The Geek Group

I really want to eat a burger like Clara said. I kept imagining that burger so much that I couldn't eat my lunch.

"I'm going to the toilet first! You just wait here!" Bryan said as he walked away leaving me alone.

"Anka...!" Clara shouted for me while waving her hand. She smiled brightly and it made me immediately approach her without thinking.

"What is it?" I asked.

"Want to join with my friends? Actually I wanted to introduce you to them."

"Your friends?"

"Yeah, how? Will Bryan look for you?" Clara asked. I'm a little unsure about this part. Bryan must have been looking for me because he asked me to wait for him. But Clara's friends? I'm not sure if I can blend in with them considering I don't really like being around a lot of people.

"Are your friends good people?"

"Ahahaha...so far they are good. You don't need to worry, at school wouldn't it be better if we could have lots of friends, right?"

"I'm not sure, because I don't really like crowds."

"I understand, but you have to try once in a while, come on!"

Clara took my hand and took me to a place where a group of people she called her 'friends' gathered.

"Clara...!" A girl at one of the tables in the corner of the room shouted, waving her hand.

"Sully?"

"Why are you standing there? Come back, we were waiting for you all along!" Said a boy wearing thick glasses.

"Wait! Anka, they're my friends. You're joining too, okay?"

"Is that okay?"

"Of course you can, come on!" Clara invited me to join a group of unknown people or so-called losers at school.

"Hey, are you the new student I was studying with earlier?" Asked a thin boy, with greasy and messy hair.

"Y-yes!" I answered.

"Wow...we have a new member, what's your name?" Asked a girl whose face was covered in acne.

"M-my name is Anka," I answered shyly.

"Hi...Anka, my name is Sully, the one next to me is Jimmy."

"If I'm Edward, I'm the smartest of them all," said Edward, grinning.

"Hi...Anka, my name is Kimberly."

"Hi guys? Nice to meet you," I said.

"From now on, Anka will be our friend. We must always be together and be loyal friends. Ok?" Clara said as the head of the gang of losers.

If you look around, this place really looks like a nest for unknown children. The long table was covered in graffiti with harsh words, the chairs were starting to break, and the place was also close to a rubbish bin, very sad.

Just for a moment I started to feel happy, now my feelings are all over the place again. I was shocked to death to see a figure not far from where I was now.

"Bryan...?" I shouted slowly. He looked at me. It seems he knows where I am.

"What's wrong, Anka?" Kimberly asked.

"Why do you lower your face like that?"

"Hey... look, that's the cool guy the whole school is talking about. He's walking towards us!" Sully said.

"Yeah, wow... what does he want, huh?" Edward said.

I felt like my heart was going to fall out, the first reason was because this was the first time I had gone without his permission and the second reason was that I ate a hamburger, a food I shouldn't eat. I don't know why I can't hold it.

"Wow... so cool...!!!" They said in amazement.

"Hi...can I borrow Anka for a moment," asked Bryan with a seductive smile, making them stunned.

"Wow...he's really cool, huh...?" Sully said.

"Sure, you can, of course," said Clara.

I just stayed silent while swallowing hard, seeing the expression on his face which was starting to freeze made me even more afraid.

"Why?" Bryan asked me.

"Why what?" I asked while lowering my face.

"Why did you leave without my permission?"

"W-why do I always have to ask your permission first?"

"So I don't worry, Anka. You know I'm really worried about you. What if someone makes fun of you?"

"It's not like you said yourself that nothing would happen. Why are you... you the one afraid now?"

"I'm scared because you're my sister. I don't want to lose you. Don't you want to listen to my words anymore?"

"I didn't say that!"

"Now do you no longer want to think of me as your older brother?"

"That's not it, okay I'm sorry."

"Never mind, it's okay. I'm sorry too, okay? Will you forgive me?" He asked while gently touching my face. His touch was so soft and warm.

"Yeah, I'm sorry too."

"Oh, by the way, it looks like you have lots of friends now, huh?" Bryan said while looking at my friends.

"Yes, they are my friends. From now on I have friends."

"Thank goodness, I'm happy."

“Hei Bryan!” Someone from the popular crowd shouted.

"Yeah, wait a minute! Anka, do you want to join me?"

"No, I already have friends. I will join my new friends."

"Hmm... okay, but remember not to be too far from me!"

"Yes!"

Bryan walked away towards his new friends who were famous and popular, while I would also be loyal to my new friends, the losers.

"Anka...!" Clara called with a hesitant look.

"Yes?"

"Can I ask you something?"
