That was the first time Isabella called me that. Ever. "I doubt six minutes really qualifies me for that term, but I'll take it. Are you going to be okay?" She nodded and wiped the tears from her face. I let go of our embrace and went back to cuddle with Brooke. "Good night, little sister."
"Hey," Isabella objected. Even though she called me big brother, a term she meant in the protective connotations of the phrase, I knew what I said would bother her. She didn't like the thought of being lessor than me. What kind of brother would I be if I didn't tease her just a little? But she surprised me as that one word was her only objection as she then replied, "Goodnight Heartache."
For some reason that name didn't bother me anymore. Perhaps we all grew up a little during this spring break.

texster3 months agoNo real obstacles, plus guys in high school, and especially ones who have been tortured, teased, and bullied for years, are this well adjusted. He was the least believable of the characters…
Still, a decent read - I enjoyed it.
Anonymous9 months agoIf the author reads this, please write a sequel with the/new relationship(s) in school, new beginnings and all that. This definitely needs more! 10/5 stars
Highwayman3264about 1 year agoVery nice story. If you ever write a sequel, you should focus on Isabella finding love with another nerd. It'd be pretty to sweet read.
Anonymousover 1 year ago"And they would have to get through Eric and me first"? LOL I don't think anyone is worried about the wimp who gets bullied the entire story and never stands up for himself. Except to a girl of course. MC is a clown
Anonymousover 1 year ago>>> silly teenager fantasy where a loser stops being loser, without changing himself completly. nope, never happens in real life, 2starrs
I am guessing the person who wrote this was a teenage, when they wrote it. He was not a loser. He was bullied, but he was not a loser. Once high school is over, if you go to college, you will find things can be different. The academic work is more difficult. Many are taking on debt to be there. Many that did not give a shit about academics are not in college. People start to grow up and act more like adults. What sepparated people on high school does not seem as important, and in your major you likely will find your tribe. For those who are not off to college, but entering the working world and possibly trade school, things also are changing. It is easy to be popular on campus,but work is different. You may be an apprentice carpenter, learning a skill. You will be low person on thr totum poll. It doesn't mean you will be treated badly, but your genius workers will have expectations. You working hard andvdoing your best will be important to how they see you. Your 'peers' at work will not be other teenagers, but of all ages, married or not, childless or not, and may have tears in an armed service. Everything changes. Who is 'cool' is no longer who can get their parents to buy them nice clothes, or who as a letter om their jacket. Cool becomes the solid friendvand worker, who can help keep a 12 hour day upbeat, even as you are all busting your asses. As an adult, being a hard worker, standing up for others, being a reliable friend, and having a good sense of humor, that is not based in bullying, is what will help you make and to keep good friends. That and the occassional responsible night of drinking and poker, or watching a football game, or swapping Magic cards, are all you need. When you are 53 like I am, no one will give a shit is you like nerd crap, or geek crap, or sportd crap. They will care if you stand up for their love one, when they are not around, and if you got decent beer or brought Bud Light.
RaufMostafazadeover 1 year agoExcellent story. I doubt anyone is going to read this or react to this, but I will have to mention, you can't see Venus at that time of night, never. I think you mentioned they were gonna sleep in midnight, and Venus can only be seen during an hour or two after sunset or before sunrise. And if this is summer, even the Orion is not gonna be visible until near dawn.
Anonymousalmost 2 years agoExcellent (5) Romance. I am continually amazed at how man people, instead of being enlightened when they read, try to explain why fiction characters couldn't be what the author presented. schulz777 said that nerds couldn't...(whatever, said with the distain in a teen girl's voice). I was the nerd, topped the high school in SAT, and when I arrived a the number five ranked university, the girls were all over me, like the college girl with the hero. 50 years, many children later, I am still the "nerd" and very happy. People, some of these authors are just plain smart (even if they live in Michigan and don't know a canoe paddle from an oar :) ). Reading should be for both learning and pleasure. Often their fiction, as in this case, is very true to life as others have experienced it.
sennodenalmost 2 years agoI would like one of these stories where the main character is still a nerd, but doesn't just let others step all over him for once
