I am Not a Nerd
I finished reading The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao and I, Brianna Hannah Montana Rosanna Danna, who once suspected myself of some slight leanings towards nerdiness, am now certain that I am not, and never have been, a nerd of any stripe, polka-dot, or classic Burberry. Hear that, SteveDallas? I am NOT one of you!
So. How did all you nerds rope me in for so long? It's been---years!
I'm going to go to Uni now and smoke with the cool kids. Man, you people are nerds. Esp. you girls.

"Shall I give you a kiss?" Peter asked and, jerking an acorn button off his coat, solemnly presented it to her.
