Nerdy And The Beast

Nerdy and the Beast- Chapter 2

CHAPTER 2- I hate you

1 year later

"Hey pipsqueak! Think fast!"

A tub of custard hit my head causing custard to spray all over my face. I take off my glasses and sigh as I keep walking.

"See you in class!" Logan hollers as he laughs with his friends.

I can't believe that he was the guy that I showed around school just a year ago and now he's gradually making my life a living hell for no apparent reason. I knew it, people like him will alway be like this.

That first encounter with him had my heart racing and my breath hitching but now he has me hating him more than ever. why did I ever fall for him? (although I never admitted it)

I don't get it, one day he's playfully smirking at me and joking around and the next he starts throwing custard at me every morning and filling my locker with rubbish. what did I ever do to him? Was it cause I didn't show him around on the first day? No it couldn't have been that cause the next day he was completely fine when I eventually did show him around.

Who cares, all of this thinking is hurting my head. I need to use my head for other things, not this bullshit.

I walk through the office keeping my head down. The office lady shakes her head in pity as she stares at me. this was everyday.

All I wanted was to keep a low profile and get good grades but now I'm a target to everyone in this school. But I held my tears in and soldiered on, crying was for the weak minded and I needed to be strong. not everyone in life is going to be nice to me, the sooner I accept the better.

......

I clean myself in the bathroom and head out of my cubicle. the bell had just rung and I was late.

I run to class but just as I enter my day got a lot worse.

"Sorry I'm la-" I begin but a bucket of custard oozes onto my head from above.

The whole class laughs as the teacher shouts at them.

"Thought you needed more cause you looked hungry" Logan laughs.

"Need a little help?" Mandy the bitchy cheerleader says as she throws a couple of napkins my way.

My eyes start brimming with tears, this was the first time I let my emotions take over.

Logan looked sorry for me for a couple of seconds, almost hurt but of course it didn't last long because it was immediately replaced with a cruel smirk.

"Miss willows, you can go to the bathroom and clean yourself up. Logan you're seeing me after class" the teacher eyes him.

"Thank you" I mutter as I take my leave.

I can't hold it in anymore, it hurts so much. why is my life like this?

Just as I was about to give into my tears I bump into someone. I look up to see a handsome face stare back at me.

I stare for a few seconds then give into the tears that threatened to shed. He looked confused for a second then softens and pats my back.

Why wasn't he pushing me away, why wasn't he questioning my emotions?

"Hey, you ok? Let's get you cleaned up" he says softly.

My eyes widen as he lead to towards the bathroom. Who is this person and why is he so reluctant to help?

"It-it's ok, I can go myself. thanks for helping out anyway" I mumble as I step back, keeping my head down.

"How can I leave a lady like this, let me help you" he steps forward and continues ushering me to the toilet.

......

"So what's your name?"

I had just finished cleaning myself up with the help of this mysterious stranger. He had dirty blonde hair, deep green eyes and a lean muscular frame.

"Jamie willows" I reply, still keeping my head down.

"Jacob summers" he introduces as he offers his hand.

I shake it shyly.

"Keep your head up, it shows more of your pretty face" he smiles as he lifts my chin up.

I blush instantly when our eyes meet and look back down. He laughs and tells me I'm cute.

We reach the front of my class.

"Thanks for helping" I mumble as I turn to enter the classroom.

"Hey wait a minute, this is my class as well! What a coincidence!" He says as he rummages through a bunch if papers in his hands.

"But I've never seen you before" I look up with my eyebrow raised.

"Today's my first day here" he replies with a smile.

"Oh...."

"Are you disappointed?" He grins.

"No! It not that" i immediately reply in embarrassment.

"So you want me here?" He smirks

"Yes! I mean no! I mean....yes..."

I was such an idiot.

"Hahaha you're so adorable. Let's go in shall we" he pinches my cheek lightly.

I was still a little flushed when we entered the classroom. everyone stares at us, especially at Jacob. who could blame then, he was an eye candy.

"Welcome back miss willows as who may this be?"

"Jacob summers" he replies as he shakes the teachers hand.

"You may both take a seat"

I cautiously walk to my seat, still next to you-know-who while Jacob sits two seats behind me.

I turn to look at him to find him looking my way.

He waves at me while I shyly wave as well before turning my attention back to the board.

About halfway through the lesson I drop my pencil near Logan and reach out to pick it up. as I come back up I catch his eye.

It was look full of anger, his pupils seemed to go darker.

I look away, never turning back to look at him again.
