Prompt - Nerd + Emo Love



I saw him looking at me again. It was pissing me off. Do you know how hard it is to concentrate when someone’s staring at you? Very hard. At least for me. How am I expected to try and memorise the Periodic Tables when I’m getting a hole burnt in my head? His stare is so intense; he has the bluest eyes I’ve ever seen. It’s unnatural how light they are - they’re almost white. That colour, electric blue I think it’s called…or is it neon? No way can someone have neon eyes!

Okay, I’m getting distracted. Why am I thinking about his eyes?

Because they’re beautiful, that’s why.

Shut up little voice! I can’t believe I’m arguing with myself,
again! And over a boy no less. I’ll admit, his eyes are beautiful, but I’m a little put off by all that eyeliner he wears. Seriously! What girl wants to date a guy who wears more makeup than she does? Wait a minute, date? Where did that come from? I think I’m going nuts.

Concentrate! I swear, this is the third time I’ve read this line; it’s just not sinking in. I really don’t want to get behind in my work…oh, screw it! I already know the Table off by heart anyway.

My god I make it obvious that I’m a nerd when I say it like that. What normal person knows the Periodic Tables? And it’s frikkin lunchtime! I need a social life.

Damn straight.  Quiet! Who asked you?

He’s finally stopped staring at me. Oh crap, now he’s walking towards me instead. What do I do?!

Just act normal.

Normal? Are you kidding? I’m talking to myself. Why am I getting so worked up anyway? Just because some cute Emo guy is walking towards me –
Wait! Backup! What? You said cute. I did? Oh, shit. I’m crushing on an Emo.

A very cute Emo.

With gorgeous eyes.

You’re gone.

Aw, hell! It’s not all bad…

By this time he’s already been standing next to me for several minutes watching my internal struggle. I looked up and managed a feeble, “Hi.”

He flashed me a toothy grin. “Hey.” Oh my god, he has to have the most beautiful smile I’ve ever seen! I could feel my knees knocking together under the table, and I was certain that had I been standing I would have fainted almost immediately. He must have noticed my gawking and my slack jaw, because he smiled even wider.

“I like your glasses.” He gave me a compliment! And his voice was so…beautiful.
We really need to expand your vocabulary.

“Thanks.” I said, feeling a blush spread across my face. I didn’t think his smile could get any bigger, but it did. He looked so adorable standing there. I think I could get used to the make up.
Now if we can just do something about his hair…
