《Chasing the nerd ✓》Chapter 7|Noah
Advertisement
As I'm walking away, I feel my blood raising up to my head.I suddenly feel like chocking, so I unbutton my shirt to breathe a little better.
Why the fuck did I come here? I knew it was a huge mistake, so why did I do it?
Because you need a job, you jerk! My subconscious yelled at me and I signed.
Out of all places though, why I had to apply here? I wasn't going to, if that accident didn't happen, but now I seriously need the money.
I wanted to punch myself for my stupidity, but people were passing by. It would seem crazy, like I just escaped from a mental clinic, crazy.
Finally I reach the front glass door and I'm about to push it open when I heard fast click-clack's of someone's heels behind me.
"Noah, wait."
Oh, hell no.
I don't want to talk to her. For some reason whenever I look at her, I get enraged. Imagine what'll happen to me if I actually talk to her, and let me tell you jail is no place for a geeky guy like me. So I ignore her and step outside. But the click-clacks don't stop as I thought.
I felt her hand grabbing me and I was so surprised, I jerked it away with force and turned to face her. She was frowning, her eyebrows pulled together as she dropped her hand to her side.
"Would it kill you to talk to me for a second?"
"I have nothing to say to you," I turned my back again, but she kept chasing me. I felt a smirk creeping up on my face as I thought the irony of what is happening. Here I was, a nothing-guy being chased by the girl everybody chases. I mentally high-fived myself for doing the unthinkable.

Wait, am I actually enjoying this? What the hell?
"Geez, what's up with you? What do I have to say to leave me alone?" I turned to face her feeling really angry.
I couldn't exactly place what brought my anger, her chasing me or the fact that I secretly enjoyed it. I didn't dig any further. Bottom line I was mad, that's what matted.
"Wow, you really can't stand me, can you?"
"Well, I think that's pretty clear." I marked sarcastically and she was looking at me wandering.
"But, why? You don't even know me," she crossed her arms over her chest. For a split moment my gaze left her eyes and check out her chest.
Well, shit.
She shouldn't keep her hands there, they make her boobs stand out and I don't want that distraction. I quickly raise my sight to her eyes again, hoping she didn't see what just happened.
"Oh, but I do. See, your reputation precedes you." Pushing my glasses up I smiled, an evil smile, provoking her.
"Oh, please those are just rumors, maybe based on one or two real events, but mostly are assumptions of what people think. I'm not like that. I'm a lot more than that," she waved her arm dismissively in front of her and looked at me intensely , but still not angry.
What the fuck?
Does this chick ever feels anger or is she like some robot designed to just feel happy?
"See, now, I think you don't know what you're saying. To be more you would have to have a depth and you don't." I marked with hostility and she laughed, really enjoying the moment. I felt lost as I saw her smiling at me, her smile reaching her gray eyes.
"Wow, you are witty for a nerd. Mean one, for sure, but witty."

Ok. I'm pissed. See, the more I try to get her to feel angry and I fail miserably, the angrier I get myself.
Who responds with a laugh when someone calls them to their face shallow?
There's something seriously wrong with this girl.
"Why don't you let me pay for your car? You don't have to make everything so difficult."
"Is that how you make guys run after you? You pay them off?" something flashed in her eyes and she came closer, only a few inches separating our bodies. I had to shallow hard involuntarily.
She placed one hand on her waist and raised her eyes looking me through her thick eyelashes.
Fuck!
Seeing her now and feeling the warmth her body radiating, my mind gets cloudy and I feel slightly tighter in pants region.
Damn, she looked so hot.
Her lips were slightly open, her eyes seemed to have darkened a bit, never leaving my sight, and she looked so young and innocent. Sinner and saint at the same time.
Fuck!
Double fuck!
I shallowed again really hard, trying to hide the fact that my heart was beating a little faster and attempted to calm my breathing.
"You really think what's why they come? You don't see any other reason?" she said seductively and her voice was so soft, almost like a whisper. Biting her bottom lip, she looked at me again stroking gently my arm with her fingers, sending tingles up and down my back.
Things have gotten a little tight for me, as I was getting harder by the moment.
Damn it! Break the spell!
I stepped backwards and broke eye contact, lightly shaking my head. Think of things that make you sick. Like vomit and pineapples on a pizza. Or things that make you angry like Joffrey and Voldemort, I said to myself trying to cool down.
When I felt like myself again, I looked up at her. She was smirking devilishly with her arms crossed in her chest again. Great, that's what I need. More cleavage.
"Other than you being annoying, I don't see anything," Clearing my throat, I stated firmly, but she scoffed.
"Yeah, sure. Look, let me just give you a damn check and I'll be out of your hair. That's all I want."
"I don't care what you want. That's the problem with you. You're used to people yield to your every need. I'm not one of those people, so take that check and shove it up your ass. Are we done now?" I almost screamed. Man, she pushed my buttons. I didn't wait for a response I turned and left without looking back.
When I got into my car, I peeked at where I left her. She was still standing there looking at my direction frowning. I put the key in the ignition and the car hummed to life under me, calming my nerves and without as much as a thought, I drove off.
Out of sight, out of mind.

