“But we live in the same house,” I said, looking straight into his eyes. “We go to the same school…” "It doesn't matter, Clara. We'd still need to…” “Whatever you need to tell me," I cut him off. “You could tell me in school or back here at home. Please excuse me” I turned around and walked back inside the house, letting the heavy front door swing shut. I thought it was over, but then I heard his quick footsteps right behind me. He followed

CLARA’S POV"We can just run to the fabric store right now," Jaxson said, looking down the street. "The large craft warehouse down by the town square is still open for two more hours.""What about Lily?" I asked, looking down at her. "I can't just leave her, and your mum will kill me if she finds out."Lily squeezed my hand hard and looked up at me with wide eyes. "I promise I won't say a word, Clara! Cross my heart! Please let me go with you!"Jaxson walked over to the black Hilux idling at the curb. He knocked on the driver's window and talked to the driver in a low voice for a minute. The driver looked back at Lily, nodded, and hit the door unlock button."He said it's fine," Jaxson called back. "We just have to be quick so we get back before five thirty."We all jumped into the back seat of the Hilux. The driver stepped on the gas, turning out of the estate and heading straight toward the town square.We made it to the craft warehouse in ten minutes. I sprinted inside with Jaxson
Dare To Love The Chubby Nerd CHAPTER 177: PINK TROUBLE
JAXSON’S POVOn top of the flyers was a small white box tied with a blue ribbon.I opened the lid, and a row of tiny, hoodie-shaped sugar cookies lay inside. Each one had AURA iced across the front in neat letters. In the corner of the box sat one extra cookie, a little bigger than the others, with a pink L."Every house gets one," I said. "Maya and I made them as a surprise. People remember sweet things."Lily stared at the pink cookie, and her whole face lit up. "For me?""The one with the L, yeah, that's yours," I said, handing it to her.“Awww, this is so nice,” Clara said, smiling. "Thank you so much, Jaxson.”Under the cookies sat a neat stack of thick white business cards. I lifted them out and handed the pile to Clara.They had her name, AURA SPORTS COLLECTION, her email, and a tiny QR code printed right in the middle.Clara looked at the cards, then at the flyers, her eyes widening. "Jaxson... how did you pay for all this? Business cards aren't cheap. And Maya's ...""I stil
Dare To Love The Chubby Nerd CHAPTER 176: FIRST STEP
CLARA’S POV"What’s the idea?" I asked, a little nervous."We go outside and tell people about it," Lily said. "We just tell them.""Lily, that’s not how it works. You can’t walk up to strangers and...""Then we start with my walks." She held up one finger. "It’s spring now, so it isn’t cold anymore. I want to start my walks again. I already told Mommy, and she said I can do whatever makes me happy, since Jaxson isn’t around."She said it so simply that my eyes stung. "Wait," I said slowly. "That’s actually a good idea.""I told you.""We could walk around the estate, and people would see us, and...""And you can draw your clothes in a little book," Lily said, talking faster because she was excited. "You’re good at drawing. You put your designs in the book, and we give pages to people we see on the road. We tell them you can make those clothes, and you can sew things for them."For a second I couldn’t speak. Then I grabbed her, lifted her right of
Dare To Love The Chubby Nerd CHAPTER 175: LITTLE IDEA
CLARA’S POVMrs. King stood in the doorway, staring down at me with her dark glasses pushed up onto her hair. Her hands were tucked into the pockets of her beige trench coat.“Why are you just coming back? You're right on time,” she said, her voice dropping cold. “But you're coming home much later than you used to.”"Mrs. King, I...""I hope it isn’t what I’m thinking, Clara."My knees almost gave out. I made my voice as steady as I could. "It’s the traffic, ma’am. After school, I go to the library and by the time I get out, traffic is terrible.""Hmm," she said."Clara!" Lily came running down the grand staircase in the pink gown, and her little bag swung around. "You’re home! Mom, why does Clara have to take the bus? We have so many cars in the garage, and nobody uses them. She can use one.""Lily," Mrs. King said."But it’s true! There are like five.""Lily, go and find your shoes."She turned to me. "We're visiting a friend, and we’ll be back before dinner. Make sure her room is c
Dare To Love The Chubby Nerd CHAPTER 174: STILL YOURS
CLARA’S POVThe whole school walked into the main hall, and it was so loud that the principal had to tap the microphone three times before anyone stopped talking."Good afternoon, students," she said. "I know you’re tired, so I’ll keep this short. As of today, spring break officially begins. There will be no classes next week.”For one second, nobody moved. Then the hall exploded. People screamed and hugged and threw their notebooks in the air, and somebody blew an air horn that the teachers had definitely told them not to bring. Maya grabbed both my shoulders and shook me."Spring break! A whole week, Clara!"The principal waited with a patient smile until the noise dropped a little. "Before you run for the doors, listen. Your assignments are still due the Monday you return, so use this time wisely. And to our fashion finalists, I want you to see this week as an opportunity. Perfect your craft. Build your brands. The finals will be here before you know it."The crowd cheered again as

MAYA’S POV"Get off him!" I screamed, pushing past two guys from the basketball team.Charles was standing over Jaxson with his fist raised for another hit. Carl grabbed Charles around the neck from behind and hauled him backward hard, while James stepped right in between them."That's enough!" Carl yelled at Charles. "Are you crazy?!"Jaxson was lying on the wet grass near the pool edge, clutching his side. His lower lip was split open, and blood ran down his neck onto his nice shirt. His left eye was already swelling up fast.I dropped to my knees beside him. "Jaxson! Can you hear me?""Yeah," he choked out, spitting blood onto the grass."Help me get him up!" I shouted at Carl.Carl grabbed Jaxson's left arm, I took his right, and we hauled him to his feet. Jaxson groaned loudly, his knees buckling under him. We dragged him through the house, dodging all the people who were staring and taking videos on their phones, and got him out into the front y

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
