Chapter 1: Keep Dreaming Brooks

"It's like your burning your eyes into her soul…kind of creepy man" John said sipping his soda

"Shut up" Punk replied blushing at being caught for staring.

She was beautiful if he had one word to describe her it would be perfect. Everything about her screamed perfection…sad thing was he knew he could never have her. Not only was she taken by the most popular guy in school and the captain of the football team. He wasn't exactly her type either.

The girl was April Mendez…AJ to the ones who had the privilege to be her and friend and in her presence. She was the Mary Jane to his Peter Parker, The Harley to his Joker, and boy was he such a nerd.

He was just Philip Jack Brooks…or Punk to his closest friends, the biggest nerd in school. He had the glasses, the hair, he just screamed to AJ loser. Sure he had friends but some of them split and changed once he got to high school. He one true friend John Cena, they grew up together, same neighborhood, and they were they for each other through it all.

AJ had it all the looks, the guy and of course popularity. She was also known to others as vapid, shallow and well an all-around complete and utter bitch. Punk of course being hit by Cupid's bow ignored all that and still saw the good in her.

"Why do you keep staring at me weirdo?" A voice asked harshly

Punk snapped out of his thoughts quickly once he heard that voice and looked up nervously.

"I'm sorry" Punk whispered softly

"That doesn't answer my question…this entire lunch period you've been looking at me. It's creepy Phil so knock it off" AJ replied crossing her arms her little mob of friends behind her giggling.

"Leave him alone April…he can't help his weirdness" John replied casually

"Gee thanks man" Punk whispered with a glare

"No one asked for you to speak Cena" AJ replied rolling her eyes

"Funny I don't recall asking anyone's permission…so why don't you and your banshees walk back to the dark side and leave us alone" John replied with a smirk.

"Ugh you are such an asshole Cena…you two nerds need to get a life" AJ replied angrily stomping her foot as she walked away her friends trailing behind her like little brainwashed ants.

"Bro…you really need to speak up for yourself. Grow a set man and stand up to her don't be a little girl" John replied sternly

"I can't alright every time she comes by I freeze. You know if it was anyone else they wouldn't stand a chance. I chew them up and spit them out" Punk replied trying to be tough.

"Sure you keep telling yourself that…you are never going to get anyone if you don't man up" John replied folding his arms against his chest.

Punk opened his mouth to reply but the bell rang meaning this lunch time was over.

"Guess this episode of lunch time drama is over…drop by tomorrow folks for the new episode same time tomorrow" John said sarcastically.

"And they call me the nerd" Punk mumbled to himself.

"I heard that you douche" John replied smacking Punk on the arm.

"Oww you ass" Punk cried out rubbing his arm.

"Watch it dork" a voice said rudely

Punk had bumped into AJ who looked disgusted.

"I'm sorry" Punk replied softly

"Whatever just watch it or else" AJ replied with a glare.

"Real tough" John whispered with a chuckle.

Punk just rolled his eyes and walked to his next class. Was he ever going to get over this…was he ever going to stop letting people walk all over him. Would he ever have a chance of getting an ounce of respect from April? Nope probably not…but it's not like she was going to be any major part of his life later on right?
