Nerd Makeover (Book 1 Complete)

Chapter 2

-Lilly-

Until someone comes in the classroom and stand in front of me when I look up to see this person as I was shocked.

Do you want to guess whose is it? It was MARCEL!!! In the simplified rule, never make a friend with someone who's like Marcel!

I look around at everyone when everyone is staring at Marcel, and I look back to catch his eyes on me.

What does he doing here? I don't understand- Oh, right! He must be smart than all of them in science but not me, and he's a geek who likes science or something more than his passion.

"That's an A+ grade new student of this school, Marcel Cox. Please make him feel welcome." The science teacher, Mr Bumper, welcome Marcel and pats on his shoulder in a gentle way.

Wait, so, he's an A+ grade student?! Did I hear this, right? I'm his grade too! Whoa, I'm sure that he and I will befriend in no time.

"Oh, no! We know his name, but I don't treat him as such as I treat everyone." Sam Crater, one of the Jock, laugh out loud.

Everyone starts to laugh together with him, and I bend down on my desk as I was embarrassed by whatever Sam says.

Sam Crater was my 'ex'-boyfriend, so we didn't hang out together, and all he wants is to have sex.

"Excuse me, Mr Crater! I know you when you were little, and you're a cutie even now!" Mr Bumper make fun of Sam.

"Hey, Wes Bumper! Don't you dare to tell everyone that I was a cutie!" He starts to shout while he hit his fist on the desk, and when he did this, I cringe.

"Detention!" He mimics like Sam.

I didn't look back at Sam, but I can hear that he slams on his deck and I cringe again.

"Anyway, Mr Cox?" Mr Bumper pauses when he turns to see Marcel and continue to say when he uses his finger to point at me, "Please, take a seat next to Miss Lilly James."

"Me?!" I squealed when I heard my name from Mr Bumper's mouth, and I stand up.

Mr Bumper turns around to see me, and he crosses his arm when he seems suspicion.

"Yes, you! Sure, everyone can tell that you're a sweet girl, and you always welcome new people when they're a new kid! It's your job now. Okay?!" Mr Bumper explains.

That's all true when they need a respected student, and this is me, a friendly girl. For that, I'm sorry, my people!

I look up at Marcel with my broad smile, and he looks shyly.

Aw, man! He's so cute when he does it, and Marcel's name is so refreshing to call him, but everyone doesn't think so!

"Hi, I'm Lilly. Lilly James..!" I start to introduce myself.

He didn't say anything but smile a little and look down on the floor.

"That's okay if you're feeling nervous! Come and sit next to me!" I encourage him.

He nods slowly as such as he trusts me, and Marcel shows me his cute dimples while he walks to get a seat.

Aw, so cute! I want to make a new friendship with Marcel but I can't because it's against the rule.

*After the science class*

It was a stuffy class, but a good lesson to learn and the worst annoying part is that Mr Bumper wants us to finish the project with the panther. Oh, great! He walks around to tell everyone who was going to be with other people who they work. No, everyone expects Marcel and me, have paired up and there's no way that Mr bumpers want us to pair up!

"Miss James and..." He pauses as I saw him look at Marcel and Mr Bumper wants to put us together; he continues, "Mr Cox!"

Of course, he wants us to work together! I know he might be a geek, but still, maybe he should come to my house. That's right; I'm rich, but I never want something expensive and my parents never come home because they always go to their trip business!

I was about to say something to Marcel, but the bell interrupted me, and everyone went to their class instead of my course. Marcel was about to walks away, but I stop him to grasp his arm, and I stand up as such as he stands up at the same time.

"Marcel..!" I call softly.

Marcel stops what he's doing, and I was in a rush to put my things in my bag when I let my firm hand go of his arm. I walk to where he stands, and I stand behind him.

"Look, I know you're still nervous around me but let me help you, and since we are becoming a pather, I-" I blad.

With that, Marcel cuts me off when he chuckles a little, and he turns around to see me with his smiley face. I sigh out of happiness, and we were staring at each other.

"No, I'm fine. Thanks, Lilly!" Marcel smiles a little.

He talks to me like we were a friend, but we never met before. His accent was hilarious, but I liked it. Oh, well..!

We walk to our next classroom, Art and we were silent at the moment.

"I want to ask you where is a place that you're comfortable with, and we can study science. My place or your place?" I break this silence moment, and I ask.

I say I was okay with his place.

"Hmm..! I was thinking..." Marcel pauses as he thought while he looks at me, and then Desmond continues while he smiles cheekily, "My place."

Oh, great! I'm good!

"Yay!" I jump up and down a little.

"Oh? You fell for that?" Marcel asks confusingly.

Is it posh accent way as British, isn't it?

"I'm sorry..! Your accent. It's so different from here." I stat not to scare him away.

Marcel looks shocked, and he puts both of his hand on the month. Then he runs away from where we stand here and never look back.

Next things that I knew he ran off and I know he hides something but what? I was wondering, what is happening between us? I want to know him better than anyone who wants to be my friend but not Marcel. He seems old fashioned, and he didn't know how to make a friend. Wow, Marcel's a, not supposed to be a mean girl, loser, but he's not!
