THE NERD ALPHA Chapter 22

Okay.

Let's say Luke is a guy who is fickle, inconsistent or has no convictions. Up to you. After all, Luke had not planned it. Neither was in the scenario that night. In essence, all of this happened because of one word; Accidental.

So the chronology is like this. Luke, who had been boasting to Valentina Miller since yesterday afternoon about the girl he is currently with, now has to bear with his own words. Luke might not have come to Amy and Andrew's party, but his pride in Valentina was much higher than not being there. On the other hand, it is difficult for Luke who is just an ordinary girl to be able to get beautiful girls overnight. Because all the pretty girls at this party were more attracted to the jerk boys who carried the fun vibe.

And that asshole, if not the weed smoking Reymond Beck, well, Louise. Louise Randall, she is even present at school between being there and not. Last year, Louise Randall was officially kicked out of school because she was caught raping her aunt's male goat. You madman!

Well, that's why Luke didn't expect much other than the idea of asking Amy to introduce him to a girl friend of his.

"That's amazing, you asked to be introduced to a girl? What about Val?" she asked.

"Ah! It's him, he's again! How many times do I have to tell you, Amy, that I don't want to be near him?!"

"Hey, why are you mad at me anyway?" Amy grumbled "All right, all right. What about Lindsey O'brian?"

"Isn't he close to Jessica Jane ? Absolutely no. "

"Or Kristen Damon? She's pretty okay."

"Yeah…ah. But I don't understand what he's talking about."

"Yeah, well. He has his own world," Amy nodded in agreement. "Or Karen Smith? She's still Andrew's cousin."

"Okay."

Well, it should be all smooth sailing here, right? Unfortunately no. The girl named Karen did meet Luke once, but then she never contacted him again. Even the next day, Luke found that he was actually walking in the school corridors with girls from the swim club. Damn it.

Luke actually had no problem asking Rei to go out. But because girls don't seem to be the type to leave easily—Luke also still feels awkward being alone with him. So Rei also died as an option that I had.

Well, now Luke is desperate. He didn't know who to blame later on Valentina Miller. Meanwhile, neither Amy nor Andrew didn't want to understand and kept calling him since this afternoon.

"Luke, you came, right?"

"Luke, what time are you coming?"

"Hey, Luke, let me get Andrew to pick you up, okay? Parties aren't as fun without you."

"Luke, where are you? On your way?"

Wow, that's really annoying. Therefore, Luke begged Ben to let him use the car that night and had to return it before twelve o'clock at night.

"Before twelve o'clock?" Luke almost couldn't believe he heard Benjamin's condition, “Am I Cinderella?! Oh, come on, Ben. I, right, rarely leave the house. Why not let me to…”

"Are you going or not?"

"Okay. I'll be home before twelve o'clock."

Luke was forced to agree. There is no other choice. Around eight forty-five, Luke arrived at the party. At Zemba Lake. Pretty cool location with a clear night view, a row of forest trees across from the lake, and rocks that glisten in the moonlight. If you think that's the only villa there, you're dead wrong. Along Luke's way through, there are about ten or twelve houses and villas built around the Zemba lake. Three of them are having parties, including the villa that Andrew is renting tonight. Luke also wouldn't be surprised if there were already a lot of people there because Andrew had indeed invited a lot of people. Anybody. Even if it's Pamela and the gang. But, well, Luke wasn't going to complain because it was his party after all. As long as Dawson doesn't mess with him tonight, Luke is fine with that.

Well, now let's just get to the point; that is when Luke is chilling on one of the shores of the Zemba lakes because he's desperately avoiding the crowds at this party—they're all like a bunch of crazy people going to dance every time the DJ turns on the music. Luke also had to play hide and seek with Valentina Miller. Like for example, Luke would hide behind the jumbo-bodied Cameron Breille when he saw Valentina about to pass in front of Luke or he had to sneak into the bathroom for twelve minutes when Valentina would call Luke. That's how it is. Luke really didn't want her to know the fact that Luke did n't bring anyone to this party.

So Luke decided to sneak out the back door of the villa. Luke was biting a cigarette while looking for a lighter in his trouser pocket when suddenly his eye caught someone leaning against the rocks up ahead. He had shoulder-length hair, an earlobe piercing, short pants, and a thick black jacket. Not far from it, there is a small bench, a fishing pole, and a small oil lamp. The girl nodded her head at Luke politely.

The girl greeted, "Hi."

"Hi," Luke replied. He almost forgot the cigarette on his lips because he thought of this one thing, that it felt like Luke had heard that person's voice before. But, really, Luke doesn't know who this mysterious girl is.

"Do you mind if I come closer?" asked the girl.

Not saying yes right away, Luke scrutinized him up and down, making sure he wasn't going to do anything to him like dragging him into the lake and drowning Luke in there or hitting me on the back of the neck. However, after believing he was a good person, Luke nodded. After all, however, Luke was a man and naturally, his strength was much stronger than that girl.

"Okay."

He walked closer, but clearly kept his distance. Smiling awkwardly as he raised his hand. Again say hello, 'Hi'.

"Why are you outside alone?"

“Oh, I just want to catch some air and want to smoke. And you yourself, why are you out here?” Luke asked back and had time to nod his head at his fishing rod which was still calm on the edge of the lake.

"I? Oh, I'm not the one who was invited to your friend's party, really. Well , actually I …”

"Luke?"

Damn it! That cheers girl again. Valentina Miller who is now interrupting Luke's conversation with the mysterious girl. Even though it was good he hadn't bothered for the past hour—yeah, that was because Luke always hid himself whenever Valentina came into my eyes. Then now he was there. Closed the back door of the villa and walked towards the lakeside where Luke and the girl were with displeased looks.

"What are you doing here, Luke?"

"As you can see, of course," Luke replied.

“And… who is he?”

Good question, Luke thought. Luke swiftly grabbed the pierced boy's arm, put his arm around his and showed something that wasn't right at Valentina. Don't forget to put on the happy smile that Luke has.

And Valentina, with her bitter tone, said, “So, she's the girl you mean? He… that person?”

" Well , yes."

“ Are you sure? ”

Valentina's eyes narrowed as if still unsure. At the same time, Luke felt that the powder girl next to him was trying to get Luke's hand off his arm. So, before he could answer Valentina's question, Luke had already spoken in a voice that he tried to keep as loud as possible.

“ Of course. Now you've seen it, haven't you? So, stop bothering me.”

Luke couldn't remember what Valentina had said at that time because the wind that blew blew his words away. However, what Luke remembered after that, after Valentina Miller came back inside with a look so disappointed, the girl next to Luke quickly let go of her arms and made a strange look.

“Okay, let me get this one thing straight, Luke. I did try to approach you, but that does not mean I like you. And, remember this too, after you made me look like a criminal at the station yesterday, but now you're making it sound like we're dating? You're crazy, huh ? ”

With all those words, Luke could only gape. Firstly, the mysterious girl knew his name. Second, he brought up the incident at the station. Wait, don't tell me he's this…

Luke stuttered as he said this, “You… what do you mean? Are you the one who…”

And when the girl put up the hood of her jacket, then covered her face with her hands, now Luke knew that figure. The mysterious one who broke my bedroom window Luke as well as the jerk girl who stalked him on the train.

“Yes, it's me. Do you still not recognize me too ?”
