Perfectly

Chapter 1

My Nerdy Self

---------------------------------------

I positioned my glasses on my nose and looked at the board, adjusting my plaid skirt. Wrong! It's negative six not positive! Ms. Gonzalez is a math teacher she should know! Without thinking I coughed "negative" out loud. More than half the class, including the teacher stared at me.

"Yes Ms. Montez?" asked Ms. Gonzalez. I shook out of my thoughts and stared at her.

"What?" I said, trying not to sound rude.

"It seemed like you had something to say." I battled whether or not I should tell her it's incorrect.

"Oh um...I think that the answer is negative," I mumbled. The girls giggled.

"Excuse me?" I swear she's doing it on purpose.

"The-um-the answer is negative six," I said awkwardly. Though sometimes it was necessary, correcting teachers is kind of awkward.

"I beg your pardon?" What did I tell you? I bet she's just mad that I'm right! Ha!

"You multiplied a negative and a positive. I guess you for got to put the negative sign on the ¼."

"Nerd," coughed a guy in class, while the rest of the class burst into laughter. I sank in my chair, my face turning red. What were they laughing at? All I did was correct the mistake.

"Oh," she said looking back at the board and apparently not noticing the little disturbance, "Thank you Ms. Montez." Just then the bell rang. "Homework is the Chapter 7 review on page 467 in your textbook. Due tomorrow. Show work."

"I don't get why people were laughing at me," I said to Taylor as we went to store our things i our locker.

"I hate to tell you Gabi," said Sharpay coming towards them, "But if you ever, in your life, correct a teacher, you're a classified nerd." I glared at her. I still didn't get it. "Sorry Gabs. But it's just the rules of high school."

"Sharpay's right," said Taylor, "You have to stop being a...how can I put this nicely...a know-it-all." Yeah that's nice. People think I'm some kind of freak.

"But the answer was wrong," I said, defending myself, "I needed to-"

"No you didn't," said Taylor, "I saw the mistake and I didn't need to say anything. It isn't necessary to point it out."

"Move it nerd," said one of the cheerleaders, pushing me out of the way, making me fall and drop all me books. God! Not again! I wanted to push her into a trash can or some really creepy guy. Sharpay glared at Tiffany, head cheerleader.

"You know what Tiffany?!" yelled Sharpay, "If you do that one more time I'll-"

"You'll what? Throw glitter at my eyes?" She laughed and then left us to ourselves. Taylor helped me up.

"You really should have said something Gabi," said Taylor as she helped me pick up my things, "You can't just let her walk all over you like that."

"If I say something she'll just call me a nerd or a geek or something," I said, balancing my glasses on my nose.

"Hey girls," said Chad, coming up from behind us. Ugh! Great! He brought Troy with him/ I hope I don't stare...

"It doesn't matter," said Sharpay after they muttered a greeting to the two.

"What doesn't matter?" asked Troy.

"Nothing you need to know of," said Taylor. After chatting for a while, me, Taylor, and Sharpay went to the bathroom.

"Gabi, do you like Troy?" asked Sharpay suspiciously. Darnit! I was probably staring again!

"Well- I-uh-yes..." The two squealed, "What? It's not like he notices me anyway..."

"That turns my light bulb on!" said Sharpay, "What about a makeover!?"
