Sorry that the last chapter was lame, but they will probably still be boring while it's still on the first days in their clique. I need 20 reviews, but I might relent and post chapter 4 if I get at least 15 reviews. This chapter is dedicated to anyone who has ever been called a nerd because they are smart. It is also dedicated to CourtneyHale who seems to like my story…Aww her review was so sweet!
DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN TWILIGHT. MRS MEYER DOES. ASK HER IF YOU WANT THEM FOR YOUR OWN SICK PURPOSES. OH- YOU JUST WANTED TO WRITE ABOUT THEM? I KNEW THAT…
Emmett's POV DAY ONE
When I heard what clique I was to be in, I was furious. How dare that stupid principal put me in a clique where whiny little geeks sat around reading all day? I'd show him…all I needed was tar, feathers and a video camera…I could do that later, but for now I had to survive the week.
Naturally, my clique's new 'hangout' was to be in the library. I didn't even know Forks High had a library. The air conditioning tickled my nose and I grumbled. There was a very papery smell in the air, and a cluster of kids from my year were slouched moodily by the rack of non-fiction books. There was a college student with short black hair and a name tag that read Annie sitting near them, looking nervous.
I almost ran away in terror, but caught myself and hesitantly walked towards the group. There was no way that there was going to be enough room for me to stand, so I slumped down miserably next to the group. They creepily giggled and started stroking me- in my mind, anyway. What they actually were, were bored looking kids, generally from the skater, emo and popular cliques.
Annie looked like she wanted to simultaneously throw up and run away, but she handed us all a paper and pen, telling us to write down stereotypes of nerds. I found this was a waste of time, and spent the rest of recess thinking about Rosalie and wondering how much Edward was cringing at hearing my thoughts.
"Emmett, what have you written?" asked Annie petulantly. "If you don't write anything, how can I make you a life plan?"
I didn't really care and told her so. She scowled heavily and it was a relief when the bell rang. Just before I was about to leave, Annie stopped me.
"Guess what," she said with a fake smile. "We're gonna spend the rest of the breaks in here reading books. We'll really get into the mood of this stereotype. I hope to see you at lunch, Emmett." I gasped at the thought of reading and ran as fast as was normal for a human away from the library.
I met Rosalie and my brothers and sisters outside the classrooms and sank onto the floor, sobbing pitifully at Rosalie's feet.
"You…can't…make…me…go…back…there!" I wailed, and Rosalie bent down in concern. At least, I thought it was concern.
"Stop being such a sissy," she hissed, "Or you're walking home." I glared at her and stopped my hysterics, but still remained on the floor.
She rolled her eyes and started walking off, towards our other siblings. I grumbled and followed her. Edward was standing there with a very glum expression cradling Bella who looked like she had been attacked. Normally this image would have amused me, but I had enough things to worry about, like having to actually read.
Alice was looking perfectly happy as she chatted to Jasper, who looked equally pleased. I would have to hide their cars. Let's see them grinning when they have to ride home with Edward…no I must concentrate.
The bell rang and I regretfully walked to my next lesson. It was Maths. I hated Maths, even though I was good at it. My teacher was psychotic, and possibly disturbed. He yelled at me as I walked into class, even though I was only about half a minute late. He then spent the remainder of the lesson pacing up and down and twirling his moustache vigorously.
When the bell rang for lunch, I shuffled off to the library where Annie smiled at me broadly and handed me a piece of paper. I lifted it up and began to grudgingly read. My eyes widened and by the end of it, I was almost in tears.
THE NERD CLIQUE LIFE PLAN:
For the rest of the week you will:
Wear loose pants or jeans with baggy t-shirt or jumper. Anything fashionable or well-fitting is prohibited.
Spend all lunchtimes reading and discussing both books and schoolwork.
Wear glasses (clear glass in lenses)
Shrink away from big and popular people
Act meek and unimportant
Encourage and promote reading and playing chess to other students, NOT popular students or jocks.
"Why?!" I cried indignantly, shaking the paper. "I can't wear glasses. My wife, I mean- girlfriend will laugh in my face. YOU CAN'T MAKE ME DO THIS!"
"Actually, Mr. Cullen, I can," said Annie with a smirk. "You don't appear to be acting meek at all. Perhaps you should join the other clique members and go read over there."
I shot her a death stare and scrutinised the equally depressed looking students in the corner. I moaned and wished I was at home, playing XBOX with Jasper. Annie would pay…and the nerds, willingly or no, would help me.
Sorry I couldn't think of anything else to write. I promise the next chapter will be much better, and I will post it in a few days. Remember, it will get better after all of their first days. Please review!
