Unpredictions are waiting for you everywhere
-+-++-+++-+-+--+--+--+--+-++--++-++-++--+--+-
It's a school morning again, ugh I hate going to school. It is a stupid place where everywhere everyone is throwing tantrums. It's already seven in the morning and school is going to start in one hour from now on. I've to get ready.
"Fuck! fuck! fuck!"
"Amy, what are you saying?" Mom asked from the kitchen.
"Oh! Mom, I'm just pretending to be a duck that's why I said Quack! quack! quack!"
Amanda, you're so dead dear I thought to myself.
"And why that so? Are you pretending to be a duck? Anyways you're getting late for your school. Now hurry up."
I quickly ran to the washroom to shower. The shortest shower in the history of showers. Then, I ran towards the mirror. I'm not the hot girl with a perfect body and curves but I'm not that bad. I've got blue eyes and brown hair. In short, I'm a brunette. One thing I'm happy about is my leniency to the height which others find hard to digest.
Uh-huh, I should stop thinking! I slapped myself. I'm getting late and what I'm doing is starting myself enough to get accepted.
Now time to get dressed, show some power to the world, Amanda.
Yes. Some power which I hardly have. I chose simple clothes for my nerd look. A pair of pants and a white plain shirt.
I've to take the bus every day and I hate it but it's only for two months then I'll purchase my new car. I'm saving for it for almost one year.
Suddenly I heard the horn from behind me, where he was in his BMW - Cole, the playboy of our school.
"Watch it nerd!" he yelled.
I showed him my middle finger. Whoever he is but I don't tolerate disrespect.
And then he vanished. Like he never came.
Finally, the bus came. I reached school almost at eight when it is about to start. Thank god!
Vanessa was waiting for me at the school gate. Vess is my friend since kindergarten. She's my only friend at school.
"Hey, Vess!" I said warmly.
"Where were you all the time? I'm standing here for almost half an hour!" As always she was angry about me being late.
"Oh oh sorry Vess baby! Now hurry up, first class is about to start." I tried to calm her down.
"Amanda"
"Here!"
"Cole"
"Here!" He said with a wink.
Oh, what the hell? First of all his name is after mine and second, he winked at our teacher to which she replied with a smile.
I have nothing to do with him. However, He always glances at me and tries to chuckle at me which made my blood boil whenever his name comes after me.
"Hah! Now here come flirting," I whispered, under my breath with frustration.
"Amanda, is there any problem?" Ms Thompson asked.
"Oh no, absolutely not Miss," I replied with a fake smile.
"Then pay attention, you're a very bright student."
"Uh thank you."
That stupid Cole laughed again.
I mentally slapped myself. Concentrate, Amy. You're the nerd here. Don't get bothered by that stupid Cole.
We were walking in the hallway, during our free period. Until then we heard whispers.
"Hey guess, who is Cole's new girl?" I and Vess heard some girls gossiping around.
Vess insisted to listen more. So, I agreed with her.
"She is Veronica, the fashionist Veronica."
"Oh! that bitch! She is the most heartless person, Amy. I'm telling you."
"Uh, whatever! She is the bitch and he is the player, the perfect match."I uttered.
Vess laughs. "What is a player?", She asked with a smirk and I hate that smirk. She is thinking something. "well, It is the combination of Playboy and jerk, Vanessa."
"You know what?"
"What? "
"I'm thinking that my Amy has a crush.''
I mentally slapped myself.
"Oh? And who's the unlucky one you're talking about?"
"Cole darling. Now don't act dumb!"
Why? God! Why on earth is she my friend?
"Vess! Why on earth will you think that I like that boy! We have nothing in common! "
"Oh leave it. At least for one time for me, check him out please." She asked with her flattering smile.
"Uh ok! But you've to promise that you will never say he's my crush again, ok?"
That was the only way to stop her.
"Deal," she said with a smirk.
"Deal it is then," I uttered.
Where are those stupid players? I'm searching for him everywhere. Finally, I found him outside the cafeteria smooching Veronica.
"Wtf! I'm not going to check him out while he's smooching that girl." I said to Vess.
"No no no, the deal is a deal. Check him out now!"
"Ok," Today is just not your day Amy. Calm yourself down and just check him out.
I started eyeing him from head to toe. Uh well, he has a built body with broad shoulders. Holy! He has freaking eight packs. He has brown eyes and brown hair as well.
And his height looks like almost 6"3. Omg he's so tall. While I was checking him out, he quickly glanced at me with a smirk.
"Now don't you think he's hot, Amy?"
"Shit."
She giggled. "I know he's so damn hot but you've to be patient Amy," she said playfully.
"Shhhhh! I think, he caught me checking him out." I'm totally worried now.
"Amy now you're assuming. I don't think so," she assured me.
"Uh ok let's go to the class Vess, we're getting late." We started walking towards our next class algebra. She doesn't like the subject but she has to spare it with me as always. Perhaps, I did a mistake looking at him which I won't repeat.
"So, how was he?" Vess asked.
"Who?"
"Cole Maxwell." She whispers.
"Oh well he is just another guy in this school and we have one thing that is common between us."
"And what is that?"
"We both have brown hair. Now come on, we're getting late."
"So class here is the question, you've five minutes to solve this." Mr Federer, our maths teacher, said.
Well I know how to solve this question, it is very easy. I easily solved it.
"Uh Mr Federer, I solved it."
"Very good Amanda.", he said proudly.
"Now anyone else who doesn't know how to solve this?", he asked the class just to make sure that nobody answers.
"Yes, Mr Federer!" At the back, someone yelled. And I think I know who he is.
"What it is Cole? You didn't get it?"
"That why on earth are we doing this?" he yelled.
"What do you mean?"
"Nothing I think I get it that Maths sucks, so do you, Mr Federer.", he replied. I could sense a cautious environment around me.
Why do we have to ruin every class?
"Get Out! Now!!!!"
It will be good if he stays away from here.
"Bravo!", he cheered while laughing and got out of the class.
As the rest of the day passed, all classes were finished. Vess has her car. She was waiting for me outside the school to pick me up when we were heading toward McDonald's.
"So Amy, what do you think about Friday's party?", She asked.
"Uh What? I can't go I've some projects to complete, Besides mom won't allow so I can't go.''
"Well, I've got an idea." My blonde friend smiled, not just a smile it was a dangerous smile meaning, she is thinking something evil.
"OH NO NO NO! Don't ever think about it, Vess."
"Oh yes yes yes! And why not you're my BFF forever." And there you go! it happened again.
"But whose party is it? And why are we invited?" I don't know why I'm invited. Don't get me wrong but I'm not the one with whom you can go to the party. I'm plain, simple and boring except for my intelligence but not everyone like it. But Vess, she's quite different from me. She is not a nerd. She's a badass type and that's the thing I like about her so much.
"Dylan invited us.", she replied with a cheeky grin and I know something was up with her.
"But he is Cole's best buddy and you know that I don't like that play jerk."
"But Dylan is not like him he's different.", she whispered.
"How can you say that?", I demanded.
"Because he invited us. Now don't be dramatic and you are coming with me."
"Nerds are not supposed to go to parties Vess because they have much more important things to do!"
"Oh shut up! You're going to enjoy and so am I and no one will know who you are.", she assured me.
"Are you sure?" I uttered.
If my identity does not reveal then I may think about it.
"Absolutely!"
"Ok then. What will I do without you, you're my BFF after all." and then she hugged me.
"Deal it is then we're going to party."
"On Friday.", I added.
