I don't know, just a random idea, I guess.
This story is based off the movie 'She's All That'. I watched the movie and it was really interesting, and then I thought, hey, why not one of the Winx couples in this situation? So here I am. At first I thought of Stella and Brandon in this situation, but there are already a lot of SxB stories out there so yeah. Also, we already have a geek in the show so I was like, 'meh', TxT it is. The only difference is that the roles have been switched. Instead of the guy making a bet, it's the girl. And this story won't entirely follow the movie's plot though, so yeah.
I've included all the pairings here, but it will mostly just focus on Tecna and Timmy.
Also, I've made Tecna kinda OOC here, maybe everyone else too, I don't know, nor I'm even sure anymore. If they are, I promise you, they will be in more character in the next chapters, I just needed to get this first chapter off my chest. Okay? Okay.
That's all I've gotta say. Other than some bad language, but that's about it, I hope you enjoy reading!
He's All That
Summary: One of the most popular, yet smartest, girls in high school, Tecna, makes a bet that she can turn the nerdiest and unattractive dork she could ever find, Timmy, into a high school hottie and prom date material after being dumped by her boyfriend. But as time passes and Timmy starts to transform, Tecna couldn't help but develop real affections for him...
A certain orange-brown haired bespectacled boy sighed, practically dragging his book bag, along with folders held against his chest and other bags that are practically clinging on his arms and shoulders as he made his way to his school building, Magix Highschool, or as most students call it, Magix High.
He huffs as he prevented his bags from falling off by lifting his shoulders and arms for a moment, before continuing to walk around the campus. It was the end of Spring Break and classes are now back, much to his dismay. It wasn't like he hated education or anything, heck, he loved it. He wasn't called the 'Nerdiest dork in school' for nothing.
It was because of the people that went there. How almost everyone judge and label each other is beyond him and the highly intelligent brain of his. But he didn't care, a few months from now, and he's now out of this hellhole and into College. Given the fact that he has already been drowning in acceptance letters from colleges and universities lately, he is certain that being a nerd will somehow pay off, maybe someday. He heard many things about how College isn't like High School, people don't even care who you were in High School, so at least he has something to look forward to.
Pushing his red thick-rimmed glasses up the bridge of his nose, he looked around, observing the people around him. He knew that most of these people aren't as smart as he is, even his nerdy group of friends. Well, maybe except one, and that is Tecna Titania. They don't really interact much, so you can't really consider them as friends, or even acquaintances, at least, when it comes to anywhere else outside their Computer Science, Physics, Chemistry, and Algebra classes (which are the classes that they are in together, and coincidentally, the classes that they are both great at). But anywhere beyond that, they're just strangers.
And unlike him, being the 'Nerdiest Dork in school', she's actually quite popular. Despite being smarter than him, she's not considered a nerd, a lot of guys actually find her quite attractive and he also happens to find her really gorgeous, but he knew he didn't have a chance. So not only was she blessed with intelligence like him, but she's also blessed with beauty and confidence, something that he lacks completely. Sometimes, he thinks it's simply not fair. But when did complaining like a 5-year-old ever help?
Hearing the bell ring, signalling the start of 1st period, he sighs, readjusting his bags and walking off to his class.
Meanwhile, hours later
"Hey girls, sup?" Greeted an Asian girl with dark-blue hair in pigtails, Musa Melody, to her friends, the always popular Winx Club, as she sat down on her usual spot, with a tray of 'funky' cafeteria food. As she was about to dig in to her food, she noticed someone missing. "Uh, where's Tec?" She asked, looking around for any signs of her smart best friend.
The rest of the Winx girls shrugged at this. "I think Jonas wanted to talk to her or something." A blonde with fashionable clothing and a flawless face full of mascara, Stella Solaria, shrugged her shoulders as she took a bite out of a french fry. "I saw her outside with him."
"Oh?" The music-loving girl raised a brow, opening her juice box. "What does he want to talk about this time?"
"How would we know?" Asked an athletic girl with dark skin and cerulean eyes, Aisha Andros, "While Tecna and I were walking together on the hallways for lunch, he just came up to us and just pulled her away to who-knows-where."
"That was quite rude of him." Commented a Latina with narrow jade eyes, Flora Adams.
"Well, I hope their talk will end soon because it kind of feels incomplete being here without Tecna." A redhead with cyan eyes, Bloom Peters, muttered. "Like they always say, one for all, all for one."
