Chapter 1: The Ultimate Simp
⋅•⋅⊰∙∘❦✾❦∘∙⊱⋅•-
"Outta my way, fucking nerd!"
Xander Woods was harshly pushed out of Sam Henderson’s path and landed on the ground with a face first with a loud thud, cracking his glasses in the process, it alerted the students all around to turn to him and laugh without even thinking to help. The funny thing was how the school hall was big enough for himself and this bulky bully to walk pass and they weren’t many students lounging around at the hall.
But still, because he was an easy target, he was roughly pushed away so Sam and several other students could have a good laugh.
Today was the first day of another long and hellish school year for Xander Woods and he was already being attacked just like other years of high school.
Xander’s life was fairly normal, very normal if you thought about it. The only things he had really going on for him was school, no actual friends and bullying. And Xander was alright with that, he never really wished for a different life where he felt relevant. But he sometimes thought of how life could be if things were different, he thought of how life could be if only he was strong enough to scare off his bullies for good.
But this year would be different, he had spent the entire school break at the gym. Trying his best to build up some body mass, he still didn’t have much of that in his body. But at least he no longer was that much of a bag of bones as he’d been last year. This year he might put up a small fight to make his bullies notice it might be harder for him to get attacked so easily after school.
If the school refused to punish those bullies who took their sweet time to torment him for four years straight no matter how much he and his mom, Nancy reported, he would have to take matters into his own hands.
He got up and slowly began picking up the books that had fallen from his grip when he was pushed, already used to the laughter and ridicule of the students that go to Crestwood Heights Academy to even feel a thing when they laughed at him. Before it used to add salt to the wound, but now he just didn’t care all that much.
When he got into his class he caught sight of the girl who never failed to make his stomach do a flip and his heart flutter for two years straight so much to the point that Xander feared he might not just have a crush on this popular, charismatic, incredibly smart beauty who stood at her tippy toes wiping the board, he feared that he could really be hopelessly in love with her.
A very scary thought that was, honestly.
When she turned and caught sight of him standing still like a lovestruck creep in the doorway, her expression darkened as her forest green eyes narrowed.
There was a problem though, she hated him.
