"For crying out loud , settle down " a catchy music echoes around the room , high volume that makes the wall vibrate. A young man with messy hair came rushing down the hall , waters dripping from his wet hair soft white towel tightly wrapped around his slim waist . It's almost 6 o clock in the morning Chris Jacob is all prepare for the school , his bag is pack and also his anatomy project that composed of human body and organs , all are stick together and cover in plastic wrapper . Chris grabbed a pair of brown slacks, green furry socks and white polo shirt and put them on ,he get his half full gel and smooth some on his curly hair . "incredible day " he muttered as he hopped downstairs .
First day on his 4th year of medical, what would a typical student would expect a bundle of homework and tons of research papers . But for Chris those works are piece of cake , he was born for studying , he memorized the every part of the human body he knows every single details of it . So maybe he's advance among all the students in Drexel university , who cares the point is he's a nerd ,21 years old man who still got blue colored brace on his teeth , wearing big black nerdish glass and have awful taste of fashion .
Down the hallways as he stomps quietly waiting is none other than his self-proclaimed best friend Lawrence Tate . An biochemical engineering student who live on his block,they often called him Tate caused it's sounds more appealing, he's a good looking man 5'11 height an inch taller than Chris . Although Tate (he prefer Lawrence ) is an engineering they're still good friends behind the rivalry of medical and engineering.
Tate waves his hand on Chris , leaning outside his locker .
"Man I need some help " he yelled on Tate , as he balance his project and books on his arms .
Tate just shrug his shoulder and gave a wicked smirk " you're doing great man " then he leaves
So maybe they're friends but Tate always bully him to no end and that's what he's mad bout it.
Even as he walked his foot skids on the wet steps ,not sure what's happening then pair of tender hands wrapped around his waist preventing him from falling .
"Awkward " echoed on the hallway,
"Hi Chris , are you ok?" An angelic voice asked
" I'm ok you don't have to helped me " he muttered, turning his attention to his savior from humiliation , his eyes widen when he realized who's he talking to .
Oh my god he thought , she's just a girl standing in front of a boy asking him if he's alright .
" ah I'm better than alright, thank you Nicole Haro " he whispered , looking at the floor blushing creeping on his freckle face as he bites his lip showing his braces .
" well would you like to walk with me , I can carry your books " she said offering her helping hands , students were gathered around thinking why would Nicole the school almost perfect student would help a cheeky nerd like Chris ? They mean she is , pretty , talented , smart and nice.
" no you don't have to Nicole I can do it " he answers
" I insist " Nicole said gathering Chris books as she holds his hand and walk to their room. He felt a jolt of mild electricity on everyone was left dumbfounded , commotion was rapidly spread through social media about how nice and beautiful inside and out their student president.
Thanks to Nicole , Chris almost didn't answer the calculus equation that was written on the black board . His mind was all about her, her smile that shows off her pearly white teeth, her dewy rose cheeks, that hypnotizing golden brown eyes ,those chestnut hair and her heavenly personality .Gosh she gorgeous in every angle and curves of her body .
He wasn't asking for her attention , but it turns out the other way around . On his theory Nicole was asking his attention , he always saw her on the corridor , room and even on medical building.
"She's creeping me out dude " he told Tate while chewing his salad full of mayonnaise.
Tate just raised his eyebrow , looking at him distinctively.
"Wow !" All Tate could said .
Chris nods and chew a carrot, "no I mean dude , how can you come up with that idea . Look at you " Tate gestures his hand to him , " then look at her " he pointed Nicole who was happily eating with her friends .
"What?" Chris muttered dumbly, looking to Tate then to Nicole . He saw that Nicole smiled at him so he did the same .
Tate snaps his finger to get Chris attention
" you're the creepy one , she was like 150% of perfection and beyond but you dude no offense You were like -20% below average " he whispered unrepentant , Tate moves his chair and sit besides him he stretched his arm around Chris shoulder and give it a squeeze.
Ouch ! -20% below average , so he's telling him that a girl like Nicole would never in a million years would fall in love with him . He drift his gaze into Tate with a hurt expression .
" Lawrence , you hurt me !" He yelled then stormed off.
So not only everybody but also his own best friend Lawrence believe that this Nicole Haro is too good for him , that she's too perfect human while he is just a mere geek that fantasize calculator and ruler in his sleep . He runs into the near restroom ,not even caring bumping a couple of students.
"Not fair " he groaned , grabbing a fist of his hair tugging it forcefully . Chris sat at the polished tiles thinking how his day turn out to be despicably one Warm tears starts to run down to his face so he took off this glass and put it in his bag .
He's tired of someone blaming everything to him , what did he done wrong to commit this treatment.
He's mad at himself , "why is he so weak ,why he's such a geek ?-why?" He thought . Chris clutched his bag and and throw it against the wall . All his things scattered on the bathroom floor , broken ruler , broken calculator , broken pencil and his broken glass . He groaned crawling and picking up all his things .
"Chris " whisper thin voice echoed Chris flinched He recognized the voice;that sweet melodious voice . Chris quickly stand up , he opened the water to washed the tears from his freckles face . Then he slowly walked to the door and opened it.
"Hi " his voice was hoarse and tight
Nicole looks at him and gasped , his hair was messy , eyes are red from crying . She reached for his cheek and caress it .
"What happened?"
" nothing I'm alright " he muttered , she looks into his eyes and He saw a hint of pity in that golden eyes .
It's not a good thing that people pity you , they think you're just a weakling who barely survived middle and high school .
Chris removed her hand from his cheek " really I'm fine , I should go cause I'm not feeling well"
He fasten his pace , Chris knew that he's being a jerk to Nicole . He knew that she's just being nice to him . But it was out of pity .
"Pathetic " he thought .
