The Nerd Is My Mate

CHAPTER 2

"You act tough just like your mom even if she was human," Carlos mumbled as they hauled into Amber's new school. The thought of how her mum had many similarities with her made her regret why she hadn't met her.

"I hope you don't make your dad mad this period," Carlos mumbled again, peeking at the student that kept staggering inside the school, Amber came down from the car before bidding Carlos a goodbye.

The student were busy locating their classes while she stood lost at what class she had next, "uhmm, are you new?" a girly voice asked her making Amber swivel to notice the most beautiful human girl she have met in her life.

"Oh, hey," Amber said, waving her hands a little. "You seem kind of lost, do you mind if I help you out?" She asked Amber, as she tried to look at the piece of paper which was given to Amber by a plumpy woman a while ago.

After looking at it she looked at Amber with a wide grin. "You're getting in my way! We can head to class together," she mumbled as Amber nodded before strolling behind her. “I'm vanilla?" she said, turning to look at Amber who was busy looking around. “She isn't a bad kid," Brenda links out, making Amber smile at vanilla.

"I'm Amber, Amber Lincoln," Amber said as vanilla bobbed and they waddled into class together. The class was tight-lipped and the teacher wasn't in class, was this some type of miracle or something.

Amber knew that in all the schools she had been to, her class was always noisy and that led to Amber having a headache every time she got home. "Jamila, A Muslim student died from cancer! The student is still mourning." vanilla explained, making Amber nod, at least she knew why it was quiet. Nobody even minded that she was new.

The class began with a quiet moody student who just nodded to whatever the teacher had to say. Vanilla wasn't quite dull like the rest, "Do you know Jamila?" Amber asked as she followed vanilla out of school.

"Yeah, we were best of friends and I'm a bit cheerful since I had cried ever since she told me she was going to die from cancer. She left me a written letter for me never to cry but pray that she has an external rest. I miss her every day but I know she is in a better place." vanilla finally said as Amber turned to notice Carlos.

He came out of the car and waved at her with a chilly smile. "Do you know that guy? Is he your boyfriend?" vanilla asked, staring keenly at Carlos who's gaze was on his phone.

"He is my relative, not my lover," Ambe said as they exchanged numbers. Vanilla side-hugged Amber before she headed in Carlos's direction. Immediately she sat down in his car, Amber got a text from Vanilla. “Does your relative have a girlfriend?” the text read as Carlos put the car to live.

“Who is that girl you kept talking to?” Carlos asked, putting his hand in his hair before ruffling it satisfactorily. “Just someone a bit nice to me,” Amber mumbled in reply as he drove her home. Amber Kept informing him how her first day at school went.

Amber was exhausted. She’d been arranging her stuff in various places, it was one a.m in the morning and she was lying down staring at her phone. “Hey, are you sleeping?” A text from vanilla Pops up, making her sprang up from her tired position.

She was a bit nervous and excited at the same time. Her first text from someone in school, she tried to breathe calmly before replying to the text. “Yeah, I just finished with some assignments. Planning to sleep soon.” She typed before looking at her phone screen for a while, she didn't know whether to send it or not.

She thought for a while before hitting the send button. “I couldn't sleep so I just decided to run for a bit, I wanted to check on you and let you know that Mrs. William doesn't play with her assignment.” A message from vanilla read.

Why would she run this late? Amber didn't want to pry as she let the issue slide. She wrapped the blanket around her body and went to sleep, walking through the hallway the next day. She agreed on using her break period to check the library out so she could finish Mrs. William's assignment.

Amber infiltrated the library to notice a quiet and elegant library. It was a big library with a lot of female students and slighter male students, so she moved to the librarian to inquire about the direction of the textbook she was looking for.

The librarian apprised her to the end section. She bobbed her head incomprehension as she kept patrolling to locate what she was looking for but her scrutiny caught a hot-looking boy who clenched his hands on a book and his entire attention was solely on the book.

Why did she even care about the boy?

She finally took a book from the racks of books that were pulled up neatly. The break was going to be over soon and she couldn't afford to get penalized for being late, Amber opened the book and kept checking for the answer to the assignment.

But she instantly dropped it with anger when she wasn't understanding, all her attention was diverted to the boy who sat five tables before her, Amber was even mad at herself for staring at him multiple times without him even sparing her some peeks.

She decided to try focusing on my assignment when a piece of paper was slid to him by a girl who sat opposite him. Amber was curious to know what the girl on ponytail hairstyle had sent him, she couldn't help but swivel her eyes in gross irritations.

Amber took the book to place back on the shelf since she couldn't focus in the library when she lost balance and fell on the floor making some disturbing sounds. She turned around and kept apologizing to the student whose attention was now drawn to me.

She turned to stare at the boy whose gaze was now on me and not the book. I could feel the embarrassment that was building up, but the stare was cut short when another girl dropped a bottle of juice on his table.

She felt a twinge of jealousy and anger build up inside me. Why was she angry? She shouldn't be caring but even her wolf side was disgruntled.
