toward her. "What are you doing awake, squirt? What's wrong?"I didn’t waste a single second. I snatched the sketch out of his loosened grip, shoved the paper directly into my thick sketchbook, slammed the cover shut, and hugged it tightly against my chest.Lily completely ignored Jaxson. She walked right past her brother, shuffling across the bedroom floor, and buried her tear-stained face directly into my legs. She wrapped her tiny arms around my knees, sobbing loudly."I had a scary dream," Lily whimpered, her voice shaking. "I dreamt mummy doesn't come back."I dropped down to my knees instantly, wrapping my free arm around her small back. "It is okay, Lily," I whispered. "It's just a dream, mummy's gonna be back, she surely will."I scooped her up into my arms and stood up tall, balancing her weight
Dare To Love The Chubby Nerd CHAPTER 48: BLANK PAGE
CLARA'S POVThe red dress hugged my figure perfectly. I didn’t look like the invisible housekeeper anymore. I grabbed Maya's red lipstick she'd left in my purse, reapplied it carefully, and grabbed my phone. I took a few selfies in the mirror, turning slightly for the angle, actually smiling at my own reflection for once instead of picking myself apart.I opened my photo gallery and scrolled happily through the dozen pictures Maya had airdropped me from the photo booth, the whole strip from the booth, plus a few candids of me laughing with James. We looked so happy together, and I felt truly grateful.I didn't bother changing my dress; it was tight, but I liked the way I felt.I grabbed my sketchbook off the desk and flipped it open, meaning to jot down some ideas while they were still fresh in my head.As I flipped it open, a loose piece of paper slid out and fluttered onto the messy sheets. I picked it up slowly. It was the detailed sketch I'd drawn the other day, the one that looke
Dare To Love The Chubby Nerd CHAPTER 47: TAKING SIDES
CLARA'S POV Sloane's face went from red to something worse. I glanced sideways and saw Jaxson reach for her arm, trying to pull her back a step, but she yanked it away before he could say anything."You know what, forget this," she said, raising her voice. "Forget all of you!" She turned and stormed out of the hallway toward the front door, shoving past two people on her way out."Sloane, wait!" Jaxson called out. He looked at us, looking completely pissed off and stressed out. "You're wrong about this, Sloane! Stop!"Jaxson ran after her, disappearing down the hall to try and stop her from crashing out any further."You're wrong about this," I heard him say as he caught up to her near the door, before the noise of the party swallowed the rest of it.James let out a long breath and rubbed the back of his neck. "Sorry about that. She gets like that sometimes.""It's fine," I said."You guys want something to eat? There's still a ton of food out there."I glanced at my phone; I had jus
Dare To Love The Chubby Nerd CHAPTER 46: NOT JEALOUS
CLARA'S POV "Yep, that's her," Maya said proudly."You look completely different; I almost didn't recognize you," Charles said.We took a few photos together, me, Maya, and the boys; James put his arms around my shoulders for some. Then Charles's girlfriend called him from across the room, and he took off with a quick wave.Maya pulled me toward the photo booth James had set up near the back, and we took picture after picture, some silly, some serious, Maya insisting on getting a few just of me alone."For you," she said, showing me the little printed strip. "So you remember tonight."JAXSON'S POVI still stood at the top of the stairs, watching everybody swarm around Clara. I couldn't believe my own eyes. Every guy in the room was looking at her. Miller, James, Charles — they were all taking pictures with her, laughing with her, complimenting her.I felt a deep discomfort in my chest the whole time, and I couldn't figure out what it was. I wasn't jealous. I didn't do jealous. But I
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
