1. The Nerd

Last updated on: June 23, 2014 20:25 IST

S/he is easy to spot... usually found at the library, or with a book under a tree or in the teachers' common room picking someone's brains about why E=MC2.

Never in the class, always by his Mercediss/Odddie/BMW!

(Prefers BMW because that's the only name he can pronounce correctly.)

Need not be a nerd but will always agree with what the teacher says.
