Be super nice, erase my own personality, go with the flow,

It's never failed me before, and surely it's not going to fail me at nerd camp, where by definition, no one here is too cool for school.

So I keep trying to be as agreeable and accommodating as possible.

At the end of the first week of camp, we're playing a game in class that requires other people to help us solve our mystery genotypes.

This involves passing slips of paper to our friends with questions on them.

Like, if I had a kid with someone who has attached earlobes, is it possible that our kids could have attached earlobes too?

And if the answer is no, then I know that I'm homozygous for the autosomal dominant trait of having detached earlobes.

Super simple.

But...

During the game, my friends, instead of passing back real answers to me on the slips of paper, they write, why are you so ugly?

And you're stupid.

And at the end of the game, I'm the only one who hasn't been able to figure out my genotype.

As the classroom empties out, I sit in my chair and I rack my brain trying to think of what I've done to offend Megan and Tori and Heather and the others.

And I really can't think of anything.

But I hope that maybe this is just some weird hazing ritual.

Maybe if I weather anything that they throw at me, they'll finally accept me.

So I trail along behind them to the cafeteria.

And we set our trays down at the same table where we always sit.

And the other girls pass around a look.

And Megan says, I have a story to tell.
