Disguised as a Nerd

Chapter 22

Once we are inside in his driveway, I admire how neat his house looks. It's a little smaller than mines but the color of the house makes it look beautiful. We all get out of his car and Asher pulls up at the same time. 

"I'm surprised you girls made it out okay after our mini race," jokes Noah. 

"Oh, they didn't," chuckles Ethan. 

I look at Amelia and Emily to find them looking like they have seen ghosts. 

"Haha, very funny, who drives like that?!" yells Amelia, well at least tries to but she looks horrified.

All three boys laugh at her remark like she is exaggerating.

"Honestly she has a point, it's dangerous to drive like that on a public road, what if you were to lose control?" I say trying to defend Amelia to not make her feel alone on this. Plus, it was an unresponsible action of them.

"It's kind of impossible when we have been driving like this for a long time, plus we have r-" begins to speak Noah but Asher gives him a small glare. 

"Dude, shut up," says Asher. 

I'm sure the girls are confused like me, what was he going to say?

"Anyways, let's go inside and start our fun studying session," says Ethan with a pained expression.

We all groan as we get reminded the reason why we might not even sleep at all tonight. 

"Oreos, Nutella, and ice cream! I don't mind not getting any sleep tonight," murmurs Noah as he stuffs himself with many Oreos.

"That's good because, with a mind of yours, you are going to need all the studying time you can have," jokes Asher. 

"Watch your ass fail instead," replies Noah with a sarcastic tone. 

"All of us are going to fail if we don't get started so who wants to start reviewing fluid resistance and terminal speed?" asks Emily.

We all groan knowing this is impossible.

For the next couple of hours, we took turns 'teaching'. The person who knew more about the subject the most volunteered to guide the rest of the group. 

Emily took IB Physics since she loves the class so much, I took over IB Calculus, Asher taught IB World History, Amelia was in charge of IB English, and Ethan spoke about IB Bussiness. Surprisingly enough, Noah volunteered to guide is over IB French. All I can say is that he has amazing grammar and it looks like he enjoys it. 

Once we are done and feel like we might do decent on these finals we all release a big sigh or yawn. We notice it's around two in the morning giving us a decent amount of sleep time. 

"Well, I'm sleeping now, so good night," murmurs Amelia and crashes onto one of the couches.

"I was going to ask if y'all want to sleep over but I'm guessing it's not needed since she already beat us to it," whispers Ethan as he looks at Amelia's sleeping figure. 

"You sure it's okay? Will your parents mind?" asks Emily.

"It's fine now I'll be back from leaving Amelia in one of the guest rooms," Ethan assures us and leaves with Amelia in his arms. Part of me is hoping Amelia is faking her sleep so she enjoys Ethan's nice gesture.

"Well, I'm not sure we are going to see those two again until morning," murmurs Noah with a sleepy face. "I'm tired though, let's go so I can show you the way to the rooms," says Noah.

Emily begins to follow him but both of them stop walking as I speak up, "you guys can go I'll clean up a bit and head to one of the rooms."

They both nod and at the same time, Asher leaves to another hallway. I didn't even remember he was here but oh well, I've been managing him well enough. 

"Vanessa, I'm sorry I forgot to show you your room," says Ethan out of nowhere managing to scare me a bit. 

"It's fine but could you tell me where your kitchen is?" I ask because I'm really thirsty.

"Oh sure, it's through the left hallway," Ethan says quietly while pointing towards that direction. I murmur a thanks and head into the direction he told me hoping I find it without getting lost. Luckily I find it without too much trouble but I find a person in the kitchen as well. 

I look at Asher's messy hair and exhale. I will just have some water and head out. 

No big deal right?

Wrong.

I managed to grab myself a glass of water and I started drinking but stupid Asher had to be... well stupid. He touched my shoulder and said my name out of nowhere which startled me. This caused the glass of water to slip out of my hands.

Now I'm seated on the cold floor, with glass pieces around me, I'm slightly bleeding, and a panicked Asher is way too close to me.

I repeat. 

Way to close...
