Carrie's Crush

Chapter 7

He was beautiful.

Probably the most beautiful man I have ever seen. I couldn't call him a man though, I was almost certain he was my age mate.

As I walked towards my class, totally air headed, spacing out every two seconds. Trying hard not to think about him, but it was almost impossible, I could not stop thinking about his eyes. Brown orbs of beauty. The way they looked at me in annoyance was most likely the worst thing that could happen to me. I did not like that he looked at me like that, I wanted him to look at me like Sophie looked at her phone. I huffed. The sound made my friends to turn to my direction. They had questioning looks on their faces, I pouted, they did not know about my struggles yet. By the time I got here, the teacher was already in, so I didn't have the chance to tell them about the most cliche meeting with the most beautiful person ever.

"Okay fine, what?" Sophie whispered.

I was about to respond in excitement, but I remembered my number one rule, that is, no talking in the classroom, while the teacher is in. I frowned, I always followed that rule, but right now, I wanted to explode with the news.

I opened my mouth to tell them, but I think it was out of habit, since I didn't talk during classes. My mouth shut on it's own. I face palmed in sheer frustration.

"You are so clueless." Sophie said mocking me, amusement clear on her features. I huffed again, getting annoyed all over again.

"And such a baby." She added once she saw how frustrated I was.

"And definitely cute." Andrina said smiling at me. I smiled a huge smile in thanks.

Thankfully, the bell rang. And I jumped up in excitement. I have never been one to jump once school ended, so everyone looked at me eagerly.

I didn't even mind them, I hurriedly packed my books in my bag, humming happily as I did. I didn't know how to find him, but I was sure I would get a copy of his time table when I tell them I wanted to give him a tour.

"Slow down!!" Sophie said, she looked annoyed. Then I realized I was speed walking to the Principal's office.

"Sorry, I just don't want to miss him." I tell her, not stopping but reducing my speed a little.

a jolt in my chest at the thought of his name. Wait, what was that? I asked myself.

to the both of them, pouting and blinking my eyes simultaneously.

Sophie dead panned. I shrug.

Is he supposed to be there?" Andrina

I can find him and give him the tour." I explained my plan.

He looked relieved,
