This is a bit of a filler chapter...
So here goes! :)

After the Valentine's dance, everything was like a dream. Carter and I became the cutest couple in our school. Joey trudged around the school looking sad. But he was surrounded by 5 girls, as usual. Any other boy wouldn't be sad about that. Looks like I really affected him!
.
March Break was coming up and everyone was bustling with excitement. I was excited too, because my parents planned to go to for my braces in the big city, and probably go see a movie,and go shopping. Long story short, we're not gonna do that much stuff. So I'm basically going nowhere and back.
Carter on the other hand was super excited, because his mom had told him that they were going to Florida! He was practically jumping for joy when he told me.
Now, we were both at my locker, discussing on the upcoming March Break. Our teacher had let everyone out of class 10 minutes early, since she had to run off somewhere and no one could replace her.
" I'm really going to miss you when you will be in Florida."
He smiled, and grabbed my hand, giving it a slight squeeze. I smiled and blushed.
" I'll miss you too, babe."
Awww! He called me babe! By now I was probably beet red. Like REALLY red. I was about to give his hand a squeeze again when a cough brought us out of that "lovey dovey" trance we were in. We turned around to find Carter's older brother, Jack, staring at us while grinning mischievously.
He was a teacher at our school now, in the 8th grade English class to be exact. He was funny and young so all the girls in his classes would act like the ALWAYS needed help with their work and swoon around him because he was " soooo hot". Personally, I thought he was okay. Not that hot, but okay. And besides, if I liked Jack, Carter would go crazy. Poor guy. Imagine. Going out with a girl, and then realizing she was in love with your older and much more attractive brother.
" Kids, no PDA in the hall."
He said in his serious voice, that I couldn't take seriously. We were silent for a few seconds, but I couldn't take it anymore. I burst out laughing, and Carter followed. Jack , is so different outside of school.
"How do you know what PDA means? You're like, old."
He usually wears jeans, and a regular t-shirt, and won't hesitate before barging into a room. Especially the room we would be in. Then he would just march right over and beat his brother up.
But in school, he put his serious disguise on, with dress pants and shirt and becomes all nice to Carter. But you can see in his eyes that he is resisting the urge of grabbing his brother into a headlock.
The bell rang, dismissing everyone. Carter and I started walked outside, onto our bus. The whole time Carter was oddly quiet" What's wrong?"
