The Fault in Us

Chapter 1- My Ideal Life Really

Daniel's POV:

I adjusted my geeky eye glasses on and put the lock on my locker. I slowly picked up my history textbook, and began to walk my way to History class.

Suddenly, my book was snatched away from my hands, and was now laying on the floor besides me.

"Hey!" I groaned, without looking up, and going forward to pick the book up.

But this stranger picked the book up, and wouldn't give it back. I looked up to see who this 'stranger' was. No surprise, it was Jayden.

"Nope." He chuckled.

"Hey, give it back! I need to go, you know." I sighed, trying to reach for the book, but he kept swinging it in different directions.

"Fine, only because I'll get you back after school." Jayden smirked. Boy, I hated this kid, he couldn't get enough of torturing me. Because of him, my life was already a living hell.

I rushed off to pick the book up, that he had left on the floor. Within that, I rushed off to History class.

"Hey look, Mr. Nerd is here!" That was Hector, Jayden's best friend. He threw a spitball at me, but was blocked by my heavy textbook.

"Ha- nerd, what are you gonna do, when I beat you up today?" Hector hollered. And within that, the whole class burst into laughter.

I looked up at the teacher, hoping that she'd save me. But she had her usual frown on.

"Mr. Daniel, you're late," She scolded, at her high, raspy voice, crossing her hands over her chest.

"Sorry ma'am" I apologized, quickly making my way to my seat. And there was Andy; the girl whom I admired very much. But, we were total polar opposites, and the worst thing: she was dating my enemy, Jayden!

She looked up at me, after starting at her nails. I put on a crooked, idiotically smile on. She just nodded, and went back to reading the textbook.

'Way to go, Daniel. Way to embarass yourself in front of your crush. Now, she thinks your a dork, even though you really are one.' I thought, mentally punching myself in the head.

This was my typical life. I was the ultimate nerd of the school, and the one who got laughed at (in a bad way) the most. I was the one whom everyone though who was a joke. But, I normally get adjusted to this, but now... I have second thoughts. Maybe I should change... but for her... Andy.
