The Alpha Nerd and The Bad Boy

Chapter 17

Jason

It was a start of a new week filled with writing mid-term exams. When I entered school this morning there were people with books in their hands walking around. I carefully went around so that I didn't disturb anyone. When I reached my locker Max was already there leaning against one of the lockers with his face buried in a book.

I walked toward him and snatched the book out of his hand and said, "hey my handsome nerd, how are you doing?". Max smiled at me and pulled me in for a hug before saying," I missed you, my sexy bad boy. Even though we saw each other yesterday it feels too long sweetheart". Suddenly the bell rang signalling that it was time for class, so we both let go of each other. I did not care who saw us like this because Max was now my boyfriend.

The morning classes were a breeze since all we did was revise the topics for the exams. It was finally lunch time so Ollie, Roxy and I went to the cafeteria together. We stood in line and got our food. The cafeteria was packed and it took time to find a table to settle down, I looked for Max and his friends but they had not arrived in the cafeteria yet. The three of us started discussing the exam that we had before lunch when I heard a chair being pulled beside me.

Max took a seat next to me and held my hand under the table. Erick and Raven took their seats next to Ollie and Roxy. Then James came over and asked if he could sit with us, and Max told him to take a seat. Ollie and Roxy did not know him but smiled at him politely and started to ask all kinds of questions to get to know him better. Poor James was so flustered with all the attention that kept stammering, it was kind of cute.

Just then Tammy Jenkins came over to our table and said," Jacey boo what are doing here sitting with a bunch of losers. Come and sit at our table it would be a lot more fun if you know what I mean". Yuck did she just call me "Jacey boo" that sounds horrible and there was no that I was going to sit at her table. Max glared at her as he tightened his grip on my hand, I slowly started to massage the hand so that he would calm down. Ollie and Roxy looked at her in distaste before looking at me with their eyebrows raised.

Erick, Raven and James were just watching the scene unfold in front of them, it was as if they were waiting for me to make the next move. I sighed and thought it was finally time to end this drama that has been going on and looked at Tammy. I said," Tammy I am extremely happy sitting with my friends. Please leave as I am not interested in sitting with you or your friends. Also, don't call me Jacey boo as we are not even close to each other or dating, I don't like it at all. Plus I am in a relationship right now and my lover will not appreciate it if you tried to flirt with me again".

Tammy was fuming and then she said," where is your so-called lover? I don't see her maybe you are just making that up so that I will go away. Listen to me Jacey boo I know we have not made it official, but I know you like me. Just wait and watch I will get you back and once your mine I will never let you go". When Tammy said those words Max snapped and then he said," stay the hell away from my boyfriend bitch because he is mine. Jace will never be yours and if come close to him again I will not let you off the hook. So back off otherwise you have another thing coming for you, now shoo. I want to spend time with my boyfriend and you are getting in the way".

Tammy along with all the others in the cafeteria stared at us with their eyes and mouth wide open. Our friends at the table kept looking back and forth between Max and me, then they noticed us holding hands. Tammy stormed off muttering to herself and Max yelled," there is nothing to see here, go back to what you were doing". Everyone in the cafeteria resumed what they were doing, but they kept glancing at our table. Max sat down and pulled my hand over the table to hold it, now that everyone knew about us it didn't matter.

Our friends finally snapped out of it and Roxy was the first to speak," when did it happen you guys? we need to know all the details and everything. but now is not the time, how about after school today over some ice cream?". Max and I agreed with Roxy as lunchtime was coming to an end. We all dumped our trash and headed out of the cafeteria, there were still 5 mins of lunchtime left so I went to my locker to put away some things.

Max followed me to my locker and stood there with his hands in his pockets before saying," I am so sorry Jace I should have asked you before I told everyone that you are my boyfriend. It's just that when that bitch Tammy said you were hers Ares could not take it anymore. Shit, it is all my fault I am so sorry Jason". When I heard Max say those words I realized that he only called me by my name in serious situations. It was kind of nice to see his possessive and jealous side. I didn't mind that he told everyone about our relationship, I was glad to know that he likes me so much.

I stood in front of Max and held his face and said, "babe I am not mad at all for what you said in the cafeteria. Thankfully now Tammy got the message and she will stay away from me. Now cheer up and stop pouting like a baby. We have bigger things to worry about like our mid-terms and also giving our friends an explanation after school. Let's get to class and as we running late". Both of us ran to our next class and took our seats luckily the teacher had not come in yet, so we took out our books and got ready for class to begin.

The rest of the day went smoothly and it was time to go home. But as soon as Max and I stepped into the parking lot our friends were waiting there. Looks like we cannot escape from an explanation. All of us got into our cars and drove to Baskin robbins to get some ice cream. Once we arrived at the shop everyone ran inside to place their orders, while Max and I took our time to place our orders. Finally, everyone got their orders and settled down in one of the booths at the end of the shop.

Then Ollie looked at me and said," now spill the beans Jace, how did the two of you end up going out with each other?". I took a deep breath and then said," well it happened over the weekend. I stayed back to spend some time with Max and well he asked me out and I said yes. I agreed to date him because I like spending time with Max and he makes me happy. It's a little sudden but I hope you guys support our relationship". Then Roxy said," of course, we support you guys it came as a surprise but if you guys are happy that's all that matters". All the others nodded their head in agreement and smiled at both of us.

I could not tell Ollie and Roxy the other reason we were together is that we are mates since they didn't know about werewolves. I don't like keeping secrets from them, but I will ask Max if I could tell them the other reason sometime soon. We chatted for a bit longer before it was time to head home. After we were done with our ice cream all of us went outside and all the others got in their respective cars to go home. Max and I did not get into our cars to go home instead we walked toward a hill that had a huge tree on top.

Once we got there I sat down with my back against the tree and Max laid his head on my lap. I gently ran my hand through his soft hair as we enjoyed the evening breeze. I looked at Max as I had the urge to kiss him, so I lowered my head and placed a gentle kiss on his lips. His eyebrows rose for a second in surprise, but his hand reached up to hold my head in place. It was the perfect end to a hectic day.

Wait for the next update...
