26 Nerd Stuck

" What's in the bag Megan?", Mabel asked softly and Megan looked at her confused. Megan's confused eyes met Mabel's and she quickly realized she had walked into the house uninvited and even started unpacking.

" Can I sleep here tonight? I don't want to be home and I have a lot to tell you", Megan said and paused what she was doing.

" Ok, I'll put your things upstairs in the guest room and you'll soon be ready to do anything, okay am just going to put your things in the guestroom", Mabel said and helped Megan with the luggage upstairs, she felt a bit awkward non the less she convinced herself to be happy that Megan was ready to tell about everything.

Megan watched Mabel's silhouette disappear through the stairs and she checked her phone to see twelve unread messages.

She didn't bother reading any of them, she just went straight to reply:

At a friend's place, can only come back home till Sunday

Afterwards she turned off her phone completely shutting herself from the outside world. No sooner had she done that did Mabel walk downstairs.

Megan didn't waste time and pointed to the sofa, " Can we talk?", she asked and Mabel softly nodded. She walked straight to the one of the couches and sat on it while Megan observed that Mabel wasn't actually wearing her glasses.

" Where are your glasses?", she asked and Mabel felt herself go still..... the one person that came into view was Holden but did Megan really want to hear about Holden now?

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

Holden stared at a piece of paper while his hands kept playing with it, he was in deep thoughts when he felt someone enter his room.

" Yo Holden, aren't you supposed to be like reading the Bible and checking if there are some places that says Brownie and I can be together", Luke asked referring to the fact that Holden had taken up the part of being the priest of the wedding but instead Holden's face darkened.

" Don't ever fucking call her Brownie.... You don't fucking love yourself anymore Huxley", Holden said irritated and immediately folded the paper and slipped it in his jean pockets.

" Relax Holden I just asked a question and the name is Luke. Infact you know what? Instead of having to listen to you sulk about my wedding with your tutor, I'm going to go practice my dramatic lines", Luke said not planning to let Holden ruin his mood anytime soon.

He left and just as soon as he did Jace walked in. " Holden can I borrow your laptop, I'll bring it back soon", Jace said and was about walking away when he noticed Holden not moving from his spot.

He sighed and walked casually over to Holden. He patted him on the shoulder but Holden still didn't show signs of answering him meaning that he could hear everything but was purposely being a snob.

" What's wrong?", Jace asked softly and Holden stared at him blankly for a while before his lips pulled up in a slow smirk...

" I've got a nerd stuck on my head".
