You sat down at your desk, waiting for the professor to start the lecture. Economics. Wasn't that fun? Your nose deep in your own book, you didn't hear the quiet shuffling of Javi, setting his backpack on the ground and sitting down in a chair next to you. Despite only knowing him for a few months, he seemed like a mystery to you. A book you can't quite understand. Everyone knew who Javi was. The handsome and admired guy in the class. His tattooed neck giving off the vibe of "trouble". He was too focused on something else. His chin resting on the palm of his hand, his glasses slid down his nose just a bit. His eyes turned to glance at you before looking back up ahead where the professor sat. It gave you chills. Something was truly off about him. Something didn't settle right about him. There was more to it than just his shady and quiet personality...

Once the professor started his lecture, you seemed to lag behind. A fish unable to catch up with the others in the stream. The person on your left was snoozing. And Javi was on the right of you, with his notebook blank. You rather not disturb the person next to you sleeping so hesitantly, you tap your pencil to get Javi's attention. "Hey..uhm..do you know the answer to this question..?" You ask him. Javi turns to you, glancing down at your paper. "Why is economics heavily based on the average American..?" He asks you. It's almost as if he's questioning himself. You nod. "It's pretty easy." Javi takes your pencil out of your hands, writing down the answer. And then your brain clicks.

Javi is an intellectual. A hidden nerd...
