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.
