The Nerdy Bet

One

I stumbled through the hall while trying to walk past the people, sighing when people pushed me to walk past the crowd...

Sometimes I felt that I was invisible to the people, so invisible that they really never notice me.

Perhaps in a literal way, I maybe was too thin and pale while they were olive ..for them to not see me.

Or in a more original circumstance , I was a nobody for them to notice me. Neither I was as fabulous as a Jock nor, as famous as a Popular. So they simply didn't wanted to pay any attention to know me.

If You aren't popular in school then you aren't relevant at all and being a nerd it the most irrelevant thing in your highschool life.

In schools it was cool to score at the top, but in highschool you would be defined with the numbers of classes you have missed and with the parties you have attended.

Its not like I have never tried to make friends, I did. But They had betrayed me and choosed popular ones over me. In Kindergarten I was too shy to talk to people, so I didn't talked much to anyone and in middle school it looked like everyone already knows each other and I was just an outsider to them.So it made me more afraid of people.

Once I made a best friend , ex best friend to be exact. She use to know everything about me, I use to trust her but then oneday at cafeteria I was exposed infront of the whole class in middle school. Don't even ask about the secret which I was exposed for, my Dairy was read in front of all and then I had became the sensation of the school for few months. So I gave up on people, well I do have 2 friends with whom I hangout but I don't trust them to expose my secrets to them.

"Oh geez" I muttered to myself in annoyance dripping from my tongue. I was getting pushed by the people through my way to the chemistry class, still I managed to reach it and won my victory. I internally did a happy dance over my achievement and placed my belongings over my usual spot. The nerd section.

The Class was quite empty and calm without the popular people babbling to themselves and laughing over stupid things.

There were few people who actually acknowledge me as human;and rather think of me as little nerdy bookworm who got no life.

I sat down and took out every thing I needed to pay attention in the class. Teacher would be here in 15 minutes and can start the class, so still have time to spend but instead of talking and socializing to others I would rather read the book, I have burrowed from the library about scent and perfume formation.

"Hey Coral" a chirpy voice chimed, in my trails of thought breaking my daydream. She was one of the two people with whom I actually spend time. She talks too much and is really talkative, sometimes it really annoys me and breaks my patience of tolerating anyone.

I simply returned "Hey Sophy, how are you?" with a small smile playing upon my face as some people started to come in the class, soon ma'am came

and started with the classes.

Sophy sat in the front row which is before me and then Biyanca came settling down at the seat behind me.

Classes were started and we were taking out our things, we had an assignment which I had already completed and was going to submit it.

We still had time before submitting it,but I had nothing else to do so Completed it beforehand.

"You still had time before submitting it" said Ms. Erica with a curious look on her face. "Yes I have but I didn't had anything else to do other than School, So I have completed it before" I said innocently, actually it was true that I didn't had much to do.

"You should try going out and act like a teenager, right!" she said with a sweet motherly tone..

I showed an uninterested look and she laughed at me, "Okay! Okay! I will give you this assignment later after marking it down" she said and put the assignment in her folder.

"Geez Coral, you already submitted it" said Biyanca with an annoyed and desperate look at her face. "I didn't even touched mine, let it alone completing it" with that she hit her head on the top of the bench making me and Sophy laugh at her childish nature.

"Don't worry we will help you with it then you will be able to finish it on time" said Sophy after suppressing her laughter.

"Stop Laughing will you!" said an annoyed Biyanca with a foul looking scowl playing up on her face.

"Class, now we are gonna start with chemical equation of Oakmos--" BAM!! the door slammed opened by an intriguing personality standing at the doorframe.

"You know class started 15 mins ago" said Miss Erica trying to be as calm as she can but failing miserably at it.

I was about to answer the formation equation which was ruined by some Jocks. Girls were drooling over those guys whom I don't even know the names but who cares. Those 3 guys were standing on the small doorframe of our beloved classroom flashing there white teeth on the girls whom they might had one night stands with.

"I am sorry for getting late, we were in our practices of football game which is going to be held after 2 months" said the guy with chocolate brown hair and red hoodie..

"Okay Have your seats Levi, Kevin and Calum; the seat in the third row there are three seats vacant" said Ms Erica, at that I snapped beside me seeing the seat empty internally swearing at the girls to let the seat be Vacant, I hate these kinds of narcissistic personality like these and sitting with them is already a dizzy moment for me. I feel like puking, but I won't.