"Because every popular girl group needs a smart one to guide the dumb bitches." Musa said sarcastically, rolling her eyes. "Am I right?" The girls, except Stella, snickered at this.
"Ha ha ha." Stella laughed sarcastically, knowing that the 'dumb bitches' is directed at her. "But seriously though, where is she? We need to do that badass walk in the hallways as if we're the most popular girls in school."
"But we are the most popular girls in school." Bloom pointed out, biting a piece of her pizza.
It was true; they are the most popular girls in school. The Winx Club, silly name, but almost everyone in this school pretty much looks up to them. Bloom Peters being the leader, Stella Solaria being the blonde airhead (don't tell her that), Flora Adams being the sweet and shy one, Musa Melody not only being the tomboy, but also loves music, Tecna Titania being the smart one, and Aisha Andros being the athletic one.
The Winx were currently in their 4th and final year of high school, and it was 6 weeks before their prom. How is Prom even relevant? Well, this is a high-school romance fiction, of course there will be Prom. Duh.
Before any of the Winx girls could say anything else, there came none other than a certain magenta-haired girl, Tecna Titania, with a rather saddened expression as she sat down next to Musa. "Hey, girls." She greeted them blandly as she set her lunch tray down.
Her friends, noticing her rather sad look and tone, asks her about it. "What's wrong Tec?" Musa asked in concern, looking up from her own lunch tray. "What did Jonas do? Or say? Or something?"
The pink-haired girl frowned at the mention of her boyfriend, or rather, ex-boyfriend. She looked up and was about to tell the typical lie 'It's Nothing', or 'I'm fine'. But noticing her friends' intense stares at her, she knew they wouldn't accept that kinds of answers and still pressure her into telling what's really bothering her. "I-it's nothing to worry about, girls, alright?" She tried to assure them, giving a weak smile. "It's just that..." She trailed off, as if to tell them 'Get ready for what I'm about to say'. "...Jonas broke up with me."
Bloom stopped eating her pizza to stare at the female genius in shock, Flora looked up from her meal in surprise, Stella dropped her orange juice, Aisha stopped eating, and Musa felt her jaw drop at this.
"What?!" Her friends all yelled in chorus, causing Flora and Tecna to flinch, and some nearby students to look at them with raised brows. Until Musa and Stella all glared at them, clearly saying 'get lost' to them, feeling the intense glares, those students tensed up and looked away, trying to mind their own businesses.
"Anyway," Stella cleared her throat, before suddenly grabbing Tecna's shoulders and began shaking her violently. "He broke up with you?! What?! Why?! When?! How?!"
"Stella, breathe." Flora tried the calm the blonde, she was always like this when it comes to relationships. "There must be some reason why he would want to break up, Tecna?" She looked at her pink-haired friend with a curious look.
"Stell, stop shaking her." Aisha commanded, prying Stella away from the dizzy girl, "Okay, now explain."
Tecna looked dazed for a moment, before shaking her head and regaining her composure. Taking a deep breath, she asked. "What would you prefer, a long drawn-out and detailed flashback about the breakup or should I just summarize it for you?"
The girls looked at each other for a moment, debating which they should choose. "We don't have time for flashbacks, so the second one, I guess." Musa shrugged, the others also agreed at this.
"Fine." She sighed, leaning her cheek on her palm. "Basically...Jonas dumped me for this reality show TV star that he met during Spring Break."
"That sucks." Musa frowned, even her boyfriend, Riven Titania, wouldn't do anything like that, despite him being a jerk and all.
"That's just low, even for him." Bloom shook her head.
"I bet you can find someone better, sweetie." Flora attempted to comfort her.
"Oh come on, you don't need him." Aisha says.
"Thanks, girls." Tecna attempted to smile at her friends' encouragements. But she still couldn't help but feel, not sad, but a bit bitter. "I don't know why, but this breakup isn't really affecting me much."
They blinked at this, "What? Then why do you look so sad, then?"
"Well, yes, I find this breakup a tad bit saddening." Tecna shrugged. "But it didn't really leave me much of an impact, to be honest. Sad? Perhaps. Depressing? Not necessarily. Though, it did feel a bit bitter that I'm now single, but that's about it. Other than that, I feel fine."
"Well, we're glad that you're coping well." Bloom smiled, "Unlike other people here..." She trailed off, eyeing Stella with a knowing look. Remembering the time where her boyfriend, Brandon Cruz, got into a Mitzi problem and she just kind of went depressed for a week. Stella huffed at this and crossed her arms.
