The Nerd Disguise

-Ch.2-

The rest of the day goes by quickly, and so far I only have two classes with Tony, sixth and eighth. Of course, there's always tomorrow, considering he came at the end of lunch. By the end of seventh, what happened in sixth was already floating around the school. When Tony saw me in eighth, he smirked, but paid no attention to me whatsoever after that. But other people sure did, throughout seventh and eighth, I got many stares and whispers, even some rumors are now starting. 

That potato called Tony ruined me. I was just fine with being a social outcast, with only Kaitlynn with as a friend. But now, because of him, I'm shoved into the spotlight, into my worst nightmare. I was finally being noticed. He had to go and say that we might possibly be dating, and get everyone riled up for nothing. 

When I finally escape eighth, I make a mad dash to my car and jump, locking the doors for safety. You can never be too cautious. I grab my bag, which I threw into the passenger seat, and dig around for my keys. When I'm done looking everywhere for them, I come to realize that I must have lost them on my crazy run to my car. Oh potato, this is just not my day. I heave a sigh, look out my window, and gingerly step out of the safety of my car. In an instant, the bitter cold air hits me and I'm shivering, even in my warm, fuzzy jacket.I wrap my arms around myself tightly, and start trudging my way to my house. 

It's nearly dark when I get to my house, and when I step inside, it's completely dark, except for the TV light coming from the living room. My dad's home, and he's watching re-runs of football games. Boys.  

Unlike my mom and dad, I don't like to watch football and scream things at TV's. or cook all day, every day, and go to cooking classes. No, I like to spend most of my free time reading or hanging out with Kaitlynn. It's mostly reading and obsessing over a main characters deaths, or my new OTP, or when a new book's out, I have to instantly find the nearest bookstore that has it and buy it, even if it cost every penny I have left.

It's a book, I'm totally going to sacrifice my months allowance for it. Including skittles and DrPepper. 

Sighing, I yell in the general direction of the living room. "I'm home, Dad!" I hear a faint

"Okay," and more yelling at Drew Brees to pass it to Marcus Ball. Him and his football. 

I drop my backpack in my corner by the door, and head into the kitchen for a pudding cup. Once I'm done eating my pudding, I grab my backpack off the floor, and quickly make my way up the stairs and down the hall to my room, not wanting to hear my dad's obnoxious yelling. When I enter my room, I instantly head to my phone, which I always leave at home for intentional reasons, and start playing The Mortal Instruments soundtrack. First thing the comes on if All About Us by He Is We, and I'm softly sing the beginning 

Take my hand, I'll teach you to dance. 

I'll spin you around, won't let you fall down. 

Would you let me lead? You can step on my feet. 

Give it a try, it'll be alright. 

The room's hush hush and now's our moment, 

Take it in, feel it all, and hold it. 

Eyes on you, eyes on me, we're doing this right...
