What Nerdy Love Leads To...

My life is... better?

December 8th, 2020.

I walked in through the school entrance, and saw Lidia and Sabrina, standing with a few other people. I was scared to go over, so I just walked to the side.

"Maliyah! Over here!" I stopped mid-tracks, and sighed. I turned back around and all of them had there eyes on me. I saw 2 boys and 3 other girls.

Lidia came up to me as I was backing away slowly.

"Hey Maliyah. It's Ok, they're not going to hurt you!" She says and smiles at me. Why does her smile make me feel weird inside...? She grabbed my hand and slowly led me to the others.

"Hey Maliyah!" Sabrina said.

"Guys, don't force much onto her, she's not really good with people." Lidia said.

"Ok! You go first!" Sabrina said and pointed to a girl taller than me, and had brown hair and dark brown eyes. Her hair was back into a ponytail.

"Hey! I'm Samara!" She said than smiled. I slightly raised up my hand and waved it at her. I was looking diagonally.

"Maliyah, it's Ok. They're not harmful. Trust me." Lidia said.

"Next person!" Sabrina said. I looked up and saw a very short girl holding a book. She had straight long hair that was a dark brown, almost black. She had light brown eyes, and a cute little smile.

"Hi! I'm Macheala! Nice to meet you!" She said. She was a really quiet person, but I liked that about her. I was more comfortable with her, so I looked up, smiled, then said:

"Hey, I'm Maliyah..."

"Next!" Sabrina said.

I looked next to Macheala. I saw another girl, and she had long black hair, with dark brown eyes, and she was shorter than Macheala.

"Hi... I'm Joyce..." She said. She was more quiet than Macheala.

Joyce came up to me and hide behind me. I'm already starting to like this one...

"Yeah... Joyce isn't a fan of crowds... We sorta forced her over here." Lidia said.

"Time for the boys! You go first!" Sabrina said. She pointed to a boy with light brown eyes and dark brown hair with gel in it. He was a little shorter than me.

"Hey, I'm Leonard." He said.

I was even more scared around boys...

"H-hi..." I said and looked down.

"And last but not least! You! Go!" Sabrina said pointing to a boy that was as short as Macheala. He was wearing a black and red sweater, he had his hood on, but he looked up into my eyes. He had dark brown eyes.

"Hey. I'm Angelo. Nice to meet you... Maliyah?" He asked.

He was still looking into my eyes. I felt my face heating up very fast. Im glad I had my hood on as well...

"Correct..." I said then looked away.

"Great! Now you know more people!"

"Ok, are we done now? Can I leave with this little one right here?" I asked pointing to Joyce who was still hiding.

"Yeah yeah yeah, but first, you and Angelo have to go hangout for awhile." Sabrina said.

"What? Why?" Angelo asked.

"Because I know you guys have a lot in common!"

"Can Joyce at least come?" I asked.

"Whatever."

"Now go spend some time together!" Lidia said then pushed me Joyce and Angelo away from the group.

"Ok... Sorry about them, they can be annoying sometimes..." Angelo said.

"Yeah... Especially Sabrina... But she's my best and basically only friend I have soooo..." I said. I looked at Angelo. He stared into my eyes. My cheeks immediately warmed up. I looked away and looked at Joyce.

"You Alright...?"

I asked her.

"...yeah..." She said then grabbed my arm and put her face into my sleeve. I patted her head.

"So... We were supposed to have a lot in common...?" Angelo said.

"Well, there's bit much about me, really..."

"Oh come on. Tell me a bit about yourself?" He said with hope in his eyes.

"Um... Well, my favorites colors are blue and black... I play Geometry dash, watch Jacksepticeye and Markiplier... And-"

"Wait, you watch Jack and Mark???" He asked, looking very excited.

"Um... Yeah...?"

"Oh my gosh, their like my idol!"

"Speed is keeeeey!" I said.

"SPEED IS KEEEEEY!!!" He said loudly then started laughing. I started laughing as well.

"I believe in you Steve!"

"I call bullshit on that. MOTHER APE-ASS!"

We just kept saying random quotes from Jacksepticeye and Markiplier, and... He seemed like a fun person.

Ding... Ding... Ding... Ding...

The bell rang.

"Oh, well, see you later Maliyah!"

"Bye!"

Joyce walked next to me.

"What's your first period?"

"Math..."

"Oh! Same. I'm in M9 with Mr. Halseth. You?"

"M12..."

"Alright, well bye Joyce!" I said and waved goodbye to her. The Christopher ran up to me and kissed me on the cheek.

"Hey Maliyah. Just wanted to say hi before school!" He said the dashed off. Blush flushed across my cheeks.
