I stared for a second, but before I could ask, or even think of, questions, Mrs. Suzanne, my chemistry teacher, introduced Mr. Hottie.
"Class, we have a new student who will be joining us for the rest of the semester. Please welcome James Clark! Now James, tell the class a bit about yourself."
I set my binder on my desk when I could finally get ahold of it. I looked at him with dreamy eyes and sighed, waiting for his little speech.
He said, "Well, uh, I'm James, and, um, I just moved here last week from New York. Lemme tell you, Florida is MUCH quieter than New York! Uh, my favorite color is dark blue, and I have one younger sister who's a freshman."
Mrs. Suzanne said, "Okay, James, you can have a seat in that empty chair over there next to Chloe."
He nodded and walked to the empty seat to my left. Part of me wanted to introduce myself immediately, but another part wanted to hide under my desk until the bell rang, yet I can't do either of those because Mrs. Suzanne already introduced me. Then I'd seem like a dork and that is not what I want for my first impression!
I just sat there and stared straight ahead, trying to pay attention to the teacher, but I just couldn't. I could feel him turn every once in a while to look at me, so I had to make sure I wasn't doing anything weird.
But when you actually think about not itching yourself, or touching yourself in weird places, that's when you get the itches, of course. So guess what I was doing for the next twenty minutes?? Itching myself!!
Finally, the bell rang and I bolted out the door to where I meet Kaylie, Alyssa, Trinity, Bella, and Izzy in the middle of the courtyard.
