My nerd

4. introducing Megan

The drive to my house after school was quiet except when I gave her directions.

I began to feel at ease around her. I mean she doesn't seem like a bad girl except for her intimidating voice and badass dressing. But her attitude is different, she is kind inside.

"This is your house right?".she said cutting my thoughts off and pointing to my house as she slowed down. She was driving a black Camry.

"Yes it is" I said straightening up and preparing to come outside the car. She parked at the side of the house and we both came out and walked to my house.

I had completely forgotten that I stay with my grandma. Who is probably at home doing silly things. But when I realized it, it was too late. I had already opened the door.

And there was my grandma with a headphone on her ears dancing to some music. Headphone!! Where did she get that from?, I know I don't have a headphone. And yes my grandma is not too old to not be able to dance, she is unbelievably strong. also when I say dancing, I mean dancing. She's was busting some pretty good dance moves and.......

"Who is that?" Megan asked corking an eyebrow.

Oh great, my grandma has embarrassed me in front of the most baddest girl in school. My life is officially over.

"Th...... that's my grandma" I said trying to hide my face from embarrassment.

She looked at grandma and then turned to me and then my grandma's.

Then she broke out in a fit of laughter. Her shoulders shook as she laughed uncontrollably. The laughter was so loud that my grandma noticed through her headphones and her face was priceless. I would have laughed too but I was staring at Megan. I was surprised that she could laugh like that. There are only two emotions she shows in school. Anger and blank. I felt happy that I could see another emotion like laughter.

Megan coughed hard dragging me out of my reverie. The laughing must have hit her hard because her face was becoming red and her eyes teary. Grandma quickly brought a cup of water and I took it from her. I bent down as she was now sitting on a chair and helped her drink the water. It was after she had downed some water that we realised our hands were touching. I quickly recoiled before my palms get sweaty. She was still staring at me but I couldn't read the expression on her face.

"Are you okay dear?" My grandma asked stepping forward.

Megan left her gaze from me to my grandma and then back at me. Her face was completely blank.

Something tells me that what is about to come will not be good. Maybe she's going to get really mad. I don't think I want to see that.

"That was hilarious", Megan said chuckling.

Oh thank goodness

I stared at my grandma and gave her the-not-cool look and she returned with an apologetic look.

"Don't feel sorry Mrs....",she trail off waiting for my grandma to speak. She must have noticed the look thing.

"Mrs Shelly.but you can call me Shelly" grandma interjected smiling.

"Yeah. Shelly no need to feel sorry, I really needed that laugh".she said smiling widely.

"Very well then"grandma said grinning widely. She turned and look at me and gave me a look I couldn't understand. Then my brain seemed to have googled it. It was a who-is-this-girl look. Ha introduction.

"Em grandma this is Megan, she is from my school. Our biology teacher referenced her to me. I am to tutor her for a month, I paused and looked at Megan. And Megan this is my grandma,Shelly"I said grinning.

"Nice to meet you"Megan said shaking my grandma's hand.

"You too dear. Feel at home, I will go get some snacks"grandma said walking away to the kitchen.

"So this is your house" she said facing me after looking around. I bet hers is more fancy than mine.

"Yeah. I stay with my grandma"I said.

"What about your parents?"she asked corking her eyebrows.

"They travelled for work" I said

"Hmm"she said taking a glance around.

"Am back" grandma said cheerfully as she walked to us with a tray of snacks.

She dropped it on the table as we dived in. Grandma makes the best snack ever.

"So. Grandma said ready to start a conversation. You are having problems in biology?"

"Yes ma, our teacher said if I don't improve, I will fail in this year's result. my Dad would freak out if he finds out. Megan said chewing some cookies.

"Well. Am happy Jason here is tutoring you, you will be good to go in no time" grandma said smiling.

"Thanks ma" she said smiling back.

"You said your dad, what about your mother dear" grandma asked chewing her cookie slowly.

"My....my mum died 5 years ago", she said as her face turned to a sad one but as soon as it came it disappeared and she was smiling again.

"Oh dear, am so sorry I didn't mean to pry" grandma said as her face flushed with concern.

"It's okay Shelly. Am fine"she said smiling widely.

"Alright" grandma said.

The conversation continued between them and I chirped in on a few but majorly stayed quiet on the others.

"It's getting late, I better get going" Megan said as she stood to leave. They were talking for 30 minutes and it was really getting late.

"Alright dear.grandma paused and looked at me. Jason excort her to the door".

"Okay" I said standing up and walking to Megan.

"Shelly, thanks for the snacks", Megan said grinning widely

"Dear you don't have to thank me, you will receive more when you come again. Grandma said chuckling.

"Okay ma. Bye". Megan said waving as she opened the front door and walked out. I followed behind her closing the door.

"Your grandma is cool"Megan said as she opened the door of her car.

"Um-hum okay. Bye"I said giving a small wave.

"Bye"Megan said as she drove out and zoomed off.

Today went well. Even more than I expected. I mean who would believe that Megan the baddest girl in school, came to my house and chit chat with my grandma. That she could laugh and smile widely. If someone told me that, I will laugh uncontrollably till my stomach hurts.

Maybe this tutoring wasn't so bad after all.