After the End: Serenity
We all want to believe we are heroes of our own story - unless we want to be the villain, of course. At the end of everything, the Final Reaper decided he hadn’t been a hero. Driven by a desire to right the wrongs he was subjected to, he killed everyone who wronged him or his people - which turned out to be everyone that wasn’t killed by someone else first. He'd won - but it was a hollow victory. Eventually, Order’s Voice found a way out. If the only existing being would agree to give up most of his power, the Voice could reset the multiverse to an earlier time with a few minor changes. Of course, the Voice couldn't ask it that way. It could only ask if the Final Reaper was willing to start over from when Earth was first brought into Order. It was an easy decision, and yet it wasn’t. Was he willing to go through eons of pain again to not be alone? Yes. In a heartbeat. Not that his heart beat anymore. Now it would. Perhaps he could even be a hero, this time. When he landed in his old body - more or less - on Earth, the Final Reaper once again became Thomas. He was both and neither. He needed a new name for a new life. Serenity. ------------------------------------------ While this is technically a System Apocalypse story, it's a System Apocalypse that is designed to have a large percentage of the population survive and prosper. There are a lot of problems that come with the appearance of the Voice, and it's entirely possible to lose. Earth has some special opportunities, but also special challenges. The first time around, Earth won the first round and lost the second. Serenity has ten years from when the Voice arrives to prevent that from happening. It will be a group effort; Serenity can't win alone - which is difficult for someone who's been alone for as long as he has. Of course, that's only his second priority. ------------------------------------------- Updates Daily A note on the nonhuman lead tag: He isn't human, and hasn't been human for a very, very long time (or maybe not long at all, depending on how you count it). He still thinks of himself as human, either way. The content warnings are mostly to give me room to write; this fiction is not intended to be edgy, but once in a while a character will swear or someone will get seriously injured. The cover image is a Chandra/Hubble composite image of VV 340 / Arp 302 / UGC 9618. While we're not going to space itself any time soon in the story, people from elsewhere are coming to Earth and Serenity will visit other planets. Plus, I like space imagery.

Bleen Fada - The Legendary Pathfinder
It had been decades since dreams started to kill. Today, it's finally over.Mahon was once a general and an impressive warrior. In his dreams. In Nightmare. There, he put an end to the war that plagued mankind for decades. In the real world, however, the war has been raging for millenia, and Mahon is weak, his body frail from all his years spent dream-fighting. But it's time for a new beginning. In a world he knows almost nothing about, he will struggle to climb back to power, a necessity if he wants to achieve his goal. But he doesn’t lack willpower. And he already reached the highest ranks before. Who is to say he can’t do it again? That is, if the Fada let it be… This story takes place in a medieval fantasy world. Swords and schemes are the common ways to assert your place among the powerful. This story follows Mahon on his journey back to power. Not a simple one, as he will uncover some of the deepest mysteries that had been buried deep down along the ages. As of now, 98% of my chapters are through Mahon’s PoV and I want to keep it that way. There will be no unending PoV swaps for multiple chapters. Although war/conflict is one of the main themes, it’s not really a story about war. Instead, expect fights, plots, foreshadowing, progression and adventure from these chapters. It’s my first time publishing a book, and English is not my native language. I hope you will enjoy the story and that you’ll be indulgent enough to point out my mistakes with kindness. I wish to grow as a better writer and provide something that will make you cheer for, and shiver in anticipation. As long as you’re not, it means there is something to improve. Note: It's a slow progression fantasy, and some have raised complaints about the depressing tones and slowness in some of the first chapters. Rest assured, it soon disappears as Mahon progresses.
