Extra Credit Pt1 — Popular Yandere x Nerd Reader

You sit alone at the edge of the cafeteria, hidden behind the fortress of your laptop screen and a wall of untouched fruit cups. The noise around you doesn’t register—voices bounce, shoes squeak, laughter surges in waves—but you’re too busy organizing your notes for the third time today.

And then he walks by. Atlas Crowe. Of course his name is ridiculous. So is the way people orbit him like planets caught in his gravitational pull. Varsity captain, head of student council, the boy they built statues of in the hallway with yearbook spreads and committee photos.

You barely exist in his world. Or so you thought.

“Hey,” he says one afternoon, leaning over your chemistry homework like he belongs there. “You’re the smart one, right? Help me out.”

It’s innocent—too innocent. But then he starts sitting with you. Every. Day. Abandons his throne in the center of popularity to share vending machine meals and Google Docs. People start whispering. You start second-guessing every glance, every compliment.

“You know,” Atlas says one night while you tutor him, voice low and too close, “you’re kind of mesmerizing when you explain quantum theory. Like you’re speaking a foreign language, only I want to learn.”

You freeze. His hands are too clean for this. His face is too pretty. His locker is filled with notes and candy, and here he is—eyes locked onto yours like you’re the answer to a question he hadn’t dared ask until now.

Soon, your blog gets flooded with anonymous messages quoting your writing. Someone starts following all your playlists, liking posts seconds after you publish them. You mention offhand that you’re into niche documentaries—Atlas starts referencing them in class presentations as if they're his new motto.

You overhear one of his friends complaining. “She’s weird, dude. Like, no offense, why are you into her?” Atlas smiles, soft and eerie. “Because she’s not into me,” he says. “Yet.”

And now, there’s glitter on your desk. Not the fun kind—the invasive, sticky kind that somehow spells your name on his notebook. The whole school watches as the golden boy trades stadium lights for late-night texts about your favorite books and obscure philosophers. But it’s not romantic. It’s quietly terrifying.

One day you log into your private study server and find a folder: “She Who Taught Me Devotion.” Inside are transcripts of everything you’ve ever shared—academic papers, chat logs, notes you thought were deleted.

Atlas finds you at your locker, smiling like a sinner blessed by obsession.

“I’m popular, yeah,” he says. “Everyone wants me. But you? You made me need you.”

how i study and stay motivated⋆.ೃ࿔*:･🍦💕

as a senior, i know that a lot of my peers are experiencing senioritis and i know that highschool can be tough in general. it's so easy to slack off and fall behind but as someone who pushed through and is graduating next year with flying colors i wanted to share some of my best tips for the dolls still in the midst of highschool...💬🎀

FIND YOUR WHY ;

what is your dream? what is your goal? why are you doing this? and be raw and real with yourself. if your having trouble deciphering your "why", find someone to compete with. now im not telling you to go up to the person and say "hey im competing with you" nor am i telling you to be weird and hostile. NO. a little healthy competition now and then is so good for you.

i like to have a little fire under to me to push me when im not feeling like doing something. if the thought of competing with someone else makes you uncomfortable, COMPETE WITH YOURSELF.

WHEN YOU LOOK GOOD YOU FEEL GOOD ;

this is a principle i literally LIVE by. i always doll myself up before school. i make sure to wake up earlier than i need to so that i have adequate time to do my hair, my makeup, give my body the love and care that she DESERVES.

looking good is literally the easiest way to feeling good. if you've been in a funky mood, i promise just taking a shower, doing your skincare and brushing your hair will make you look 100x better -> which will lead to you FEELING 100x better. not only does it make you feel better but it boosts your productivity as well.

MAKING SURE MY SLEEP SCHEDULE IS INTACT ;

if you doomscroll before bed and wake up feeling like a zombie thats so unsustainable and very un-hot. here are some tips to get your sleep schedule under control and keep it that way for GOOD.

📔 sleep with your phone across the room

🎀 as soon as you wake up, instead of not going on your phone at all, i've found that by setting a ten minute timer and scrolling a bit on pinterest really wakes me up

📔 go to sleep and wake up at the same time everyday. if you went to bed at midnight but your trying to get up at seven everyday, still wake up at seven! that way ur body is already sleepy and you'll ACTUALLY sleep on time

🎀 have a pretty ringotne when you wake up

STAY ORGANIZED AND STAY PLANNING ;

my notion and google docs have literally saved my ass TIME AND TIME AGAIN. its so easy to stay on top of deadlines, assignments etc. im so incredibly productive and i finish my work early! something that i've lived by is that if im not ahead im behind.

with that in my mind i always complete my assignments as soon as possible and at the end of the school week i'll give myself a little bit of a preview of the next lesson. here's my secret formula :

study before class + listen during class + study after class = u actually understand the material

i promise if you do this you'll understand the concepts you're learning so much better! also knowing how you study plays a huge role in highschool and academic success in general.

