Emma was thinking all this while chewing on her pen and staring at Toby's new friend Rick. You know, swearing off bad boys and guys with no good intentions was the best thing for her. Yup, that's right, her new type of boy she wanted was a nerd.

I guess you could say she could easily get Toby, and she did, for a week.. but they were just too close, he was like her little brother. But Rick? Rick had all the answers.. Really, he did! He could beat Emma at a game of trivia anyday.. she kinda got turned on by that now.. nerds were the new hot.

With a sigh Emma watched as he quickly and efficiently solved the word problem Emma had been working on for 20 minutes, then moved on to the other ten in rapid-fire sequence. Wow, it suddenly felt much warmer in the room. His glasses slipped from the bridge of his nose and he pushed them back up, on instinct, so absorbed in the equations. That was hot.

Suddenly a hand went onto Emma's forehead and the blonde blinked out of it, brushing Manny off her, "What?" she hissed.

Manny sighed helplessly, "sometimes I worry just how much Sean Cameron hurt you." she joked, knowing Emma had moved on but what the consequence of it did.

"He just helped me see there is nothing really attractive about bad boys, it's all just a cliche." Emma informed looking back at Rick, "But him? He'd be a total gentlemen, hold doors for me, debate with me.. do homework together."

Manny couldn't help but giggle uncontrollably, shaking her head and getting back to work.

Emma's gaze was so glued to Rick, she hardly noticed Toby even take a notice and stare at her with wide eyes. He thought when she finally kissed him, the end was near, but now she was looking at Rick like she was gonna jump him? That girl seriously had some serious issues to work out..

"Rick, don't look now," he whispered. "but Emma is staring at you.".

Rick finished scribbling something down then looked at Emma with wide, terrified eyes. Toby jabbed him in the shoulder and pointed at Emma as if Rick hadn't already been looking her way.

It didnt make sense to them either, trust me. And the word was going around school that Emma was crushing on him too, guess people just thought it was a joke but she was actually really into it. Why? She was a great looking girl, yes she loved her studying too and they had that in common but he found World of Warcraft more interesting than dating!

Emma smiled a little to Rick hoping he'd smile back as he caught her staring.. . Rick turned back to his paper with embarrassing speed, blushing like mad. Emma frowned, what she didn't notice was Sean and Jay staring from the back rows and sharing a look.

"She's doing it for show, I swear." Sean insisted, devastated Emma was into Rick, after dating him! Well, Chris too but still!

"She is INTO the nerds man, look at her!" Jay couldn't help but laugh seeing the scene of Rick blushing like mad when he caught Emma looking at him. Greenpeace was always Jay's biggest amusement at school, "The girl never seazes to entertain me..." he drifts off trying to think about it but shook his head.

"If you're into her, get in line behind Toby and every other nerd in this school." Sean said rolling his eyes and said, "I heard rumours but I thought it was a joke."

"Some girls are into it.." shrugged Jay, slowly moving his eyes around Emma's figure as she did her work. He kinda understood... some days he caught himself into Emma..she was a nerd right? A hot one though. Look at that tight body..long tanned legs..long blonde hair, and this year? New found boobs.. how did a girl who looked like that get such a big brain? Did she go to the land of Oz and ask the wizard?

"Is Alex?" Sean challanged.

Jay snorted, snapping his eyes of Emma, "Alex is into Towerz nowadays.. not sure if I'm even into her." he confirmed, shrugging bluntly.

The bell rang and Emma jumped up from her seat with Manny, walking off into the hallway. Sean groaned and finally stood up from his seat, Jay couldn't help but laugh and followed.

"Hungry?" Liberty teased Emma as her and Manny sat, and Emma went right into her bag.

"For a nerd sandwich? Yes," Emma answered, looking longingly at the back of Rick's head who was up at the cafeteria line.

"Ew." Manny tossed her a disgusted look and grabbed her arm. "I am going to pretend you did not say that."

Emma grumbled, leaving her sandwhich alone now, "whatever.. he doesn't notice me anyways.." she stared off into space. Ok. Maybe Sean did damage her a LITTLE but for good reason, to watch her heart more better, nerds were the best bet.. but since they were so jumpy when girls were around..it was hard for Emma to catch a good one.

"You know, I'm so depressed I don't think I can even eat."

Manny suddenly brightened. "Then hand me your deli sandwich." Emma just nodded and tossed her it, sighing heavily.

"What are we doing today? The mall?" Liberty asked.

"Sounds good," said Manny, not glancing up and eating, "I need a new outfit for the party! And Em, yu should get one too."

"I heard the new kid Chester was into you!" gasped Liberty to Emma who just ignored, not caring.

Manny groaned and grabbed Emma by her shoulders, "I want my best friend back! The semi normal one!" she groaned but laughed and Emma giggled alittle with her and shrugged

She knew it was silly, but it was safe.

"Sorry I can't go," Emma said, trying not to sound guilty.

Liberty caught it and gave her a suspicious look. "Why?"

"I'm going to the science club meeting." Emma felt herself blush.

"What sciense club? I'd know about it." Liberty insisted.

Emma cringed, "The new one I switched to"

"You switched into another club!?" Liberty pouted.

Manny rolled her eyes, "This nerd talk, I'm going to shoot myself!" she pointed her index finger at her head and pretended her thumb was at the trigger and blew it up.

"Its Ricks new club." Emma whispered and Liberty gasped feeling betrayed, "I need more time to talk to him!"

Manny shook her head, "Just let her do it, she'll come to her senses soon." she told Liberty while giving Emma a 'you're insane!' look.
