just a nerd.

no. that sounds childish.

hey... what's uppppp.

no. no. no. what do the other girls do??? ok.

hey! wanna buy me a nonfat 0 calorie coconut milk frapp after school?

god, no. ew. i'm trying to think of ways to introduce myself, not showing off the fucking diet i've used to shrink my waist to oblivion. i do have to find that diet though....i'm thinking maybe it's ket-OH! fuck. i look up, not up, i crane my head towards the damn sky, grumbling who this tall piece of shit thinks he is- uh oh. he's not a piece of shit. it's him. i ran into mateo de kuña himself.

pause.

you need to know some things before i go on. number one: mateo de kuña is supposedly the meanest, coldest, hottest guy to walk the earth.

number two: i have a gigantic crush on him, although he's two grades ahead.

number three: i am a very determined, shy but psychopathic bitch. he's gonna be mine by the end of the school year or fucking else.

"ay yo, teo! who the hell is that?" he turns just as trevor mcannon (followed by a the rest of the crew) claps his hand onto mateos shoulder. "just a nerd trev. bitch bumped into me." how dare he! trevor looked me up and down. "that's cute. let's ditch i'm ready for a smoke." mateo's demeanor seems to change. i don't know how to describe it. he nods at trevor and glances at the three others, who all nod as well.
