The Art Of Becoming Interesting

In which Taeyeon aims to be considered "popular" by the end of her senior year.

Taeyeon was a hundred percent nerd, but that was definitely about to change. She had been observing them for quite a while now: how they moved, acted, ate and more. Now the only problem was implementing what she had observed towards herself.

 

Foreword

Prologue:
“You’re crazy, you really are.” Sehun shook his head in disbelief as he inserted his books in his bag.  “Really? You’re only stopping me now?” The small girl questioned, pushing her spectacles up.

“Yeah, because I didn’t think you’d actually go through with this plan.” He muttered, slinging his backpack over his shoulder.  “And you remember what happened the last time! No wait, the last three times!” Sehun massaged his temple, continuing his rant about how crazy Taeyeon was.

“But Hun! This time, I feel really good about my plan. This is the best one yet; we can’t let this one through without trying it out! Plus, if I do succeed, then you’ll have something to write in your experiment-ish blog, right?” Taeyeon rounded her eyes and clung on Sehun’s shoulder.

“You can try but I know you’ll fail.”

“Four times the charm, right?”

“It’s three, and you’ve already wasted it.” The taller rolled his eyes as he remembered the last three times that she had failed miserably in becoming a “popular” kid.
“Hey what’s up?” Seunghyun asked, snaking his arm around Jessica, whose locker was beside Taeyeon’s locker. Taeyeon perked her ears up, closing her locker with a slam to get the two royalties to notice her. The couple stared at each other before her in surprise.

“A huge mass of microscopically small droplets of water that have condensed on smaller specks of solid matter called “condensation nuclei”, that’s what’s up!” Taeyeon smiled gleefully with her answer as she pushed her glasses up. The couple gave Taeyeon a hard and long stare of confusion.

Leaning on her locker, Taeyeon folded her arms with pride. “When enough droplets form together, they become visible as to what we call ‘clouds’.” She showed her pearly whites and chuckled with a snort. Jessica rolled her eyes at her, dismissing her with her hand. “Ugh, nerds… they’re so annoying.” She held Seunghyun’s hand and walked away from Taeyeon, who now had a frown on her face.

“Wait! Maybe you want to hear more facts?” She screamed, wanting to run after them if it wasn’t for her hair that was now stuck in her locker. “Dang it!” She stomped her foot.

Strike one.

 

The crowd roared as Kris slam-dunked the ball into the hoop. Taeyeon was at very left corner of the bleachers, waving her pom-poms that were made out of paper into the air to cheer the team on. Their team was two more points away from winning, and Taeyeon thought that it was the right time to bring out her positivity, and maybe get some popularity.

“Kris, Kris, you’re the best! You’re the best among the rest; your face might be crooked and your hair might be a mess, but that don’t matter ‘cause you’re still the best!” She chanted continuously, dancing along to her words. And let me tell you, to see Taeyeon dancing was a huge nightmare.

Sehun tried to pull the girl back to her seat, but it was of no use. Taeyeon jumped up and down, hoping for the crowd to join along with her, and for Kris to hear her.

Her wishes were granted.

Kris twisted to find the culprit who made such an ugly rhyme, especially about his handsome face. Taeyeon waved at him, sending him flying hearts. The basketball player replied to her, catching the hearts that she sent and crushing it with his feet. As he was distracted with her, the other team took the chance to flip the scores around along with the end-time.

Taeyeon pouted as she stopped her chants. The crowd looked at her in anger, some gritting their teeth and some cursing at her. Her little chant had costed them the chance of their basketball team competing internationally.

Strike two.

 

It was during lunch break that she searched for a certain someone. That someone had been her Chemistry partner throughout her whole high school year, and she guessed that it was about time that she had made actual chemistry with him. The good thing was that he was nice and was a part of the popular group.

Taeyeon smiled to herself, humming a song that she had recently heard on the radio. Spotting a familiar brunette, she called him out. “Baekhyun!” He turned around at the call of his name, his beautiful bangs bounced off his forehead flawlessly and his eyes forming little crescent moons.

Taeyeon swore that she wasn’t drooling, but she just suddenly felt a warm trail of wetness trailing down at the side of her lips. She replied a smile back at him, and held out the little Jack Skellington lunchbox that she had been holding. Baekhyun looked at her up and down, “For me?” Taeyeon nodded shyly, and tried to act cutely as possible.

Baekhyun smiled once again and accepted it, he held her wrist and led her to a bench and sat there. “You know this is the first time that a female has given me something like this…” He muttered, taking his first bite out of the lunch that Taeyeon made.

His face contorted as he chewed slowly on the food. Taeyeon, who was still distracted by his handsome and beautiful face, took no attention to his words. “Taeyeon?” He snapped his fingers in front of her. She straightened up, staring at his orbs. “What did you put in this?” He asked her, pointing at the sauce included in the lunch.

“Oh, peanut butter—“

“Peanut butter?”

“Yeah, did you know that it’s good for your—“ She was interrupted by Baekhyun wheezing and gagging. “Why does it not taste good?” Taeyeon asked innocently, unaware of the current situation that they were in. “Dude! I’m allergic to peanut butter!” He coughed, returning the lunchbox to her. Taeyeon frowned, but still patted his back for support.

“Didn’t you listen to me when we were in Chemistry class?” He asked angrily, his lips swelled up now. Taeyeon looked at him in surprise that he would ask that. She did listen to him, but usually only when he said something that she would have found useful for her future life.

Baekhyun coughed more and rushed to the clinic, and that was the end of Taeyeon’s chemistry with Baekhyun.

Strike three. You’re out!

Sehun chuckled at the last time; it was funny to see Byun Baekhyun, one of the most popular guys, scream in help while his lips were swelled. ‘He kind of looked like a blobfish.’ He thought to himself, helping Taeyeon get her things from her locker.

He shook his head once again and muttered the same thing that he had said earlier. “Kim Taeyeon, you are one hell of a crazy girl.”

Taeyeon gave him a glare and punched him playfully. “You’ll see, after the summer vacation and during the start of the next school year, you’ll be surprised. And by the end of senior year, you’ll be begging for me because I’m gonna be the queen of this school.”

After her last sentence, Sehun couldn’t help but burst in fits of laughter. “That’s funny.”

That was the last time that Kim Taeyeon, the nerd, was seen.



► I'm such a bad author. o-o
Please forgive me for making another story without finishing like, what, 7 of my other stories?! eughdatedgeyadjvcsfd
I feel so bad right now. I'm really, really sorry for doing this but I just can't help myself. /slams head onto table/ 
To subscribers and future subscribers, thank you. I might not be able to express it a lot but I am really gratetful for everything. Ugh, how do I end this? Again, I'm really sorry but I still hope that you guys are still gonna stick around. I know this story's redundant, similar to everything that you have read, and just plainly stupid, but I really do hope that I still have at least a teeny tiny bit of your interest for this story.
