The Sweet Nerd [On Hold]

Chapter 1

Lila's POV

"Lila!" I was sitting at the corner of our classroom when Macey called me. As I looked up, I saw her raising an eyebrow while her arms crossed.

"Nasa corner ka na naman? Why do you like that place ba?" she asked.

"It's okay Macey, I like it here." I shrugged.

"Well, may magagawa pa ba ako?" Then she sit beside me.

Macey Montevirgen, 16 y.o is my best friend, my one and only friend. She's gorgeous, kind, smart, that's why people adore her.

I, Louiella Samantha Zulueta. 16 y.o, Lila for short was called a 'nerd' but wasn't bullied at all. It's just that they don't recognize me rather they don't see me as if I didn't exist. But Macey was the one who befriends with me.

I hid my pretty face under these nerdy attire because of my personal reasons. She already saw the real me behind this nerdy mask and she tried to convince me to change my taste of fashion but I refused.

We stop chatting when we accidentally heard what our classmates were talking about. And that caught my attention.

G1: "Have you heard the news? Meron na naman daw hi-narass yung Mr. Guiao sa kabilang section?"

G2: "Really? Does she told the department head about this?"

G1: "I don't think so? Obviously, nakarating na sa head yung balita pero sabi nung girl hindi naman daw totoo yung chismis."

G2: "Ikaw naman, hindi naman pala totoo tapos ikinuwento mo pa? Tsk."

G1: "Yun na nga yung nakakapagtaka, sabi niya hindi daw totoo pero sabi nung mga friends niya na hindi na daw siya nakikihalubilo kahit kanino and hindi na rin daw siya active sa class nila."

I knew it! That old man! This has to be stop.

"Lila? Are you okay? Bakit naka closed fist ka na para kang nanggigigil. Is there any problem?" Macey asked.

"Don't mind me, I'm alright."

*inhale*

*exhale*

Haaaaaaay...relax Lila, just relax.

"Are you sure? You look pale. Nahihilo ka ba or what?" she asked.

"I'm fine, really."

"Totoo kaya yung balitang kumakalat?" she asked.

"I dunno, it maybe or may not be true." Of course it's true! Who the hell would believe in his lies.

"Maybe it's true pero why is it the girls who were involved to the said issue denied it?"

I just shrugged. But the answer was so obvious. It's because they were...

THREATENED

-----

Mr. Guiao was our last subject. He discussed our lessons and to be honest, he's a good speaker.

"Okay class, prepare a one fourth sheet of pad paper because we're gonna have short quiz."

10 minutes later...

"Finish or not finish, please pass your paper."

I took up the quiz but I didn't pass my paper.

"Okay, class dismissed."

The next day, someone told me that Mr. Guiao requested me to go to his office.

I walked until I reached his office...

Tug dug tug dug

*knock knock knock*

"Come in! Take your seat." He said as I enter.

"Pinatawag niyo daw po ako?" I asked him while looking into his eyes.

His eyes are full of dark aura. He's looking at me intently. From my hair, face, down to my neck and shoulders.

"Ms. Zulueta, pwede mo bang i-explain..."

He stood and walked behind me. He touched my shoulders while slowly massaging it.

"Kung bakit hindi ka nag quiz kahapon?"

Shiver runs through my spine as he touch me. After a while, he removes my big eyeglasses.

He shifted his position infront of me. Now he's kneeling in front caressing my cheeks with one hand and touching my knee on the other hand.

"I knew it from that start that you have a perfect face. Alam mo bang simula ng maging student kita, I've always imagined you without your eyeglasses and without your...

CLOTHES."

I pushed him and that made him fall on the floor.

He laughed loudly. "Pakipot huh? I like that. So bakit hindi ka nag quiz pero present ka naman sa class ko kahapon?"

"Actually, nag quiz po ako kahapon."

"Then why I don't have your paper?"

"Because I want to give it to you PERSONALLY."
