Nerd With Secrets

• CHAPTER 1 •

LEINA'S POV

"Okay class today you will work in pairs and answer the questions on the paper given."

I notice everyone stealing glances to other people as if saying, 'partners?', or just something like that. I'm sorry i'm not good at expressing stuffs.

I'm currently in English class which is the second to last lesson I had today and is taught by Mr. Figsy, who is quite a strict teacher. I've never really gotten into much trouble since i'm more on the quiet side rather that the loud, chit-chatty ones so I was kind of behind the shadows.

No one really knows me but that's fine. I like it like that anyways. Low profile is basically my kind of style.

But don't get me wrong, you mess with me or someone I care about, you're dead.

Now let's continue, shall we

I guess the teacher saw the looks people were giving to each other so obviously, because he is a strict teacher after all, he needs to burst our bubbles before we get too excited.

"Don't get too excited. I have already picked your partners."

The second after he said that, groans were heard through out the class but I just stayed silent.

"Avery with Chris, Jhonny with Kenna, Fred with Kennedy..." and bla bla bla.

I shut off everything after that since I wasn't really in the mood to listen and I guess I was too busy not paying attention that I didn't even heard my name being called until I felt someone hesitantly tap my shoulder.

If I didn't have my insane sense skill I wouldn't even know that someone tapped my shoulder because of how soft it was. It was probably just like a gust of wind, but on your shoulder- if you get what I mean.

I looked up to see 'the nerd' as everyone would say. To be honest I never really saw him as a nerd. Other than the fact that I don't know him enough to judge him, i'm not the judge-y type of person.

And also, just because someone is smart and wears glasses then he/she is automatically classified as a nerd?

Unbelievable

"Can I help you?" I asked him in pure confusion, wondering what he is doing here.

His head was hung low but he immediately raised it up once he heard me speaking.

He was probably about 5.9ft tall with a really cute face. I can't really describe his body since he was wearing an oversized sweater which is probably twice his size and also baggy pants.

He was wearing glasses and no freckles on his face. From where I am, I could see his eyes are a reallyvpretty green color. I can't really pin point the exact shade since i'm pretty much clueless at these stuffs.

"Uh, y-you're my partner," he answered-stuttered.

"Ok," I said to him shortly since I don't really care who i'm partnered with. He hung his head again and continued standing up while I wondered when he is going to sit down beside me.

After probably around 1 or 2 minutes, i got tired of seeing him standing up.

"Aren't you going to sit down?" I ask him while raising an eyebrow.

Startled, he looked up at me, "O-oh y-yeah," then he hurriedly sat down on the chair next to me.

"What's your name?" I asked him.

"N-noah," I nod. "Mine's Leina." I said without him asking because I know he wouldn't.

We then started answering the questions. Even though the lack of communication, we ended up finishing it faster than the others, not by far though.

Just in time, the bell rang but just before we could all leave, the professor stopped us.

We groaned and sat back down. "Not so fast, I have one more surprise for you."

"Each partner will be given a printed picture which you will need to describe as best as possible since it will be 40% of your final grade. The content should be well-structured and should contain more than 700 words. The due date will be 3 weeks from now." Mr.Figsy said sternly, making no room for argument, not that there would be anyone who wants to argue, obviously.

He distributed papers to each partner which was A5 sized (half of A4)

Me and Noah got a picture of a historical building, which I think is called the leaning tower of Pisa, though i'm not quite sure.

There was a tall tower which was slightly slanted and I could see the green color of nature surrounding it. People were everywhere- talking, walking, eating, etc. The skies are blue and there were 4 birds flying in the sky. I'm not really sure what breed they are. Seagulls, maybe? Probably not since they're mostly located around the sea, right? Seeing as their names are seagulls i'm guessing they do.

Damn I suck at these stuffs.

"So, where do you want to meet? My place or yours?" I asked him, looking straight at him, or more so towards the top of his head since he was looking down.

He raised his head to look at me. "Umm h-how about yours? Today after school?"

"Yeah sure," I said shortly.

Noah got up hurriedly, almost dropping his books in the process while I took my time tidying my things up. There weren't many but I don't really like to hurry so when i say I take my time, I mean it.

Noah scurried away outside, leaving me alone in the class with the teacher seeing as no student was here so I strolled out off the room quickly.

The halls were packed seeing as it is transition time. I made my way to my locker with the thought of exchanging my english books with chemistry ones but before I made it there, I heard noises.

It was kind of like grunts of pain and multiple voices of someone speaking, though they were unclear to me seeing as I was in quite a distance from them.

I headed for the voice which led me to a secluded hallway.

I was shocked when I saw Noah pressed up to the wall by two other bigger guys.

From where I am, I can't really see clearly since they are at the end of the hallway so I advanced towards them quickly that they didn't even notice there was someone else there. Bless me and my secret agent skills.

Only when I am in a close distance do the guys notice I'm here. All three of them turned their heads to face me. I didn't pay attention to the bullies, all I could focus at was Noah's bruised face.
