Chapter 1
Quad assembly had just ended but the grade eights were told to stay knew why. It was to put the top 5 academic learners from each class in a new class. The 'H' class. Tasmin was in it. She was number two in her old class.
Mrs. Ferreira had just finished calling out the class list for the new class and everyone got up to go to first period when Naomi, Tasmin's frenemy came up to her and said, " Tas! Shame for you man. I would totally hate to be in your class if it weren't for that fine, gorgeous guy."
Typical. Naomi spent most of her time talking to boys.
"What guy, Naomi?"
"OMG Tas! You see? You spend all your time with your nose in books; you don't notice the better things in life, like Tyler Redfern for example."
Great, who the hell was Tyler Redfern?
"Well, where is he Naomi?"
"His absent today. I better head to class. Bye Tas. See you at break."
"Bye," muttered Tasmin.
The first two days in her new class was awesome. Tasmin had more friends in this class than her old one. Misha and Tracey-Leigh were always making her laugh, and she had even started talking like them.
During English, on the third day, someone said Tyler Redfern was in school but in his old class.
"I'll go call him, ma'am," offered Tasmin, just wanting to see what this guy looked liked.
"Sure, Tasmin. Go ahead," replied Mrs. Kamper
Tasmin climbed the stairs to the class above Mrs. Kamper's. She knocked and waited; she could hear laughter from inside the class. Her friend, the other Tracey-Lee; Tracey-Leigh's 'twin' opened the door for her.
Tasmin said, "Sorry to bother you ma'am, but I'm looking for Tyler Redfern. His actually in the 'H' class."
The teacher said, "Tyler, you've been promoted. Hopefully you'll be better behaved."
Tasmin turned her head to look at him for the first time and she felt a pang in her stomach. It was like sparks or butterflies, but stronger. She shook the feeling away and thought, his cute.
"We're at Mrs. Kamper's class now," said Tasmin and without a backward glance she walked away.
