Innocent love of a bad boy

SHE IS NOTHING BUT EVERYTHING

 Neil’s P.O.V.

I was surprised to see both of them fighting like kinder garden kids. Her screamed made every student look at her direction. She was shivering so hard as if she had seen a ghost. Tyler was standing next to her desk and I wondered what he had done that made her scream so hard.

And what was that when she said that she thought there is a ghost in the class? Seriously???? Ghost???? Is she real? I wanted to laugh at her. She was a nerd and was invisible to everyone. But, she was cute, unlike other girls. Both Tyler and Gwen were shouting loudly her attempt of snatching the notebook from Tyler. She was really something.

I was sitting with Tyler in the cafeteria during lunch. We were discussing our next competition. My whole team was with us at our table. We had a football match after 15 days with our rival team of another school.

“We have to work on our strategies. Last time we merely escaped from losing the match. Though that was a tie, still we need to improve our game plan. I would like any suggestion that you all have”, I looked at them and everyone looked at each other.

“Our main weaknesses are our sweeping area, our defensive midfield and the area around the goal post. I have seen their a few last games. Their strategies in these areas are…. Awesome… we should have gone through their game plan… what’s say”, Tyler suggested us and everyone nodded.

“Not only their game plan but also…”, I was cut off by a sudden scream in the cafeteria and everyone looked towards the table from where someone was bursting her lungs…

“You did it, Gwen. I knew it”, a girl with long black hairs was screaming with Gwen. They were screaming and dancing. It seemed that they forgot that they were in the school canteen.

Suddenly Gwen's eyes met with my amused eyes and she grinned and stopped jumping. She immediately stopped the girl with her and gave me a sheepish smile while giving apologetic look to everyone. I shook my head and then looked towards my playmate.

“She is really something else”, Jack chuckled amusingly and I looked at him. It seemed that I was not the only one who noticed her often.

“She is a nerd bro. Unlike other girls, she is an active member of mathematics club, secretary of Techno Club and I even heard that she is in automobile and she also won gold in techno gamer online competition”,   I snapped my head towards Tim who just blurted out about Gwen.

“What???? Automobile???” Tyler exclaimed suddenly with opened wide eyes. It seemed that today was Gwen’s day.

“I thought she is invisible. I didn’t know she has a fan club”, I said while chuckling and all of them gave me and Tyler duh look. Did I really miss something?

“Don't tell me, Neil, that you haven's noticed her before. Yeah... I agree with you that… she played this invisible thing very well all these years, but… I mean… look at her man…..she has that cute look with a careless attitude. Above all, she is intelligent, smart and caring. She never thinks about how she looks and damn…… she never has worn those s**ty kind dresses”, Tony poured his heart out and I raised my brows on him.

“It will be better for us that we concentrate on our work in spite of her”. Tyler said in an annoyed tone and everyone snapped their heads to him due to his tone. What was wrong with him today?

“Cool bro… she is not of your type”, Tim winked at him and Tyler glared at him.

“And what exactly is my type?” Tyler made an annoyed face and Tim looked behind us.

“Babyyyyyy”, Tyler cringed at Grace’s voice without looking at her. I laughed mentally on Tyler. She was like a leech who had attached to him. She came to us and I signalled everyone to leave the table. I seriously didn’t like this girl. She was nothing but a fake. Everything in her was fake.

We all stood up and Tyler also stood up with us. We had still some times left in lunch and I didn’t want to spend my precious time listening to her nonsense. She was the cheerleader team captain and thought so highly of her. She almost had hit on every popular guy in the school. She seriously needed a brain check.

She stopped Tyler in his way while putting her hand on his chest and gripping her arms. He glared at once on her. Tyler was everything but not a player and he also didn’t like these fake dolls.

“Get off your hands from me, Grace”, he threatened her and she batted her fake lashes on him.

“You know that you like me then why don’t want to show in front of everyone?” she pouted and I felt like a gag. Ewwww…. Someone tell her please that she was far away from innocence.

“Do I have two heads, Grace?” he suddenly asked her and she gave him a confused look. He moved away her hand from his chest and pushed her a little away from him. She stumbled hard but one her friend held her.

“Do not ever try your tactics on me, Grace. I am not your play toy and I never will be”, he roared on her and she shivered in fear. I put my hand on his shoulder and he closed his eyes instantly.

She was about to say something when suddenly Gwen called him. “Hey…. Tyler…. Do you still want the calculus notebook?” I was confused now. When did Tyler and Gwen become friends? And when did Tyler start studying? Tyler also gave her a confused look and then she gave him a you-asked-me-so look. Suddenly Tyler faces expressions changed from annoyed to confusion and then recalling something.

“O yeah…yeah... do you have any free period today?” he looked at me and asked her gently. I was shocked due to the sudden change in his tone. He then went to her. All of us looked at each other in shock. Gwen… Tyler… friends???? How?????

“Yeah.. actually I am going to the library. If you are free then you can come with me”, she proposed and he passed a smile.

“How sweet of you, Gwen. I really owe you”, he gave her a puppy look and she rolled her eyes. Her friend was standing behind her and she was continuously staring Tyler. Grace had the same expression as us.

Tyler looked at me and then winked and I gave shrugged my shoulders in confusion. Tony put his hand on my shoulder while looking at them with wide eyes.

“When did this happen, Neil?” he asked totally surprised and I replied him in the same way, “I… don’t know man. He was okay before lunch”. We saw them getting out of the canteen. Gwen and her friends were walking ahead with Tyler on their trail.

“What the f**k she thinks about her. How dare she try to hit on Tyler? That s**ty b***h” Grace screamed on them and I was angry now. Before I could say anything, Jack scolded her in a cold tone. “Watch your mouth Grace. She was not like who needs someone to f**k her every time. Say one thing bad about her and then I will tell the whole school who is the s**ty b***h here”.

Grace was trembling like a shaky log. Her eyes were widened in shock. We all passed through their group glaring hard on Grace.

I was the last one and I stopped in front of her. I looked straight in her eyes and then said to her, “you should think before speaking a word, Grace. Maybe she is nothing but she is better than you”. Her jaw dropped on the ground and I scoffed and then passed.

She had to learn how to give respect to someone. I was really impressed with Gwen today. I don’t know why she came for Tyler but she saved Grace from his wrath.

“Okay guys… let’s meet after school in the ground. We will resume our discussion there”, I said to the rest of my team and they all nodded. Then we gave each other bro hug and then departed to our next class. Tyler had next class with me and I wonder whether he came or not.
