Nicole's POV~
"Hey." He said as he came over and sat next to me. I looked at him.
"Hi." I muttered.
"You must be that girl Nicole that Carter always talks about. He says you're ugly and a bitch, but I can't see where neither of those are true." He said. He made me a little mad by saying what Carter says, but he made it better by covering it up with a compliment.
"Um, yeah. Thank you." I said, not looking at him."
"You're pretty shy, huh?" He said, trying to keep a conversation. I sighed.
"Yes. I have social anxiety and I'd find it rather hard talking to the brother of someone who hates me. Keep in mind I don't even know you besides your name is Seth." I said, more rudely than I expected. He didn't respond and I felt a wave of guilt wash over me. I really am a bitch.
"Look, I din't mean it like that. I just mean it's hard to talk to people I've never met before." I said calmly, watching as he smirked at me.
"I knew what you meant. You weren't even rude.' He chuckled. I felt the heat rising up to my cheeks and I looked away from him, just as the bell rang. The teacher and the sudents came piling in, and Seth stayed where has was.
"Y-you're in..m-my spot." A girl who sat next to me said. Seth stared at her.
"This is my spot now." He grinned, watching the girl skurry to a new seat. I could feel the eyes on me all around the room. Seth must be pretty popular or something. He's infamous.
"Seth, I see you've found yourself a new girl." Mrs. Nora said, glaring at me. She does not like me since I didn't pay attention that one day.
"Nah." Was all he said. I looked at him slightly, and he was looking straight ahead. So he's like..a bad boy. Nice.
~After School~
I didn't bother waiting for Clarissa or Jenny since they introduced me to Seth. They haven't talked to me all day anyways. I didn't want to wait for Seth since we're not really friends, and I'm still mad at Angelina so I don't want to walk with her. Guess I'm walking alone to-
"Hey!" Someone yelled. I turned around and saw none other than Seth. I wached as he jogged over to my side, and I groaned.
"What, don't wanna walk with me? I thought we were besties." He fake cried, making me somewhat laugh.
"You walk this way too?" I asked him. He waited for a bit before answering.
"I guess, yeah." He responded. Then I thought of something.
"Wait, if you're Carter's brother and he lives in the orphanage, where do you live? And how do you guys talk?" I asked.
"I live with my adoption family. I used to live in the orphanage. I guess you came after. But we text and call and stuff." He responded.
"How come Carter never mentioned you to me?" I asked.
"I don't want him telling everyone about me." He stated bluntly. It was an awkward walk down my street until I finally reached Justin's house.
"You live here?" He said. I nodded and began to walk up the steps, but he followed me.
"Um..what are you doing." I said, making Seth smile. "I'm coming in! We're friends, right?"
"I guess.." I muttered, and rang the doorbell. Graser ansered the door. He's over again?
"Think! Nicole has a boy over." He said, glaring at Seth. Seth glared back and I awkwardly pushed him inside.
