The Confidence of a Nerd

Chapter 2(EDITED)

This chapter is dedicated to sophialovestoread because she made me giggle more than a couple time while reading her comments.

When I open the classroom door, it's silent and no one's actually there, while trying to ditch him I guess I ended up arriving a bit earlier than expected. Slowly, I walk into the classroom looking for a place to sit down. How come the door's unlocked? Usually if the teacher isn't inside of the classroom, the door would've been locked and what was Aiden even doing in school this early anyway? From what I've heard about him, if he isn't skipping school then he's always late. Shrugging off these weird suspicious feelings, I head to a desk and I grab a book out of my backpack and start reading.

Not long after I started reading, Mrs. Darcy entered the room. She looks just as confused to see me in her classroom this early, as I am to be here.

"What are you doing here, Lia? How did you get in?" I close my book and look up at her, growing even more confused and suspicious by the second.

"The door was unlocked and I just walked in."

Mrs. Darcy hangs her jacket on her coat rack and walks to her desk, but when she goes to sit down on her chair, the whole thing breaks apart and she lands on her ass with a loud bang. She uses the desk to try to pull herself up, but that collapses on her as well. A shrill shriek escapes her mouth in confusion as I try to process what the hell is happening. Bolts, meant to be connected to the chair and desk, are littered all around her like broken pieces of glass.

"Mrs. Darcy, are you ok?" I jump out of my seat and try to help her up but she slaps my hand away and stands up by herself.

Mrs. Darcy looks up at me, her face tinted red with humiliation and anger.

"Get out of my classroom and go to the office. NOW!"

"Yes, Mrs. Darcy." I sigh, obligated to listen to her. I walk away from her desk slowly and make my way to the door. I look back at her, upset that she seems to think it was me, only to find her glaring at me. Slamming the door shut, I make my way to the office.

I can't believe I'm going to the principal's office for literally doing nothing! It wasn't me! It feels like my heart is going to jump out of my chest and my ears are flushing in anger. Why do I always have to deal with adults venting their frustrations on me when I've done nothing!?

Hopefully, Mr. Jacobs will take it easy on me. It was probably Aiden who did it anyway so if he hears me out everything will be fine. Mrs. Darcy is one of the only math teachers in this school, who actually cares about teaching us. The rest just give students handouts while they sleep at their desks. Why did Aiden do that to her? Maybe he's pissed that he actually has to work in her class? I don't know but, it doesn't make him look badass or whatever, If anything it makes him look really pathetic.
