Return Of The Nerd

Adrianna Rodriguez's Point of View:

Ding! Ding!

I jumped out of my sleep at the sound of my alarm. I slowly got out of bed with a huge smile on my face. Now you all must be wondering what the hell is wrong with me?

So let me clear the air. I am not a morning person but the fact that today is my birthday and also my three months anniversary with my boyfriend Jeremy I'm entitled to a little craziness.

I am happy and nervous at the same time. Happy because its my birthday and nervous because of the anniversary.

Slapping a hand on the alarm button to shut it off I crossed my room and entered my adjoining bathroom. I took up my toothbrush and toothpaste and began to brush my teeth. After brushing my teeth and rinsing my mouth I just stood there staring at the mirror and my reflection.

I do this every morning for one simple fact I'm a nerd. Yes!! I said it, my name is Adrianna Rodriguez and I am a nerd. The reason for my looking in the mirror is because I have to remind myself that I am a beautiful young lady no matter what anyone else thinks.

I'm not like the typical nerd that is fat and not good looking. I actually have a great figure with curves in all the right places and I am far from ugly. I despise attention and so I hide my figure under baggy clothes and wear big ugly glasses which help me to be invisible to everyone, everyone except Jeremy.

Jeremy Johnson is the typical golden boy of our school. He does well in school and is the star basketball player. We've been together for three months now and I couldn't be happier. My best friends Katy and Matt have warned me about being with but he was just so sweet to me that I didn't care for their warning.

Moving away from the mirror I grabbed an elastic band and wrapped around my hair so that it wouldn't get wet. Stripping off my clothes I took a quick shower and stepped out of the bath instantly wrapping a towel around me and drying off.

With a contented sigh I walked into my room and headed straight for my walk in closet. I may not show my figure to anyone at school but I have a lot of amazing clothes inside of my closet mainly because of my mother who is a fashion designer. I only plan on showing my true self in senior year which is next year.

To keep up my nerdy act I grabbed a baggy white T-shirt and black skinny jeans with a black converse. Quickly changing into the clothes I freed my hair from the elastic band and ran my hand through the wavy locks. I decided to just put my hair in a ponytail like I do everyday. I grabbed my bag and phone walking down the stairs.

I went into the kitchen shocked to see that my brother was already awake and ready for school.

"Hey Michael"

"Hey," he replied lifting his head from the plate of pancakes only to stuff a piece more into his mouth.

"How are you up so early?" I asked in wonder cause he's never up early.

Swallowing a sip of orange he flashed me is famous smile, "it's your birthday so I'm gonna drive you to school"

"Really," I asked internally jumping in excitement.

His car is literally the love of my life. He's got a black Lamborghini. Now you must be wondering how did he convince my parents to buy him a car that expensive. It's quite simple actually he used the oldest trick in the book.

Compromise? No

Do chores around the house? Nope

Get a job of his own? Hell no

Well here's the answer drum roll please, dum! dum! dum! He begged. Yes I said it my star quarterback brother went on his hands and knees for that car.

I was pulled out of my thoughts when Mike spoke, "let's go"

Squealing in delight I ignored my brother laughing at me grabbed an apple and jumped into the car.

"Hold tight baby sister," Mike said with a smirk on his face.

I immediately regretted my decision when he blazed out of the drive way.

_______________________

As soon as Michael pulled up at school I dashed out of the car sending him a glare.

I walked up the steps and smiled when I saw my best friends Katy and Matt walking towards me. My smile when they walked up to me and I saw the worried look on their faces.

"What's wrong?" I asked concerned for my friends.

"Oh nothing," Katy spoke softly playing with her hair.

Now I know something is wrong, she only plays with her hair when she's lying or when she's nervous.

I was just about to interrogate her further when Matt spoke.

"Let's go to the library," he sounded so nervous and looked so uncomfortable.

That's strike two Matt hates the library so why would he want to go there. I was about to speak when I looked over Katy's shoulder and found the reason for their awkwardness. Jeremy was cornering a girl on the lockers and kissing her.

"Jeremy?" I whispered as I walked up to him.

"what the hell are you doing?" I shouted at him.

He pulled away from her long enough to look at me. He didn't look surprised to see me. As a matter of fact he didn't even looked like he cared.

I watched as he turned back to the girl to place a lingering kiss on her lips. He turned back to face me a smirk on his face.

My heart clenched at his words, "happy anniversary Adrianna"

He turned pulling the girl with him and walked away. I thought that my heart was shattered but then he stopped walking and turned to face me.

