Geek versus Nerd

Nerd

Battle Plan

I sighed in relief when I returned to my car.

This feels good. I'm glad that she forgave me.

I got my guilt off my back. Now, I could start in outsmarting her.

I reached home and my sisters rushed to me.

Annoying.

Guess I have to play with them again.

-------------------------------------------

Days passed and I did nothing in my free time but study.

I was currently in the library reading my books.

Delilah, on the other hand, are busy tutoring other students.

Psh.

I don't know why she keeps doing it, even though it's clear that she hates it.

I shrugged off my unnecessary thoughts and continued studying.

"Sam!" Someone squealed my name.

What the?

I saw Andrea approaching.

She's really hot but she looks dumb. But still, she's hot.

"Sam." She started by saying my name sweetly. "Could you explain this story to me?"

A story. She wants me to explain a story to her? Wow. They're the easiest to understand, but she failed to.

Stupid. Good thing she's pretty.

I shook away these thoughts instead raised my brow and shook my head. "I'm busy. Go to Delilah, and she'll gladly tutor you."

She can't deny you, since she's trying not to tarnish her good reputation.

And that would mean less time for her to study, and more chance of me beating her.

Andrea rolled her eyes but continued pestering me.

"Please, it'll be quick!" She pleaded.

"No." I said and continued reading my book. I want to teach her though, but I have no time for socialization.

"Aw, why? You're smart already." She pouted.

"No. Stop bothering me."

She huffed and stomped her feet, walking away from me, but I heard her mutter.

"What an ass."

Well this 'ass' would be the new smartest student in the campus.

"Samson, let's study together." Mia invited.

I shook my head. "I gotta get home. I have things to do." I hate getting home, late.

"Aww, you're such a dork. I'm pretty sure you'll just study."

Yeah, whatever. Just leave me alone.

I was about to turn around, when Mia held my arm. "Come on, Sam. Delilah and others will be there." She wagged her brows.

Delilah will be there?

"Yes!" She exclaimed, only then I realized I asked the question out loud.

"Okay. I'll come."

This might be a good oppurtunity to spy on Delilah's techniques in studying. Who knows, I might find a way to disrupt her and lessen her concentration.

"Let's go!" Mia had a very wide grin, I don't know why, and wrapped around her arm around mine and dragged me to the library.

We reached the table, where Delilah, Julie and Danny were studying. Well, Delilah only, because Julie and Danny were just laughing at the pictures.

"Look, Mia! It's you!" Danny exclaimed, pointing at the gorilla which arms were wrapped around the tree, the same way her arms are wrapped around mine.

Mia let go of my arm, finally, and smacked Danny's head, while Julie is laughing.

I slumped down across Delilah. She looked at me and raised her brows, before continuing reading.

Poor, clueless Delilah. She probably doesn't know how I plan on spying on her.

Before I could start, I saw some papers beside her books.

Ah! Notes. I grinned and decided to also make mine.

I took my book and started reviewing our lessons.

----—---———————————————

We were all walking to the parking lot, when Julie suddenly spoke.

"Samson, do you like Delilah?"

What the hell?! Is she joking?! I can't possibly like Delilah. I wonder what made her come up to such theory.

"So?" Mia asked, still waiting for my answer.

"Why would you even think that?" Delilah sneered.

She clearly represented what I feel right now.

Julie shrugged. "I dunno. He keeps glancing at you a while ago."

I'm not glancing at her. It's more like spying on her actions. I wanted to that to them but can't afford to reveal my plan before it even reached halfway.

"Yeah!" Mia chirped. "When I invited him to our group study, he only agreed when he knew that Delilah is coming."

"Stop it!" Delilah scolded them, her face is a bit pink.

She's embarassed!

I can't help but feel a bit joyful knowing that. So miss perfect is easily affected with these things.

"Wait!" Danny exclaimed. "Samson hasn't answered yet."

It turns out I'm back in the spotlight again. A great idea came into my mind and answered the opposite way of how I feel.

"Yes, I do."

Julie and Mia squeeled.

"We have a loveteam. We have a loveteam." They chanted, jumping around us and even pushing Delilah towards me.

Even though it's a little awkward for me, I wrapped my arm around her.

Let's just hope she doesn't notice how this makes me nervous.

I can see her seething from anger, probably having doubts about my answer. Not that I would blame her, she's smart and pretty much have my plan figured out soon.

First part is complete.

Take away her focus.
