This is the second part in the nerd project series new characters this time but don't worry your favorites will be making an appearance and Mrs. Ross will still be in this one. I loved writing this so much that I am going to make a series out of it. So, I hope you enjoy reading the nerd project round 2 as much as you did the first one. :)
Prologue
Mrs. Ross' pov
I can't believe summer is already over, but I was eager to see the new faces of my nerd project. I was extremely upset however that they assigned another teacher to help me like I can't do it on my own.
Can't they see the success that the first group made? Hell, this was my idea and now they want me to share it with someone else. A man to boot. Just my luck he was drop dead gorgeous. I did not have time for a man in my life.
The last one hurt me so bad I'm still picking up the pieces three years later. No Mr. Hottie would just have to stay his distance and leave my kids to me. The last thing I needed was a distraction when I was trying to help these kids. I have already paired them up into the groups of two.
Mikey He was by all definitions a gang banger, but he was trying so hard to break free from that. He needed someone to show him the way and I was going to try my hardest to be that somebody. I paired him with Sasha.
She knows first-hand what gangs can do. She lost her little brother when a gang mistook her house for rival gang members and sprayed it with bullets. I think these two could really teach each other a lot.
The next student is Kristy. I don't know what her story is, but I know she has one. She seems to hate everyone, so I paired her with the one person everyone seems to love Josh. He is openly gay and proud of it.
So, if anyone can help to bring Kristy out of her shell it's him. The next is Austin. He has always been rich until recently. With the economy the way it is his family lost everything. He is struggling now that he doesn't have his money and fancy cars.
I paired him with Harmony. She grew up with nothing and has worked hard to overcome that. If anyone can teach Austin a thing or two it will be her. The next one is Tyler. He looks sweet and innocent, but he has been arrested several times for narcotics.
Being here with me is his last chance, and I really want to help him. I paired him with Amelia. She's no stranger to addiction. Her father had OD last year on drugs and her mother is one mean drunk. I have come across her bad side a time or two.
Maybe if Tyler see's the pain drugs cause people he will have a wakeup call, or at least that's what I'm hoping for. The next is Christian. Everyone thinks he is the bad boy, but I have known this kid for a long time, and he is far from it.
He has been a volunteer and advocate for the teen outreach ever since his brother committed suicide a year ago. He wants to help others because he feels like he wasn't there to help his brother. I paired him with Leslie.
She looks like a happy go lucky teen, but she's not. She battles every day with depression. Living with Bipolar is far from easy for her. I really think they can learn a lot from each other and maybe be each other's saving grace.
My new partner is Mr. Jax he is a great teacher and nice guy. He lost his wife last year and hasn't really been the same since. It looks like I may be helping him right along with my students this year. Hell, maybe I could even learn something from him who knows.
Well, there you have it this is round 2 of the nerd project. I can't wait to get started. I just hope it's as successful as it was last year. All I want to do is help them, and with this project I think I can.
Brailey has always been what some would call an empath or a little bit psychic it runs in her family, but it isn’t something she likes to share, and she never really had issues with it until him. Now she sees every little move he makes as if they were one. This must mean something right?
Nakia was the kind of woman other women thrived to become. She had a successful career and a beautiful home that she bought, and she was always on point. At thirty years old, she thought she had it all figured out, but boy was she wrong. Her mama always taught her that you need to be the woman a man wants and not the woman you want to be. Every day Nakia lives to prove that theory wrong. Through her so-called weakness, she has found a strength she never knew existed. Don't ever let someone's negative opinion of you become your reality.
Aiden was good and safe. Everything Josie should want, and everyone thought she needed. Yet he was not the one she craved. She was tired of always playing it safe. So, when she met Bryce, he set her world on fire. He was bad with a capital B. Everything she was missing in her life. The only problem was that Bryce would only end up breaking her heart. He was the love-on-them and leave-them type always looking for the next best thing. She knew that Aiden could give her the type of future she would need but was that even enough?
