The one that got away

Chapter Two. Carter knows Best

'Carter, i can take care of myself.' I loved Carter but he was just too over protective of me.
'Winter, i don't want any guys to try and take advantage of you. I just want to help.'
'I know Carter. But you were the one who told me you only saw me as a sister. So scaring off every guy i may start to like is not okay. I mean i know Kyle is a terrible person but you do this with every guy who ever talks to me. I do have an actual older brother to scare them off for me.' Carter was my absolute best friend and i never wanted to hurt him. And he never wanted to hurt me. But he knew how i felt about him and yet over the summer he told
Me he saw me as his little sister. Yeah it crushed me to hear it, but i wasn't going to lose my best friend over something so dumb.

I shut my locker and started to walk to my first class. Science. Oh a great way to start the year. Saracasm. Science and I have never got along. I mean why do i care how atoms and electrons work and move and stuff? Its really boring and i don't care about it.
'Winter, wait up. Im sorry that i do that. But you deserve the best of the best and no guy thats ever talked to you has been the best of the best.' I kept walking even though i knew Carter would follow me. 'Winter, were going to the same place. You cant escape me for Long.' Oh shit. I forgot we had basically the same schedule. The only difference with it was the fact that i took Honors English and he had regular English.
'I know Jackass. I just don't want to be late and make a terrible impression on her. I might actually try this year.'
'Who are you trying to convince me or yourself?' I hated when he was right. He was always right. This was one of his most annoying traits.
'Im still upset with you.' I said while walking through the doors and into the classroom full of people that i couldnt stand.
'You love me and you know it.' Carter pulled me into the back and we took the last two seats. Which, thankfully, were right next to each other. I didnt know how i would make it through the year without him next to me.
'Class please sit down and shut up.' I looked up from putting my stuff under my desk to see my new teacher, Ms. M. She was an older lady who looked like a bird. Have you ever seen Jimmy Neutron? Well if you have my teacher looked like his teacher. It wasn't a pretty site.
'Im going to start to take attendance and hopefully after this year I forgot all your names. So dont fail my class because i wont want you next year.'
My phone started to buzz. Thank God i remembered to turn it on vibrate. I secretly pulled it out to see what idiot messaged me.

'Doesnt she look like Neutrons teacher?' I knew there was a reason that he was my best friend. 'You cant stay mad at me forever, W. I wuvers you.' He knew me too well. I put my phone in my pocket and decided to focus on what the teacher was doing. I looked up to see everyone staring at me.
'Are you Winter Tyler?' Ms. M didnt seem too happy with me.
'Yeah I am.'
'Well, Miss Tyler ive been calling your name for the past three minutes and i was going to mark you as absent, but all the other students started to stare at you so i just put two and two together and figured you were Miss Tyler. We waited until you were done texting whomever is more important than my class so we could go on with the day. But before we do that give me your phone. Oh and Miss tyler. Tell your brother that he might not be the worst Tyler there is. Tell him i met you.' Great. She hated me from the get go.
I gave her my phone and i took my seat sinking to the very bottom and i tried to hide the rest of the period. Finally the bell rang. And the rest of the morning went smoothly.