"I almost forgot.... Happy birthday Adrianna"

I didn't know what to feel as I turned away and ran. I ran and ran without looking back and ignoring my friends plea for me to stop.

Then and there my heart broke from disappointment and I could only think of one thing.

Revenge.

Adrianna Rodriguez's Point of View:

You know that feeling that you get when you know that you've been betrayed but you just can't believe it. Well that was me a year ago. I was betrayed by my ex boyfriend who I thought loved me but it turns out that I was just being played.

It hurt a lot when I saw him making out with the school's whore. I mean cheating on me is one thing but to actually cheat on me with someone so cheap and loose, that's a whole different insult by itself.

I took a jab at the boxing bag in front of me, imagining that it was Jeremy's face instead. The thought of kicking his butt brought a smile to my face. I still remember the events of that day like it were yesterday.

Flashback

When I saw Jeremy cheating on me it was at that exact moment I decided that everyone needs to see the real me. I ran all the way home ignoring the curious glances that I was getting. As soon as I reached my family's familiar driveway I breathed a sigh of relief.

I took my own sweet time to walk up the stairs cause honestly there was no need to rush. I wasn't sure if my parents were still home but I thought it would be a good idea to see if the door was open before I went through the trouble of finding my keys.

I placed my hand on the knob and slowly turned it. I had a smile on my face when the door opened. I headed straight for the kitchen but froze when I saw my parents, my mother sat on the counter while my father stood in between her legs and to my disgust they were making out.

"Ahhh my virgin eyes," I shrieked covering my eyes.

"I can't believe this," my dad grumbled.

I slowly removed my hands from my eyes. The look of pure frustration on my father's face and the blush on my mother's face was my undoing. I literally couldn't hold it anymore, I started laughing, not the five seconds laugh but the knee buckling, rolling on the ground, brings tears to my eyes kind of laugh.

I slowly got off of the ground and dusted myself off. I was brought back to the present when I realized just how silent it was and that I was the only one laughing.

Trying to be brave I slowly looked up at my parents with what I hoped to be a innocent smile on my face. It worked so well with dad can't say the same about mom though, she's one tough cookie.

"What are you doing here?" mom asked expectantly waiting for an answer.

I simply blinked at her and then reality sunk in and I remembered why I left school in the first place. I tried to avoid her eyes because I just couldn't stand to look at her.

I know some people might be thinking that it wasn't her fault that the idiot cheated on me but it was her fault that I was hurt as she was the one that kept on encouraging me to give Jeremy a chance. I can honestly say that it was my worst decision ever. My prolonged silence signaled to my father that something was wrong. I believe that dad understands me more than anyone else.

He stepped closer to me and asked "what's wrong sweetheart?"

The concern in his voice was my undoing. The tears that I was holding back freely flowed down my cheeks.

"Honey what's wrong?" mom asked jumping off the counter.

I shook my head at her refusing to respond to her question. If anything I started crying even more.

My father wrapped his arms around me pulling me into a tight hug. I still didn't look up for fear that I would meet my mother's eye.

"Adrianna...look at me please," my mom pleaded with me but I simply shook my head holding on to dad tighter than before.

"I can't," I choked out wiping my tears.

"Why not? she asked rather brokenly.

I don't know what came over, if it were the crying or the short emotional roller coaster ride that we're on. Whatever it was made me blurt out the first thing that came to mind.

"Jeremy cheated on me"

What happened next was not what I expected. I looked up just in time to see mom run out of the room with a hurt look on her face while dad stood still and incredibly tense. I looked up at dad to find him already watching me.

He kissed my forehead with a far away look in his eyes. I pouted at him sticking out my bottom lip.

He looked down at me with a dangerous look in his eyes. I wasn't afraid because as far as I know my dad would never let anyone hurt me and get away with it, I was a daddy's girl after all.

"What's gonna happen now?" I asked dad giving him my puppy dog eyes.

As if reading my thoughts his smirk grew into a full blown grin as he spoke, "we get revenge"

I self satisfied smile settled on my face when I remembered the events of that day. It was that day that my dad told me that I should take a year and do some homeschooling with my aunt which wasn't a problem since I was a straight A student.

During my stay at aunt Vivian I exercised more and started to wear less baggy clothes. I felt good showing off the real me and it was a bonus that my friends treated me the same. Speaking of friends I stopped abusing the punching bag long enough to grab my phone and typed in Katy's number.

As always she answered in her usual bubbly voice " hey Anna", she chirped using her nickname for me "what's cooking?"

