Realizing that I was staring, I quickly glance around the classroom, making sure no one caught that. It didn't look like anyone noticed.

I walk all the way around the classroom, to the seat beside the new kid, instead of cutting through the aisle. I don't want him to notice me that much even though he still will.

Just as I approached the seat, Iris walks right in front of me. She has her stuff in her hand when I realize what she's doing.

"Oh, um Mercia," she starts to say, when I interrupt.

"Mercy." I say annoyed.

New kid looks up and studies the both of us. Confused as to why we both are in front of him near the end of the period.

"Right, Mercy. You can go sit over there," she points to her old seat on the other side. "I'll sit over here. More natural sunlight."

I wasn't going to argue. I mean, she seems desperate for the new kid right now. It was near the end of class anyways.

"Okay, Iris. No problem." I reply with a fake smile.

Iris sits down in the seat, then looks up to me confused but then smiles. I smile back. From the corner of my eyes I see new kid shift a bit away from her. I'm laughing my ass of in my head.

I make my way to Iris's old seat and sit down. In about 5 minutes the bell is going to ring so I don't bother to take out my stuff.

I glance in Iris's direction and catch new kid looking right at me. I didn't want to make it seem like I liked him or anything, I just met him. So I play the hard to get card. I smile at him and throw a small wave in his direction.

I guess he caught himself staring or something cuz he nervously smiles and turns back. I turn back to the front of the classroom before he witnesses my tomato outbreak.

The bell rings and I'm the first one out. I take out my phone and start texting Savannah and Zara about what just happened. Not looking up as I was rushing through hallways, I bump into my principal. Great.

He puts out his hand indicating me to handover my phone. Hesitant, I hand it over. I feel like crying right now. My phone just got taken away. Ohmygod.

"Come to my office right before lunch. I would like to have a word with you." He says.

I nod and say, "ok."

Should we continue this book? We are planning on starting another new one which is well planned out but we can do both. Just comment down. This was literally a pointless chapter.