REWARD YOURSELF ;

because rewarding yourself for your milestones and achievements is the best way to ACTUALLY stay on track. in my google docs i made a cute little table with the grades that im aiming for and the reward i'll give myself when i achieve them.

and ofc customize this TO YOU and your goals. positive reinforcement makes success ADDICTIVE and it makes you wanna achieve your goals again and again and again.

HOW I STUDY + OTHER MISC. TIPS ;

im a huge fan of the pomorodo method (25 minutes of focus and 5 minutes of rest) and i do this until i've completed my objective. i also really love active recall! i'll read my textbook/watch my lesson and then brain dump everything i remember from it. before going back and comparing what i remember to what was actually in the lesson.

📔 i LOVE using quizlet and making flashcards, im a memorizer.

💕 i always start off with the most difficult assignment first and then save the easiest for last.

📔 use ghost deadlines, instead of putting the ACTUAL due date in ur calendar, put it a few days before it that way you're never late on an assignement.

WRESTLE IT OUT

? slowburn!hollis x childhoodfriend!reader

? based on song WRESTLE IT OUT by TOMMY FLEECE

? hollis was always just your best friend, till he wasn't

you loved hollis. no, it wasn't a weird love. you loved him like a brother. he always took care of you when roman couldn't. sure, roman was a great older brother, but there was times that he forgot you existed.

especially during middle school, when having a girlfriend was the coolest thing to him.

you were sitting in the front of the school, waiting for roman so you guys could walk to school. it already been about 30 minutes since you all got out of school, and you were starting to get worried. but then you heard footsteps behind you.

"finally roman, god what even takes you-" you stop midway, turning around and noticing you aren't talking to roman.

"he's stuck with her again. i'm walking you home" hollis lived 3 blocks away from your house, which he didn't mind walking to make sure you had someone there.

embarrassed, you said nothing and walked with him in silence for a while. you wished your brother missed you as much as you missed him. 7th grade was already hard enough.

"it's okay to be mad, you know that right?" hollis asked you with a sure calm tone, and stared intently at you.

all you can do is nod.

roman wasn't like that anymore, as you are in his car riding to the last day of his senior year. self control playing in the background only making you more emotional. your older brother is leaving you behind.

you already had your license and had plenty of friends. but still, you had to bite your lip to stop yourself from crying in front of him. you didn't want him to worry.

he starts singing with a loud and content voice, and you look to him and smile. he was finally done with school, something that he had hated for his entire life.

when the school came into view, you realized who else was leaving. hollis. the person who yelled at the cheerleaders for laughing at you at tryouts. the person who punched a guy in the eye because he wouldn't take no for an answer. the person that you could text and would answer in one second.

you suddenly feel the pit in your stomach, the feeling of dread and loss. roman parks the car at the front of school and yells while he gets out of the car. you sit there for a second gathering yourself before leaving the car. you look to the right and see hollis, nate, and roman hugging and jumping in a circle.

you leave the parking lot without saying bye, knowing that you couldn't say hi without crying. heading toward the school with both headphones in, playing the demo hollis sent you last night.

everyone at school knew hollis was starting to make music, and you had the privilege of hearing it all. the demos, the beats, the lyrics, all of it. he cared about what you had to say.

this song felt different. there was a repeating guitar throughout the song, there weren't many lyrics yet, but he already had the bridge down.

"you used to take me there,

in the back of the convertible,

you put your fingers in my hair,

next they're in my underwear."

you let the lyrics sit, and you realize that they were probably your favorite yet.

you turn off your phone and walk into the the science classroom you hate. walking in you see all of the amazing people of your junior class, chatting around about the newest pregnancy scare in the school.

you always sit in the front away from everyone. you didn't hate them; you hate the noise they make. all of the false allegations they had on each other to sound cool, it was exhausting.

hollis never cared about what people said about him, and boy, did people talk. they said his music sucked, how they didn't like his long hair, and how they hated the way he didn't care.

and that's why you loved him so much.
