One:- Infuriating Encounter
It's in every high school student's mind they wished schools on weekdays never existed. High school was just a place you had to go so; you get the requirements and qualification to be in the real world. It would be a statement everyone in high school would agree to. The concept of high school is a little different to Nathan Howland, though. Nathan's goals, ever since middle school, are to focus on the real concerns he must go through and study to graduate so he can apply in a good university. A goal like that would have anyone say he's a nerd.
Well, not for this guy.
The moment Nathan pushes through the doors; the students that were joking around and having fun had stiffened. No one dared to look up to his direction. It would be as if you would burn your eyeballs and they would be turned into dust. He doesn't even acknowledge them as they stood as still as statues in a museum.
It's another day at school and all is normal. Well, that is until Nathan walks through the doors of Skylar High. The noisy chatters throughout the hall faded into whispers.
"Shoot, does he ever come late?"
"Does he ever smile? I mean, imagine if he did."
"He can take me anytime if he does."
"Too bad he's a nerd though."
"Pfft. I really hot nerd, Carol."
Ugh, do they ever shut up? Nathan growled in his thoughts as he snapped his head at them with a penetrating glare causing the whisperers to look occupied on the floor and ceiling when he did. He sighed and strolled his way to his locker.
The thing about Nathan Howland is he's not the nerd you would stereotypically assume he is. He doesn't wear glasses; in fact, he has a 20/20 vision, and nothing slips out of his sight. Hence, his sharp senses that impress yet scares other people. He's not lanky and slow; he's one of the top athletes in his school and helped his school earn trophies enough for them to purchase another cabinet for more to come. The girls and guys admire him despite his indifference to his peers.
Despite Nathan being so popular with his all-rounded characteristic, he'sscary when you cross the line; his line, specifically. When he was a freshman, of course, the seniors were hunting for fresh meat, they didn't know they wouldcross paths with a sleeping lion. They kept picking on Nathan because he was so occupied in studying and never gave any attention to them.
Until one day the lead senior, an egotistical jock, grabbed Nathan's bag and dumped his books into the school's swimming pool. They all laughed; for the last time. Next thing they knew, they heard a menacing growl and each of them earned bruised eyes, sprained arms and legs, a few broken teeth, and a life-threatening warning from the once normal boy.
The story spread of the nerd who butchered a group of jocks alone. Soon it led him the title, The Demon Nerd. He's had many incidences that led him to teach people a lesson to not cross the lion's space. The name stuck with him and Nathan couldn't care less about it.
As he was inserting his books into his locker and arranging them for today's classes, he overheard a few feminine giggles and whispers from behind him. Oh man, please, leave me alone. He internally groaned in agony when he knew he would face the opposite way to the opposite gender that he so dreaded the most to encounter every day.
