That One Nerd (Completed)

I Thought you were Different

"Meet me after school under the bleachers," he called getting further and further away. Sarah and Rebecca watched as I turned my head back so I was facing them. We all screamed at the same time. I couldn't believe the hottest guy in school was talking to me, the "cool nerd."

The bell rang and it was time for class. "Science! Grayson is in science with me!!" I said while all of us squealed in excitement. "But what if I'm not ready to talk to him yet? You both know I'm to awkward to talk to any guy." I whined. My friends stared at me blankly. "This is a once in a lifetime type thing. You'll never know if another guy like Grayson will ever talk to you again. Stop worrying and just get to class." Sarah said looking almost annoyed with me. I grabbed my book and hurried off to class.

"Today we are doing partner work," Mrs. Worley announced to the whole class. "I will be assigning the groups." The whole class moaned. She started to pair people off. My heart started beating faster each second. I realized there were only a few people left and Grayson was one of them. "Joshua and Isabella. That leaves Grayson and Rosie." I started to blush as I put my head down on my desk. "Follow all the directions and focus on what you're doing. Most importantly have fun." After Mrs. Worley had set free I started to get nervous again. I'd have to talk to him. The thing I dreaded the most. I watched as he picked up his stuff and carried it over the the lab counter I was at. "I guess we got lucky, didn't we blondie?" He said to me. I started to blush. He chuckled. "Let's get to work." While doing the experiment I looked into the microscope. I set my hand down on the table so I could lean in to see. "Umm I think it's prophase" I said with a very shaky voice. He leaned in to check himself. When he leaned in he set his hand on top of mine. When he pulled his head off the microscope I stared up at him. He laughed again while moving his hand away. "You're blushing again." I lifted my hands trying to hide my face.

The second class was over I ran to my friends to tell them about what happened, but first I had to stop at the bathroom. I was looking back behind me watching for my friends just in case I saw them walk by. The next thing happened quickly and suddenly. I somehow ended up on the floor. When I looked up from the floor I saw a handsome man looking worried. "Are you ok?" He said as he helped me up onto my feet. "Yeah, I'm ok." I told the boy. "I'm new here. He told me, "I don't really know where I'm going. I'm so sorry I bumped into you." "It's totally fine. I actually have to go sooo I'll see you later?" He smiled slightly, "yeah, sure."

I jogged back to where Rebecca, Sarah, and I all had our lockers hoping to find them there. Instead of seeing my friends I saw Grayson standing there. I felt bad that he had to see me looking the way I did. My hair was in a messy bun, I had a Harry Potter t-shirt on, and sweatpants on. I couldn't have looked more like a nerd. Oh and I have glasses. Adds to the nerd effect, right? "After you," he said leading me towards the door out to the field.

We walked under the bleachers. I had butterflies in my stomach. I had no idea what Grayson would tell me. I didn't even think he knew I existed. He stopped me. "Look up." I read a sign that said, Will you be my date to homecoming? I looked back down at him and I started to blush. "Yes," is all I said. It's all I needed to say. I grabbed his hands. No one I ever liked, liked me back. All of a sudden I heard a ton of boys come running out of the bushes. "HAHA GOT YOU! YOU'VE BEEN PRANKED!" "I can't believe she fell for it." I heard one of them say. I dropped his hands, "and to even think I thought you were different," I said as I ran off crying.
