Carrie's Crush

Chapter 4

When I got back to class, I hurriedly sat back down on my seat, eager to learn more about the history of America. While my friends said it was boring, I thought it was fun. In my excitement to learn new things, I totally forgot about the new student. I was more focused on the things Mr Karl was saying, eagerly jotting down the things he said.

My friends called me a nerd, I don't think I am one, I just love reading, and finding out new stuff, it is my hobby, I enjoy the serenity I get from books, and the excitement I feel finding out new things. It was refreshing every time. I was well aware that my friends did not share my views, and probably didn't completely understand me, but they let me be me, without discriminating me, even if they thought I was boring and no fun.

From my side eye I could see Sophie fiddling with her phone, I knew she was texting someone, most likely a guy. I didn't see the reason for distracting myself with boys when I could have knowledge instead. I think it's a complete waste of my valuable time.

Soon Mr Karl's time was up, and I heard a collective sigh of relief from all my classmates, including Andrina and Sophie. I sighed too, but it was not a sigh of relief, I didn't want the class to end, I enjoyed it too much.

"We have chemistry next!" I exclaimed excitedly. My friends frowned. I didn't understand them, at all. They didn't like any classes we had, except Andrina, she loved Home Ec. But Sophie, I don't think she loved any of the classes.

I packed my books hurriedly, as I didn't want to miss out on the next class. Then I remembered our new student. I raised my head to scan the classroom, a few students who didn't run out as soon as the bell rang littered the classroom. All the faces I saw were familiar. I frowned, that is odd, I was sure the Principal said he was in my class.

"Hey guys, have you seen the new student?" I asked them as my eyes still scanned the place, just in case I missed anything.

"I know he was in our class, Mr Karl introduced him while you were out." Andrina informs me.

"Well I don't see him." I said irritatedly.

I didn't want to walk around school looking for someone who is good at hiding, and miss my classes. I pushed my glasses up my nose and groaned. He was not here.