"Whatever."
...
"-And so Riven was like-...oh shoot." Musa rambled about her boyfriend to her best friend as she and the Winx walked around the school campus, but stopped as she spotted a certain blond making out with some girl in the direction they were intending to go. She stopped her friends' tracks and whispered, "Ex-boyfriend, 12 o'clock."
The girls gasped at this while Stella scrunched her nose in disgust at the outfit that the girl was wearing. "Ew, what kind of person even wears that with that col-"
"No time for that, Stell." Musa interrupted her blonde friends as she and the Winx turned around, gathering around with Tecna on the middle so she cannot be seen.
"Let's go now, please." Tecna pleaded as she looked back in disgust, who really wants to see their ex-boyfriend making out with someone else? No one, that's who.
Just as the girls were about to retreat, they were stopped by a male voice calling out for them. "Hey!" To their horror, they turned and saw Jonas and his new girlfriend approaching them.
"Cover her!" Stella yelled-whispered as the surrounded the female genius, trying to act as normal as possible.
"Hey, ladies." The blond boy with blue eyes greeted them as his new girlfriend practically clung on his arm. "Have any of you seen Tecna?" He asked sarcastically, looking around in an almost sarcastic way.
"Not really." Musa lied, frowning to him. "Why would you look for her, anyway?"
"Because," He started, approaching them closer and pushing Musa and Aisha away, revealing Tecna frowning and glaring at him. "I want to see her."
"What do you want?" She snapped at him, she was still bitter about the breakup and is not intending to have a chat right now.
Jonas just chuckled as he held his arms up in defense, while his new girlfriend gave off this high-pitched annoying laugh. Much to the Winx's annoyance. "I just want to see how you're coping with being single. You know, being left by someone like me does kinda suck, does it?"
"Who the hell do you think you are?" She snapped again at him. "It's not like that sorry excuse of a breakup left an impact on me, anyway!" She exclaimed at him, before gesturing to her surroundings. "There are 2500+ guys in this school and I bet any of them could replace you in my life!"
"Hmm, is that so?" Jonas asked with a smirk, "I doubt it."
"You are replaceable." She narrowed her teal eyes at him. "Like I said, any of these guys can easily replace you." She repeated, gesturing to her surroundings, "I don't care if you're the 'cutest' guys in school and that sort of bullshit, but I can bet that one can surpass that."
"So, is that a challenge, I hear?" He asked dangerously, still smirking.
Before Tecna could respond, Stella yelled out, "YES!" She yelled, "Tecna here can definitely make a guy here much better than you! I guarantee it!"
"Are you sure about that?" Asked Jonas to Tecna.
"Wait what." Tecna blurted out, eyes wide. Is she serious right now?
"She means yes." Stella grinned as the rest of the Winx girls just slapped their foreheads.
"Stella!" They exclaimed.
"What?" Stella asked, completely missing the point.
Jonas thought about it as he ran his fingers through his blond perm, before looking at Tecna with a smirk. "Here's the challenge: Try to make at least one guy more popular and attractive than I am in less than 6 weeks."
"...I don't like where this is going." She frowned.
"If you win, then you have proved that I could be easily replaceable." He began, "But if I win, you will have to go to Prom with that certain guy."
Tecna thought about it for a moment, before nodding. "Fine. Challenge accepted." She looked around, "So, where's the guy?"
"I will choose." He says, looking around. A fat boy? Sounds tempting, but no. A geek? Nah. He continued to look around, scratching his head. But a smirk had crept into his face as he spotted a certain orange-brown haired bespectacled boy, carrying a lot of bags, trying to climb a short set of stairs. But fails as he falls flat on his face, and he could have sworn the glasses must have cracked. He started laughing as he makes ringing noises. "We have a winner!" He cheered, pointing to the bespectacled boy that had just fell on the stairs.
Tecna raised a brow and peered towards the direction Jonas was pointing, the other girls did the same. "I can't see- oh no." Her eyes widened at the realization. The realization that not only Jonas had chosen a nerd, but he chose the Nerdiest of the nerds!
"Who is it?!" Stella demanded, trying to get a better look of who Tecna's bet is. Before her own eyes widen at the realization. "Timmy?! Timmy Warren?! The nerdiest geek in school?!"
To be continued.
