Chapter 1. Meet The Nerds

Her POV

My name is Tracy Adams. Life has not been this easiest for the past one week. It has always been bumpy ever since I arrived here. Then again I'm not used to smooth ordinary teenage life. That probably explains why am running right now.

You see, the only reason that I am not seated down on a nice bench having lunch in the cool Dining Hall is because I am actually saving it from these gawky bullies. It just turns out that this is the season for most transfers into school and this one can afford extra chicken and a slice of pizza to the delicious fried rice and stew, plus a milkshake. It was self service at this school, can't blame myself. There is no way I am losing all this to some bullies.

So I ran along lonely alley that leads to the back of the cafeteria.

"Hey Freshling, stop!"

Guys, meet Fred Callister. The first nerd. He is the mouthy one of the four, but not their leader. He's resourceful at getting customers. He's also good at making stupid decisions.
I don't plan to heed to him so I ran along. I ran to the back  but ahead of me is Timothy Jones. The second nerd.
I should have known they know the institution better. Tim is smart. The brains of the four...really.
He is also naughty, crazy combination. Behind him is Mark Cooper. The third nerd. He is plump and always wore thick lenses. He is a computer nerd. The best of the four, and to some extent in the school too. And if I may add  painfully good at numbers. He's however not their leader.

He catches up with Tim. I turn around to the other two. Beside Fred is Jason Crawood. The forth nerd. He is well built and intimidating. He provides venues for the group meeting and parties. He is also their muscle. Huge and well built. However, he's not their leader.

I have been trying to lay low and hide whom I am. I tried to stay clear their path.
From what I learn of them, they are the best in karate and defense in the school. It's nice to know they teach that in this institution. But then again using that to bully others is not so right. Maybe I should fight them off. Teach them a lesson. You see I started defense classes when I was four. Literally in my diapers. I know Evah will be angry at this but, she doesn't really need to know. 

One final look at my delicious meal confirmed my mind. I was going to fight for it. Man to...well fighter. Not many here believed that girls too could fight.

"How about we play fair, a fair fight and the winner goes with the tray of food." I start.

Note 'tray'. Yes it was the only thing bigger than a plate that I could find. It wasn't illegal, not at all. Except when the cafeteria cook found you with it. So with that statement I decided to turn the tables around. 

Tim stepped in closer, " You know what, we don't want it."
He was so near I could smell his disgusting self. Then without warning, he hit the tray of food. It fell to the floor.
I watched painfully as it all went wasted. Even the milkshake which  I had not opened spilled on the floor. My precious lunch, gone.  

Tim crept behind me and held my waist.
"Tell you what, you kiss me and I'll let you go unharmed."
He  whispered to my ear.

Eeew. Him? Disgusting. I had had it. Angry Evah or no angry Evah he would pay. For my sake and my lunch.
I jabbed his side hard and broke free from his grip. Then I took one swift painful punch to the cheek. It was hard, just not hard enough to knock him down.
He turned around from the impact but held his ground.  He turn around rubbing his cheek. It had grown red and sore.
"You can't possibly be blushing right now." I started. I was gonna enjoy this.
"You b..."
"Best? Brave? No, I got it, Beautiful?" I finished.
"You'll pay for that." He growled.
The others were looking at me amused. I cracked my knuckles ready for my next victim.

Just then we heard a voice. Someone from behind me said something, referring to us.
It was not about the bell, it was still too early.
It wasn't the Chancellor, he wasn't in. Neither was it his deputy, he couldn't care less.
It was a sweet male's voice, more of an exaggerated question than a command.

"Why not just mess with someone your own size?"
