Not Your Average Romeo and Juliet

Chapter 3

Kylie POV

Calculus was awful, like usual. I mean, sure I understand it, but Ms. Todd is awful! She's probably the reason why I'm considered such a nerd, because apparently, I'm her favorite. I was grumbling to myself when I suddenly ran into something!

I dropped all my books and almost fell on my butt.

"Ow" the person groaned. Its voice was deeper, so I guessed it was a guy.

I looked up and saw one of the popular jocks on the football team. I think his name is Brandon.

"I'm so sorry!" I exclaimed and reached down to pick up my books, when he stopped me.

"Here." he had scooped up all of my books in a split second and placed them in my arms.

"It's okay, I've had way worse on the football field." he chuckled to himself.

"I'm Brandon by the way." he continued.

"Kylie."

"Well I should get going, see you around!" he exclaimed.

I eventually got to my locker. A huge crowd of girls surrounded me. The populars. They call themselves the Plastics, like in Mean Girls.

"Why was Brandon talking to you? You're a nerd!" One exclaimed.

"I thought he had a girlfriend." I answered.

"He does but I'll be his next one!" Another shouted

"Nerd!" The head "Plastic", I think her name is Olivia shouted. With that she knocked all the books out if my hands.

"You'll never be one of us!" Another yelled.

I almost started crying on the spot.

Suddenly a deep voice shouts,

"Get away from her!"

Suddenly the crowd parts, revealing a furious Ryan.

"Ryan? Why are you standing up for her, she's just an unpopular nerd!"

"Because she's nice and smart and real , something none of you will EVER be!"

He walked over to me and put his arm around me.

The Plastics gasped.

"Don't worry about them. They're just fake girls with pounds of makeup on their faces." He whispered in my ear. I snickered.

He bent down and scooped up my books, just as fast as Brandon had.

"Thank you." I whispered back.

"Any day. You better tell me if anything happens again."

"You bet I will."

"I have to go to Spanish now, you alright?" He questioned

"Yeah" I think I'm more okay than I've ever been before in my life.

He squeezed my shoulders with his muscular arm in a half hug. He strutted away and I watched with the crowd until he was out of my sight. Maybe it was just my imagination, but I thought I saw him turn around and wink at me.

I think I'm falling for Ryan Tuesdale.
