When He Saw Her

Chapter 3

Amelia-

I got up for school a little after my alarm today, but I wasn't late yet. Thank god. I got ready quickly and did few makeup touch ups on my way out of the bathroom. Which was massive by the way, I'm really thankful for the room aunt Eleanor gave me, I really hope we're not too much trouble for her and her husband Andrew.

I starred at myself in the mirror, I've become tan and it shows clearly when I stand next to Tom and Elise. My light hazel eyes glancing across the mirror; making sure everything was perfect for my first impression at school today. I brushed my long brown hair back into a middle parting and put one white barrette, with pearls on it, on each side over my ears. Along with that I wore a plain tight fitting white t-shirt and a beige skirt, I paired my outfit with white chunky sneakers.

I was ready to leave, I went down the stairs and walked to the living room when aunt Eleanor stopped me. I noticed that Tom and Elise were waiting for me so we could go. 'Hey kids, so the boys next door actually go to the same school you go to.' What a coincidence, the three of us looked at each other in curiosity.

She continued, 'I asked their mother if it was possible for them to driving you to school, on the first day, since the bus stop is really far. They should be outside right now, but if not, please knock the door on the house to the right- that's where they live.' She smiled at us and waved goodbye, mom came by and gave us our lunches and kisses on the cheek. We each nodded and walked out the front door, carrying our school bags.

Carter-

I woke up this morning to mom's nagging. She wanted me to take the neighbor's kids with me to school. Since when did Eleanor and Andrew have kids?? Am I going to have more toddlers in my car other than my stupid brother. I groaned, I'm not in the mood for this right now.

She promised me it was only for one day so I agreed. I got ready real quick and put on some random hoodie from my closet. I looked in the mirror at myself, my dark brown eyes scanning my face. Looks good to me, I brushed through my auburn colored hair so it won't get it my way. I grabbed my bag and wore my black sneakers, then I headed to the small kitchen upstairs to have a quick breakfast.

As I was eating my sandwich, I heard someone ring the door bell. I quickly finished my food and ran towards the door.

There were 3 people, one guy and two girls. I opened the door and then looked at them waiting for them to say something. 'Hi, we're the neighbor's kids from next door, our aunt Eleanor told us that you'll be taking us to school I presume?' Said a pale girl with freckles and brown hair, she had her hair up in a pony tail.

'Ohh I'm sorry we haven't introduced our selves' continued the other girl, she was a bit tanner than the first one. 'I'm Amelia, and this is my sister Elise and my brother Tom.' She concluded. I looked at the guy, he had brown hair like both of his sisters- but he had green eyes.

'You can just call us Lise and Melia for short' the girl with freckles smiled, i remembered her name was Elise.

'Sure' I gave them my signature grin, 'I'm Carter and my brother who's still not ready yet is Cameron.'

Those three looked around my age and they said Eleanor was their aunt. Since when did she have family living in America? Although I don't really pay attention to her dull conversations with mom anyway.

I let them in and we all sat in the small kitchen upstairs, on the stools, waiting for that dumbass to finish changing so that this bother of a situation would end already when we reach school.

I gave them the basic layout of the school and showed them how to find their classes. I couldn't focus clearly, because, one of them was wearing really tight clothes. Her curves showed and I couldn't keep my eyes off of her, how bothersome.

Shortly after, Cameron was here and we all went outside to my car, I let Tom sit in the front seat- I admit it he's not that bad. I kept the car roof open for some fresh air, Cameron and the girls sat in the back, the guy couldn't stop talking the whole way, he's so irritating.

I turned the radio on and increased the volume so that I wasn't able to hear him and also so that I keep my mind off Amelia, she shouldn't wear clothes that stick to her like glue on the first day of school. It doesn't bring good attention.

Amelia-

Carter couldn't stop starring at me, i was a little uncomfortable. Maybe I shouldn't of have worn this outfit today, Tom looked like he was enjoying himself though and so did Lise. Cameron is such a sweet guy, he's in my year group too, he's 16, we're the same age. Carter was only a year older.

As soon as we left the car I could see Carter's hoodie clearly from the back.

'That's a really cool hoodie, is it a band or something?' Asked Lise.

'It's from one of my favorite artists' albums, 'Astroworld'. Have you heard of it?' Carter replied with a smile on his face, his dimples showing. I love dimples so freaking much. I guess he liked to talk about his music taste.

Elise shook her head 'sounds cool though,' she said. I looked around and realized that Cameron and Tom have left together while we were talking. I decided that I would stick to Lise, I was too nervous to walk around this place alone.

Out of no where, a crowd of people gathered around all trying to talk to Carter. Mostly girls, I felt an unpleasant sensation in my stomach. Why did it bother me that he was popular?

Lise pulled my arm and we headed to the school, leaving carter with the crowd.
