Super Geek (Camren)

Chapter 1: Oh Kryptonite!

Chapter 1: Oh Kryptonite!

As soon as I see her enter the hallway, with her long messy brown hair hideous blue Superman shirt, skinny rolled up high-water jeans, big Converse shoes, Superman logo tie, and bright red suspenders, I duck my head in my locker. I hear the jocks call her a nerd, and I look over my shoulder right before they shove past her, pushing her into the metal trash can that she knocks over, while trying to keep from falling on her face...which she does, anyway. The laughter that follows is not surprising; even I giggle when she quickly gets up and tries to play it off like she planned the whole thing.

"And that's how you make an entrance, people!" She beams and tucks her thumbs under her suspenders, proudly.

"Move it, Super Geek!" My best friend Dinah shouts, from behind the brunette, before smacking her head as she passes. Lauren narrows her eyes at the Polynesian,in a dorky attempt to give her the evil eye.

"Hi, Lauren! That was really cool!" My other best friend, Normani, compliments.

"Mani baby, don't encourage the dweeb," Dinah pulls her girlfriend away and walks toward me. Lauren's eyes follow them, until...

"Hey, Camz!" She's waving like a five-year old.

I groan and stick my head back in my locker.

"I can get rid of her; just say the word." Dinah offers, with an all too eager grin. I almost fear for the brunette, but I shrug and say...

"Swirly."

When Lauren makes her way over, I shut my locker and turn to look at her; she's smiling like a happy puppy...all she's missing is a wagging tail.

"She's STILL not interested, dork." Dinah says and grabs Lauren's forearm and drags her to the nearest restroom; Normani and I follow.

"Let go! What are you doing?" Lauren protests, as she's being pushed into an empty stall. "Oh no, no! Not-" The rest of her shouting is muffled by her gurgling and the flushing of the toilet. When the swirling of the water stops, Dinah let go of the brunette's now wet hair.

"And that's how you make a point, people!" The Polynesian mockingly laughs, as we make our way out of the restroom.

I am the last one out; and before the door completely shuts behind me, I hear Lauren shout, "Totally worth it!"

I smile and shake my head, without answering or looking back.

After first period, I go to my locker and switch out my English notes for my Biology book. When I shut my locker, I'm greeted by a dopey faced, well-combed Lauren. I stare at her hair for a few seconds because it's styled like a fifties greaser.

"Ah, so you like what you see?" She says with a quirk of her eyebrow. "You can thank Dinah because I really had to do something with my wet hair."

"Pfft, please! You look...you look..."

"Desirable?" She smirks and tucks her thumbs under her suspenders, again.

"You look like a doofus. Now, excuse me; I don't want to be late for Biology," I force out, before I become completely flustered by the brunette's new hair.

Lauren simply snorts and slightly bows, as she gestures for me to lead the way. I roll my eyes when she easily keeps in stride with me, even though I am practically speed walking to class, which we share.

"So, Camila; I've just been informed, via eavesdropping, that Shawn Mendes will be throwing an impromptu gathering at his place of residence, this nightfall...And I was humoring myself with the wonderment that maybe you would like to accompany me to the event?"
