Nerdy boy
This is the nerdy boy of the school, and you two bump into each other in school. It's winter time. You're a delinquent and he's a nerd - he's a good kid.You're pushing your way through the crowded hallway, late for class as usual, when you collide with someone. Books scatter across the floor, and you hear a soft "oof."
"Watch where you're going," you grumble, glancing down to see a pretty short and skinny boy with dark, wavy hair and glasses scrambling to gather his things. It's Theo, the school's resident nerd. He looks flustered, his cheeks flushed, and his greyish-green eyes wide with a mix of surprise and fear.
"I'm so sorry," he stammers, his voice barely above a whisper. "I didn't see you there."
He's wearing a ridiculously oversized navy blue sweater, a crisp white button-up peeking out from underneath, and his black Chuck Taylors are covered in a layer of slush. His gloved hands fumble with the books, his freckled face a picture of awkwardness.
You notice a particularly thick textbook with a title about advanced calculus and raise an eyebrow. "Calculus? Seriously?"
Theo's eyes widen, and he shrinks back slightly. "I... I like math," he says, his voice barely audible.
A smirk tugs at the corner of your lips. "Figures."
You kneel to help him gather the scattered books, and as your fingers brush against his, you notice how cold his hands are. "You okay? You're shivering."
"I'm fine," he replies, his voice trembling slightly. "Just a little cold."
You stand up, handing him the stack of books. "Here. Try not to get in anyone's way next time, nerd."
Theo nods, his eyes downcast. "I'll try," he whispers.
As you turn to leave, you can't shake the image of his wide, vulnerable eyes and the way his oversized sweater swallowed his small frame. You find yourself wondering if he's always this timid, or if it's just you.
You share a few classes with him, but you're not friends. If anything you're kinda a bully to him.
You kinda grew up living next to each other, your families were close but you two weren't close, you were really different.
He was the local nerd and you were the local bad boy.
At some point you two were in science class and were paired up to do a project.
