The Nerd with the Dangerous Secret

E i g h t

The next day, I decide to take Masons advice and wait till the very last second before I go into class in hopes it would give Fray less oppitunity to talk to me, the hallways and corridors were pretty much empty just a few kids lottering around on the mugger as I walked through the crisp winter air towards my AP Calculas class

I step into the classroom and all eyes are instantly drawn to me as if I was magnet and when I glance around to the teachers desk I realise that Miss Embers is raising a blonde eyebrow in my direction while trying to look stern

"Have a seat Miss Connors and we'll talk after class" She tells me and gestures to the last empty seat in the class which, unfortunately, is next to Fray I nod but inside I'm glaring at the teacher and thinking of ways to murder Fray

Relucantlently I find my feet dragging me towards the seat and I sit down not looking at Jordan who I know is looking pleased with the only empty seat being next to him -- and in that moment I know that he did it on purpose just to get an execuse to try and find out my secrets guess I'll just have to think of other ways to ignore him

The task that the teacher set is pretty easy and simple: answer the questions in the booklet for the mock test next week

Managing to finish the task reletavily quickly I only then realise that the clock still shows that we have half an hour until class finishes I sigh and peek over at the person next to me and grumble when I notice that he has also finished his work and since the teacher said we could quietly chat when we were finished gives Fray the unwelcoming invatation to strike up a conversation about what I'm hiding, so instead before he notices I am finished I pick up my pen and pretend to scribble the anwers down again

"You do realise that you have been staring at the same question for at least five minutes and you have already finished the booklet?" An annoying voice  tells me and I sig knowing that I have been caught and that I will actually have to talk to him now since he asked me a question

"Is it a crime to double my answers!" I snap at him trying to cover up my horrible inabilty to lie with my anger. Joran ponders over this for a second or two before he speaks and gives me his unwelcomed opinion 

"It isn't but then again you are the smatest one in the class and your not even in collage although I noticed like in this class you are taking some collage classes not to mention the fact that I saw you glance over your work right before you set your pen down so even though it is not a crime I would pick up by your vibe that and walking into class late that you are trying to avoid someone and/or a topic with said person" He comments making my anger rise and a bunch of unlady like swears to leave my lips 

I decide to play him at his own game maybe that will pass the time quicker "Oh but what subject or topic would I want to advoid with a certain person?" 

He shrugs with a lopsided smirk plastered upon his lips "I dont know what the subject might me but if I was to take a guess I would say that you were trying to stop a specific person from finding out one of your most deepest darkest and most dangerous secrets?

"What if I am?" I hiss somehow managing to keep my cool

"Just tell me!" He hiss back his mouth twiching up at the corners in irritation as he narrows his eyes a certain fire flashes through them I couldn't help but notice 

Thankfully though I don even have to come up with a cover up or a witty comeback because the bell rings making me snap my mouth close and sigh in relief as I watch Jordan almost growl while I pack my bag and make an exit towards the door

"Hold on there Macy we need to talk" Miss Embers voice shatters my plan but I am secretly grateful about it as it means I'll be late to art -- which I suck at and will more than likely fail I have no idea why when given the choice I opted for art considering I knew that I sucked at the subject 

"Yes miss?" I say as I spin around my heel and walk over to her desks, I knew that I probably would just get a warning seeing as Miss Embers is the nicest teacher in the school and actually takes in our problems no matter whether they are on the smaller scale like hormones or the bigger scale like my secret for example

"Why did you show up late to my class?" She asks curiousity and intrigue shining bright in her blue eyes as it isnt something I would normally do and I guess Miss Embers is the only teacher actually concerned for me 

"Because Jordan has been harrasing me all week even when I tell him to not so nicely 'go away' he still follows me around" I shrug, it wasnt a total lie just a fabrication of the truth "and I thought that if I showed up to class late it would give him less opitunity to talk to me but clearly that didn't work"

"I saw you having a bit of an argumant earlier is that what it was about?" She points out and i nod before she continues "Alright well I will keep Mr Fray on a tighter leash and switch up the seating promblem?" She suggests to which I nod my head again

She turns to her desk draw before digging out a pink slip and hands me over a late pass and slowly I head off to my next class praying this new seating plan will delay Joran from finding out the truth
