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

Ch5: I'm in the slime light

I took note of what Sydney said. I waved farewell and walked over to Brent and his friends. It was as if someone was silencing their table with a remote control, because little by little the popular group quieted.

"Well hello, Tammie. I'm surprised to see you actually showed up," was Jim's greeting.

I simply nodded, placed down my lunch tray, and took the seat Jim gestured too. Which was a spot where it would be hard for even a person as skinny as a slim jim to squeeze into, so believe me when I say I was pretty uncomfortable.

I was practically falling off my chair from the small space I had, but I was more or less facing Jim. Brent was sitting next to him with his girlfriend Nadine. Her two blonde friends were sitting together right next to her. The rest of the table simply went back to their normal chatter. I was at the clutches of the most popular people at school.

"Tammie, why do you look so scared? Theres nothing to be jumpy about." Nadines voice was coated with false sweetness. She took a long agonzing sip from her drink and watched me with calculating eyes.

"Oh, um well I was just caught by surprised. That's all."

I turned my back to the group and caught eyes with Sydney and Jess who were watching me tentatively.

"Well Tammie, you should be scared." Brent voiced.

What? I thought.

"We don't like nerds like you," Brent continued. "As stereotypical it may be, us popular kids just don't get along with your... species. We invited you to sit with us for one main reason. To deliver a message. You should never had approached me yesterday. And I won't easily forgive the stunt in the library you and that nerd boy pulled. "

 "Oh pah-leaze," I started. "That is the most absurd thing ever. There are plenty of nice popular people who are friends with everyone! It's just ya'll who try to live life like a movie where the nerds must bow down in fear to the populars."

I didn't realize it, but during my speech I was inching forward to Brent's face. We were practically in each others breathing space. Nadine didn't like that.

 "Do I care about what you think? Or what your opinion is about us? No, and I won't let a petty little geek get in my way of things. Jim, you know what to do!!"

Jim got up and obeyed Brents order.

I felt like annoyed was my emotional entree and angry was the side dish. And what was their plan?

My thoughts were answered when I felt something wet and thick fall on my head. The stuff was dripping down my face, my shirt, my glasses, everywhere.

The table burst out laughing. Jim who poured the substance on me was smiling in satisfaction. Brent was half laughing half smirking. The rest of the cafeteria sat in shock of what they were witnessing.

"You see little Tammie? No matter what you say, I always come out on top."

I wiped the green goo from my lenses so I could look Brent clearly in the eye.

"You know what Brent? Have fun for the rest of lunch."

I couldn't think of anything intelligent to say because I was currently absorbing the fact they had the audacity to cover me with slime. Before walking away I decided I wanted to deliver my own message. I grabbed a glob of the mysterious slime and threw it at Brent. I made sure to aim for his precious face.

Now I was the one laughing! His face was dripping with goo, and shock! Haha, Porky! Can't even take the taste of your own medicine!!

I ran away without another word and headed straight for the bathroom. Yeah yeah, I'm probably no better for throwing the stuff at him, but I couldn't resist. There weren't any teachers around. I doubt that Jim and Brent would go through the trouble blaming me when they have to explain why I was covered in the goo first.

I admit that my nerd side is taking a beating. I am affected by their words, and I was slightly embarrassed in the cafeteria. The only thing keeping me going was thinking about Write for the Readers.

I was washing up in the sink when Sydney walked in. Well, more like stormed in.

"HOW DARE THEY DO THAT! WHO DOES BRENT THINK HE IS! THE PRESIDENT!?"

I stared at her wide eyed. Dang, when Sydney rages, she rages.

"I'm going to slice his throat open!! And then vandalize his clothes!! And put stink bombs in all of their lockers!!!"

"Woah there! A bit harsh." I was intermittently washing my self off because I was also keeping an eye on Sydney. I was afraid that any minute she would turn into Hulk.

"Oh, they are going to pay. Their pretty behinds are not going to see this coming."

"See what exactly?"

"Yeah um, I'm not sure... YET." 

"Wow, and here I thought you already came up with some evil plan." 

UGH! This stuff isn't coming off! I swear if I have to cut off my hair I WILL go crazy.

"Tammie need some help?" Sydney asked kindly.

Wow, someone has some major mood swings.

I nodded yes and braced my self for some painful scrubbing. Surprisingly, Sydney was helping out a good bunch, and the slime started to seep out easily.

"What happened to Jess?" I asked.

"He's probably waiting outside. I was about to make him come in here but I quote, 'The girls bathroom is a man's nightmare' "

I laughed at that. "I think a garbage can is cleaner than the boys bathroom, so I don't know what he's talking about."

After ten more minutes of de-sliming, I was almost goo free. There were still small pieces of the stuff in my hair and little bits on my clothes, but I wasn't complaining.

We walked out together and spotted Jess sitting on the floor outside the girls bathroom.

When he saw us he scrambled up and addressed me immediately.

"Are y-you okay?" He mumbled shyly.

I crossed my arms and sighed. "Yeah, just peachy. Lets get to class."

School ended in a flash, and I was eager to get home. I wanted to get my mind off the events that occured today, so I decided that tonight I was going to fix up my room and Tam-afy it. It was so bare right now, and it didn't look complete. I hopped in my dad's car and was silent during the ride home.

 I was inside the house already when I felt a vibration and heard a 'beep' from my pocket. I pulled out my phone and read a text from Sydney:

Came up w/ a genius plan. ready when u r

This may be a good thing, or a bad thing.
