The Nerd's Personal Bad Boy

Sugar rush

Claudia's POV

lunch time

I stood in line and bought lasagna and coca cola, I looked around for an empty table for me to eat at, but that wasn't the only thing I was looking for, I hate to admit it but I was looking for him.

I settled at an abandoned table at the far corner of the cafeteria, I didn't really have friends because I was often taunted because of my knowledge of things, others would classify this as 'nerd' but even the math geeks and science brainiacs avoided me like the plague, why? well,not to brag but despite my brain's outstanding speed, I can't say the same for my locomotor skills.

I once burned down half the science lab because I accidentally mixed Glycerine and potassium permanganate and well, boom; and caused chaos at math club, I hadn't known that the wheels on the blackboard weren't locked into place, I leaned on the board and it swiveled to the glass display of trophies won over 3 years.

People stay away from me for the fear of landing into catastrophic proportions, I was bad luck to them.

"Claudia!" Someone shouted from across the cafeteria

I bid him no mind, I mean, it's really embarrassing! I feel a hundred glares on my head.

"Claudia!"

"Claudia Jean Wylls!" Daniel yelled again

"Claudia! fine. CLAUDIA JEAN WYLLS CHASE!"

I spun around and was surprised that I hadn't snapped my neck

what was wrong with him!!

"So you only comply if it's my surname? don't worry I'm marrying you anyway!" he said while laughing

Collective gasps were heard and wolf whistles

Damn it, I feel like the heat on my cheeks could cook an egg.

Ugh, this is so embarrassing!

I slowly stood up, covering my face and looked down

I bump into something,or rather someone

I looked up and found Daniel smirking at me

"And where are you going?" he said

"nowhere! what did you have to say that you screamed like I lived on the opposite side of the earth!?"

"Hi."

P.E.

We were running on the track today and well, I wasn't very good at it but obviously, Daniel was. Collective cheers were rumbling around the crowd when he beat the fastest runner of the track team by 26 seconds.

Was there anything this guy wasn't good at!?

I stared at him walking with his victorious glory, he looked adorable.

his cheeks were flushed with the light shade of pink and his brown hair was ruffled under his hand that was constantly going through it.

I spend numerous nights thinking of what we were, and after three pints of ice cream and a spongebob marathon, I've come to a conclusion that I had a crush on Daniel Chase.

A loud whistle echoed in the air

Ms. Llanes was the most strict teacher ever, just p.e. wise.

I always feared her, rain or shine, day or night, she'd make you run laps as if a pack of rottweilers were chasing you from behind, even the most superficial girls run, and that's saying something, it's so rare to see them not wear heels for a change, like seriously.

I have always been terrible at p.e., only because I always tripped on my shoelace, my shoe, or somebody else's shoe, I don't even know, I could probably even trip on nothing.

3 laps later and it was going okay, I let out a breath of relief, too early I suppose.

I plummeted into the ground, landing face first.

"Wylls! again?" Ms. Llanes said

I give out a sheepish grin and walked over to the bench where the first aid kit was.

I rinsed my bleeding knee with soap and water, dabbed some betadine and placed a stitch band-aid. I always tripped during p.e. and used up all the band-aids, therefore, I supplied the stuff.

I can't imagine the day I see Ms. Llanes walking around with a hello kitty band-aid

"You alright?" I was shocked to find Daniel kneeling in front of me, assessing my wound

"Fine, happens all the time."

His forehead was wrinkled and I couldn't help but chuckle, if he only knew this was probably the 326th time I fell.

I ran my thumb over his forehead to flatten the wrinkles and to my amazement, he relaxed under my touch.

"Wylls! get back on track! 30 laps for the day and you've only done 3!"

"She's wounded." Daniel said

"It's nothing serious, now chop chop! Time's running but you aren't!"

Daniel completed his 30 laps in under half an hour, that's why Ms. Llanes hadn't reprimanded him.

"I volunteer as tribute." he said

"Seriously!" I laughed

"I'm fine."

"No! you should be treated like a princess and let me redeem myself, I shouldn't have let you fall"

This guy.

Before he ran, he swiftly hugged me and kissed my cheek.

"DANIEL!!!!!!" I yelled as I touched my cheeks with my palm, it was still warm from where his lips had been.

He ran away like he was in a sugar rush, away from me.

His laughter echoed throughout the field and I couldn't help but smile.

Idiot.

but he was my idiot.
