The Angry Nerd

The Thursday of last was an eventful one for one young Johnny Jennings, Jr. as he had accomplished all of which he had wrote out neatly on his To Do List the night before.
He started the day off right by feeding his pet caterpillar Gandalf the Grey, whom he had named after the fictional character of the infamous Lord of the Rings trilogy of books, of which he was also a huge fan. He would feed the insect nectar covered green leaves he had procured from his garden. When this task was completed, he instantly grabbed his watering pale and watered his award winning garden, of which there were giant chrysanthemums and tiny tulips of which he had pollinated himself.
Johnny Jennings was proud of his garden. Some of his neighbours thought he was a little too proud. Whispers of "Psycho," and "Weirdo," did Johnny hear, but he wasn't fazed. He was what some called a recluse, a freak if you will. Some might say Johnny Jennings, Jr. is as big a nerd as they make them. "I don't care what others think about me," thought Johnny. "Who needs friends when one has every Star Trek Episode ever made?"
When the watering session was finishing up, he had heard some of the neighbors kids in the back yard next to his. He had hated these kids. Bobby Bullwinkle and his friend Henry Honkers reminded Johnny of the bullies in high school that used to tease him. They were throwing the pigskin around in the back and chatting like high schoolers do. "Dude I am soooo downing some brews and taking that damn water tower down once and for all," Bobby said to Henry. "I have an M80 that I would place under one of the posts. Thing would topple over like your mother did last night." Although this statement didn't make much sense, Henry acted offended. "Shutup." Henry said, as the velocity of the ball he threw to Bobby increased to warp speed. "HA! Dude go long!" shouted Bobby. "Will do!" Screamed Henry, as he was headed right for Johnny's fence to his garden. "RANDY MOSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Henry screamed, as he jumped off his friend's mother's car, grabbed the ball and crashed right through the fence, simultaneously wrecking a large portion of Johnny's garden in the process. "Oppps my bad!" Johnny lost his cool. He took the hose out and started spraying the two teenagers. "WHAT THE...????" The two screamed and charged the incensed nerd. "YOU TWO HAVE DAMAGED MY AWARD WINNING GARDEN! MY LILACS! MY PLANTLIFE! NOW YOU WILL PAY!!!!!!" The nerd had been taking multiple karate classes so he thought that this would be no contest. His hopes were short lived, however, when Henry put Johnny in a head lock, whilst Bobby pummeled his skull and gave him noogies. "STOP PLEASE STOP!" Johnny said in mere seconds. "MY ASTHMA! I NEED MY INHALER" Henry let go. "Listen, nerd! You're a freak! Why would you spray us with water you know we're just going to beat your ass!" Johnny acted surprised. "You guys got lucky, secondly, I am far superior tactics wise. Allow me to demonstrate!" Johnny attempted a quick chopping motion at Henry's neck, only to have it slapped away and redirected into his own face. "HAHA! THAT WILL TEACH YOU NERRD!" Henry said. "YEAH! IDIOT!" Bobby injected. The nerd was hurt badly and more so, embarrassed. He ran into his house to see the only thing that could bring him comfort in a time like this. Gandalf the Grey, his pet catarpillar. But Gandalf was gone! "OHHHH WHOA IS ME, SWEET GANDALF!" he said in a whimper. Johnny looked around the enclosure that housed the insect. He saw a reflection off the side of the inclosure that showed his own bloodied face. He had always passed out when he saw blood, but the moment he saw his own reflection he caught a glimpse of where Gandalf the Grey really was. He had spun a cacoon to begin his transformation into a butterfly. "I WILL NAME YOU... GANDALF THE WHITE" said the nerd, as he passed out onto the floor underneath him.

Unbeknownst to him, however, the butterfly had super intellectual capabilities for a caterpillar. He thought to himself just as a normal human would. Gandalf, after seeing all of this unfold, spoke aloud, "Wow, this guy is a huge nerd. As soon as I grow my wings, I am so out of here."
