That Nerdy Kid?

Chapter 5: It's A Small World We Live In

"Izzy! Wait up!" Someone called as I was walking over to my car with Carly at the end of the day.

I turned around and saw Kyle, Andrew and Maxwell sprinting towards me. I smiled at them.

"Hey!" I yelled to them.

They were soon standing in front of me, panting.

"You guys need to work out more." I teased. They just rolled their eyes in reply.

"We wanted... To ask... You... If you... Want... To come over... To my house... Today..." Kyle said in between breaths.

"Come over? Like to your house?" I asked.

"Yeah." Maxwell wheezed out.

"We get together at each others house everyday after school." Andrew explained.

"We do our homework and hang out." Kyle added.

"Yeah! Of course I'll come over!" I replied, trying to contain my excitement.

"Sweet!" they all said together.

"I'll text you my address. Just come over once you're ready." Kyle explained.

"Great. I'll, uh, see you guys soon!" I smiled.

"Bye, Iz!" Maxwell said.

I got into my car and Carly hopped into the passenger seat.

"They're cute." she said out of the bloom.

I looked over at her surprised. "Uh, yep. Yes, they are." I laughed.

"Like, super cute." she added.

"Super cute indeed." I replied.

"So, do you like any of those three guys?" she asked.

"Not sure yet. I don't know them too well yet. Maxwell's definitely the goofy one out of them all."

"He seems like it. He's very giddy." Carly put in.

"Yep. Kyle has a lot of spunk, and is very confident."

"Seem's like my type of guy." Carly winked.

"But you like Brian." I reminded her.

"I know." she laughed. "And what about Andrew?"

"He seems... Really cute and shy. Actually, not shy, but closed off? And he's really good at teasing and comebacks." I explained.

Carly nodded her head in understanding. "They seem like cool guys."

"They are."

I revved the car to life, and quickly sped out from the school parking lot.

Once I got home, I made myself food straight away.

"Oooh Elly!" Ethan sang as he ran down the stairs, into the kitchen.

"Hello Ethan." I laughed.

"So, watcha doing today?" he asked rocking back and forth on his feet.

"I'm going to a friends house."

"What friend?" he asked as he stopped rocking.

"Kyle..." I replied calmly.

"Whose this Kyle? He's a boy, correct? I've never heard of him." he questioned.

"Yes, of course he's a boy. And you've never heard of him because I've only been friends with him for about a week."

Here comes his protective brother side.
