Valentina's POV

My reflexes immediately kick in. I kick whoever the person was that was holding me hard in the shin. They groan and let me go.

I search for the lights and turn them on. I was in shock when I saw who the person was.

"Carter?!" I say completely shocked.

"Yep, that's me" He says hoping on one leg, holding his shin.

"Why would you do that?! I nearly had a heart attack!" I say kicking him in his other shin.

"You're right. Im sorry. I thought it was gonna be funny" Carter says now laying on the floor still holding onto his shins.

Oops, guess I kicked him to hard.

"Yea you better be sorry" I say crossing my arms over my chest.

"What were you even doing? Arent you supposed to be in class?" I ask putting my hand out to help him up.

"Aren't you?" He says taking my hand.

"I was looking for the washroom" I say in a matter of factly tone.

"You literally passed two of them you know" Carter says laughing.

"What?!" I say baffled.

You've seriously gotta be kidding me right now.

"So, you didn't see me in your class this morning?" He asks me.

"No- Can we get out of this closet and talk? It's kind of weird" I say scratching my neck.

"You're right, my bad" Carter says grabbing my hand.

"Let me show you where the washroom is" He says still holding onto my hand.

As he leads me towards the washroom, I just stare at my hand in his.

I start to feel a weird feeling in the pit of my stomach.

Weird.

"I'll wait for you out here" Carter says leaning against the wall.

"Alright" I say as I head into the washroom.

When I enter, the group of girls all turn around and just watch me.

I was contemplating whether to pee or not

I hate using the washroom with people in it. I feel like they're just listening to me do my business.

I quickly go into one of the stalls and do what I gotta do.

After I was done, I washed my hands.

Yes with the girls still watching me.

Hope they liked the sound of me peeing I guess.

"I'm back roach" I say as I walk out the washroom.

I feel like I call everyone a roach. I need to stop.

"I can see that" Carter says looking at me smiling.

"Alright smart ass, what classes do you have?" I ask creating conversation.

"I have history right now. How about you?" He asks as we start walking.

"Oh for real? Me too" I say excitedly.

"Cool. Wait let me see your schedule. I wanna see if we have any other classes together" Carter says.

"Sure" I say handing him my schedule.

"This is great! We have all the same classes together" He says handing my back my schedule.

"I'll show you where our class is" Carter says grabbing hold of my hand once again.

He sure does like holding my hand.

We make our way to our class and walk in. Everyone turns around and looks at us.

"Pleasure of the two of you to finally join us" The teacher says to us as we enter the classroom.

"Sorry Mrs.H, we got lost" Carter says playing it off.

"Is that why you guys are holding hands?" The teacher points out.

I immediately let go of Carters hand like it was burning hot.

My face immediately turns to a bright shade of red.

"I presume that you're Valentina?" The teacher says.

"Yea" I say putting my hands into my pockets.

"Well since you seem to know Carter very well, you may sit in the seat next to him" The teacher instructs.

Man, I wanted to sit beside Tristan.

I follow Carter to his desk and take the empty seat next to him.

I look around to see where Tristan was. He was only three seats behind mines so it wasn't that bad.

"Alright class, as you know we have a new student. Her name is Valentina. I hope you all make sure that she feels welcomed" The teacher says.

I should probably ask what her name is.

"Alright, Valentina, Carter, before you two walked in late, I was telling the class about the task I'm about to hand out. I had already paired everyone up. You Valentina, will be with Carter and Tristan. Since our numbers are now odd you'll be the only group of three. This assignment will be due two days from now" She explains.

"Wait Mrs.Harris, do you want it on a slides or a paper board?" Tristan asks raising his hand.

Ah so her name is Mrs.Harris.

"Whatever you find easier" She says smiling at Tristan.

"Now Valentina, we are currently learning about Historical thinking. Are you familiar with this?" Mrs.Harris asks me.

"Yea I am" I say.

I actually love History. Literally the easiest subject at school in my opinion.

(A/N: I absolutely hate the subject History, I can never remember a damn thing😭 anywho continuing on)

"Amazing. Do you mind coming up and answering this question?" Mrs.Harris say's pointing at the question on the board.

Yes I actually do mind. Why did she have to put me on the spot like this.

"Uh sure" I say walking up to the board.

The question was pretty easy. I managed to answer it in under a minute.

"Great job Valentina! It seems like you have a pretty good understanding of this unit" Mrs.Harris praises.

The rest of the class just continues to stare at me. I mean, I know that I'm drop dead gorgeous but damn, they dont need to stare that hard.

The remainder of class went by really fast.

It was now lunch, which is pretty weird. At my old school we usually had three classes before lunch. But hey, I'm not complaining, I'm hungry.

"Who you gonna sit with for lunch?" Carter asks me as I begin to pack up my stuff.

"Just Aubree, her friends and Tristan" I say slinging my back bag onto my shoulder.

"Can I sit with you guys too?" Carter asks me as we stand outside of our classroom door waiting for Aubree and Tristan.

"I'll have to ask Aubree-"

"Well who is this baby-sis" Xavier says cutting me off, draping his arm onto my shoulder.

"Who the fu*k are you, and why are you talking to my baby sister?" Xander says picking Carter up by his shirt.

Oh my damn days. Here we go.