I burst out laughing at her silliness, after a minute her laughter could be heard.

"Guess what?" I asked her after I manage to stop laughing.

She gasped dramatically then started to squeal, You dyed your hair blue"

I tried to interrupt her but she just kept on going "how does it look? When can I see it? Awww I knew that you loved me!"

Needless to say blue is her favorite color and she has been begging me to dye my hair blue.

When I asked her why she doesn't just do it to her own hair she just looks at me as if I'm crazy and starts laughing.

I warn you all now, she's crazy.

Interrupting her rant I shouted over the phone "Katy be quite!"

It's a regular thing for her to go off in her own world and so sometimes you just have to reel her back in.

"I'm back," I squealed not being able to contain my happiness.

"Oh my gosh!" she shouted "your back"

"Hell yeah I'm back," I shouted in return to her "and it's time to play"

Adrianna Rodriguez's Point of View:

Ding!!!! ding!!!! ding!!!!

I jumped out of my bed as soon as I heard my alarm go off. I refrained from picking up my phone and throwing it at the wall. I was generally not a happy morning person especially if I haven't eaten yet but today is the exception to that. Today is the day that I have been waiting for, for a whole year now. Today is the beginning of senior year and the day that I will show my true self, setting in to motion my plans for revenge.

It's a very simple plan. I plan on getting Jeremy infatuated with me and when I do I'm gonna leave him hopefully breaking his heart in the process. It was only fair that I do to him what he did to me not only would he be humiliated but he'd see what he lost, and he definitely lost a gem when he dumped me. The best way for me to do this is by forming an alliance with his enemy. With his cocky and sleazy attitude he was bound to have many. at As far as I see it, any enemy of Jeremy is a friend to me.

Snapping out of my evil thoughts I looked around my room. I moved back in last night and so I didn't really have the time to reminisce about everything in the room. The memories and just the way how the room is. With a deep sigh I glanced around the room for one finally time before I headed to the bathroom to take a quick shower. I had to get ready for the day.

After showering off I grabbed a towel from the towel stand, wrapping it around my body. I walked back into my room drying off and headed straight for my walk in closet.

What to wear today?

A wide grin settled on my face when I thought of the perfect outfit. Securing the towel around me I pulled out a black leggings, white tank top, black jacket and white converse. I placed them on my bed and then picked out some underwear. I quickly slipped on my clothes and picked up my phone and backpack. I looked in the mirror pleased with myself. My outfit screamed that I was a bad bitch and I was loving it. Black was truly my favorite color.

I jogged down the stairs greeting my family as I saw them. I was surprised to see them all up so early, especially Michael.

"Morning mom and dad"

I looked at my brother before the perfect greeting came to mine. I must say it fits it perfectly.

"Hey idiot," I smirked placing my bag on the counter.

A laugh escaped my lips when I saw the glare that he sent me. I stuck my tongue out at him, flipping him the bird when he slapped my hand.

"So...are you ready to return to school?" my father asked.

"Yeah I have a lot of things planned," I replied to him a mischievous grin on my face.

"I bet," he said a smirk evident on his face "let me know if you need help with your...plans"

"I will"

I got up from my stool after eating my breakfast which consisted of chocolate chipped pancakes and bacon, my favorite. Mom was really a great cook. Its actually surprising she didn't become a chef with how good she cooks.

"As delicious as always," I said to mom grabbing my backpack.

"Thanks Anna," she smiled at me.

I kissed both my parents cheek mumbling a quick I love you to the both of them. I looked to Michael to see him still stuffing his mouth with food. Feeling my mischievous side kick in I smacked the back of his head shouting at him and running out of the room.

"Later loser!"

I laughed out loud as I heard my parents laughing along with me. It was really good to be home. Even though I need the time away from everyone I still missed them dearly.

I walked out to the driveway to look at the love of my life. A year ago the I fell in love with my brothers black Lamborghini. I mean it just looked so sleek and sexy that I couldn't help myself but seeing as I couldn't be with it for an entire year I got a new love that is now all mine. You might be thinking that its a car but it isn't. I got myself a black motorcycle or if you prefer to call it a bike.

Pulling out the keys I hopped on pulling on my helmet and putting the keys in the ignition. I looked across the street to where Jeremy lived a smirk on my face when I saw the curtain move from where I knew was his bedroom. Him living so close to me would make this so much easier. Thank you Jeremy's parents for deciding to move. Or better yet thank you dad for giving them the push they needed to do so.

This senior year will be fun.