I was somehow relieved that finally we will be paying attention to studies and not on some teenager cocky guys.

Wincing to myself as I got envious glares of all the girls, who was dying to sit with themselves.

Geez whats there problem, is he a celebrity or something? I thought to myself while focusing on class and ignoring him totally.

He sat down while I focused on my Book and started writing down the chemical formation of Fragrance.

I am interested in learning about fragrance, fragrances never differentiate between people before spreading its scent..

After all the stares a new stare added up in it, with those stares I felt unsettled and was getting more nervous about my surroundings. It was first time I was getting so much attention so to block every one I placed my book in front of my face and paid focus only on it.

After some time the girls stopped throwing draggers at me but not the guy sitting next to me, he somehow had an amused look on his face for god knows what and that's what I can see from the corners of my eyes.

"Okay Guys, now we are gonna put the theory into pratical use." Ms Erica said "So every one grab their lab coats and gloves to prevent any accident which can happen while handling chemicals."

"And the person sitting with you is your partner, so get up and start" Ms Erica dictated. After her dictation I got up to bring the equipments I need.

The whole class groaned in annoyance as they understand what It meant but my blood was getting freezed by the fact, shivering mentally when I turned around; my eyes met with the cocky guy who was staring at my face curiously, maybe trying to figure out who I was.

All the time while my way from bringing up the equipments to lab I had the clear fear of working with the Cocky dude.

*Coral just do your work and ignore him, he is not even interested to talk to you. So just ignore him and do your work* I said to myself internally swearing on my nervousness.

My heart beat was getting louder as I was going near to the classroom. Without a word I went to my table and started to do my work, when he thought of interfering between my work but a girl came suddenly pushing me out of the way to grab Mr. Chocolate hairs and asking him to be her partner.

Then she turned to me and said with a smirk on her face "Hey nerdy, you go there in the other table and do your stupid work.." and then she crossed her milky hands over her chest.

Two

"So just leave and let me work here" The girl in her mini skirt almost showing off her panties and flaunting off her cleavage started spatting with her stupidness trying to throw me off.

"And who said that you are gonna work here and not me" Coral said to her while facing her with confidence, people think that nerds aren't brave but its totally wrong. I am not a coward I can just roast anyone who tries to play with me..

"Get lost out of my way, I came here first and I am going to work here. If you want to work here go get permission from the teacher to work here or else f*ck off" she continued.

"You bitch" the girl in a miniskirt said and pull her hand to throw a slap in Coral's way but before she could slap her hands were caught by the teacher.

"Enough Is Enough Samantha" teacher said fuming with rage and anger dripping from her face, she was pissed off by the stupid behaviour of girl trying to crush other students.

"Go to your row and start working, am I clear?" Ms Erica said with anger rising up and down from her chest, after this the girl left and Ms Erica also went upto her desk instructing all about what to do.

"So eager to work with me" a snarky voice spoke up, self-centredness dripping from his manly voice.

Coral looked at him and scoffed at his way, saying "I would rather work alone than working with someone like you, who are you btw?"

"You don't know me, are you serious" he said,his ego was badly fluctuated by the said girl and it was true, she actually didn't know who he was let it alone fueling his ego.

"And you said you would rather work alone than working with me" he said trying to save his fame as a player Jock, "You are kidding me?" he again tried.

"I think I was clear enough with my accent" Coral continued with " I would rather work alone and yeah I like to work alone instead of working with some unknown narcissistic personality"

As she said she mixed Everclear with Citrus Extract and let the Distilled water heated up then added red drops of food colour to colour the cologne, adding few drop of woodsy essential drops.

"So you are saying that you don't desire to be with me" This freezed Coral as he said and put his hands on her small waist resting it there.

Her blood was freezed cold by his act and then she took the test tube in her hands throwing the colonge at his hoodie making it scent fresh.

"Hey, what are you doing?" Kevin Said with a shocked face and continued with " What was that?".

"If you again try to pull another act like that, I won't scent you up this time! remember it." and with that she left.

"Ms Erica, aren't you going to punish her! I could have been burned" he said with still the shock face he had hold for few minutes.

"She knows what she did" Said Ms. Erica while suppressing a chuckle in her voice.

On the other hand Kevin's friend Couldn't hold themselves anymore and started laughing loudly at the event that had happened.

