The Other Way Round.

Chapter 3

Again.

It had been two whole days since their meeting at Starbucks and neither had said a word to the other. Candy was battling with her ego while Andre was flexing with the advantages of being a nerd - he could complete  the project in two days. Candy on the other hand thought of getting a story from the internet. It later dawned in the both of them that they needed each other for the acting part.

Screw you Mrs Freeman.  Both of them thought at the same time.

Andre was on his way to lunch when he caught a glimpse of Candy who was standing afar with her hands locked with Tristan's.

Tristan was the school's number one guy.
Automatic prom king. He was by all means what all the girls in school called hot and handsome." The perfect match for Candy." Everyone thought.

If only they knew  how Andre was or what he looked like.

He didn't turn around to go the opposite way. Instead, he kept moving, fully aware of the risk he was taking. The risk of being humiliated by his mates whom he was far better than. Andre knew that no one in school admitted his physical beauty openly because of his nerdy and mysterious attitude. Even Tristan was fully aware of how hot he was - not that he or any of them had seen him shirtless - but as a guy he knew when a fellow guy was hot and he was not ready to let go of his glory yet in case it turned out that 'hot nerdy', as the guys secretly called Andre was hotter than he was.

Besides, I could finish the populars with a snap of my fingers. Andre thought to himself. Why not risk it.

As he got closer, Candy began to notice the presence of someone. Then she turned and saw Andre approaching. She thought about the project immediately. What she going to say when he got there? She started thinking of something to say. Something rude to intimidate. But she was saved by Tristan.

"Miss your way, nerdy?" The deep voice of her accomplice cut in.

"I'm not here for you, hotty. I'm here for your hotty." Andre replied with a smirk playing on his face. He was proud of his pun. Well that was usual for a nerd, wasn't it? His hazel eyes couldn't help but glisten as the sun light crept in from a window nearby.

"What do you want. Nerd? Candy asked stressing the last word.

"That's not how you talk to your only help now, is it?" Andre replied with a blank expression

Tristan just stood there wondering how the nerd could easily ignore his presence.

"What the -" Candy began but was cut off by Andre. Again.

"Look. You want an A or not?" He asked, like a boss.
"Meet me. Same place and time."

He then walked out. On Candy. Again
