In the life of a nerd.

Chapter 3.

Mike's P.O.V
Tutions?! Really? Why does the all-time cool Mike need tutions? That too from someone as boring as Jessica?!?
I thought this when my aunt told me about this. But last night, I really enjoyed. (P.S: dont tell anyone I liked studying.)
Jessica's got some cool tricks of learning. Who knew that you could count the 9th table with your fingers?!
Jess is not what people think she is. I saw a new face of hers yesterday... fangirl, awesome daughter, and wonder what more. But, Jess ought to have friends. I wonder why she ain't got any.
On my way back home, my aunt asked me, "so how was it? Is she good?"
"Yeah. Pretty good." I replied.
I quickly had my dinner and went to bed. There is something about Jess. I think I know her from a long time. But do I really?
The next day if school was awesome! I scored a C in math and biology! That's the highest I've ever scored...

I went to Jess in the recess when she was putting her books in her locker.
I tapped her on her back and said, "thanks nerdie! Look I scored a C!!!"
Jessica smiled and said "That's good. By the way, it was your hardwork and determination. You have the potential. Yiu just fail to recognize it."
I had no idea what she meant. But I laughed.
Later that day, in the canteen, I saw Jess sitting alone on a bench. Many of the younger students were also teasing her.
I went to her and sat in front of her.
"Why are you sitting alone?" I asked her.
"I always sit alone. Perhaps you've just noticed." She replied biting into her hamburger.
OH MY GOD! Yeah.
I just did.
I wanted to say it but I knew it would hurt her. She is way too sensitive. I remember when we were young, I once told Jess that the dool she always to used to carry around like kt was her baby, was not real but made of cloth, Jess hit me hard on my arm and ran home crying and she didn't talk to me for like weeks!

So, "what's up? What time today?" I asked her, she is really pretty if you look at her with interest and I am probably the first guy who'd sat this close to her before.
"same time." She replied. Still munching into her burger. I nodded and left the table.
"What the hell were you thinking? Going and taking to that bitch?!" It was Bella, my new girlfriend.
"Just school things."
" 'just school things.' " Bella imitated my voice, and it was horrible.
"Chill Bells, she ain't my type." I said. Still looking at her.

That day we completed around two chapters in science and Jessica gave me two days off. Obviously, we had completed the whole f*cking syllabus!
I had basketball tournament coming up and I had to practise like hell for that.
Overall I was doing pretty good in school. I got a B in my history test and that is the highest I have ever scored in an exam!!!
And yes, the credit goes to Jess. It's been almost half a month now since we became friends and there is something about her that is completely different from the other girls.
I don't feel desperate to take her to bed instead, I kind of feel a protection over her. I can be who I am with her though she is very conserved and shy, I always manage to make her smile or even laugh!
