The Nerd Has A Secret

Ella Lawson woke up to the sound of her alarm clock screeching in her ear. Reaching out blindly, she smacked the piece of black misery into silence.

Yawning she climbed out of her cocoon of blankets, and blindly walked herself to the bathroom as she rubbed the sleep from her eyes. She showered and got ready, washing her hair and scrubbing herself clean.

She dried off, went through her morning routine of brushing her teeth and hair and applying some strawberry chap stick.

She walked back into her room in her red lace undergarments, and turned towards her closet.

A loud wolf whistle came from outside and she quickly turned to see both Adrian and Blake looking at her through her window.

A blush covered her body as she stumbled to the window to close it.

"Who knew the nerd had such a hot body? And wore red lingerie?"  She blushed even harder at Blake's words and finally slammed her window closed and shut the curtains.

But not before she saw that Adrian hadn't leered at her, but turned away.

Of course he would. He was in love. With the school cheerleader. And he was her neighbor.

Blake was the linebacker of our school football team, and Adrian was the school bad boy.

They both had quite an extensive reputation.

But Ella was a nerd. She didn't think of herself that way, and if she was to label herself she would say geek instead of nerd.

She didn't care about how good she did in her studies, but she did keep to herself and dress properly. At least at school anyways.

What she did at home was her secret.

She played video games, and basically lived of her gaming systems, and she loved music. Bands and rock more like, but if you dressed like a normal human being should when attending school, you will be labeled a nerd.

She wore glasses, but thats only to keep others away. She could see perfectly fine.

She sort of liked her nerd status even if it came with teasing and bullying. 

At least they won't know her secret then.

She walked back to her closet and chose a simple cream long sleeve shirt with a pair of black skinny jeans. She added her cream flats and pulled her light blond hair into a pony tail and tried to smooth out her curls.

She slipped on her black rimmed glasses, grabbed her plain white back pack and walked out to her car.

She pulled into the school parked lot and as soon as she stepped out of the car was immediately assaulted with the calls of "NERD! FOUR EYES! FREAK!"

She huffed. Freak was a bit much. Nothing was wrong with her. She was just modest and didn't show off what god gave to her to every John, Dick, and Harry.

They greeted her every morning with the same insults, and every morning she just ignored them.

She walked into school and to her locker, ignoring the snickers behind manicured hands, and the shouts from the boys who couldn't keep it in their pants.

She walked to class like she did every other day and sat in her usual seat in her biology class. No, not in the front. In the very back. Beside the only window.

She was drawing in her notebook when somebody sat beside her. She didn't pay them any mind. It was probably Danny, the sweet emo boy who usually sat beside her.

Her pencil dropped and she reached down to pick it up, and while sitting up caught a glimpse of the person sitting beside her.

It wasn't Danny. It was Adrian.
