The Other Way Round.

Chapter 2

It's for you sissy.

Candy thought about what happened that morning. Those hazel eyes she saw that stopped her from lashing out. How could she be so speechless in the presence of a nerd.

Well let's just get to Starbucks and get this over with. Candy thought to herself.

But they were not going to "get it over with".

Candy received the shock of her life when she got to the meeting point.

Andre wasn't there.

"I thought punctuality was a nerd thing." She muttered to herself.

She sat at a spot where she could be noticed easily.

She began to fiddle with her phone.

"Can I take your order?" Cameron asked.

Cameron was a student of Haworth high, also in the 12th grade.

"Hey Cam."

"Hey. What are you doing at Starbucks all alone?"

"I'm waiting for this nerd named Andy or Andre or something like that."

"Yeah. The nerd that looks hot. Andre Downs."

"What?" Candy asked with a shocked expression.

"Andre's here. Catch you later". Cameron said standing up and walking away.

Andre was dressed differently from that morning. This time he was wearing a white button up shirt, black jeans and green sneakers that matched his hazel eyes. Candy observed him more carefully this time and began to notice what Cameron said earlier. It wasn't obvious but it was there. The dude was fine. Candy could tell how his shoes matched his eyes because of what she had seen that morning.

Andre's eyes scanned the area for a girl with light brown hair that looked almost blonde and green eyes.
Just when Candy thought he had spotted her, he walked off to the counter and ordered something.

" I thought punctuality was a nerd thing." Candy said, forming quotation marks in the air with her fingers when she said 'nerd'.

"And I thought lateness was a popular people's thing." Andre replied mimicking Candy when he mentioned 'popular'.

He took a seat across from Candy without even exchanging pleasantries.

"Hey! Who said you could have a seat?" She asked in tone that was supposed to be intimidating.

"Er... The manager of Starbucks?" Andre answered like it was a question.

"You know I could make your life miserable right?" Candy said in a matter of fact tone.

"I figured you'd have done that by now if you really wanted to." Andre said confidently.

"You know for a nerd you are really " sharp mouthed ". Candy said

Andre barley let her finish before he said, " And for a popular girl, you are really 'not direct'.

"What? You did not just say that!"

"Yep I just did"

"I might just----"

"Look are you here for a project or what?" Andre asked, proving himself to be the mature one.

"Yeah just get on with it."

"Okay. Send me your draft and I'll see what can be done." Andre said as he received his order.

"Here's my email, so, I'll be expecting." He stood up and made a move to leave the speechless Candy speechless.

"Your order, Andre." She said dryly.

"Its for you sissy". He walked out.

He walked out on Candy A.K.A school's diva. The nerves of him.