"Geez man, Your ego was broken by a little nerd" Levi said while Calum was trying to smell the fragrance which was made by Coral and throwed at Kevin's favourite hoodie.

The fragrance had a scent like in Woods and not to lie it was really great to wear on a perfect sunny sunday.

"I am smelling like a forest, I am have been showered with a whole bottle of freshly made perfume" Kevin murmured to himself softly while lowkey liking the fragrance on him.

...****************...

The Bell rang signalling that it was the time for other class which was maths and I hate that shit, It was the stupidest thing in the world..

Like why They have xyz in maths it is supposed to be in English.

"Ma'am, so she isn't going to be in trouble" I said scoffing in annoyance with the fact that a random girl deflated at me.

"I will deal with her, later. Now you guys go leave my class and go to your next class" she said in a sarcastic tone.

I saw her at her locker picking up her books like a nerd she was, preparing for her next boring class.

"Hey!" I greeted her trying to be friendly towards her. She gives my ego a throwback and I wanted to know if she is just playing an act just to get my attention.

"Not You again" she said with a scowl on her face and then she scoffed at me pushing me aside, making me wonder if I was invisible to her.

"Hey, do you really don't know me" I again asked her still not being able to digest the fact that she doesn't knows one of the popular guy in school.

"Will you stop disturbing me, idiot" she said to me, while having a annoyed look crossing upon her face.

The corridor was getting crowded and people were pushing each other to take there books and running towards there class, I was also getting pushed resulting in Coral also getting pushed by the crowd and was going to fall but on time I caught her trying to hold her in her place. I was holding her small waist from her oversized tee , gosh she was actually slim.

Her eyes are Greyish brown, big eyelashes and deep eyebrows. Even without makeup she was actually really beautiful, why did I never saw her. Behind her large specs she had hided her beautiful face, her hairs were long waved and honey coloured.

"Gosh, was I blind all this time" I said to myself in utter shock

Three

"So what are you going to do today, after getting abruptly insulted by a silly girl?" Levi said ,then both Levi and Calum again started laughing harshly; "Man it was hilarious, the look on your face when she said she doesn't know you was fantastic. I can pay hundered bucks to get that reaction again" they said between their snorts.

"Just Shut up you both" I scoffed in annoyance; gosh a nerd girl with glasses, made me look like a Joke to my own damn friends.

"Okay! Okay! sorry for crushing your ego" He said suppressing his delight by my insult in front of the whole class. "By the way Kevin, she was too beautiful for a nerd. isn't!?" he continued.

"I don't know , I didn't payed attention to it" I lied to him so that they can stop irritating me. But the next thing Levi said was shocking.

Levi isn't like us, you can almost keep him in your good books list. He is a good student with B+ and A's in report card with volunteering report at the end of session.

"Geez What I am gonna do with this smell?" I said to myself in a whisper which my friend also heard.

"Why don't you ask your girlfriends?" Calum said to me while trying to suppress his laughter...

"Girls loves me, wasn't this your line few days ago" Levi said while laughing wholly..

"Will you both just shut up" I Said loosing my mind totally, I was tired of their laughter. All of a sudden Levi with a devilish smile said "Hey let's bet on that nerd"

"What! What bet?" I asked Levi being a little curious over his suggestion, waiting for his answer.

"See dude, we all want some fun? right!" he said, continuing with "so why don't you try to make her fall in love and then break her heart in front of all the people at the upcoming prom?" he completed with a wicked smile.

It was unexpected coming up from him, he never talks about playing with girl's emotions, like I said He can be in anyone's good book.

"But I never expected something like this from you, why do you want me to take some bet like this" I asked him with curiosity playing in my mind.

"Why ?? Are you scared now?" he said continuing with "Is the great Kevin, the Casanova, the player scared of a nerd?" he teased me with a wicked smirk playing on his lips.

"I am not scared of any shit, stop teasing me" I scoffed at him trying to act cool as usual.

"No, no I am not teasing you in any way" he said trying to act serious, continuing with " So I am gonna give you 1000 dollars for the task be completed and during the bet you can't do any one night stands and neither betray her! Okay?" he said having weird clauses in the bet.

"Okay so you need to start it from tomorrow onwards" he said and continued with "And you should not eye any other girl for the time being, if any girl forces themselves on you just ignore them" he said , what weird clauses he gave, geez.
