NERD'S PINKY PROMISE

CHAPTER 5

"No, you're not. Now I want you to look at me."

I slowly looked at his face. He has brown hair and beautiful green eyes. He's handsome and he has a perfect jawline. I think every girl like him. And nope. That does not include me.

"Like what you see?" He said as he smirked. Ughh why do boys love to smirk? Do they have smirk syndrome or something? "Uhm no." Thinking back that I suppose to a nerd, so I pretend that I scare of him. I faked my nervous and scared look until he let go of my hand.

"Uh sorry. I didn't mean to-"I don't want to hear anything from him so I run as fast as I could. When I arrived in front of the staff room, I stopped. Mr. Smith opened the door and I cursed under my breath. Damn I tried to avoid him so badly that he won't question about my presence. But luck is not mine today so I sighed heavily.

"There you are Melissa. I've been waiting for you." I forced a smile at him as he invites me to come in and so I did. "Mind telling me your full name?" he asked in such a serious tone. Why does he need to know that?! What's wrong with not having family name? "Well sir, as I told you before, you can just call me Ms. Melissa. I uhm kinda don't have family. Yeah I don't have family. I'm just an orphan from UK who wants to study in America." Shit, my palm sweats a lot now.

"I'm sorry to hear that. It's rude of me to force you." Hah, you see! He brought my lie. With that, I excused myself as I heard the sound of the school bell.

I came to my class on time! Everyone stared at me as I entered the class. I can tell that nobody like my presence. I took the middle seat and took out my book to read as the teacher's not here yet. After a few minutes, Mr. Griffon entered our class and started teaching. As we were paying our fullest attention, someone slammed the class door.

"Why are you late again, Mr. Gothenburg?" Mr. Griffson asked in his stern serious voice. He was pissed off. I guess this guy is always late for this class.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Griffson. I had to settle somethings. I promise I won't be late again." He apologized while rubbing the back of his head.

"It's been more than a hundred times you said that. I don't want to hear any excuses again. You will have detention after school, young man. Now take your place."

Wow, this guy is really is a trouble. Wait, isn't he the one I bumped into a while ago? Someone tapped my shoulder as I tried to recall back. "Hello, my name is William Gothenburg. May I know what your name is?" He asked. "It's Melissa." I simply replied. "Full name?" I shook my head and he was surprise. "It's none of your business." He pouted and we continue our studies.

As I walked out of my class, William approached me. "What do you want?" I said. "Do you still remember me? I hope you still do." I looked up at him with a 'are you serious right now' face. "Let me guess...You're the one asking if I was alright during lunch time. Am I right?" he gave me a smile. When he tried to say something, Carol interrupted us.

"Melissa, fancy go out for a dinner with me after school?" She asked. She then shock as she saw William. More like mad? "What are you doing here, William?" She asked angrily. "Whoa whoa chill woman. I'm just talking with her and nothing more." What is happening between them? Do they know each other?

"Uhm guys?" Suddenly, Carol slapped William and pulled my wrist, getting out from that place. With that, we stood in front of school's gate.
