Go and find your dictionary, look up Nerd and you’ll find a picture of me there; probably under freak too. I have braces, glasses (yet to come) a funny surname, spotty skin, funny shaped eyebrows and I detest sport. Everything about me screams different. I am that nobody who sits in class, the person everybody sees through – that’s just Harper, the nerd. It’s my label. I don’t have a popular friend, neither am I in love with my best-friend.
If anything I want people to leave me alone; people don’t see me for who I am. They can’t see behind the glasses; which I am glad of. People really don’t want to know the truth about me…

The Nerd Who Rules The School
"Who do you think you are? You are just some nerd." He sneered at me, looking down at me like he already owned this place. I chuckled at his ignorance, "Honey, I'm the nerd who rules the school." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ You know those cliché stories where it is either 'player and nerd', 'bad boy and nerd', 'bad girl and nerd', 'bad girl and bad boy' etc. What do all those have in common? Well, there's always a nerd that's weak and bullied. That's either the damsel in distress or she suddenly turns badass. But sorry to say, my story is completely different. People fear me, no one dares to bully me, even the cheerleaders and our school's star quarterback bow down to me. Oh you think I'm the 'bad girl'? Sorry, but I'm the nerd who rules the school.

His Slut Of The Week || Wattys 2016
I smiled at him but tears were starting to blur my vision together. "I hate you." His smile faltered and he looked taken back, "Not like that, Drake. I hate you because you make me cry. You're supposed to beat up the guys who make me cry, not be one of them." "But they are happy tears, right?" he clarified. I smiled and nodded my head, before gripping his shirt, pulling his body against mine. "I'll never make you cry because you're sad, understood? I'm never leaving you." I didn't respond this time, I just sat in his lap, holding his torso and he played with my hair. "I don't know if I can let you in yet Drake," I told him truthfully, the one thing I had been dreading telling him. "I know. But I'll never hurt you like the others have. I-"he cut himself off and took a deep breath. "Riley?" he moved me away from his shirt. I looked at him in the eyes and say an emotion. One I hadn't seen in a long time and one I haven't seen in his eyes before. "Can I kiss you?" __________________ Drake was the player of the school. Everyone knew his name. Riley was the nerd of the school. No one knew her name. Complete opposites but for some reason, opposites seemed to attract. Riley knew that Drake had a new girl every week, but she felt like she could change him. And maybe she could. Maybe she'd be different. *Based on a true story*Complete
The sass is real
Sass with a dash of class might as well be my motto. I live with absolutely no filter on my mouth or actions which isn't the best considering I'm a 'nerd'. Who said nerds can't fight back? Somebody needs to stand up to those bitches. Since nobody is qualified enough to take on those at my school, I figure I should do it...my way. I'm a nobody you might not wanna mess with. Simply put, Come at me broComplete

Little Sweet Dreamer
"Oh," he said, as my back hit the wooden wall. Damn it, of course. With nowhere to go, his arms locked me in between him and the wall. He stared down at me as he said, "So you're trying to piss me off?" His lips were surprisingly close to mine. No guy would ever be this close to me in real life, let alone me being able to handle it; I would've been so timid and afraid. But this was the dream world. I could speak and be as brave as I wanted to. "Yeah, I am," I said. "What are you gonna do about it?" He paused as his eyes looked between the two of mine. Then, he smirked and swiftly closed the gap between our lips. ~~ In a small town in New York, Hazel is your average quiet type. In a school full of clichés, she falls perfectly under the category of "nerd" and has her own little nerdy group of people she loves to hang around. They respect the fact that she's non-verbal. The thing that plagued her, surprisingly, is not her inability and refusal to speak, but her ability to go through anybody and everybody's dreams. This is not something she can control, nor something that's necessarily dangerous. It just happens. One second she's in darkness, the next second she happens to be in someone's dream. But, when she stumbles into a dream of a guy she never knew existed in her grade of 500 students, albeit his popular status, both her worlds get flipped upside down.Complete

"Next time tell me don't touch me." Draven was the bitchest bitch in the school and the new kid challenged that. What Draven didn't know was that one boy could change her life.Complete
A Cliché Love Story
Hi. I'm Grace-lynn. I'm a typical definition of nerd. Or geek. Or whatever you call the smart people that like to read and correct people's grammar and what not. My high school is filled with lots of different, yet stereotypical people. So me and my thick glasses blend right in. However, my solitary yet huge secret is what separates me from my classmates. Then somehow, I catch the eye of the school's biggest player.....how cliché! Yes this might seem like a overused and very cliché story, but I promise I won't like the player! Right....?Complete
