MEY
People seriously need to stop stereotyping Asians as nerds. Not all Asians are nerds and not all nerds are Asian. There's nothing wrong with having a passion for books, enjoying learning, and gaining more knowledge for yourself. Yes. It's not for my parents, not for my teachers, and definitely not for the sake of making myself look like a nerd and living up to the expectation of others.
Yet people always consider me as a nerd once they saw that:
A. I'm AsianB. I'm wearing specsC. I have a book in my hands.Just because I have a book in my hands, doesn't mean I'm a nerd, really. Maybe I was just reading for my next exam, or maybe I have an essay that I have to write. But no, everyone thinks I'm a nerd and when they say it, it makes it sounds like a curse word. In the end, I gave up telling people that I'm a bookworm, not a nerd, and decided to make peace with the term.
When a guy is a nerd, possibly someone who looks like he just walked out of GQ magazine like Tyler Vincent, everyone thinks that's hot. But when a girl, who looks like the book version of Hermione Granger — not the movie version because everyone agrees Emma Watson is too pretty to be Hermione, everyone scrunches their nose like just smell a pot of piss placed in front of them.
Nerds get bullied. Unless you believe the movie or novel version of a badass nerd who ended up with the quarterback jock and walked on the beach, bathing in the glow of sunset together.
Okay, maybe I'm not being fair here. Nowadays nerds don't get bullied anymore because believe it or not, the school and the community are now stood tall against the bullies. However, nerds tend to be left alone, which I'm pretty grateful for because I'm not that good at socializing with people.
I don't need thousands of followers on Twitter or fake friends who left me once things get hard. A friendly reminder: the fact that I don't even have a Twitter account doesn't change my point. I only need a few people who like me for who I really am and don't try to change me.
I found them when I went to a summer camp a few years ago and met Autumn Summers — see the pun I did there, Jessica Williams, and Norma Johnson. The three of us formed a friendship that lasts longer than I honestly thought it would be.
It's the beginning of our third year at Carlton High. Two more years to spend with my friends before my family ships me back to Taiwan to learn Mandarin. It's funny how I can fluently speak English but not really good at Mandarin. Every time someone speaks Mandarin to me, probably assuming that I'm fluent in Mandarin, I have to tell them that I need them to say the translation in English. Embarrassing, right?
I guess it is. But it's not my main problem right now. My friends and I receive a threat letter and keep getting pranks by a mysterious person we'd like to call Villain X. We have no idea who she/he is but we know, if we are not careful, we might find ourselves in deep trouble.

H U N T E R J O N E SI had been playing pool for as long as I remembered. Why? Because I'm good at it and so is the money. Unlike Luc and Ty, I don't do MJ deals. Santiano has tried multiple times to recruit me, saying I have what it takes to be a good dealer, but I knew my life would be better off without it.I worked as a bartender at Le Shack almost every night to support my two younger sisters. I spent the day at Le Shack, playing pool and getting easy cash from people who think they're better than me but end up proven wrong. What about school? Well, I wanted to drop out of high school but my uncle, who happened to be the principal, didn't allow me to. He said I was the school's golden boy and he couldn't afford to lose me.Funny, right? Someone like me considered a golden boy. Perhaps even God loves to joke. I was extremely good at almost every subject, football, and hockey. I've won a few trophies for my school North High, but

⚯͛ You can't stop the feelings you have for someone. You can't lie to yourself either. Your heart knows the truth all too well. ⚯͛"Mey," I felt my mom calling me from downstairs and immediately put the book down on my lap. "Mom?" I called out and yet there was no response so I decided that I had perhaps imagined things. I was sitting cross-legged on my bed, rereading the first time Hagrid came to pick up Harry. "MEY WANG, HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO CALL YOU?"I gulped and practically jumped off my bed and ran downstairs to save my dear life. I found her sitting on the couch by the window and went to sit next to her.She turned and smiled, which surprised me considering I was expecting a lecture. "Mey," she took both of my hands and gave them a little squeeze. "Your dad and I have been talking."

H U N T E R J O N E SI was reading the second Harry Potter book while leaning against the wall in the alley with Ty on my side. I knew Mey had asked me to read the Goblet of Fire to figure out the three unforgivable curses, but after picking the book randomly, I felt that I owed it to the author to read it from the first book. So I had picked up Harry Potter and The Sorcerer's Stone from the library yesterday, finished the book in seven hours, and had it returned this morning. When I had returned the first one, I immediately borrowed the second one: Harry Potter and The Chamber of Secrets which was the book I was reading right now."I don't care what sort of blood you've got!" said Harry fiercely. "Why would I want to attack Muggle-borns?" [ Excerpt From Harry Potter and The Chamber of Secrets by J.K. Rowling ]I was about to bring the book closer to my face when in a matter of seconds, it was suddenly dis

I saw him. I saw Hunter Jones. We were walking home. Autumn and Jess were walking in the front while Norma and I walked a few feet behind them. I heard a familiar voice as I walked past an alley, I stopped and turned to see Tyler Vincent was having a deep conversation with someone. I couldn't see clearly who since his back was on me. I slid my gaze to a figure who was leaning against the wall and immediately recognized him."Mey, what's wrong?" asked Norma who was standing beside me and noticed that I've stopped walking."Isn't that Tyler Vincent?" I nudged my head towards the two guys, knowing if I pointed my finger directly at them, they'd notice.Norma narrowed her eyes to help her see clearly. "Yeah. I think so. And I think that's the car Tyler was using to drive Autumn to school t

It was an ambush. Blake was standing there all by himself when we approached him but then suddenly there were two more guys who came out of nowhere and pushed us forward from behind. The fight was inevitable. I threw as many punches and as many kicks as I could to the two bulky guys while Ty was onto Blake.After what felt like an hour or two, we've managed to knock all three of them. Ty was holding Blake by his collar, looking down at the bruised football player, he said, "If you dare to do anything ever again, you'll face something worse than what you got tonight." Ty shoved him and walked away.He shoved Blake away and turned to me. "You okay, man?""Yeah," I brushed the blood off my lips with the back of my sleeves.

It was harder than I thought. I kept thinking about my plan from the first period until the last one of the day. I made a list of things about why I had no choice but to abort this plan:1. I didn't have his phone number. Maybe I should've just given my phone number instead of being difficult and made him read tons of books.2. I didn't know where he liked to hang out or the school he was in. Believe it or not, our conversation at the party had never touched that subject because he always wanted to talk about me, my interest, and my dream. And the last conversation when he was here a few days ago was far too brief.3. The only thing I could get his phone number and find out more about him was if I talked to Tyler Vincent and I didn't want to risk exposure. If Tyler really was Villain X, h

Her smile was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen in my entire life. She smiled and it seemed to me that the whole world became brighter, merrier, happier. When she smiled, her whole face shone and she looked like an angel.I've never attracted to someone simply because of their smile. Usually, it was their sexy body hidden underneath layers of clothes, their air of confidence showed in their every move, or perhaps the chase, the feeling when someone turned you down and that made you want them even more.With Mey, it wasn't any of that. She wore more layers of clothes than any girl I knew. And I could tell just by the way she walked that she was insecure; her shoulders were hunched over as if she was hiding something. Her footsteps were light and timid. I could count how many times she looked me in the eye when we were talking. It ma

Apparently, he didn't notice how eager I was to turn him into a water goblet just to make him shut up."Whether I am ready or not, it is coming anyway," I replied lazily.
