The Bad Boy Nerd Meets Ms. Popular

"Jeremy!! Be fast and come down so you won't be late on your first day!! We're a family of good impressions you know!!" Mom screams at me.I don't care whether I make a bad impression going to school late, it's not like they'll kick me out or something. I know mom loves impressing people and that's where we don't move on the same lane."I'll be down in a second mom!" I yell back.I'm not exactly excited to not only move to a new home but go to a new school. I can't see anything good coming out of this. I don't like the idea of drama, action, and whatnot. Or at least that's what I heard about the school before I came here. And I definitely have my reasons.My stepdad was a bastard.There was no day he didn't abuse my mom. He always called me "useless" and "full of crap" but to hell with him and his stupid thoughts.I love my mom.No matter what happened she

I enter the cafe and take a seat on the comfy cushions. I love the smell of this place. It's like a grandma's house. Pastries and coffees and teas are all mixed in one and it smells like...home. It seems the age range of people that are here or that even come here the most should be around 14-50. But most of them are in my age group at least. Well, it's not like it's too busy or something. Business is just fine.  I'm sitting here like a single weirdo that lost to his wife in an argument.  Sure enough, I love people's companies but not of people I don't know from anywhere. But I can't bring my mom even though she's my actual best friend, she's working right now! The sooner I make more

Inside our home, we get ourselves in cleaned up so we can head down to the home theatre for the gist of the night. I'm really happy that I can unload all these things I've been bottling inside all day to someone I know and trust. I love talking to mom. She's just crazy and fun and outgoing and she's basically awesome. She doesn't shout at me for making simple mistakes and she encourages me for even the littlest of things for example; school. Seems mom beat me to the theatre. Wow. "Alrighty, pay up." She stretches her hand out. I always tease mom because she spends like 3 hours to bathe and 500 years to get dressed and 3000 years to come down to the theatre. Basically, she can be slow as fuck. So I told her that if she can beat me to the theatre, that

I'm pleased that both Matt and Derek are in my class but what I'm not so thrilled about is that first of all, Betty is also here and so is that unidentified girl. I don't have a problem with the girl unless she serves as a threat just like her friend. Next up is the fact that Mrs. Harris and I aren't exactly on "wonderful terms". But it's strange that when I entered the class she just looked at me, looked away, looked again, and made her distance so far from me. To be very honest, I wanted to apologize. Even though I still feel it's her fault.  I continue to listen to the lecture but my mind drifts and I start to look around the class. I notice the brownish-black haired girl already looking at me, or even staring. Changing my direction of sight, I look over to the boys' side. Despite the fact that we're in the same class, we were separated because of Mrs. Harris

I had to wake up early so that I could practice my skills. Today's a Saturday so mom actually suggested we do it as a warm-up for today's "trial".  Right now, I'm basically breathless. Mom made me do some "highly needed" and "highly recommended" pushups. She climbed my back for God's sake! Despite the fact that she looks like she has the model body, she doesn't exactly weigh the same. "Come on Jer, you're being lazy! I know I'm rusty right now but you can do better old boy!" She exclaims merely like my coach. Annoying. My mom deserves a smack on the head for even saying she's rusty. She just dribbled the ball on top of me! How that is possible, I don't know either. I come at her for the ball and almost in a flash, she's no more in front of me but beside me. She makes me trip as she kicks the ball in the
