El Nerdo Novels & Stories

“Then make it hurt, baby.” Noa’s laugh was bitter. “You’re such a psycho.” “You like that about me.” The main hall loomed open, wide and empty except for Nero. He stood at the altar, hands in his pockets, black combat boots splashed in red like he’d been stepping through bodies. His grin split wide when he saw them. “Took you long enough.” Noa’s gun rose, sharp and steady. “Shut up.” Nero’s eyes gleamed. “Still with him, huh? Even knowing what’s inside you?”

The one that would have fought the void for me instead of feeding me to it. She looks at me now, eyes soft around the event horizons. Nerida: “So yeah. I’m the girl who swallowed a galaxy because it was the only way to keep the dark from swallowing me first. But I’m also just Nerida. Third-year. Void-skate team captain. Really good at making coffee that tastes like nostalgia. And if you ever need someone to eat a sky court for you… I know a girl.” She offers a tentacle. I take it.

There are people dancing in the volleyball courts and a lot of people are watching. Buntings in the form of triangular flags are getting set up above the walkway. They are arranged in a zigzag way. I couldn’t help but smile at how happy these people are. Is there a festival? I almost jumped when I heard knocks on my door. I immediately ran and opened it. My eyes widened when I saw Nero dressed in flowery shirt and a pair of khaki shorts. This outfit must have been so awkward with someone else but Nero pulls it off. On his hands is a tray of pancakes and two milkshakes. He grinned at me. “Good morning.” He smiled widely.

I said finally, my thumb brushing the curve of his tiny fist, “Can’t keep calling him little man forever.” She blinked at me, then back at him. “I… I don’t even know where to start.” “Just don’t say Eduardo,” I muttered. “I’m not raising a kid who sounds like he files taxes for the IRS.” She breathed out a laugh, “I wasn’t going to.” “Nero,” I let out. Her head turned, “Nero?” “It means strong. Fierce. It’s... fire,” I said, watching his chest rise and fall. “He came into this world fighting. It suits him.”

[Can you get me that one, please] Using his usual doe-eye pleading technique, Nero asked Audrey to buy him something. He knew this technique never failed to work before. The two were current walking around Brujeria when they come across a student from yellow realm peddling her product at the side of the street. "It's Vanity Mist, Nero. What do you even need that for? You're a cat, for crying out loud. You can clean yourself just fine." [What do you know? Just because we are seen obsessively cleaning ourselves with our tongue does not mean we love doing it. Don't get me even started with the hairball. Blegh!]

Nero is a wonderful colour of hazelnut brown almost golden as it shimmers in the sun. It doesn’t take Nero long to overtake Jordan and the fight was less than 3 minutes long as he managed to trick him and push him over. He didn’t need a lot of strength to do this just a clever move during an attack led by Jordan used to his own advantage. Pronounced as winner of the Game, Nero walks back to the tent followed by Samuel and Gordon. “Don’t you want to watch all the other contests?” Samuel rubs confused his head.

I added dramatically. “You looked like you needed help. People like that freak me out,” she said, wrinkling her nose in the cutest way possible. I breathed out, “You and me both, my saviour.” “It’s Penny,” she laughed. “So, what brings you here? Vacation?” “I'm here for school. Newton Prep,” I said, twirling a loose strand of hair nervously. “Me too!” she squealed, grinning. Her energy was contagious, and suddenly I felt less like a stranded nerd in a foreign airport and more like a normal human being.

I finally asked her out,and i felt somewhat nervous and it was new to me and i know i noticed the nerd because of that bet i had with Ash and Brian but now i think it was getting personal I went home and i told the new help to make a lemonade and bring it to my room and before i went into the shower i heard a knock on the door and i opened it and i took the tray from her hand and dropped it on my dresser and went to the bathroom for a quick shower and wore a black leather jacket and a white shirt with black jeans

“First and foremost, just because I’m nerdy and geeky doesn’t mean I’m wearing glasses, pal. You have eyes and you can see me not wearing any, it’s not like you’re reading a novel about me.” ‌ “Ugh, and who the heck refers his speech mistake as typo? Everybody knows that typo is for writing only....” mumbled Ned, toning down his volume as he didn’t want to make this longer than it should. He pitched a tent already in his pants and he wanted to spew it out. ‌

Nero chuckled. “My luck; now let’s try on you. What’s your name?” Nero asked, and Lena burst out in tears. “L…Linda Morgan,” she muttered, and Nero pulled the trigger, but the only sound that could be heard was the click sound; this made Lena stare at him in disbelief. “What psycho man?” Lena thought in disbelief as Nero pointed the gun at himself again. “My name is Kiel,” then he pulled the trigger at himself, and the click sound made Lena fall down on her knees.
