Nerd To Jock: a nerd's glow up story

Chapter 32: Comeback

Two months had passed. Jessica, Becca and Phoebe were helping me to keep u with the school and studies. My parents had grown apart after my grandma's death and Dad had traveled to UK on a business trip. Robin was still in Hampshire searching for Clay while he was taking his second semester there too. My leg has gotten better and I was walking normally again. And I'm glad that I can finally go back to school because I was spending my whole time at home with mom.

"Hurry up, you might get late," mom shouted from the kitchen. I looked at the clock hanging on the wall.

"I still have one hour," I shouted loud enough for her to hear me. These mornings were kind of annoying but I had missed them.

I got ready and headed downstairs. Mom had prepared me a bowl of cereals and she was drinking some healthy juice. I greeted her as I planted a kiss on her cheek and then sat and started eating. Justin called me right after and I knew it was time to go. I swung my backpack on my right shoulder, put my phone in my pocket and headed to the entrance.

"Bye mom," I yelled before slamming the door shut and hurried to Justin's car.

"Any updates from Robin?" I asked as I got in the.

"Hi Andy, I'm fine. What about you?" He said sarcastically as he turned the engine on.

"Sorry, I'm just worried how he disappeared,"

"We all are, but Robin's worth the trust and he will find him, give yourself and us a break, please."

I remained silent. I knew what he was saying was true, but I couldn't help it.

"Hey Jess," I said as I went in the laboratory and sat next to her.

"Hey," she greeted me excitedly, "we missed you here."

"Ugh man, another week, another chemistry class in the morning, another hour I have to spend with that chocolate skinned girl," Quentin's voice interrupted Jessica as he appeared on the door. I was facing Jessica, who hugged herself embarrassment running in her veins, and had my back to the door so apparently he didn't see me.

"I just wish we are all pure white, without tanned or black people," he continued. "Hey Jess, you're one of them." At these words I only found myself screaming.

"Take it back," I shouted as I stood up facing him. I stared at his light green eyes while he stared at mine.

"Woah, Nerdrew chill, we're having," he said coolly.

"Let me rephrase it, you're having fun, we're not," I said still not breaking eye contact.

"What can you do? Call that boyfriend of yours on me," he said childishly with a grin.

"No, I can break your face," I menaced.

"Oh really what are you waiting for then," my hand clenched into a fist and I closed my eyes trying my best to not punch him, "Nerdrew?" And he pushed me. Oh honey, you made a huge mistake. I didn't know what happened until I heard a lady yelling, I opened my eyes to see a bleeding Quentin on the floor with me on top of him.

"Shit, that's the principal," a guy said.

That's a new principal Andrew, you're in trouble.

"You two in my office," she said furiously as she ran away.

I let go off Quentin's collar as I followed her.

"I know what I have to do," she said after hearing both my and his version of the story. He tried to show me as guitly but I told it the way it was. "I don't want to hear your breath," she said before pushing on the button of the microphone. "Jessica Worthington, my office immediately." She gave Quentin that has still blood running out of his nose a look, "go to the clinic and come back quickly."

A few moments later Jessica came in and she interrogated her and she told the same story as mine.

"Go back to class," the principal ordered to Jessica and I was still waiting there. I looked at my injured knuckles, I probably hurt myself as I hit him that hard. The principal was filling some papers while I was watching her.

"So you're Andrew, the Andrew everyone talked about?" She said not bothering to look at me.

"Everyone?" I asked in confusion.

"Yes, I heard you had an accident and that's why you couldn't come to school for two months, I was here for two weeks now and I didn't know much about all the students. I could care less, but you're the only guy with a clean file in here, not even a fight." I chuckled remembering that Mr. Anderson hasn't put the fight with Edgard on my record. And once again apparently the principal was on my lane.

"I don't know if you have heard of me since it's your first day back here, so let me introduce myself. Jeanina Jhonstone."

"Nice to meet you Mrs. Jhonstone, you know me already."

"It's Ms. Jhonstone, actually," she said with a grin.

"Sorry I'm late," Quentin said as he went in.

"Apology denied, don't even think of sitting," she said rudely. "You know it's a three strike rule here, I gave you a first chance and forgot the ones before I got here, I cleared your file after you begged me and you've already been in two fights and started two others in the past two weeks. With this one, I had gave you two chances Black, two. Total, three chances, what makes that six, double of what you can have. I don't wanna see your face around here anymore."

"But--" he tried to speak before she interrupted him.

"No but's, tell your mom to find you a new school if you're planning on going to college."

He then left the room. Even though I hated him, but felt bad for him.

"Now for you Andrew," she spoke calmly, "you have to write me a three thousands words article for the school's magazine about how is colorism bad. You also have to take service after school." I laughed at the punishment she gave me. I mean, does she know I am nerd? She even gave me a topic I would enjoy writing.

God did I hate colorism.
