The Captain and I

I am a nerd/geek through and through, my past time is seeing how something works. What really gets me going is numbers and equations. My nick name was little Einstein, I really loved science. I was the loner and math tutor after school. Tutoring gave me the chance to socialize and come out of my shell. I enjoyed it until I had to tutor the captain of our football team. He was arrogant and he had the brains of a kid in kindergarten. And I was head over heels infatuated with him. Once we got over our stereotypes of each other, we became fast friends. He was actually smart and played the role of an airhead. When our walls came crashing down it was a mutual attraction and respect. I’m still pinching myself, who would have thought the nerd and the captain(football) would be together. Yours truly, Mrs Nerd Alexis Y. 03-6-2020
