A Badboy, Some Football & A Nerd

Chapter I: Meet...?

Meet Athena Stephanie Cecil. That's me. I'm famously....well infamously, known as the school nerd. I've gone through my entire schooling career being a nerd, from day dot in Kindy, to the present. This year, I am currently a senior- no, not that kind of senior - at Victoria High. I've gone through 12 years of being a nerd, but the nerdiness?- is that a word? - only really intensified this year.

I technically tell a lie, I've only been a nerd for 11 and a half years. We're currently only half way through the school year, and I've already had enough. People have started to take more notice in me, the school nerd. Which is surprising, because I've been the school nerd for a good three years now, and I'm pretty sure everyone in school knows me. Even the newbies to the school.

It comes with being an Offical Nerd, the bullying. Now, I wouldn't say it's terribly horrendous. Not yet. Every now and again there's a stray foot that magically appears in front of my walkway, and TIMBER down she goes. Or there's the classic accidentally tripping and knocking all my work over the floor. Or the original trademark bully move. The swirly.

I, myself, have never had the swirly done to me. I have always dreaded it the thought of it. But now there are more 'creative' ways to bully someone. Like chaining them to a flap pile and raising them 50 feet in the air. I've been victim of that though. Not a pleasant feeling.

After 11 (or close to) years of petty bullying, you get used to it. Some people are the main perpetrators, others are there to watch. And then you've got the kids who turn a blind eye, and that includes the teachers.

Meet the main perpetrators. He goes by the name of Casey Cornwall. He's also a senior, like myself, and he is an absolute pain in the ass. He and I go way back, every since the first day of kindy. We had good times, and bad times. Now it's all bad times.

Last year, Casey took it upon himself, to be my 'main bully', so to speak. Which he probably shouldn't have done, because he hasn't gotten much out of me yet.

Casey, surprise surprise, is also one of the most liked kids in the school. And not just for our year. I have heard juniors, fresh meat come up to Casey and ask for his autograph. I mean, seriously the kids not famous for anything, c'mon be real here.

To meet the bystanders of my bullying, I'm afraid I would be tattling for perhaps four hours, naming the students, and teachers I might add, who have stood around and watched. I know, not a single soul will help. But, I don't blame them, it'll lower them to 'my level'.

And now meet the blind eyes, or as they call themselves The Boys. Percy Parker, Michael Turner and Flynn Bright. Three boys from the football team. And may I say, they look far from average. Percy has this perfect jawline, straighter than an arrow. Michaels six pack, is hiding another two packs underneath. And Flynn, oh my god, Flynn has the best hair I have ever seen. It's almost golden and extremely wavy. These are probably the only boys in school, who just don't watch what happens to me, and honestly I can't pin point why.

The life of a nerd isn't too bad. You get good grades, you'll pass school, find a good college. Besides the bullying, everything turns out A okay. If you're a 'typical nerd', which I am not. Sure I get good grades, and yes I do all my work on time, sometimes even going ahead and doing next weeks work. But a typical nerd, loves school. Wouldn't want to miss a day of it. I hate school.

If I could, I would just stay at home all day, lounging around. Reading. Watching so many Disney movies it shouldn't be possible. I mean, I've even brought this up with mum but she says I have to go to school. Technically no, I don't. I can be home schooled, teach myself. Simple.

Dad likes the idea, probably just do he has some company during the day. After he fell from an incredible height of 2 metres a couple months back, he's got what they call 'long service leave' but I know that dad just doesn't like work. I mean, who would?

I'm lucky now, we've got two weeks of school holidays still to come and I am dreading going back to school. That means work!

I hate school.

Now you applaud me.
