The Big Bang Theory Academy

Chapter 18- From Nerd to Queen

Leonard was surprised when lessons commenced as usual despite the cancellation of orientation. Apparently, the principal Mdm Haig had wanted to make sure that there were 'minimal disruptions to any scheduled lessons so our students will not be at a disadvantage despite what took place'.

Fortunately,the guys and girls had exchanged numbers previously ,so they could keep in touch even though they were in different homerooms.

'Why are you here? ' Sheldon asked Leonard who had taken a seat beside him.

'I'm in this homeroom.'

'Are you sure? I mean, this is an advanced class, from what I know. ' Sheldon said.

Leonard knew it was no use trying to explain things to him, and he knew even if he took offense Sheldon still wouldn't understand why.

'I signed up for the advance class too. Hopefully it all works out. If not, I don't mind getting some help from you.'

'I'm so flattered, and now that you are officially my friend, I guess I don't mind.' Sheldon answered with a shrug. 'Come to think of it, you all are the first friends I have. '

Leonard smiled sympathetically. 'As long as you don't get on our nerves any more than you do. ' he mumbled to himself. He took a double take when he saw Dave seated at the back of the class, hitting on a cute brunette.

'I think the question is, what is Dave doing here? '

Sheldon turned around in his chair. 'I guess like Stuart, he probably has connections to the school so he pulled a few strings and got into this class.'

'Hold on. ' Leonard squinted. 'Is that Amy? '

Sheldon panted like a puppy, which was his version of a chuckle.'Amy does not look like that. Amy's hair is a duck caught in an oil spill. This girl has lovely tresses. And notice the lack of glasses.'

'It is her,' Leonard widened his eyes. 'But just this morning she was... the same old her. How did she change her appearance so quickly? '

'This is bizarre. Well, I guess the best thing to do is march over and question her. ' Sheldon got up and marched over to question her.

'Good morning. Is this Amy farrah Fowler? ' Sheldon asked.

'Why of course. You don't recognise me?' The girl in front of him raised a neatly plucked eyebrow.

'What did you do to her?' Sheldon asked, alarmed.

'She's a total babe, huh? ' Dave spoke up, a sleazy smile on his face. He tilted his chair so it was on its back legs but he leant backwards casually as if he wasn't afraid of gravity. '

'Well then. What did you do to her?' Sheldon fixed him an expressionless stare.

'Well, Penny did this actually. Pretty cool huh? ' she grinned. Sheldon then realised how sweet her smile was, and the warmness that those brown eyes held.

'It certainly is not. 'Sheldon pursed his lips. 'I liked you just the way you were, Amy farrah Fowler. Now you look just like one of those airhead blondes who yammer on about boys and celebrities instead of important subjects like science. ' Sheldon blurted out.

'Don't be silly, Sheldon. I'm just like you. Are you saying a girl can't be both beautiful and smart?'

Sheldon was speechless. 'Very well.'

'And by the way, I'm not joining you guys for lunch anymore.' Amy said, looking slightly uncomfortable.

'Who are you joining then?'

'Us. ' Dave slung an arm over Amy's shoulder.

'This is not over, David. 'Sheldon placed two fingers at the side of his temples and glared, trying to explode his mind.

Dave just raised an eyebrow and continued talking to Amy.

'Change her back.' Sheldon announced at lunch. He had gone over to the populars' table, where Amy now sat with Penny and the rest of her friends.

'What? ' Lee, a handsome Asian guy looked pissed.

'Penny, change Amy back. ' Sheldon said firmly.

'What are you doing here?' Amy whispered -yelled.

'Amy? You don't like the way you look?' Penny looked hurt.

'I do. Sheldon's just being... Sheldon.' Amy answered.

'I don't. ' Sheldon folded his arms over his chest.

Amy's heart warmed a little, but she was getting irritated. All she'd dreamt of was finally coming true. Being in the in crowd, having special treatment. She wasn't going to throw it away.

'Sheldon, you're not welcome here. Please leave.' Amy exclaimed.

'The queen has spoken, buddy. ' Jake, an athletic guy sneered.

'Just because she likes to wear that stupid tiara, it doesn't make her queen. It makes her look like she's three. ' Sheldon retorted.

'Stop embarrassing me, Sheldon Cooper. You're just jealous you can't be a part of us.'  Amy heard herself say before she could even process her emotions.

A hand reached out and grabbed Sheldon's sleeve. 'Cmon Sheldon,' Howard hissed. 'If that's where Amy wants to be... we can't deprive her of that. '

'Well, will you help me to exact revenge on Dave to reveal his true colors in front of my sister?'

'Yeah, sure. ' Howard shrugged. 'But first, let's focus on solving the mystery once and for all so Penny won't get her panties in a bunch any longer. '

'I don't understand, Howard. Why does Penny hang out with them and then mingles with us after school?'

'Social dynamics, Sheldon. ' Howard said sadly, his mind drifting to when Penny revealed that Bernadette had been making out with Leonard. 'And we're nowhere near the top. '

A/N: mostly about Amy's steady ascent up the social ladder...what do you think of this chapter?
I may not be updating as frequently anymore as my school is starting in exactly 2 days and I have yet to complete my homework (yay for procrastination!)
