Neil Is A Nerd

Neil slammed his locker shut and turned to see Max standing right next to him.

"Ack!" Neil shrieked.

Max chuckled. "Hey Neil, Nik, Nerris and I are grabbing Taco Bell during 4th period. Wanna come?"

"No, sorry. I have AP Calculus AB and then AP English Lit and Composition," Neil said, and Max put his head in his hands. "What?" Neil said defensively.

"God Neil, you're such a fucking nerd."

Neil gasped. "No I'm not! I'm just smart." 

"Yes," Max replied, "A fucking nerd." 

"Well-" Neil was cut off by the bell ringing. "Shit! I'm late for Chemistry." 

He ran away and Max yelled, "NERD!"

Neil rolled his eyes and walked into Chem. He said hello to the teacher and sat down in his seat, front row center. 'Am I really that big of a nerd?'  he wondered. He shook his head. No, he couldn't be. He was a cool kid. He was hip with the kids. He looked at memes and said "that's lit" and "yeet" and stuff like that. Yeah. Neil decided he was not a nerd.

"Neil Weisenberg!" the teacher yelled. "Are you going to pay attention or no?"

Neil slumped over. "Oh, sorry. Yes, sorry ma'am."

After what seemed like a second, third period was over and he was watching Nikki, Max, and Nerris walk right off campus. For a split second, he considered running toward them, but decided that he should probably go to his worse class. He had an A-! 

"Jesus, I really am a nerd," Neil said so himself.

Suddenly, someone tapped his shoulder. "You're the biggest nerd I've ever met."

Neil shrieked and turned around to see Preston standing behind him. "Fuck! Why does everyone keep jump scaring me today?" 

"Oh, I just saw you dramatically contemplating life and decided to eavesdrop on your conversation with yourself," Preston said and smiled.

"Totally not creepy, but ok. Wait, aren't you in my Calculus class?" Neil asked.

Preston rolled his eyes. "Yes, I sit behind you."

"Oh," Neil said embarrassed. Then, both their phones dinged. "Oh, Max texted the group chat."

"It's a photo of him, Nikki and Nerris outside of a Taco Bell and it just says, 'fuck u neil <3.' Oof, that's rough," Preston said. "Let's go to class."

"K."

"Why are you so sister sad?" Preston said and put an arm around Neil.

Neil pushed his arm off of him, disgusted. "First of all, never say that again. Second, because my best friend is being rude."

"Neil, Max has always been rude. But like in every musical, he'll apologize soon and become nice!" Preston exclaimed.

"Shut the fuck up nerd," Neil scoffed. "Oh god, what have I become?"
