《The Nerd that turned out to be Vampire-ish [Wattys2015]》CHAPTER 16: The trip towards truth.
Advertisement
For the first time in my life, I literally am speechless.
How can things happen so fast with these guys? I've known them for less than a month.
First, I hated Tristan and always feel like shoving his head on his ass every time we cross paths. Then I got to know him and he's not that bad, I actually am happy with him.
After that was the pancake incident where everything just went bizarre overload. Later in the mall's rooftop, he then told me that I should stay away from him without leaving me any clues why.
And now he's here and my heart won't stop banging the walls of my chest.
Calm down he's just nerd!
I'm confused if I'm scared or happy to see him. With all this thoughts racking my head, I let out the loudest ugh in my history of ughness.
Then he looked at me, so did the rest of the students in the theater, even Mr. Paredes. Oh shit. I slid down my chair and disappeared underneath, like a cockroach smelling an insect killer.
Oh mother-goose-fucking-chupakabra! What to do? I'm now cursing with the weirdest combos. I'm seriously on panic mode.
Then I felt someone poke my shoulder. I looked up to see Daisy. "RUN." She said but her face wasn't on me but onto the stage, where the person with a microphone was talking a while ago, Mr. Paredes.
Shit. He must have thought the ugh was for him.
I crawled under the theater's chairs, didn't even mind the stares that I'm feeling on my back, soon it'll probably make a hole as big as my fist.
Finally I've reached the theater's big ass door, and someone was holding it—opening it for me. I looked up to see Mr. Paredes. "I'll be honored to escort you out, Ms. Sanchez."
Oh fuck.
I stood up, dusting off my skirt that was full of dust bunnies. "Uhm. I can explain."

"Save that at the guardian's office. You'll have an appointment with her, to teach you about proper manners." Ouch. That was worse than a slap.
"Yes. Sir." I abided, clearly I have no right to fight. He's the one with authority, and I should've controlled what goes out my mouth. "I'm sorry."
"I'm going to mark you absent on this." I just nodded.
I sighed mentally, well, I can always ask Daisy about the conference. Obviously there will be a test or reaction paper about this next week. I need to ace it to make up for this mess.
"Okay. You can go out now. Please be mindful next time Ms. Sanchez." I nodded again, I feel like I'm turning into a bubblehead.
That was so embarrassing, probably a sure spot on the school's paper. The girl partying with the dust bunnies.
Then I sneezed, my allergies acting up. And I'm now currently pasted on a wall outside the theater while rubbing my nose. When someone suddenly stood beside me, and I won't be surprised if it's Mr. Paredes, who will lecture me more about manners. I looked and it was Tristan.
"What a pity sight." He said and handed me his checkered handkerchief.
"Oh shut up." I took his hanky and blew on it. I thought he'll be disgusted but he laughed instead.
"You never fail to surprise me hobbit." He's eyes were warm, no sign of the darkness or the sadness, when we last met.
"What? By blowing my nose?" My voice is now cloggy. Then I sneezed again. Seriously, I need to take some anti-allergies soon.
He laughed. "In general." He paused and gave me his half empty bottled water. "Here."
I said no, but he insisted and won't stop pushing the bottle to my face. Should I tell him that what his trying to do will count as an indirect kiss? I sighed and took his water.

"Persistent bitch. Hope there's no poison in this." I then gulped the remaining water. I'm surprised at how thirsty I actually was. I need more. So, I power walked towards the stairs that would lead to Cafa's mini café.
"Where are you going?" He asked as he followed me.
"To buy more water." He stayed silent, as he walked behind me like a tail.
We've reached the café and I bought three more bottled waters, then I handed him one. He gave me a dumbfounded look.
"Payment for earlier." He shook his head but I didn't stop on pushing the ice cold bottle to his face. He laughed and took it, realizing I was imitating his earlier actions.
"You seriously are thirsty." He said as he watched me drink the two remaining bottled water in a snap.
"I was running all morning, plus the crawling a while ago. What do you expect?"
"So that's why you're smelly." He said, and I punched his arm.
"Never tell a girl she's smelly, even if she is." He laughed. Then he took the now empty bottles on my hand and threw it to the trash.
"Let's go. I have your bag in the car and your smelly shoes."
I gave him the holy middle finger, and as expected he'd give the twin version. I actually missed this. Well it's not like, I'm happy being given a double-fuck-you, but it's kind of our signature thing.
"I guess the stay-away-from-me warning is long gone now." I blurted my thoughts out, as we walked towards the parking lot.
"Maybe you're the one who'll say that when you hear the rest of the story." His words took me off balanced and shocked the hell out of me.
And again he made me speechless. He went inside the car and I thought he'll just give me my bag and shoes, and go back inside.
"What are you waiting for? Get in." He said as he peeked to the statue standing still outside his car, me.
Dumbfounded, I did what I was told. "Wait. Where are we going?" I said as I got inside.
He puts on my seatbelt, which was awkward but weirdly hot. Wait, did I just say hot? I mentally kicked my ass. What the heck is wrong with me?
"Were going on a trip. You don't have class tomorrow right?" I nodded still shocked about his sudden chivalry actions. Is this Tristan? Or is this Will that got face surgery to look like Tristan.
It was late before I realized what I just gotten myself into. "A trip?" I shrieked.
"Yes. And you have no choice. I'm taking you with me." With that said, he immediately started the car and bolted out of the school's grounds.

To be honest. I'm writing without a fixed plot in mind. I'm following a hazy vision for this story and probably will just go with the flow, to where my imagination takes me. So, who will come with me? Raise your eyebrows and sing the Little Einstein song.
*drum rolls* in 3, 2, 1...
So, were going on a trip in our favorite rocket ship,
Running through the skies Little Einstein,
Climb aboard get ready to explore,
There's so much to find Little Einstein,
Where going on a rocket start the countdown,
5, 4, 3, 2, 1
(And, I don't know the next words)
Actually, I'm not sure with the lyrics either, and I was singing while writing it.

Holding our own candle tightly, we resolved to ignore them and continued our discussion. It was a matter of life or death after all.
