Bad Girl's Nerd

Chapter 25: Yep, I am officially fucked, in a bad bad way..

With everything going on, I miss Nana even more. If she was alive I would have ran back to her instead of living here and hurting myself everyday. But now, I literally have nowhere to go. And I feel all alone in this world.

My phone beeps. I see a message from Julian asking me if I wanted to watch a movie together. I smile a little, feeling better already.

I am comfortably watching 'Mission: Impossible-Fallout' in my bed with Julian on the phone. We both are barely paying attention to the plot, focusing only on Henry Cavill. We are crazily fangirling over him, pausing and replaying all his scenes.

"Lia? Are you asleep?" Max pokes his head in my room.

I pause the movie and put Julian on hold. Max comes and sits on my bed.

"It will get better" he mumbles. I look at him confused.

"The family thing. I know you must be feeling left out, but its only because you've been away for so long. Give them time, and you will meet everybody and soon you will feel like family" Max smiles sympathetically.

I return a watery smile. I know my mom would never let it happen, but I am glad that at least Max cared. He gets up kissing my forehead.

I return back to the movie with Julian screaming that he wants Henry Cavill to sit on his..

You get it..

.......................................

"I was not able to sleep last night. I kept thinking about him!" Julian sniffs.

"Yeah, me too" I sniff.

"Thinking about who?" Ian asks suspiciously. Max, Alex, Dylan and Luke are looking at us curiously. First period is about to start as students hurriedly scramble in the corridors.

"The one and only. Henry Cavill" Julian admits. I let out a dreamy sigh.

"Seriously?" Dylan eyes us weirdly.

"Of course. And as a matter of fact I know Lia has changed her phone's wallpaper to a shirtless picture of Mr. Cavill" Julian smirks. On cue, my ears redden.

"I-I did not" I lie. Everybody chuckles at my flustered form as Julian opens my phone and proves everybody that he was not wrong.

I snatch my phone glaring at Julian, keeping it back in my pocket but not before admiring my wallpaper again, fondly rubbing off imaginary dirt from my screen.

...............................

"I am going to get another sandwich" Julian gets up.

I nod taking out my phone to check my messages. We are on our usual table eating lunch.

"Yikes!" I shriek dropping my phone. I immediately pick it up checking for any cracks.

"I thought I saw a spider" I answer to all the questioning looks I got. Thank God Julian was not there to point out I was lying. Everybody nods in understanding getting back to what they were doing.

I shot a vicious glare to Luke who innocently took a bite from his sandwich, his eyes glinting mischievously. The damn boy, had changed my wallpaper from shirtless Cavill to dorky Luke.

Fine.

It was sexy Luke.

But still!

My phone wallpaper was now a selfie in which Luke sassily raised one eyebrow. I open my gallery and sure enough I find many selfies, one in which he was showing off his biceps.
