NERD'S PINKY PROMISE

CHAPTER 4

"Melissa!" Someone called me. I think I've seen her before. Let me think... uhm... Ahh it's the girl I rescued 2 days ago. What's her name uh? Oh I forgot to ask her name since I gave her mine. That was so stupid of me.

"Uhm hey." I awkwardly replied.

"Melissa, you don't have your family name, don't you?" Mr. Smith asked.

"You can just call me Ms. Melissa, sir."

"I'll talk to you later. Now, you can sit beside Mr. Anderson. Mr. Anderson, please rise up your hand."

I looked at Mr. Anderson. I sat next to him and he was sound asleep...SLEEP?! I don't feel the need to wake him up. Nah just kidding. Everyone stared at me as if I'm a murderer.

RINNGG!!

Everyone rushed out to their next class. But, from what I can see, they don't seem to love Mr. Smith's class. That's why they wanted to go out from this hell faster. I gathered all my courage to wake the person next to me. He opened his eyelids and looked straight into my eyes.

"What are you doing?" He asked feeling annoyed.

"Well I uhm...want to wake you up?" I replied with a gulp. Apparently, he found my answer as a question

He stood up to face me and I avoid his gaze. He gave me his signature smirk. When he planned to talk to me, someone cut down his sentences. I was relieved.

"Melissa! I can't believe you study here! Can we be friend? What class do you have next? Mind joining me at lunch? Oh by the way, my name is Caroline Granger." She introduced herself excitedly.

"Uhm yeah, we can be friend. I have Biology class next and yes, I would love to join you at lunch since I don't know anyone yet. It's nice to meet you, Caroline."

"You can call me Carol." While Carol talked to me, this so called Mr. Anderson guy rolled his eyes and mumbled something quietly I can't hear.

-Skip to lunchtime-

As soon as I arrived at the cafeteria, someone waved her hand at me. It was Carol. I smiled at her action. When I approached her, someone tripped me causing me fall. What I know next was that my hot chocolate milk was all over Mr. Anderson's shirt.

"Uh nonono. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to-"My words had been cut off as I feel my cheek on fire. Did I just have myself slapped by a guy? I looked up and to my surprise it's not him but her! Who is she? My eyes got watery so I left the cafeteria.

When I walked out of the cafeteria, I couldn't stop crying. I've never been slapped by anyone before. I run, run far away from cafeteria. I feel like to disappear. Suddenly I bumped into someone's chest. I don't have the gut to look at who was it so I apologize and walked pass through that person until I feel someone held my waist.

"Are you okay? Why are you crying?" The guy asked.

I keep my head down and I shook. "I-I'm fi-fine." I said between my sobbing.
