The Nerd In Disguise

Chapter 9

I did not know what Cameron had in mind to be dragging me here in the janitors closet, accusing me of flirting with her twin brother Grey, as we fell into a heated argument and boom.

The famous Cameron William of Creighton is now kissing and sucking my lips.

Locking lips with someone you like is magical. It's a special moment that just can't be beaten but you wouldn't want someone to use his or her lips as a way to shut you up.

"Lily.." Cameron whispered in between kisses and she gently caressed my face. I tried to turn away but my body did not want to cooperate, as i stood there dumbfounded. "Kiss me."

God knows how badly i wanted to concede my remaining dignity in exchange for Cameron's fiery kisses and just go with the flow but when i closed my eyes, all i was able to see was Aerin's stoic face gleaming behind my eyelids.

My lips suddenly felt cold as i caught hold of Cameron's shoulders and roughly pushed her away. "Please, stop.."

"Lily, I.." Cameron lips trembled and could not continue what she was trying to say but all i could do was stare at her face blankly. "I did not me-"

"You did not mean to?" I smiled bitterly at her. "What did i do to you to do this to me?"

"I'm sorry." Though i could feel the sincerity through her voice, the doubt in my heart was strong. "You provoked me!"

"Oh so it was my fault?" I asked between my cletched teeth.

"That is not it." Cameron shook her head eagerly as she walked closer and closer. "I got mad because you are accusing me of something i could not understand Elizabeth Andersen." My breath hitched because she was standing close to me. "And for who knows what reason i became a liar to you."

"As if you don't know?" I laughed hysterically like a psychopath. "Do you have amnesia or something?"

Cameron pinched the bridge of her nose. "Then tell me!" I flinched by how strong and loud her voice was. It's like thunder erupted inside this small room. "Or do you just want to get inside my pants-"

My jaw scrunched in impediment and my cheeks were hot as if all my emotions were floating over my head and about to explode. "Stupid." I whispered harshly before grabbing the collar of Cameron's shirt and pushed her hard against the wall. "In your pants ha!" Her eyes widened as i smashed my scotching lips and consumed her mouth.

When she did not move a finger, i took it as a oppurtunity to caress her arm and slither my tongue inside her mouth. A lopsided smirk tugged at the corner of my lips when Cameron let out a sexy moan as i massaged her breast but before she could enjoy what i was doing to her, i ended the kiss.

"Are you happy?" I whispered before i stepped back still gazing at Cameron, who had her eyes closed and was breathing hard.

She slowly opened her eyes. "How could you..."

"That is what you want from me right?" I questioned her but Cameron just remained silent. "But let me tell you this.." It felt like eternity as we stared at each other for awhile. "I won't fall to your feet like everybody does."

"No Lily." Cameron tried to reach for me but i avoided her touch. "It's not what you think."

My ears were already closed to hear any of her explanation or more the lies. Cameron is really good at playing games with your mind, especially with your heart.

"Oh shut up." I snorted as i picked up my book on the ground and walked towards the door. "Please spare me with your game and leave me alone." As i stormed out of the janitor's closet.

Actually, I have many things i wanted to say and ask her about lying to me but who i am in her life? Who am I to get angry if she has a relationship with Aerin. Who am I to Interfere? Who am I to act like she cheated on me? I'm just no one.

"You are late Ms. Andersen." The terrifying voice of my teacher made me freeze. So i stood at the door awkwardly while fourty set of eyes were looking at me. "Okay since you are new here, I will let this pass but next time you are getting a detention."

"Thank you." I said really lowly almost a whisper.

"Go to your seat." My teacher adjusted her thick spectacle.

I made way to my chair and silently sat down. As expected, Cameron ditch the class, well i hope i knocked some sense into her because i won't allow that famous cheerleader to manipulate me. I will make sure this is not the typical nerdy story you can read in books or watch in a movie.

I was greeted by a sea of faces when i got out of my first class as we are going to our respective room. There were people bumped into me but i did not apologize, some gave me a dead look but mostly just ignored me like i did not exist.

A smile formed on my lips when i saw a glimpse of Leslie standing in the middle of the busy hallway and waving at me with the biggest smile on her pretty face. I suddenly felt sick in my stomach when Aerin came into my eye of sight. There is no doubt that her beauty is divine and the light shined behind her making her more untouchable.

"If Aerin is not a bitch." Leslie suddenly appeared next to me as we both watching Aerin shoot me a glare before entering her class room. "I think she can surpass Cameron's popularity."

That is one thing i could not comprehend in every school. Why there was a pyramid kind of group? Of course on top is the Elite individual like the stereotype Ice Queen, Queen bee and the most popular guy. In the middle is the group of invincible players, jocks, pretty cheerleaders and at the lowest is us, ordinary students.

Well, I never wish to be part of any group because i rather be friends with everyone and enjoy our high school because for me we should be all equal, in oppurtunity.

"Are you okay?" Leslie asked concerned when she noticed my silence as we settled in our seats. "Is anything wrong?"

I gave Leslie an awkward smile. "Nothing is wrong." My eyes scanned every perfect details of her face. "But something happened."

Leslie's folded her arms over, her head tilting to the side and stared at me with those magnificent eyes. They make me feel safe and comfortable. "Would you tell me what it is?"

There is no doubt in my heart that i can trust Leslie. "Cameron." I took a deep breath. "She dragged me inside the janitor closet." I made sure that my voice was low and almost a whisper so no one could hear since most of my classmates were here. "She accused me of flirting with Grey, we got into argument and, and..."

