Beauty and the geek

Bianca POV

I grabbed the cold handle of my bag, took a deep breath and stepped into the cool morning air. The cool summer breeze whipped at my scarf as I expectantly looked for the sign. Soon I saw a sign that said Bianca Wainwright. I headed over to the young man holding the sign.
"Are you Bianca?"
I held out my hand.
"Yes I am, how are you?"
"I'm doing well come over here miss."
I followed the young man over to a convertible. He put my bags into the back and I slide into the passenger side. The car ride was long and pretty silent. I was wondering what was in store. When I heard that I was signed up for a reality show honestly I was freaked. I still was kind of clueless on what exactly the show was about. Pretty soon we pulled up in front of a building. I saw a group of girls clustered in front of it. I got out of the car and made my way over.
“Hello ladies, this is just the prep stop. Please get into something nice and get ready.”
We went inside and there were a couple of dressing rooms. I grabbed an outfit out of my bag and headed into one of the rooms. I pulled off my sweat pants and shirt when the door opened. I clutched my dress to my body and quickly turned towards the door. I saw a pretty girl with long brown hair standing in the door.
“Oh sorry the other rooms are already crowded.” She says slipping in the door.
“It’s okay just keep the door closed.”
She just laughed.
“I’m Sofia by the way.”
“Bianca.”
“So do you know what exactly is going on?”
I shook my head no.
I grabbed the curler and started on my hair. It was a mess.
“Want any help?”
“Sure I have a hard time with my hair sometimes.”
Sofia came up behind me and grabbed a brush and the blowdryer.
“I know what you mean. I’m pretty hopeless at makeup.”
“I could do your makeup if you want.”
“Really?”
“Yep.”
Sofia worked and curled my hair. She curled her own hair while I did my make-up then I did hers. (http://www.polyvore.com/introductions/set?id=109869816)
“Does that work.”
I say finishing up her make-up. (http://www.polyvore.com/sofia/set?id=109872324)
“That’s perfect!!”
She says jumping and giving me a hug.
“Sorry I get overexcited.”
“S’okay.”
We headed back out and we were ushered back into the convertibles. I climbed in the back I was sitting between Sofia and a girl with long black hair. She looked at me scoffed and turned back to the window. (http://www.polyvore.com/veronica/set?id=109873261 ignore the scarf)
“What’s her problem?” I whispered to Sofia.
Sofia just shrugged her shoulders. We laughed and talked for the rest of the drive. Soon a large gate looms in front of the car.
“Were at the mansion girls.” The driver remarked.
Sofia and I looked excitedly out of the window. As the house came into view I felt my breath catch. Mansion? It was more like a castle, towering high above the surrounding countryside. We pulled up the long driveway and around the fountain. We came out to the front steps leading up to the large front doors. Plants in pots lined the staircase. When we were all out and lined up a man slipped out from the front doors.
“Good morning ladies. If you would follow me I will explain everything to you.”
We followed him inside. I stared in awe as we entered the castle. Two double staircases curved up to a second story. The vaulted and domed ceilings made our footsteps echo and the large crystal chandelier looked like it would fall at any second. We went into a doorway just to the left of the staircases.It was elegantly decked out and fairly modern. We all sat down at the couches.
“Well girls you were all specifically chosen. You all have something in common you are all beautiful. “
We all smiled at his comment and I felt my cheeks blush a little bit.
“You all have something else in common. None of you has ever known what it is to be the valedictorian or be on the honour role. “
Chuckles spread across the room. You could have been a voice in the back of my head whispered. I shook my head slightly clearing my thoughts.
“We have 8 boys in the other room that have. However they don’t know what it’s like to be popular. That’s what this is. It’s a social experiment. You will work with the boy helping them learn social skills and they will help you with your academic potential. The boys are waiting in the other room. We are putting you on 8 teams. Soon one of the boys will come in here and introduce himself. You girls will then decide who will be his partner. Then a girl will do the same till all the teams are paired. When you have your partner you may go choose your room. You will share a room with your partner.”
Wait share a room with a guy I just met? I think not.
“I am Carson and I will be your host for the show.”
Carson left the room and we looked at each other.
“Did anyone know this was going to happen before they got here?” A girl with dirty blonde hair asks.
We all shake our heads no.
“Ooh we should play an introduction game before the first guy comes in.”
“What are we telling everyone?” I ask.
“Hmmm…..name, age, job and relationship status?” Sofia offers.
The girl with the black hair laughs.
“That sounds like a facebook profile. How about name, age, relationship status, virginity status and whether any of us would even consider dating one of the boys in the other room?”
Some of the girls laugh.
“Switch virginity status and job and I’m in.” A girl with caramel skin and dark hair says.
We all sit in a circle.
“Well I guess I’ll start. I’m Sofia, I’m 18 I am single and work as a waitress and if one of the geeks was cute and not boring I would consider it.” Sofia says with a smile.
She looks at the girl sitting next to her with the dirty blonde hair.
“I’m Katy, I’m 19. I’m a stewardess. I’m single and loving it so no I wouldn’t date one of the geeks.”
