My Sweetheart

My Sweetheart- Chapter 6

I woke up with a smile on my face and was happy to go to school. To see Carter. I had to mentally slap myself to try and get the feeling of his arms around me, out of my head. I was becoming too sappy. He was just a crush. He probably doesn't even like me as much as I like him. I shrugged the feeling off, still feeling happy and showered and changed. I wore black bootleg jeans, a blue Batman tee and blue Nike's. I got downstairs and Harris was having breakfast.

"You're up early," Harris said, "doesn't have anything to do with Carter perhaps?" He chuckled and I smacked his head. Harris was driving me to school since he got his car back from the shop. We had our breakfast and went on our way.

We got to school and met up with Carter and as usual, Hannah was hanging off his arm. Carter looked uncomfortable but made no move to shrug her off, so I just ignored it.

"Hey C," Harris greeted Carter and they shook hands. Hannah was glaring at me with a smirk on her face.

"Hey bro," Carter said to Harris and turned to me, "hey Red."

"Hi Carter." I said smiling and made my way to look for Alana. I found her at our lockers and hugged her. I told her all about what happened the day before and she was fuming! She hated Hannah.

"But hey," I said trying to lighten the mood, "at least we got invited to a party!" That made her lighten up immediately and I could sense the wheels turning in her head.

"Gosh Red, we have to make you look so hot that Carter won't know what hit him!" She shrieked and I chuckled.

"Yeah, yeah," I said laughing, "let's get to form room!"

We went to class and sat down. The teacher came in and did the morning routine.

"Hey girls," Hannah said to her cronies, "Carter invited us to a party at his place!" My heart sank when I heard that and Lana nudged me.

"Don't worry about her," Lana said, "you will be the talk of the party. I guarantee that!" I smiled and nodded.

The bell rang, signalling first period and Lana and I went our separate ways. I started to walk to Maths class and saw Carter and Hannah chatting so I just walked past them.

"Hey Batman!" Hannah yelled and snickered and I just ignored her.

"Nice tee Red." Carter said smiling and I smiled back.

"Ew, don't smile back!" Hannah shrieked, "Carter was just being sarcastic. For a nerd, you sure are dumb!"

"Oh." I said and put my head down and began to walk away.

"I wasn't being sarcastic Red!" Carter said and I kept on walking.

I reached the class and eventually the lesson started. I felt a tap on my shoulder and turned around.

"Yeah?" I asked Carter.

"Er can I borrow a pencil?" He asked and I saw Hannah's head shoot up.

"Here Carter, I have a spare!" She said happily and I turned back around.

Classes flew by and soon enough lunch had come. I was relieved 'cos I was super hungry. Alana had lunch at a different time and I usually sit alone. I grabbed what I wanted from the cafeteria and made my way to my usual table. As I sat down to eat, Carter and Harris came to my table with their trays.

"Hey guys," I said smiling, "what's cracking?" They both chuckled and sat with me. From the corner of my eye, I could see Hannah fuming and a small smile formed on my lips.