Leslie's eyes squinted, questionably. I know she already knew what had happen. "Did she.." Her jaw hardened. "Kiss you?" I lowered my eyes at concentrated on my shoes, trying to find something new and interesting. My reaction gave away the answer. "That b***h!" Leslie stood unexpectedly. "I will-"

I quickly grabbed her arm and shook my head. "Hey, calm down." But the frown on her face did not vanished but deepened. "Don't worry, I had my sweet revenge."

"What revenge? Did you slap or kick her? Wait." Slowly, Leslie sat back down next to me. "You put Cameron inside the closet, lock her down until she-"

I leaned more closer to Leslie. "Oh Leslie, I did more than that." And whispered something to her. "I made sure Cameron will never forget."

•••

I stepped out of the car and stretched my arms. Oh gosh, I felt tired today both physically and mentally because after my father picked me up from school we headed straight to the Japanese restaurant and eat our favorite sushi at gyoza.

Now, All i want to do is sleep, cuddle with my pillow and thanks goodness tomorrow is Saturday. It only means no school tomorrow especially no Cameron.

The wind blew hard against me making me shivers in coldness. I hugged myself as i walked towards our house but stopped when i noticed something glistering against the moon light.

"Oh gosh." I took a large gulp.

"It's yours." My father whispered. I covered my mouth to prevent myself to scream in excitement. Oh gosh, can you blame me? This is my first car and not just an ordinary one but my dream car, a red and shiny Alfa Romeo Giulia. "Do you like our suprise?"

I turned my head towards my Father and hugged him tightly. "Are you kidding me Father? Only like?" Then i pulled way from him and looked at him through my eyeslashes. "I love it!"

Father chuckled. "Go and check your car." He gestured me towards the car. "Your Mom told me to remind you of something..."

"What is it?"

Father started walking with a emotionless facial expression. "No s*x in the car."

"Father!" I laughed and trailed behind him.

"If you don't believe me then ask your mother." Father stated and handed me the key. "Test it and drive carefully."

I excitedly took the key and unlocked my car. The inside is smell brand new and leather. Everything about this car is so sexy and expensive. I will thank Mother later because she is not home and has a meeting with John. I drove around the city, the smile did not vanish on my face the whole time and completely forgot everything that happened at school.

You know, some things are not worth to think about it. It is such a waste on time and energy, so why not start your day with all the love of the world. I woke up early and told my parents that i will go to the book store to buy a new book of Hera Parker, The Ex and Whys.

I discovered the BookWorm when we first moved here in L.A, it was located in an old house and divided into distinct sections. There were few people when i got inside, groovy music could be heard in all part of the store. I could not help but smile by the sight of the colorful shelves perfectly set up in the middle.

My heart fluttered while scanning every book that were waiting for me to be read and touched. There were horror, sci-fi, suspense and romance novels but to my dismay, the shelves belongs to Hera Parker is spotless empty.

"Damn!" I muttered under my breath when i read the No more books available sign. I took a deep breath and continued walking around, wishing to find the book that i want but still could not find one. "Ahm, excuse me." I said to the old woman in the counter who was busy laughing while watching something from the computer.

"Oh hi." She greeted cheerfully and turned to face me. "Did you find what book you need? Jane Austen, J. K. Rowling-"

"Hera Parker." I stated with a smile. "But there are no more books on her shelves. Do you have any in stock or something?" The old woman adjusted her glasses. "I really need it."

"Hera Parker.." She murmuned and turned back her attention to computer. "Lemme check." I have waited for one or two minutes. "I'm sorry Ms. but My Ex and Whys by Hera Parker is already sold out. Someone bought two copies awhile ago."

"Ohh." I sigh while running my fingers through my hair. "When will you be restocking, or can i reserve a copy?"

"Tomorrow is our restocking but we don't do reservation becsuse it's first come first serve." The old woman replied.

"Mmm. I understa-" I was cut off when someone stood next to me and put a book over the counter. Guess what? It was the book i was searching for.

"I heard that you are looking for this." The unfamiliar voice spoke, my throat felt dried when i fully saw the beauty in front of me. Sweet jesus. Any adjectives in dictionary can't describe how beautiful the girl is. "I bought two but you can have one."

My lips slightly parted because i could not believe what she was saying. "You are giving me that?"

The beautiful girl smiled so big and bright. "Yeah." I felt my cheeks grow hot by the way she was looking at me. "Don't worry, it is free."

"It's free?" I asked in confusion. The beautiful girl nodded. "No, no. I will pay for this."

"No, it's fine." She shook her at me. "But if you tell me what your name is, i will consider that as a payment."

"Oohh.." My face reddened as i cleared my throat. "I'm Eliz-"

"Lily!" Someone screamed my name but this time i knew who it was. A frown set on my face when i came face to face with this conceited and annoying person. I think she intentionally stood between me and the girl i was talking to. "What are you doing here?"

"Are you stalking me Cameron?" I questioned her with an irritation in my voice.

"Stalking you?" Cameron raised her eyebrows. "Yesterday you were sucking m-"

"Shut up!" I hissed under my breath while covering Cameron's mouth. "You are going to ruining my life!" Cameron only shook her head.

"Is everything okay?" The beautiful girl interrupted us.

I immediately releaed Cameon from me and composed myself. "I'm sorry about that, she forgot to take her medicine." Cameron just huffed. "Anway, I'm Elizabeth but you can call me Lily."

And when we were about to shake hands Cameron took the beautiful girl's hand and had a staring competition. "I'm Cameron."

I don't know if it is only me but i felt the tension between them and it seems like the other girl did not get intimidated by how powerful Cameron's presence and s*x appeal.

"I'm Eris." The beautiful girl said. "And like Eris in Greek Mythology. I'm indestructible and I do no fear competition."
