He Fell For The Nerd

Chapter 1

I was sitting on my king sized bed wrapped up in my comforter and reading a romantic novel at 1 in the afternoon . My room was really spacious and had teal colored walls, a bed side teal colored table with a lamp, the whole wall opposite my bed was covered with a teal bookshelf and considering that the size of my room was large the bookshelf was enormous, a teal study table with my school books neatly piled up( what can I say? I love the color teal), a big window on the wall adjacent to the wall of my bed.

Suddenly, my best friend Amelia Winters dashed through the door of my room. We have known each other for such a long time that she doesn't even bother to knock the door. I keep my novel done to look up at a panting Mia.

Amelia was really beautiful. She had long blonde hair, curled at the bottom of their length which reached her waist, hazel eyes and long tan legs, a smile always adorned her face and she oozed confidence. Any boy with eyes would instantly fall for her, but I failed to understand why still she was single. Anytime I asked her she would say that she is looking for something different. Sure, she had dated in the past, but nothing too serious.

I stood up from my bed and was instantly pulled into a bear hug by my dear friend. She really gives bone-crushing hugs.

"Can't.... Breathe... " I manage to stutter.

" Sorry", Amelia said releasing me from her death trap. "I have just come to apologise and warn you in advance"

"What?" I asked, not understanding a word.

Then she started,"Sorry, I am sorry Cam...My father told me to go. I told him that i could stay home and I swear Cam that I even tried to stop him..but he wouldn't listen..my mum also took the worst time to change sides ...and completely agreed with my father that they couldn't leave me here 'cause I was too irresponsible for that. In the end I gave up.. I promise that I will buy you an ice cream to make it up to you, please don't be mad..an-"

"Mille" I called to stop her rambling, she does this when she is flustered.

She sighed,"Its..umm...just that..I am going to Paris with my family for a couple of days." She finished in one breath.

It took me some seconds before her words finally sunk in...my best friend was going to PARIS...I should be happy for her...but why was I not? I think it is because of the fact that she is my best friend not to mention, my only friend. I am starting my senior year and I wouldn't have her by my side to go through it. I am not good at making friends and Amelia was my one and only friend since kindergarten. I did not feel the need to get acquainted with other people especially because i couldn't muster up the courage to do so. I think it was also because I was slightly jealous because my parents never took me out of my state. But mainly it was the former. I finally realized the gravity of the situation: I would not have any friend for a couple of days in the very beginning of my last year at highschool.

"Amelia!", I exclaimed "How can you do this to me?! You know I am so socially awkward. I cannot even talk to new people without stuttering and I constantly fidget while I am at it, I cannot make new friends, that's for sure. So it means that I'll be left alone for..." I paused, not remembering the number of days she'll be out. "For how many days will you exactly be in France?", I asked.

"Uh-uumm..." she hesitated,"I might be going for a month or two at the most", she told me with a sheepish smile.

"What? How can you miss so much of your senior year then how will you cope with the school work when you return?" I asked Millie, my sudden anger changing into genuine concern. Yeah, I can't stay mad at her for long.

"I won't do the school work", she replied shrugging. We both were now sitting on my bed, our legs dangling at the side.

"What do you mean you won't do the schoolwork, Millie?" I interrogated,"If you won't do it you won't pass Highschool and if you don't pass Highschool, you will not get into a good college."

Mille sighed,"Cam, you always forget the fact that my father owns a college and a good one, rather."

Oh yes, I forgot that my BFF was the daughter of a man who has a college of his own. And Millie is right, the college is among the best in the world.

"Uh- yes! I forgot." and then I remembered the grave situation i was in. Millie saw my face and understood what I was thinking.

"Cam." she called for my attention, I looked up at her and then she continued. "See, I know you are not social enough." I looked at her with raised eyebrows,"Okay, yeah not social at all, but you can see this opportunity as a sign to actually talk to more people, I am the only friend you have, you are lonely sometimes I know you have your brother too but friends are different, you know that, right? Besides, I cannot possibly be there with you all the time, can I?" She told me calmly.
I sighed knowing that she was right."Why do you have to be always right?" She chuckled,"That's because I am smart", she commented arrogantly.

"Yeah, yeah." I said not agreeing with her.

"What?!", she said with mock surprise.

"You know I am smarter than you, don't you?", i said.

"Of course you are, Miss Nerd but not in these things. " she stated while she grabbed a pillow and threw it at me. It hit me square in the face!

"You are soooo going down." I told her with a murderous expression on my face whilst she was busy laughing her ass off, I grabbed a pillow aiming it at her and hitting her her chest. And that's how two very mature senior years started a pillow fight.

After the pillow fight while we were both lying down in my bed facing the ceiling and trying to catch our breath, my stomach rumbled, I was going to get something from the fridge downstairs when I remembered something.

"Hey, Millie, you said something about making it up to me because of leaving me on my own while you enjoyed in Paris, by giving me an ice cream, didn't you?" I asked excited.

"Yeah, I guess I did," she confirmed while she sat up.

"So?", I asked her raising an eyebrow telling her that there is more to it, she gave me a confused expression, so I continued, "So, what are you waiting for? Get your butt off my bed and get moving, because we are gonna eat ice cream", I said, singing the last part at a high pitch.

She quickly got up whilst staring at me and then chuckling, "You'll never change."she stated as if saying a well known fact.
