Nerd Vs. Nerd; It's On! [Not To Be Continued]

02-Face Plant

      Liberty came up and sat beside me and we just talked until the bell rang. We jumped up and headed down the bleachers, but that's when I tripped. I flipped all the way down the bleachers and then face planted to the floor. I heard as shatter and for a moment I thought I broke my nose, that was, until I realized it was my glasses.

~~~

      I sat in the nurse's office with an ice pack to my face. My glasses were completely ruined, and without them on, I felt naked; like I forgot to put on pants or something. I shuddered and looked down at my legs, making sure I was wearing pants.

       "Are you sure I didn't break my nose?" I ask staring at the floor tiles, it was about third period or so...

      "Sweetheart, I'm sure." She says as she types something down on the computer. No one in school liked the nurse, she was a fat jerk that sat on the phone gossiping all day, literally, that's what she does.

        I sat on the small futon in the back of her office, annoyingly tapping my feet to the floor until she asked me to leave, of course, that was my plan.

       I ran into the girls bathroom on the first floor and checked my reflection.

      "Whoa! I am kind of hot!" I said, but not having your glasses can't make you look that different can it? After that I went up the stairs to the third floor, where I had English. My locker was also on that floor. I got stuck with a locker by Mitch Rocks, he was a bugger eater. I shuddered as I neatly placed my books on the small shelf in my locker.

BWOOP! BWOOP!

      The release bell rang and kids flooded out of their classes. I spotted Liberty immediately.

      "Avory! Oh my god! I heard your glasses broke! That sucks!" She vented.

      "Yeah and now your going to tell me how hot I look without them." I say, slamming my locker shut. She looked at me, confused. "No, you were way hot before. Your just a little bit better looking with out them, but it's not even that noticeable." She says.

      "Yeah." I snort. "And I'm the queen of England."

      "You are hot! Guys drool over you all the time!" She protested. I laughed. This couldn't really be true, could it?

      After third period was lunch and I was starved.

      "Carla trip her!" I heard McKenna hiss. Of course Carla listened and stuck her foot out. Unfortunately, I didn't realized they were talking about me.

      I flew to the floor for the second time today. I threw my tray in the air so I wouldn't land on it-see how smart nerds are?- and the second I hit the ground I heard McKenna scream. I looked up to see my tray balanced on top of her head, my food was all over her.

      "Douche bag!" She jumped up and pointed at me. "Douche bag!" McKenna said again.

      I rolled my eyes and said, "It's your own fault! You had your assistant nerd, Carla, trip me!"

     McKenna's hand flew to her chest and made an 'how dare you' face, as though she were just insulated.

      I rolled my eyes and got up. I would walk right up to McKenna and punch her in the face but I couldn't afford to get a referral, that would look bad on a collage application. I am not a goody goody, it's just if I don't get a scholarship, my dad can't afford to send me to collage. So I have to not only be super smart, but super good as well.

      So that was the only thing stopping me from making McKenna my first K.O.

      The whole day went by in and awkward flash. I just felt so clumsy without my glasses. I know that sounds nerdy, but it's true! Although, through out the day I have been getting attention from...guys.

      Not that it's a bad thing, I am just not the dating type. And man, if I am with you, I must love you!

      The entire bus was screaming and rocking back and forth as kids threw pencils in the air. I remember once last year, on a different bus, some kid got nailed in the eye with one and it was referals for everyone who was throwing them. Crackhead threw one at me, probably because of my insulting him yesterday, and it slammed against the window beside me.

       I gave a little shierk and slumped down in my seat, shutting my eyes tight. It seemed as though the moment I opened them again I was at my house. Had I fallen asleep?

      I grumbled and got out of my seat and started walking, until Crackhead stuck his foot out into the isle to trip me. It worked.

      I fell on my book bag and heard something break. "Smooth, like sand paper." Crackhead said. I jumped up, my face growing hot and stalked off the bus.

      "Jeremy Crackhead, I am coming for you the second I am done with McKenna." I mutter as I walk up my driveway. Dad wasn't home, and Jewel wasn't either. I slammed the front door closed and plopped down on our red leather couch. I flipped through the channels to find something good. My jaw dropped when I saw that McKenna Tylers was on freaking t.v!

      "I was all afraid and everything until I saw my best friend Carla in danger! So I, knowing I was risking my life, pushed her to the front of the bus when the car crashed into our bus. That's how I-bravely-broke my leg." McKenna said. I pressed my lips in a hard line as my jaw set. 

      The news, she was on the news! Apparently a car had crashed into the back of bus 34, McKenna's bus. I bet you that she didn't even push Carla out of the way, she probably got hit and then made up that story. The way McKenna talked, you wouldn't think she is a nerd, or at least, a smart one.

      "Hello!Hello!" Jewel yelled as she threw the front door opened. Dad was behind her. "Look what I got!" She said and held up a phone, an iphone.

      Dad had never gotten us phones, neither of us, Jewels or me, phones. So the fact that he got us iphones was, um...a shocker.

      "Me too? Did he get one for me too?" I ask. Jewel nods and tosses a iphone box to me, I barely caught it. I felt a wide smile spread on my face. "Avory Krest has a phone." I say.

      "You are a nerd!" Jewel says and walks upstairs to her room. I rolled my eyes. Do you know the difference between nerds and geeks? I am a nerd, nerds are book worms, always reading. A geek is technology psycho, they know everything about computers.

      I pulled out my phone from the box, within an hour I had it ready for use. I quickly typed in Liberty's number.

      "Hello?" She asks.

      "McKenna Tylers was on t.v!" I yell.

      "You saw it to? She is such an attention hog!"

      "Yes and I am sick of her! One moment she tells people she's a nerd! The next moment while she is on t.v she makes people think she is popular! What's her deal?" I spat.

      "Yes, I concur, but I have to go. See you tomorrow." And she hung up.

      The next morning McKenna was riding my bus with one of her friends. Jeremy was flirting with her.

      "Those must be space pants 'cause your butt is out of this world!" He says.

      McKenna smiles and says, "Actually there softball pants 'cause my butt is so out of your league!"

     The bus roars with laughter at McKenna's joke, I rolled my eyes and then giggled, I have to admit. It was kind of funny-a little. By the time the bus pulled up to the school it was raining cats and dogs. In case you didn't know, that was a hyperbole. I just applied some Language Arts to this rainy day.

      Then, that's when I saw it. 'Vote McKenna Tylers 4 President'.

And if she were a real nerd, she wouldn't use '4' instead of 'four'.
