He's a nerd

Liam:

You ran to chemistry class knowing you were already late. You practically launched yourself through the door and stood there out of breath while everybody looked at you, your friends chuckling.

"Miss (Y/L/N), glad you could join us," your teacher Miss Wilson said

"Sorry. Car troubles," you said still catching your breath

"It's fine. Just take a seat. We've already assigned today's lab partners. You can go with Liam," she said. You looked around the classroom tring to spot him. He was the only person on his own, hence why the teacher partnered you with him. You were actually really happy. No, not because he was a nerd and that meant you would get a good grade on this prac. You actually had a crush on him. You had told your 'friends' but you were all the popular group. They gave you a big lecture on how you couldn't date a nerd or you were out of the group. Only your best friend Lisa accepted it and thought it was great. So you never mentioned it again. But you couldn't deny that your feelings for him had just gotten stronger.

You walked over taking a seat and soon it was time to start the prac. You started measuring out the chemicals that were needed while Liam set up the equipment. He was just so cute and you could tell he was nervous. Usually there was an odd number of students in chemistry so he always ended up working on his own but he seemed to like it that way.

"What's next?" You asked him with a smile on your face. He looked up at you with his mesmerising eyes.

"Uh. We have to invert the solution and add it to this beaker along with the sodium hydroxide," he answered, clearly nervous

"So this is a covalent bond right? The oxygens have a double bond," You checked with Liam as you were finishing off your work sheets.

"Yeah. Thats right," he smiled. He had slowly grown more confident talking to you as the lesson had continued. "You're actually really good at chemistry," he added

"What so just because i hang out with the people I do, you think i'm some kind of air head," You joked

He started stuttering again

"Oh. . .no. . . That's not what i meant . . . I'm sorry . . . I just . . ."

"Relax Liam. I'm just messing with you," you said and saw him sigh in relief

"so what was wrong with your car?" he asked curiously

"I'm not sure. It wouldn't start this morning. I have to take it to a mechanic. I had to get my brother to give me a lift," You answered

"You know. I could take a look at it for you. I mean if you want," he offered

"You know about cars?" you asked surprised

"Yeah. My dad taught me,"

"Well okay then. Only if you're sure you wouldn't mind," you said

"Of course I wouldn't mind. I'm free today after school," he suggested

"Awesome," you said and made a decision in that second. You didn't care what your friends think anymore. If they ditch you, so what. You'll still have Lisa and possibly Liam.

"Do you want to go out for food first?" You asked

"Really? You want to hang out with me?" he asked surprised

"Yeah. To be honest, I was kind of hoping it could maybe be a date," you confirmed

He looked absolutely shocked that you just said that
