you were never one of the nerds; more of a desired and popular girl at the school, but never really liked that little fame you had, even though you never wanted that or stuggled to have that, differently from eli, one of the nerds.
it's not that you liked him, but you always saw the way he was bullied and thought it was awful; plus, you thought he was lowkey cute.
"look at that lip. no girl would wanna kiss you."
tyler, one of the biggest bullies of eli and all nerds and weirdos of the school screams in the middle of the library, pointing to ali as the boy looks like he's about to cry.
It's not that you're his defender, but the moment you heard tyler and the other boys saying it to him, you have no reaction other than to get in their way and give the boy a sudden and quick kiss, leaving everyone in absolute shock.
