The New Kid

Chapter 7

Chapter 7- Veronica's POV.

It was the lesson after lunch now, and we were watching some film in Italian (Because the class was Italian. We were learning the language).

It was rather confusing as I haven't really done Italian before, so I didn't really get what they were saying.

I was sitting with my new friends, Charlie and Emma.

We knew we were best mates as soon as we started making conversation at lunch, when Christian was too busy staring at me to see what I was actually doing.

Charlie had long red hair, and her eyes were as blue as a swimming pool.

Emma, had blond curly hair with chocolate brown eyes.

They were both really pretty.

A lot more pretty compared to me, in my opinion.

We were sat in rows and I sat between Christian, and Charlie. Christian was on my right, and Charlie was on my left.

Emma was sitting behind Charlie and we kept passing notes around and just taking the piss out of the film that we were watching.

We all had our feet on the chairs in front of us, like the bad ass people we are!

Christian kept on tapping my knee with his pen, which I didn't mind because it felt quite nice and it kind of tickled.

When he first started doing it I turned to look at him and raised my eyebrow in a 'what are you doing?' kind of way and I glared at him playfully.

So in return he smiled and winked at me.

I just rolled my eyes and carried on watching the film.

"This is some weird ass film" I whisper to Charlie and she nodded in agreement.

"Do you want to know what else is weird?" Emma whispered to us from behind.

"What?" we asked simultaneously.

"That Christian can't stop looking up at you every five seconds and smiling like crazy! And... that he keeps on, like, touching up your leg" She replied and I frowned.

Was he?

"No he isn't. He isn't! He wasn't right?" I asked them and they just smiled.

"Uh... Yeah!" they whispered back before being 'shushed' by the teacher.

I looked in Christians direction and he was once again looking at me but looked away when I saw him.

He looked back at me and smiled and started drawing on my lower thigh and knee with his fingers.

He had a really gentle touch so it tickled quite a bit.

I then moved my knee away from him and he pouted and started using his puppy dog eyes.

"That doesn't work on me" I said bluntly and turned to watch the rest of the -boring- film.

I could still feel his gaze on me as we watched the film.

It was really weird.

And really annoying.

And also a little creepy.

"Mr. Taylor. Would you like to start watching the film rather than Miss Skyes face. please?" Miss Rodgers said and everyone looked at me and Christian.

We were both blushing.

My friends just smirked at me mouthing "I told you so!" to me and I shook my head, chuckling to myself.

They then stated to make kissing noises and I turned to them and stuck out my tongue.

This only made them laugh at me more, so I gave them a sarcastic death glare.

Which only made them laugh even more.

Which made Miss Rodgers shush them again and give them a lunchtime detention for the next day.

We watched the rest of the film in silence, and by the end of the lesson I was wearing make-up ,which I didn't particularly like wearing, and my hair was in a completely new hairstyle.

I took the make-up off though, but I did leave my hair the same.

However, as punishment for taking off my make-up, Charlie and Emma made me sit next to Christian on one side of the class while they were on the opposite side for the next lesson.