She looks at the girl next to her who has chocolate brown hair.
“I’m Lilliana, I’m 20, I’m a model I have a boyfriend so I wouldn’t date a geek cause I’m taken. “ she says with a smile.
Two other girls go until it gets to the one girl with black hair. The girl who just went Lucy I think nudged her and she shook her head.
“Come on the rest of us are saying you can too.” Sofia says.
She huffs.
“Fine I’m Victoria I’m 21 I am a professional model and actress I’m single and geeks are gross so I would never date one.”
The girl next to her giggles slightly. Finally there are two of us left me and the girl with the caramel skin.
“I’m Elyssa I’m 20 I’m a dancer, I’m single and if he was cute enough I would date a geek.” She says with a smile.
It was finally my turn.
“Umm…I’m Bianca I’m 19 I’m a student. “
At this the rest of the girls look at me with raised eyebrows.
“I’m studying music and dance.” I explain.
The make an oh face before I continue.
“I’m single and not really looking and I honestly don’t know if I would date a geek. I mean if they were cute I might but like if their cute and boring then I don’t know and if theyv’e got a great personality but aren’t attractive then I would definitely probably turn them down and…..”
Sofia cleared her throat and nodded her head with her eyebrows raised. I turn and see a very nervous guy standing in the door.
“Oh my gosh.” I say blushing a deep red and putting my face in my hands.
“I’m Carl. I am a stock trader that means I work with number and such I predict what the next trends are and do damage control and such when the market…….” I tune him out as he drones on about his job.
Soon he finishes and looks at the ground hands clasped shifting nervously. We smile at him and he goes out the door.
We all turn towards each other.
“So whos going to go with him.”
We all sit and think.
“I guess I will” Lilliana states.
“Anyone else want to pitch in?” Sofia asks. Everyone else remains quiet.
“Okay.”
Lilliana gets up and exits the room.
“So who wants to introduce themselves to the guys?” I ask.
One of the girls Gwen I think leaves the room. After about 10 minutes another guy comes in. He has a sweater vest set on. He has glasses on and is kind of scruffy but he has cuteness potential.
“I’m Jeremy, I’m 21 and I am an owner of my own business.” Jeremy finishes introducing himself and leaves the room.
“I want him.” Elyssa and Veronica say at the same time.
“How about rock paper scissors?” I suggest.
The girls play and Elyssa wins. She squeals and heads out the door. Veronica huffs and sits back on the couch.
Lucy gets up and heads to the other room. 10 minutes later another boy came in. He was kind of large with messy hair and glasses.
“I’m Marcus.” He stammers. He is really shy and stammers thorough his introduction. When he leaves we turn to each other.
“He is so shy and like a big teddy bear.” Katy says.
“Do you want to be his partner?” I ask
Katy looks up thinking.
“Yep.” She says with a smile.
She leaves and we look at each other. Sofia, Veronica and I are the only ones left.
“I’ll go in.” Sofia offers.
She squeezes my hand.
“Good luck.” She whispers and leaves.
Finally a boy comes in. Veronica and I look at him in shock.
“Hi I’m Nathan I’m an accountant and I made up a song and dance to introduce myself.”
He starts to sing and dance horribly. From what I could understand it sounded like it was about math. I look at Veronica with a bewildered look on my face. I see the same look on her face.
“What is he doing?” I mouth at her.
She shrugs her shoulders and shakes her head. When he finishes he bows and leaves the room. Veronica crosses her arms and sits back on the couch.
“I’m not dealing with him. Go ahead.” She says gesturing towards the door.
“I don’t want to put up with him.” I say crossing my arms.
“Rock, paper, scissors?” Veronica asks.
I lean forward and we play. I get paper and she gets a rock. She looks at me in shock.
“Best two out of three.”
I nod and we play again. She throws scissors and I throw rock.
“Looks like he’s your partner.”
She huffs and stands up and storms out of the room.
I stand up wondering what were supposed to do now. I peek my head out of the door and see a boy standing in the middle of the foyer nervously. I walk up to him and offer him my hand.
“Hi, I’m Bianca. I guess your my partner.”
He looks at me then my hand in shock. I take a second to look him over. He is wearing a sweater set with gelled back hair and glasses that are taped together in the middle.
“H-H-Harry.” He stammers out.
I grab his arm.
“Well Harry let’s see what room the girls left us.”
I head up the staircase peeking in rooms. In every room I look in there’s someone in there or stuff all over the place. I finally get to a wooden door at the end. Opening it I see a winding staircase. I turn towards Harry.
“I’m going up.”
Without waiting for a response I head up the stairs. Opening the door at the top I step into an old fashioned elegant room. Vaulted ceilings and hardwood floor the room hasn’t been modernized. I look into the adjoining door and see a walk in closet and a full sized bathroom. Turning I see Harry in the door.
“Well I think this is the last one left. I guess it’s ours.”
I say flopping down on the bed. I wonder why anyone else hasn’t taken it. Thinking about it I realize why and freeze.
There’s only one bed.
