Have You Heard? I'm a Nerd. (EDITING)

Ch3: It's best not to insult

“Fishsg..” He grumbled.

“Whaaat!? Speak English!” I cried.

“I said fine.”

I grinned massively. Mission accomplished. 

Jess wiped his face with a paper towel then put his glasses back on. He grabbed his lunch he walked (I ran) out of the stinky bathroom. When we arrived inside the cafeteria I immediately dragged him to Sydney’s table.

“Hey Syd! This is my friend!”

Sydney looked up from her delectable looking sandwich. Her eyes darted from me to Jess a couple of times. “Jess Morgans?” She questioned.

I nodded my head in conformation. I wasn’t so confident now. What if Sydney didn’t want him around? Should I have told her who it was before? Oh no-

“Great!! So Jess, how did Tammie convince you to eat with us?” Wow, that was easy.

I blew out a sigh of relief and sat down in my spot. Jess followed suit and answered Sydney’s question.

 “Umm.. Sh-she begged m-me to go.”

“Shame on you Tammie,” she scolded.

“Hey, whatever works.” I smiled and bit into my pizza.

“So do you have a talent or something? Or what's your favorite thing to do?” Sydney asked Jess.

Jess fumbled with his brown bag lunch, before pulling out a fruit cup and a ham sandwich. I’m just guessing its ham because who doesn’t eat ham?

“Um, I play the g-guitar.” I guess it will take a little time for him to adjust. He was stuttering like a guilty murderer!

“That’s cool.” We both replied.

 I lost track of the next discussion. I stared at my pizza as if it was my mentor. My inner voice and the pizza started a conversation.

 Pizza: Why do you like eating me??

 Inner voice: Because you are so tasty.

 Pizza: I’m greasy and full of calories.

 Inner voice: No you are cheesy and full of goodness.

 Pizza: Stop biting into my flesh! It huurtts!

 Inner voice: You. are. meant. to. be. devoured.

 Pizza: My orgaaans!!

 Inner voice: It’s just pepperoni! Nom nom nom nom nom (eating sounds) 

 Pizza: NOOOOO

I think I’m officially labeled as insane.

Sydney and Jess’s laughter broke my mind out of the pizza haze. I instantly felt bad that I drifted off into space.

“Mr. Hanks has the biggest nose ever! I call his nose Texas because how massive it is!!” Sydney choked.

I started laughing at the last part I caught. It was nice to hear Jess laugh loudly. It was a deep genuine laugh.

Our table was definitely causing a lot of ruckus. The laughter increased when we saw Mr. Hanks walk into the cafeteria to buy lunch. Our guffawing ceased when a girly sweet voice interrupted.

“It seems like the school formed a new club. Loser club. It’s not surprising that these three are the only members.” 

Snickers erupted from the two blonde girls who were standing beside the tall brunette who had spoken. I recognized the brown haired one as the chick who was with Brent. Her hair fell into graceful waves, and she had doe like brown eyes. I admit that she was pretty…. pretty annoying.

“Nadine.” Sydney grumbled.

The girls were oblivious to our hard stares.

“It seems like Jess finally made friends. It’s not that great of accomplishment since the nerds only grouped together out of pity.”

Before I could even stab my fork into the girls neck, the trio strutted off to wherever dumb people go.

“THAT BI-”

Sydney’s lovely insult was cut off by the bell signaling the end of lunch.

I said good bye to my new friends, and stalked off to class. I just wanted this day to end already.

~~~

The rest of the day flew by quick, which was to my pleasure. Now I was freeee! Free as a bird!!

I found my locker and grabbed and replaced books. I was on my way home, ready to just take a long nap.

I waited in front of the school for my dad to pick me up. About five minutes later a familiar Cadillac Escalade pulled up. Hey, my parents work hard.

I hopped into the front seat and tossed my book bag in the back. I reached over and kissed my dad on the cheek as a greeting.

“Hey pumpkin, how was the first day of school?”

I sighed and leaned my head against the window. The car started rolling and I closed my eyes and listened to the sound of crunching gravel.

“It was,” I tried to find the right word, “eventful.”

“Uh oh. Sounds like it was more than eventful.”

“Yeah, but I did make some new friends.” I said, purposefully changing the subject.

“That’s great! They’re welcomed any time.” 

“Thanks, Dad,” I mumbled. I was already feeling the tiredness seep deeper into my system.

My nap in the car was cut short when we arrived home. I grabbed my book bag and opened the mahogany door. The house smelled nice and fresh since we didn’t occupy it with homely things yet. I was surprised to see my mom in the kitchen sipping coffee. We moved because of my mom's job, and it's rare for her to be home before dinner.

“Hey Tam, how was school?” She asked curiously.

I gave the same answer that I told my dad. She simply nodded her head in understanding.

“I'm trying to work out myproject.” My sleepiness reduced just thinking about the plans.

“Remember that you can always do this when you’re older.”

I adamantly replied no. This was my dream, and I wasn’t calling it quits any time soon.

“Wake me up for dinner, please. “ I advised my mom as I trudged up the wooden steps. 

I felt a burst of happiness when I finally reached my room. I took off my glasses and kicked off my shoes. Thankfully, my bed was already set up and dressed with white, cozy covers.

I twisted into a comfortable position and shut my eyes from the world. In dreamland I didn’t have to worry about school, my project, or unpacking boxes. I was blissfully at peace.
