Carly's seating arrangement

Above is a picture of how I imagine Ryan to be, but if you don't like my vision, use ur imagination and imagine what you want! Enjoyyyy

I noticed people sigh in relief as the teacher said we were starting a new topic, one guy even made a victory fist. The teacher popped the white board marker cap off and turned to write something right before a women holding a stack of papers knocked on

"Hello Mr. Jones, uh you told me to give these to you after lunch, sorry I'm late, the printer wasn't working." The women dressed neatly said giving a smile.

"Oh yes! I totally forgot, thank you Clarice, perfect timing!" He said suddenly excited like the women was holding a big surprise chocolate cake instead of a stack of papers.

"Right well I'll let you to it then." The women said and waved to him and the class before going out of the class. Mr. Jones went to his desk and put the stack of papers on his desk with a loud thump. I noticed people sighing loudly like they were irritated or people holding their faces with their hands. I kind of had an idea now of what that stack could be meaning, but I wasn't sure.

Mr. Jones looked up and smiled at us "Well class, looking at your expressions I guess you guys know you're having a pop quiz!" He said smiling wider, now the class erupted in sighs. He started to hand out the test from the person nearest to his desk and went in rows, since I was in the very end desk, I waited and he passed each one joyfully. Then he went to the last person before my turn, and when he looked at me he raised an eye brow.

"Um, I don't think this is you class." He said confused, and before I could reply Jessy jumped in.

"Oh sorry Mr. Jones she's new, she just joined this Monday, I thought you were informed?" She said.

"Ah yes! How could I forgot the principal told me a week ago we'd have a newcomer, well anyways, welcome to Evergreen high." He said turning to me "Um your name is...Becca?" He asked rubbing his temple.

"Um no, Bella." I said giving a sly smile.

"Oh right! Bella, got it." He said then he saw that I was sitting alone. Just great.

"Oh so Bella, in this class you need to be with a partner, and if I remember right a student just left school last year..." He said turning to look and see where the person used to sit. "Oh right, she used to sit where...Carly is sitting. Carly why are you not sitting with your assigned partner?" He said hands on his hips. Carly sighed loudly before talking.

"Mr. Jones you said you would change the seating plan when Bella joins." She said.

"Yes I remember that! But I change the seating plan, you're not allowed to pick whatever partner you want!" He said sternly.

"Alright, well let's just say you picked me to sit here." She said rolling her eyes.

"Ah these kids are getting worse and worse." He muttered under his breath shaking his head from one side to another in disappointment. "Carly why are you dying to sit there, why on Earth would you want to sit in the front row?" He asked, now that caught people's attention, people who weren't looking looked up and Carly's mouth opened a little, but nothing came out, the guy next to her, Ryan looked at her as well waiting for an answer. Carly quickly came back to reality knowing her crush was listening and her eyes flickered back to the teacher.

"Uh- I just want to- because I... I just do." She said flipping her hair, crossing her arms over her chest and looking somewhere else. Confused, Mr. Jones tapped his foot and rubbed his chin, after a couple seconds he cleared his throat.

"Alright Carly, you can stay in this seat, everyone like I said I'm changing the seating plan." He said out loud, Carly smiled even though I could see she tried to stop it.
