Updates will be sooner now that these hectic weeks are over I promise :p
Tell me what you think(:
Jeremy's POV:
The day seemed to be moving by so slow. It was barely six and I was anxious to meet with Sissi. I wonder why she picked me. Maybe Aelita thinks I'm cute. No that's a crazy thought.
"Hey Einstein, can I borrow your computer?" Odd asked, barging into my room as always.
"I guess so, I'll be at the library." I really didn't want to be in the room while Odd fiddled with his music, or well, what he called music.
Sissi's POV:
"C'mon Sissi, you're captain! You should be leading us don't you think?" Aelita complained, she was such a pain lately.
"I'm just not feeling it okay? You can lead them today, I'm going to my dorm, I feel horrible." I walked away leaving her confused, but I just couldn't be there, I needed a friend, someone to talk too, and honestly I hated talking to her about William because she seemed so fake. I guess that's what I get for focusing on appearances. Great, all I wanted was to be alone and there was William in sight.
"Hey gorgeous!" William yelled, running towards me. Well at least he's being his usual self today.
"Hi handsome." I smiled, I wasn't too happy about seeing him, I was still a bit upset about yesterday, who could be more important than me because I'm darn sure he wasn't out eating on his own.
"You want to do something tonight? I don't have practice, and I see you're not at practice." He asked me, he was trying out his dazzling smile, but that wasn't working on me, at least not today.
"Who were you eating with last night?" I asked, knowing him he'd probably say no one.
"By myself. Why?" Of course he was by his self, that's why he didn't just tell me to meet up with him right.
"Why didn't you tell me where you were at so I could join you?"
"I uhh, didn't want you walking around so late princess, what if someone tried something funny." Smooth William. I'm still not buying it though, he stuttered, that's a sign of a liar.
"I guess. Anyways, I can't, I'm meeting up with Belpois again. Have fun with yourself again tonight, whoever that is." I answered sarcastically as I walked away. I've got to admit the look on his face was ridiculous, his own mother wouldn't believe this lie.
"If it's what you want, don't complain tomorrow about me not taking you out!" He yelled after me. I'm sure people stared as I walked by, but I could honestly care less. I'm so tired of all this mess. I can't leave him though, the most popular girl has to be with the most popular guy. It's like the circle of life, duh Sissi. Or, at least I tried to convince myself it was.
Jeremy's POV:
It was finally 6:59. I'm excited, I wonder what she'll teach me. I wonder if it'll even work. Of course it will, she's Sissi, after all, she changed William and he was once one of… me, I guess you could say. I guess I should knock, it is 7 sharp.
After three knocks she finally came to the door. "Hey Sissi." I greeted, something was off about her today, she seemed, different.
"Oh Belpois, I completely forgot! Sorry my room's a mess." She answered, she didn't talk as high pitched and excited as usual, either something was up, or she was attempting to seem, "teacher like". Then again, I could truly care less, I was here for Aelita after all, wasn't I?
"It's fine." I answered; it truly was a mess though. Clothes, makeup and hair products everywhere, I had never been surer than I was today, that someday Sissi will be the reason for the depletion of the ozone layer. What caught me by surprise though was the fact that when I walked towards the chair I stepped on a math test that sure enough, had 100% written across the top of it. How could this be, Sissy getting an A? What's next, Odd graduating with honors?
"Yes Jeremy that paper is my quiz and no, I didn't cheat." She obviously saw me staring at the paper in utter shock.
"No I, I didn't think you cheated." I answered nervously.
"Right, but that's not why you're here. You're here because of Aelita right? Well first of all you good at any sport or got any talents?" She asked bluntly. I hope I didn't get her mad with the whole quiz incident or else I'll never be with Aelita.
"I'm terrible at sports, and pretty much anything that doesn't have to do with intelligence." I really was a failure.
Sissi's POV:
Boy is this kid a loser. "C'mon don't say that, you've got to be good at something!" I tried to sound as encouraging as possible because oddly enough, the kid seemed nice and I did want to help him.
"I well, I know how to play the guitar." He answered nervously. This is great, why didn't he start off with this.
"What! No way! Girls love a guy that can play an instrument! Can you sing?" I asked, apparently too eager because he seemed scared.
"I don't know, but I can't even talk to her, how do you expect that I'll be able to sing to her?" The kid had a point he was a total nerd, poor little guy.
"Don't worry that's what I'm here for! First off though, we've got to do something about how you come off to people."
"What do you mean?"
"I mean that sometimes, without even meaning it, you're rude Jeremy."
Jeremy's POV:
ME? RUDE? Who did she think she was calling me rude? Half of the school thought she herself was cruel.
"I am not rude." I replied bluntly.
"Oh really, shall we recall what happened last week in math?" She countered.
Flashback:
"Umm Jeremy, I've been trying to solve this but I can't get the answer on the back of the book, you think you can look over my work?" Theo asked.
"I suppose so." Jeremy looked over the problem when he realized it was completely wrong. He couldn't believe how simple the problem was for him to be making such dumb mistakes. "Okay first off, the problem is solved with law of Sines, and second of all, 11x11 is obviously 121 not 122. This is simple, maybe you should focus on taking notes, instead of getting girl's numbers."
"Jeeez chill. Last time I ask you for help." Theo answered before walking back to his desk humiliated at the scene Jeremy had just caused.
Sissi was right. I'm a complete jerk. "Okay I am a tad rude. It simply amazes me when students who have the resources to learn and prosper don't take full advantage of them and slack off because they're used to getting anything they want from others, or as you guys calls us, nerds."
Sissi's POV:
I'm not going to lie, the way Jeremy put it, and he's got a point. We do expect to get anything we ask for, I know we do, I do it all the time.
"Well when you put it that way I guess I see your point, but you've got to lay off the attitude. Be more relaxed, more chill."
"What do you mean?" He asked me, confusion was evident in his tone.
"Okay I've got it, tomorrow we're sitting together in English and you're going to practice what I tell you to do right now okay?" I asked, hoping he wouldn't reject the plan.
"Um, okay, but you need to explain to me what you mean by more chill." He asked. Poor guy he was still so confused it was almost adorable.
"Just listen to me. You won't regret it, I swear." I winked as I finished, as expected, all I got back was a bright red face staring at me in utter confusion.
"All right ready for scenario one?" I asked, and all he did was nod. It was already 8 and we were barely beginning the transition to a much cooler Jeremy. All I hope is that he actually does what I tell him to do tomorrow because I am not wasting my time practicing different scenarios with him just so he acts like his usual nerdy self.
