Chapter 2: An Idea
Agent BM: Thx
A couple months went by, and Honey had gotten used to her new school. She could find all her classes without issues, she could do the school work and assignments, and she was even able to get to the top in English class.
But she still didn't have real friends. She mostly had acquaintances, and still didn't talk that much. While Honey was off doing her own thing, Zeke and his friends were having an issue. They weren't doing that good in English class.
And they were warned by their principal that their grades had better start improving or it would be summer classes for all of them. During lunch while Madison and Leah were in the restroom, Zeke, Vincent, and Evan were talking about the situation.
"What are we gonna do about our grades?" asked Evan.
"How the heck am I supposed to know?" Zeke said.
"You have all the answers. And the principal said if we fail literature we'll be taking that class in summer school." mentioned Vincent.
"What am I supposed to do?" Zeke wanted to know.
The guys then noticed Honey walking by with her lunch tray, going to an empty table.
"Hey what if we get the bumblebee girl to help us?" suggested Evan.
"Yeah, she's acing that class." Vincent added.
"Why would she help us? Look at her, sitting alone reading. Whenever she's not in class she buries her head in that Walkman. She hardly talks to anybody." Zeke informed.
"Well I've got an idea. Why don't you date her?" Vincent told.
"Date her? Are you crazy?" asked Zeke.
"Zeke picture this. You get that nerd to fall for you, and then she'll be wrapped around your finger, she'd do anything." Evan explained.
"That could work, but I still don't know."
"You know this could also work in your favor."
"How?"
"You said your relationship with Madison has been getting slow lately. What better way to spice things up with make her think you're interested in someone else?"
"Yeah, I mean can you imagine the look on Madison's face when she sees you've fallen for a book nerd like Bumblebee, or whatever her name is?" Vincent said.
Zeke thought about it for a moment.
"Yeah, that could work." Zeke replied.
"You think you can seduce her?" wondered Evan.
"If I can get her to remove those headphones."
So Zeke started to make an attempt to flirt with Honey. On her way to her next class, she noticed that Zeke was looking at her. She glanced over at him, and he flashed her a smile. This surprised Honey, who felt so flustered she quickly hurried away.
Then another time, while she was putting some books in her locker, Zeke stopped beside it.
"Hi there." he greeted in a seductive voice.
Honey looked completely stunned.
"Uh, hi." she finally replied.
Then she quickly hurried off.
"What on earth was that about?"
During their last class, as Honey was finishing up her work, Zeke came over to her again.
"Hey, you've been here for a while, but I can't seem to remember your name. What is it?" he asked.
"Uh?"
Then he started to lean in a little closer, making Honey feel a little uncomfortable. Just then the final bell rang.
"Oh, well there's the bell. Gotta go."
And she started putting her things in her backpack. But as she was quickly leaving, Zeke grabbed her by the wrist.
"Wait, what are you scared of?"
"Nothing. I just need to go."
Honey shook his hand off her, and left the room. Zeke was surprised, this was going to be harder than he thought.
"Hey." called a voice.
Zeke turned to see Madison.
"Oh, hey Madison."
"Why have you been trying to talk to the nerd?" Zeke just smirked.
"What I can't talk to other girls?"
Then he left the classroom, leaving Madison confused.
The next day, Honey was studying the library. As she read a book with her headphones on, Zeke came up from behind her, and tapped her on the shoulder. Startled, Honey took off her headphones and turned around to face him.
"Hey Bumblebee, I wanna talk to you if that's alright. Sorry I don't know your name." he told her.
Honey turned around and adjusted her glasses.
"Excuse me, but who are you?"
"Name's Zeke Shaw."
"Oh, well Zeke, why have to been smiling and trying to talk to me all week Are you stalking me or something?
"No, no, I just wanna talk. I notice you don't ever talk to anyone, or do much besides read and listen to your Walkman. Whenever you're not in class you bury yourself in that or a book. Don't you even wanna make friends? You're not exactly the new girl anymore, you've been here a month."
Honey was a little flustered.
"Well...I'm not that good as talking to people."
"Well, I can possibly help you make some friends, but I need you to help me with something."
Zeke took a seat next to Honey and pushed her purse to the side of the table, knocking her Walkman off the table.
"Nice purse by the way."
"Uh. I don't know."
"All I want is some simple tutoring for literature, I'm failing and need help or I'm gonna flunk. You're clearly an A student in class I know that much about you. This should be easy for you. I mean do you seriously wanna be called Bumblebee behind your back? Sounds like that transformer robot from that show I used to watch."
"Okay, first of all my name isn't Bumblebee. It's Honey, Honey Potts."
"It's nice to meet you personally Honey. Nobody knows your name so everyone I know calls you Bumblebee. You clearly could use some friends. Perhaps you can talk about music with someone, you're always listening to, whatever it is you listen to. You could also use some different clothes. I wanna help you."
"Look Zeke. Why do you want to do that?"
"Because even a book nerd like yourself shouldn't be lonely all the time. Are you really happy being by yourself all the time? Cooped up in a library?"
"Well..."
"I knew it. You hate it, and it shows."
"Can you give me a minute here. I need to take this all in."
And she quickly hurried away.
