Can't Fall For The Nerd

Chapter Two

Chapter Two

Recap:

Mrs. Webber continued on until she reached my name, "Angela Darwin and Landyn Glenn."

What! That can't be. The one who's tortured me since middle school.

"What?" Landyn screamed.

He appeared to was as happy about it as I was.

"Good luck with him," Darris said as he walked out. "Your gonna need it."

Oh, the torture.

***

As class continues I couldn't help but continue thinking about the project. After Mrs. Webber assigned our partners, she didn't give us any time to work on it. She talked about class expectations, and intentions of the project.

When the bell finally rang, I struggled to gather all my belongings before heading to the door. I was looking at the floor, like usual, then felt myself crash into something hard. When I looked up, I couldn't see anything because I had lost my glasses on the way down.

The hard object, I had now learned was indeed a person, grabbed my hand and hauled me to my feet. I felt his glare burn into the back of my skull as I began scramble around looking for my spectacles.

"You look better without glasses."

As I looked up to see who was talking, I was quite shocked to see it was my worst enemy, Landyn Glenn.

"You actually said something nice." I mumbled inaudibly.

"Oh, the nerd can speak." And the niceness is gone.

I continued to search the floor on my knees and began to gather my books. When they were back safely in my arms, I scampered out the door. As I walked away I barely heard, "Hey, I'm picking you up after school to work on the project,"

I pretended not to hear him as I marched to my locker.

Finally, lunch. The only time I can talk with Scott. Unfortunately, I don't have any classes with him this year.

I stormed to where Scott was sitting and plopped down in the chair across from him.

"What's got you in a bad mood?" He asked in a questioning voice.

"Mrs. Webber put me and Landyn together for the 'get to know each other' project."

"Ahh, that explains it." He said sarcastically, "It can't be that bad."

"Your not the one he has made fun of everyday for being a nerd."

"And your not the one being teased for being emo and gay."

I turned to the familiar tapping on my arm, "What do you want?"

"Well that's a good way to greet you bestest friend in Mrs. Webber's class."

It was Darris.

"Shouldn't you be hanging out with your jocks or something?"

"No, I just want to know what you did to Landyn. He's been in a strange mood since Mrs. Webber's class."

"He's probably mad I ran into him as he came out of her class."

"No he's acting like someone put him in a trance."

"Hello, guys!" Scott yelled as we continued to talk.

"Yes," I said

"You kind of just left me out, what's going on?"

"I'll fill you in later, it's a long story."

After PE with Mr. Yang and art with Mrs. Preston, I was finally able to go home, or so I thought.

"You ready to go, nerd."

"Go away Landyn, you and I both know that I will do the entire project and you will just put your name on it."

"Nope. Not this time, your coming with me."

Landyn's POV

The truth is, I was just planning on making her do the entire project, but know I just couldn't.

Call me a sucker, but I felt strange when her eyes met mine, it made me feel funny. The green of them is so vibrant and spirited. I have never felt that way before but I think I liked it.

As she gathered her things from her locker, I walked around impatiently.

"Are you done yet?" I asked her

She didn't respond.

We walked out the front door of the school and to my car. We got in and drove in awkward silence to my house.

As we pulled up the driveway, the look on her face was priceless.

"I take it you like the house."

She slowly unbuckled her seatbelt, nodding, and climbed out of the car, we were greeted at the door by my 6 year old sister, Carrie.

She smiled big as she spotted Angela, "Is she your girlfriend?"

"No," I replyed.

"Good, she's too pretty to be your girlfriend."

Angela, who had heard the whole exchange, just stood in shock. Her face immediately turned tomato red.

I blushed slightly at my sister's innocents and ushered Angela into the kitchen.

"Well hello Dear." My mother said as we walked into the kitchen. She turned to Angela, "And hello to you." she turned back to me, "Is she your new conquest?"

What have I gotten myself into?
