Nerd in Disguise (Psycho Series Book One)

Chapter Four

Classes had gone by pretty quickly and it was now lunch time, as I was making my way through the crowded hallway and trying not to make my presence known when all of a sudden someone tripped me.

My sketchbooks had fallen down as I was picking them up while the students around me just laughed. 

"Look at the pathetic little bitch," Clarissa laughed with her friends as she kicked my hand. I was about to defend myself for the first time, because I knew my mother would make me pay if I didn't when someone else did.

"Oh leave her alone Clarissa. I'm sure you have something else to do than waste your time on this miserable girl," Zian said, as she just laughed and went away, but not before kicking me one more time. 

Everyone scattered and went back to what they were doing, but I saw Alexander smiling at me mischievously with an evil glint in her eyes. I already knew she would be the one to tell mother about this little incident.

"Are you alright?" He asked, worry laced in his voice as he handed me one of my sketchbooks.

He seemed so kind and caring or maybe it was because he was the first person to actually offer me help. Something in me wanted to be friends with him, but I couldn't.

"I'm fine, but you should stay away from me unless you want to be the school's next punching bag, besides me of course," I said, adding in the last part quickly.

Leaving him with his mouth wide open, I took my books and bag and quickly made my way to the cafeteria before he could say anything.

When I made it to my table, my annoying sister was already seated waiting for me with an evil smile plastered on her face.

"Say anything about what just happened and I will rip that smirk right off your face dear sister," I threatened her as she let out a laugh, causing a few students that were near to look at us weirdly.

She took a big bite of her apple before speaking. "Oh sister, which I hate with all my heart. I cannot wait to enjoy seeing you in the pain that mother will bring to you."

I so badly wanted to slap her right then and there, but because of where we were, I was forced to calm myself down.

She smiled at me knowing that I wanted to hit her but couldn't. If I had knocked her, then we would both be at each others throats and no one would be able to stop us.

I guess that's the wonderful joy of having a pain in the ass twin sister. Still, it was hard for me to believe that we managed to survive in the womb without one of us killing the other.

"Oh Andria," she sang softly. "What will mother do when she finds out that you are going soft and to think that you are her favourite."

Smiling up at her, I took one of the grapes off her plate and ate it before responding. "Alex, Alex Alex. If you don't shut up, I'll be forced to rip out your tongue and I'm sure you don't want that."

She only smiled at me before continuing to eat her food. I'm sure she had plenty to say but the look in my eyes prevented her from taking this further.

Then again, any conversation in my family could quickly go south and no one would like to be a witness to our occasional fights.

"Sister," I spoke up after our little silence. "Do you want to pay Danny a visit with me?"

She was instantly looking up at me, her eyes filled with excitement as a smirk danced onto her face. It had been a long time since the two of us had some fun together.

"It's Friday, which means he'll definitely be at the club looking to cause some more trouble," I smirked at her, knowing there was no way that she would say no.

"Of course Andria. After all, I think it has been quite some time since I have last seen him." The look of excitement shining in her light blue eyes.

The bell rang as we both got up and headed to our separate classes.

I was seated in my sit as I waited for the rest of the classroom to enter and for this school day to end. The many thoughts that were racing through my mind made it hard for me to concentrate on my drawings, so I ended up ripping a lot of pages.

The day seemed to be dragging now that I had somewhere to be once school was over.

Time is quite a funny thing. When you don't care about anything or you are having a good time, it flies by quickly. Now that I really wanted this day to end, time seems to be strolling.

Finally, I managed to make it through the day as I dashed out of the class one second before the bell rang and headed straight to the gate to see Alexander early for once.

"Wow, early for once," I commented as she rolled her eyes at me and began walking out.

"Just shut it before you ruin my happy mood," she snapped causing me to chuckle.

Looks like someone is happy about tonight.
