My nerd

2. Tutoring Megan

"so you're saying that Megan bumped into you and helped you pick your books? Huh? That's doesn't even make sense" Dan said with a confused face.

"I don't know why she did it but it was true. Paused. maybe she was drunk or something?" I said sharing the same look as Dan.

"This is confusing" Dan says and sighs.

"Anyways. I waved dismissively. I am not letting confusion take over me. I should be thankful that I wasn't purnished by her. We should do our assignment". I said taking my books from my bag.

"Yeah" Dan said also bringing his books.

We took hours doing our assignment, I had gone to Dan's house after school. We had been friends since childhood and even in highschool. Although I was a nerd, Dan was a jock.

............my nerd?.................................?

I went home afterwards. I lived with my grandma (my parents travelled out for work and grandpa is dead). My grandma and I are very close and we loved each other very much.

"Welcome dear" my grandma said and she hugged me. I hugged her back.

She's pretty old now but she's able to move around.

"Grandma, Dan send his greetings" I told her as I sit on the couch.

"Oh, Dan is such a nice boy" grandma said smiling.

"Yeah" I said.

"Your parents called and they......." Grandma said.

"Said that they are not going to make it, maybe some other time" I cut her off angrily. My parents had travelled for 5 years and their excuse for why they couldn't visit was they are busy.

That's absolute gibberish.

I don't even know what that means.

"Son try to understand ...." Grandma said pleadingly.

I didn't hear what she was saying as I stomped out of the sitting room to my room and shutting the door loudly.

I don't want to think about it. That has been the excuse for 5 years. I don't even care if they came or not. It won't bother me.

........my nerd?.....................................?

I went to school the next day, morning classes passed quickly, and I decided to go the library doing lunch break or else I would be bullied in the cafeteria.

I have gone through enough torture already.

"Hey nerdy boy" a voice called as it came closer.

Was it my imagination? I recognize that voice. That rude and cruel voice. That voice was. Oh no. Megan.

I had the feeling that my purnishment was not forgotten. Of course how will it be forgotten?, I had bumped into the most baddest girl in the school and left hurriedly without hearing my purnishment. Oh no am so dead.

I couldn't raise my head up from my book, I had stopped writing but my head was still faced down. Ground! Can you do me a favour and swallow me now? Please. I beg inwardly.

My palms are getting all sweaty. God please save me.

"Hi" I tried to say it boldly but it came out as if I was crying.

"You do remember that you bumped into me yesterday and you left without letting me say anything" Megan said as she plopped into the seat opposite me.

I knew it. She had come to purnish me.

"Am sorry. Finally raising my head up to look at her. But I had to leave, I would have been late to class".

Megan. Now that I look at her. She had dark long hair and blue hazel eyes that if you dare look at her for a second longer you will light up with fire. She was sporting a white tank top with a leather jacket and a black leggings. She always seem to have something black in her clothes throughout the time I had known her and even till now.

She muttered something like 'not surprising for a nerd'. And then she straighten up and spoked clearly in that intimidating voice.

"Mr. Bradford said you are to tutor me in biology for a month". Megan said looking at me straight in the eyes. I had to look away.

Why would Mr. Bradford do that? And why me? Okay, I agree I am very good in biology. I top the class every year. But that doesn't mean you should pair me up with a monster.

And the worst part is I had to agree. I heard of a girl who disagreed with Megan last year. Do you want to know what happened?. Even I don't know, and that's the point. Nobody knows what happened to her. I don't want to be a mysterious history. So I have to agree.

"Okay" I said. That's the only thing I could muster up to say.

"Good, we will start tomorrow then", she said as she stood up to leave.

Just like before, she was'nt with her 'followers' called 'friends'. Hmmm weird.

Maybe this was a way to purnish me. A month? More like a month of torture. I started to imagine the torture. I sitting with my hands and legs chained and she Megan sitting in front of me with a long horse whip. Yeesh. This is really not my year.

I least expected this, I mean can't I enjoy my last year in this forcefield high school in peace?. Must I suffer?. Oh God please let me get through this alive.

I left few minutes later after her. She seemed to have come with a vacuum to drain all my concentration and take it with her.

I didn't have any classes with her and I was grateful for that.

The classes after lunch break passed in a blur. I wasn't concentrated at all. I kept thinking of the type of punishment that I am going to receive for a month.

I wanted to tell Dan about it but he was very busy. He was in sports and the school is having a sport event in a few months and they have to prepare. I can tell him tomorrow anyway. We have chemistry and biology classes together.

"Welcome son" my grandma said from the kitchen.

"Hello Grandma". I said as I headed to the kitchen. She was cooking.

"How was school dear?" Grandma asked as she continued cooking.

"hectic",I said.

Mr. Bradford said u are to tutor me in biology for a month.

Those words are going to haunt me for a month.

"Okay. Go freshen up so you can have dinner" grandma said.

I am not going to tell her just yet. Maybe a little while longer.

I made to leave to my room.

"And yes, I would be traveling for a few days, my friend Mina, her granddaughter is getting married soon. I will have to go. And your aunt Tess is coming to visit while am gone" grandma said.

"Okay, tell Aunt Tess to get something for me while coming". I said before leaving for my room.

Aunt Tess is my favorite aunt. She is not married yet but have a very nice soon to be husband. She's very sweet and caring. At least, something good came out today.

I ate dinner afterwards and did my homework. I sat with Grandma later to watch TV before heading to bed

Tomorrow is going to be a long day.
