CARTER

Sabrina was out sick today.

The flu or something. I couldn't hear what she was saying over the phone because of the noise. I'd woken up early so I could come to school to finish some work.

Exams were coming and I hadn't settled in on what the hell was going on. It just took me a while to fully draft out the time table.

Today had been rather uneventful and lunch had come and passed quickly. I didn't go to the cafeteria. My English teacher had called me earlier to help her sort out some things so that's where I spent my break.

“Hey Carter, Mr Martins said to call you.”

As I closed my books and walked out of the class, I could hear some of the other kids calling me a teacher's pet. It didn't hurt me anymore, they've always done that.

I wasn't the star student in the class but for some reason, most of the teachers felt it right to call for me when they needed something done. And I didn't bother to wonder why.

“Mr Martins, you called for me?”

He set his mug down and turned to

    CARTERYou know those battles you said you'd fight another day? Well, today was my turn and the battle line had been drawn. My headphones were over my ears, blocking out the distracting noise of the school cafeteria while I concentrated on my food. Sabrina, my best friend nudged me but I didn't respond because I thought she just wanted to gossip again and I wasn't in the mood for it. I had to get home after this and take care of my mum. Suddenly, my headphones were yanked away from my head. “Sabrina, quit the bullshit. I'm not in the-”My words were caught off by the four boys standing in front of me. Jake, Owen, Kian and Erin stood above me, staring down at me which had been our favorite stance since junior year. Jake was the one holding my headphones. “Well, would you look at that? The little rat came back for senior year. You have some balls on you, Carter. I have to give you that.”I didn't want any trouble so I didn't say anything. I just hoped that my lunch won't end up

    CARTERI walked back to class with my head to the floor. I still had half a day to face this cruel world before I went home. My brother was having guests over tonight and I wanted to be home early for him. We had chemistry and I was sure Mr Martins would already be in class since the bell had already rang. “Thank you for joining us, Mr Carter. Please, let us know if you find us worthy to stay with.”The class laughed and I realized the only empty seat was beside Ramsay. Screw my life. His eyes were focused on the petri dish in front of him and if things weren't already awkward before, they surely were now. “Mr Carter, should we bring your throne here?”Cue another round of laughter. Holding my breath in my lungs, I walked over to the chair and sat beside him, moving it a few inches away from him so that we won't be close in any way at all. “Okay class, today we're going to be having a group assignment. Your main purpose is to find out how different atmospheres make bacteria rea

    CARTER. I liked Trig. I loved math in general, so when the teacher asked a question, I didn't hesitate to raise my hand to solve it. Apparently, that made me seem like a dork but I didn't care. I walked up to the board to solve the equation, already having solved the equation from my seat. I turned around and handed the marker back to the teacher. “That is correct, Carter. Why don't you explain to the rest of the class how you got to this conclusion?” I looked at the teacher. That was not a part of our agreement. But I couldn't back out. I quickly explained, trying to act like I couldn't feel Ramsay's hot gaze on my body. It was distracting, very distracting and I stumbled over my words a few times. “Thank you, Carter. You can go sit.”That wasn't the only stumbling that I did. As I walked back, Jake put his leg out for me to trip and I miscalculated avoiding it so I still tripped. On my way down, I grabbed the nearest thing I could find which was someone's hand while trying t

    CARTERWe sat at the dinner table with my brother to my side and Ramsay to my right. What were the odds that he would end up being my brother's girlfriend's brother? Why was he everywhere that I turned? “So Collins, thank you for inviting us to your house once again. You have a beautiful home. I trust your mother is doing okay?”My head was buried in my food as I didn't want to join in the conversation. “ My mother is doing very well, thank you for asking. I am a Chef. And I work in construction, just like my father.”The mention of my dad spoilt my appetite even more. The food did smell good and maybe if they weren't here, I'd be on my second plate. I was trying so hard not to look at Ramsay because he was just as quiet as me. I wasn't sure he was even moving. I guess I wasn't the only one who wanted to be out of here. We finally started dinner and the conversation revolved around Collins and Ashley's relationship. I was truly happy for my brother that he had found someone who

    CARTERI went to school just like Collins said I should. Through the night, I'd called, texted and asked for a video of my mum so that I'll be sure that she was doing okay. I didn't want my mother to die just because of money. She was already going through so much because we couldn't afford to take her to the hospital. My whole being was distracted as I made my way to school. Our first class was chemistry and when I remembered the group project, I felt like ripping my hair out.As if my day couldn't get any worse. The car ride home had been silent, thankfully, and I mumbled a thank you as I got out of the car. Other groups left before us and I looked at the petri dish in front of me, wondering how on earth I was going to start a conversation with him. Thankfully, he put me out of my misery. “Are we going to leave too or what?”Without looking at him, I picked up the three dishes and got up. He followed after me and I figured that no one would want to go to the woods so that's wh
