The Gorgeous Nerd

Chapter 3. Going Places

Author's Note:

I am so enjoying writing this . While I'm still sketching the characters, I wanna thank 'Aashna' for being my inspiration for Stacy. ;)

And 'Savvy' as for you, I'd say that Andy inherits her expressions from you babes :p! So next time you read her *rolling eyes* or *blushing*, think of yourself in her shoes. Hahaa.

I have a lot to draw ideas from into the whole set up.

Wait and Watch !

*winks*.

Muaaah.

Stay tuned loovely readers.

" How did it go hun? I'm sure you had fun exploring your new surroundings!" my mom asked me with excited tone as I entered my sweet home.

Now I really could not let her know how exactly it went on my first day! Mum would go too overdramatic.

Stacy too had asked me to let go of the annoying first-day memories and focus on everything good, like how much I liked the new teachers , labs and the college societies - the debating society, dance club, they were just amazing.

Ever since I was born I have had a thing for dancing, my mom knew , Stacy knew ,but no body else.

My dad would usually stay away from home ,citing business reasons and so he never really invested any time into our lives. But during his few visits , he'd inquire into our well being and take us out for family dinners. Rest of the time he'd just stay preoccupied with his business stuff.

But despite all this I loved my dad to the core and utterly respect him for his dedication to his work. My mom too never complained though.

No doubts, I just wanted to be as focussed as my dad was.

Snaping out of my thoughts now!

" Yeah Mom , it went fine. I kinda liked the new atmosphere, the classes, teachers , cafeteria... . So yeah, it was fun" I tried sounding casual and calm.

It took every ounce of strength to stop myself from blurting out my fury over that cocky bastard.

Oh God, I should really refrain myself from mind cussing so much or else the polite girl in me would vanish to extinction.

"Oh, so nice to hear that sweetie. Just hope that you do a lot better than high school here."

I frowned at her.

"You know, turn a little more sociable, go out, start following your hormones, but you'd know when to draw a line, right honey ?"my mom teased.

Sometimes she'd just act so unlike all the mommies in the world.

" Mom please, can't you like stop reminding me that I'm not normal for an 18."

" Haha Noo sweets, you are completely normal but just make sure that you don't miss upon the college fun."

Wow! she is certainly something else.

"I'm the best mom, ain't I ?

" of course mom! You are the coolest."

"But I just need some time to accomodate a more lively Andy in me,you see." I said assuring her.

Of late , I was actually beginning to understand that I needed to open up to some extra fun for my own good. But as they say, changes come gradual.

"I know honey. Take your time! Now go and freshen up. I'm gonna make you some coffee." she said.

"oh thanks mom, I really need some."
