**Chapter 1: The Unlikely Plan**

Andrew trudged through the school hallways, his eyes fixed on the floor to avoid any unwanted conversations. He was a master of avoiding eye contact, a skill he had honed over the years due to his awkward nature. His black-framed glasses perched on the bridge of his nose, and his short, fluffy brown hair was perfectly messy. He wore his favorite green sweater, paired with a pair of worn jeans, a comfortable combination that made him feel somewhat at ease. As he walked, his hips swayed slightly, earning him a few discreet glances and snickers from his classmates. Andrew was used to the teasing, though. His classmates had affectionately dubbed his butt "hypnotic," and it was a nickname that had stuck. Despite the good-natured jokes, Andrew had grown accustomed to being the subject of attention, even if it wasn't always welcome. Andrew had just finished a robotics club meeting, where he had reluctantly agreed to help with a project. He wasn't exactly thrilled about it, but Missy had convinced him to join, and he couldn't say no to her. They had been friends for a while now, ever since they had broken up as a couple. Andrew still had feelings for her, but he had learned to accept that she was out of his reach. As he turned a corner, he spotted Missy and Nate chatting by their lockers. Nate, the new star of the school's social scene, was laughing at something Missy had said. Andrew's eyes narrowed slightly as he watched them. He had heard rumors that Missy was developing feelings for Nate, and it didn't surprise him. Nate was charming, kind, and smart – everything Andrew wasn't. Andrew's thoughts were interrupted by Nick, his best friend, who clapped him on the back. "Hey, Andrew! What's up?" Nick asked, his eyes sparkling with curiosity. Andrew shrugged, trying to play it cool. "Not much, just got out of robotics club." Nick nodded. "Yeah, I heard you guys are working on a new project. I'm jealous, I wish I was part of the club." Andrew smiled wryly. "You know you're not exactly qualified, Nick." Nick chuckled. "Hey, I resent that! I'm a great builder. I could totally help you guys out." Andrew laughed, feeling a pang of guilt for not taking Nick seriously. As they walked to their next class, Andrew couldn't help but think about Missy and Nate. He had a feeling that his life was about to get a lot more complicated. Little did Andrew know, his life was about to take a dramatic turn. A turn that would lead him down a path of revenge, friendship, and possibly even love. But for now, he was just another awkward teenager trying to navigate the treacherous waters of high school.
